Let’s now dive into the top football tips of the day and make the most of the many betting opportunities.

📊 Three Key Stats Behind Today’s Picks

• Albacete have conceded 13 goals in four matches this season.
• Como have won five of their last six games at Stadio Sinigaglia.
• Goteborg have won six of their last ten league fixtures.

Espanyol vs Mallorca

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Espanyol have hit the ground running this term, claiming seven points from their opening three matches and already showing versatility in how they secure results. They stunned Atletico Madrid with a high-tempo performance at RCDE Stadium, drew in a 2-2 thriller with Real Sociedad and then demonstrated composure to edge Osasuna 1-0. That balance of attacking potency and defensive organisation highlights why they are well-placed to challenge for a top-half spot this season.

Mallorca, by contrast, have struggled against elite opposition in the early rounds, losing to both Barcelona and Real Madrid but still showing signs of resilience, especially at the Bernabéu where they competed admirably. Jagoba Arrasate’s men have Vedat Muriqi as their main focal point, while Sergi Darder’s supply can create moments even when under pressure. Despite that, Espanyol’s attacking weapons in Pere Milla, Javi Puado and Kike Garcia should be too much to contain at home.

Best bet – Espanyol to Win

Como vs Genoa

Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Como have transformed their approach under Cesc Fabregas, pressing aggressively and turning possession into chances at speed. Their 2-0 home win over Lazio illustrated how effective this approach can be, and Nico Paz has already become the heartbeat of the side with key contributions in recent outings. Having won five of their last six league games at Stadio Sinigaglia, they look formidable on home soil.

Genoa have made a stuttering start, collecting just one point from their opening fixtures and still searching for a first league goal. Patrick Vieira’s men are competitive in possession but often lack cutting edge when the game opens up. Their away record is a concern too, with only one victory in their last eleven on the road.

Como’s balance between pressing intensity and individual quality up front with Douvikas and Paz makes them hard to resist in front of their own fans.

Best bet – Como to Win

Real Zaragoza vs Albacete

Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Zaragoza are yet to taste victory this season but have shown signs of stabilising with back-to-back 1-1 draws after two opening defeats. Dani Gomez has been their main outlet, scoring twice already, and their matches continue to follow a familiar trend: goals at both ends. They have conceded in 11 of their last 12 league fixtures, with nine of those seeing both teams score.

Albacete have endured a torrid start, losing three of four matches and conceding 13 goals in the process. Their matches have been consistently high-scoring, with every fixture producing BTTS. Away from home, their record is poor, without a win in seven. Nevertheless, they still attack in numbers and often find a way to score even in defeat.

With both sides struggling defensively but carrying threat going forward, this clash looks primed for goals, and a BTTS outcome feels highly likely.

Best bet – Both Teams to Score

Hacken vs IFK Goteborg

Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You

Rationale:
Hacken’s form has dipped sharply, with three consecutive home defeats and a porous defence conceding seven goals in that spell. Despite that, they still pose attacking threat through John Paul Dembe and Amor Layouni, and recent meetings with Goteborg tend to be high scoring.

Goteborg, meanwhile, are on an upswing with six wins from their last ten league fixtures. Stefan Billborn has struck a good balance: the side average 1.5 goals across that run, with Max Fenger and Tobias Heintz proving consistent attacking outlets. Their improvement in possession numbers and corners won demonstrates how they are applying sustained pressure in matches.

With Hacken struggling for defensive stability but still dangerous in attack, and Goteborg sharper in recent weeks, the visitors have the edge. A BTTS outcome is again likely, but the away side’s form suggests they can take the points.

Best bet – IFK Goteborg to Win & Both Teams to Score

🧲 Sunday Super Double

Espanyol vs Mallorca – Over 2.5 Goals

Como vs Genoa – Both Teams to Score

Rationale:
This Super Double banks on attacking quality to shine. Espanyol’s vibrant forward line should ensure a high-scoring affair with Mallorca’s counter-attacking weapons. Como’s pressing style leaves space at the back, and Genoa will eventually find the net. Combining over goals in Spain with BTTS in Italy offers solid value.
