Fulham vs Nottingham Forest
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Fulham’s disciplined pre-season form continues as Marco Silva focuses on building defensive stability ahead of the Premier League campaign. They’ve kept two clean sheets in as many outings, seeing off Aberdeen 4-0 and edging past West Brom 1-0 in a match where they rotated 22 players. This signals a clear intent: maintain structure and fitness over risk.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, remain goalless after two pre-season matches — drawing 0-0 with both Chesterfield and Monaco. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side appear to be using these friendlies to tighten their backline and manage fitness, especially with injuries still affecting players like Nicolas Dominguez and Neco Williams.
The last six Fulham-Forest meetings produced low totals in four of them, and with both sides valuing control and shape over early fireworks, another low-scoring contest looks likely. With unsettled attacks and sharp defences, expect goals to be at a premium in Faro.

Atlanta United vs Seattle Sounders
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Both Atlanta and Seattle arrive at this match off the back of wild 3-2 scorelines — Atlanta lost to Charlotte and Seattle edged out San Jose. These scorelines aren’t isolated. Atlanta have conceded at least two in four consecutive matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, while Seattle have let in 33 goals already this season — just two fewer than their total for the entire 2024 campaign.
The Sounders are typically defensively resolute, but this season they’ve already allowed three or more goals in five different MLS games. Atlanta, meanwhile, have been inconsistent but possess goal threats in Latte Lath, Muyumba, and the recently returned Miguel Almirón.
With Seattle’s away matches against Eastern Conference teams producing open contests and Atlanta desperate to break their winless streak, the ingredients are there for another goal-heavy affair. Add in the stakes — with both teams chasing postseason ambitions — and this should be lively from the first whistle.
Best bet – Over 2.5 Goals
La Louvière vs Standard Liège
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
This Belgian top-flight opener may be long-awaited for La Louvière, but it promises to be a nervy, low-scoring affair. The hosts return to the Jupiler Pro League after almost 20 years, and manager Frédéric Taquin is likely to take a cautious approach against a well-established Standard Liège side.
Despite playing in front of a raucous home crowd at Stade du Tivoli, La Louvière will prioritise structure and defensive discipline. Their unbeaten home streak suggests solidity rather than attacking flair.
As for the visitors, Standard Liège are without key players like Zeqiri and Bates and continue to struggle away from home. They’ve failed to score in their last four league matches and are winless in seven straight away trips. While their defence is improving, they’ve managed just one clean sheet in that run.
Both teams have looked toothless in attack during pre-season, and with pressure mounting, a cagey affair looks inevitable.
Best bet – Under 1.5 Goals
Inter Miami vs FC Cincinnati
Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Goals are never far away when Lionel Messi steps onto the pitch. Inter Miami’s talisman has bagged six braces in seven MLS appearances, and with the Herons eager for revenge after a 3-0 loss to Cincinnati earlier this month, expect fireworks in Florida.
Javier Mascherano’s side responded to that defeat with a 5-1 thrashing of New York Red Bulls, showing they’ve not lost their scoring touch. Whether or not Messi features from the start, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets and Redondo offer enough attacking creativity to stretch a Cincinnati backline that, despite topping the league, isn’t bulletproof.
Cincinnati themselves are in brilliant form — winning six of their last seven matches and scoring 14 goals across that stretch. They’ve also won four straight away games, making this clash a meeting of two attacking titans.
Given recent history, defensive gaps, and elite forwards on both sides, this one screams goals.
Best bet – Over 3.5 Goals
