📊 Three Key Stats Behind Today’s Picks
- PSG have won the last nine Ligue 1 meetings against Marseille.
- Dortmund have scored 13 goals in their last four matches across all competitions.
- Getafe have never won away at Barcelona in La Liga.
Barcelona vs Getafe
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Barcelona head back to domestic duty after a fine midweek victory in the Champions League against Newcastle. Marcus Rashford’s brace showed his quality, while Robert Lewandowski remains a constant threat. The Catalans sit second in La Liga and are unbeaten from their first four matches, scoring ten and conceding just three.
Getafe are also in strong early-season form, collecting nine points already, but history offers little encouragement. They have never won away against Barcelona, and even though this game will again be staged at the Johan Cruyff Stadium rather than Camp Nou, Flick’s team still enjoy an intimidating record. Flick may rotate with a busy schedule ahead, yet his squad depth remains impressive. Getafe’s compact style may restrict chances, but Barcelona’s extra quality should tell. A solid defensive base suggests a controlled home win rather than a high-scoring rout.
Best bet – Barcelona to Win & Under 2.5 Goals
Sporting Lisbon to Win & Both Teams to Score | |
29/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Sporting’s fluent attack, spearheaded by Trincão and Pote, should breach Moreirense more than once, but the visitors’ sharp start to the season hints at a reply. Lisbon’s extra class and depth make them favourites in what looks a lively encounter. | |
Borussia Dortmund vs Wolfsburg
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
The Bundesliga closes the weekend with a clash at Signal Iduna Park where Dortmund entertain Wolfsburg. Dortmund are unbeaten in all competitions, fresh from an eight-goal thriller against Juventus in Europe. They have already shown their capacity to score heavily, but defensive gaps remain.
Wolfsburg have started positively, drawing two of their opening three Bundesliga games while also finding the net regularly. Midfield captain Maximilian Arnold is in excellent form, adding both creativity and goals, while their wide players have looked dangerous in transition. Dortmund’s record at home against Wolfsburg is superb, with seven consecutive wins at this venue, but the visitors carry enough threat to make their mark on the scoresheet. Given Dortmund’s attacking form and defensive vulnerabilities, a high-scoring contest looks likely. Both teams should contribute to the entertainment, with a shootout very much on the cards.
Best bet – Over 4.5 Goals
Napoli to Win & Over 2.5 Goals | |
6/5 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Napoli’s formidable home record and attacking quality make them strong favourites against a Pisa side struggling to score. Even if the visitors find one, the champions’ offensive depth should see them rack up enough chances to clear the goal line with room to spare. | |
Marseille vs Paris Saint-Germain
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Le Classique returns to the Stade Vélodrome as Marseille welcome reigning champions PSG. The hosts have been inconsistent under Roberto De Zerbi, with just two wins from their first four Ligue 1 matches. Despite home advantage, their defence has looked vulnerable against top-level opposition.
PSG arrive in flying form, unbeaten and fresh from a commanding Champions League win against Atalanta. Luis Enrique’s side have scored ten goals and conceded just three in the league, with Kylian Mbappé and new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia already combining well. PSG’s recent record in this derby is dominant, winning the last nine Ligue 1 meetings.
Marseille should have enough attacking weapons to trouble PSG – Timothy Weah has made an instant impact – but their backline may again struggle to contain Enrique’s relentless attack. A result in PSG’s favour looks likely, but Marseille’s home form suggests goals at both ends.
Best bet – PSG to Win & Both Teams to Score
Millwall to Win & Both Teams to Score | |
4/1 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Millwall’s battling edge and strong record against Watford point to a home victory, though the Hornets’ transitional play should generate at least one reply. The Den is never easy for visitors, and this looks primed for a high-intensity clash with goals both ways. | |
Fiorentina vs Como
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Fiorentina’s league campaign has yet to ignite, but they have shown flashes of their potential. Their home record in Serie A remains strong, with five wins from their last seven matches in Florence. Moise Kean leads the line, supported by Dani Olmo and Albert Gudmundsson, who recently returned from injury.
Como started the season brightly, including a famous win over Lazio, but they have since faltered with only one point from their last two games. Cesc Fàbregas’s men were denied late on against Genoa last time out and now face a step up in quality against a Fiorentina side eager for three points.
The Viola’s squad depth and home advantage should prove decisive. While Como are spirited, their lack of top-level experience is likely to be exposed in Florence. Fiorentina’s attack should secure them a first league victory of September.
Best bet – Fiorentina to Win
Burgos to Win | |
6/5 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Burgos are sharper in front of goal and more resilient at home, while Granada’s defensive woes continue. Even if the visitors enjoy spells of possession, Ramis’s side are better equipped to strike and secure another valuable victory. | |
🧲 Sunday Super Double
For today’s Super Double, we’ve paired two alternative bets from the matches above for added value.
- Barcelona vs Getafe – Both Teams to Score: No
- Marseille vs PSG – Over 2.5 Goals
Rationale:
Barcelona’s defensive organisation should be enough to deny Getafe any goalscoring opportunities, making BTTS unlikely. Meanwhile, PSG and Marseille’s attacking strengths point to at least three goals in Le Classique. Combined, these two selections make for a strong-value double.
Monday’s Super Double | |
6/1 - odds when tipped | |
Reasoning Sporting’s attacking rhythm should produce multiple goals while their quality ensures victory, and Burgos’s disciplined defence can frustrate a Granada side lacking cutting edge. This blend of attacking power and defensive solidity forms a strong-value double for Monday’s fixtures. | |
