Both Teams To Score
Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur
Brentford's attacking flair has been evident in pre-season, netting 17 times in four matches with Igor Thiago leading the charge. Despite a recent struggle to score against Tottenham, their offensive momentum suggests they can break through. On the other side, Tottenham's defence looks vulnerable, especially with uncertainty around key defender Micky van de Ven. This defensive instability increases the likelihood that Brentford will find the net, while Spurs' own attacking quality means they should also score. The combination of Brentford's attacking form and Tottenham's defensive questions makes both teams to score a compelling angle at 1.5.
Both Teams To Score No
Inter v Monza
Inter's home advantage and their higher league standing suggest they will control the game, but Monza's defensive approach and the pressure on both sides to avoid defeat point to a cautious, low-scoring affair. With rotation and a likely slow tempo, chances may be limited, especially for Monza's attack, making Both Teams To Score No a logical angle. The draw is a strong possibility here, reinforcing the idea that Monza may struggle to find the net against a solid Inter defence.
Both Teams To Score
Espanyol v Real Madrid
Espanyol tend to stay well-organised defensively but often concede against top sides like Real Madrid, who consistently find the net. Recent meetings suggest a 2-1 scoreline is plausible, reflecting Espanyol's ability to score despite their defensive limitations. This balance makes Both Teams To Score a sensible angle, as Real Madrid's attacking quality should break through, while Espanyol's resilience offers a realistic route to get on the scoresheet themselves.
Atletico-MG to Win
Internacional v Atletico-MG
Atletico-MG arrive in better form and with a more efficient attack than Internacional, who have struggled to consistently threaten opponents. Their ability to create and convert chances, coupled with a steadier defense, suggests they have the edge to secure victory here. This profile supports backing Atletico-MG to win, as their recent performances indicate they can impose themselves and take the three points despite the decent odds.
Opening weekend of the Premier League arrives alongside La Liga’s first returns, a Serie A curtain-raiser in Milan and a high-stakes Brazilian league fixture. Four matches spread across two continents, each presenting evidence that points in different directions.
In west London, both clubs spent the summer scoring at pace before a Premier League opener that carries real questions on both sides. Italy’s early season picture looks quite different — a dominant home side welcoming a newly promoted visitor that arrives already missing its captain and two of its more direct attacking options. On the Catalan coast, one of Europe’s most watched clubs begins its league campaign with a squad that includes several new additions set for competitive debuts. And in Porto Alegre, a side without a league win in seven matches receives opponents who arrive unbeaten in ten games across all competitions.
Four fixtures. Four distinct sets of evidence. None of them straightforward.
Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur
Keith Andrews’s side arrived at the opening weekend carrying the weight of 17 pre-season goals across four straight victories — a run culminating in a 7-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt. Igor Thiago, whose 22 Premier League goals last season made him one of the division’s most reliable scorers, contributed twice in that final friendly alongside Kevin Schade, who also scored twice. Between them, the pair accounted for seven direct goal involvements in a single game. That is the attacking momentum Brentford carry into this fixture.
Tottenham’s defensive record frames the opportunity clearly. Spurs conceded 57 Premier League goals last season — a total only the three relegated sides exceeded — and they arrive at the Gtech with real uncertainty at the back. Micky van de Ven missed training during the week and is a major doubt, meaning new arrivals Marcos Senesi and Jan Paul van Hecke could be paired together in their first competitive match as a combination. Facing a home side that put seven past Frankfurt in pre-season, that backline faces an immediate examination.
The obvious challenge to this selection is Brentford’s record against Spurs specifically: they have failed to score in each of their last three head-to-head meetings, a pattern that cannot simply be set aside. Tottenham’s attacking options are also thinned by the unavailability of Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski and Mohammed Kudus, but they have enough returning players to offer a threat — Spurs have never lost a Premier League fixture at the Gtech. Still, away from home they failed to win eight of their final ten league matches last season, and a Brentford side this sharp in front of goal represents a harder early test than their record at this ground might suggest.

Inter Milan vs Monza
Monza return to Italian football’s top flight at perhaps the most demanding venue available, and they arrive in Milan without several of the players they would have hoped to rely on. Captain Matteo Pessina has suffered a serious knee injury and is absent entirely. Dany Mota and Demba Thiam are both suspended. The remaining attacking options — Patrick Cutrone, who contributed nine goals in Serie B last season, and Gustavo Varela, who scored twice against Avellino in the Coppa Italia — carry some early-season momentum, but this is a newly promoted squad integrating a new head coach in Ivan Juric under the most difficult of opening conditions.
The home context works firmly against Monza scoring. Inter won 14 of 19 home games last season and begin their title defence with Lautaro Martinez — their captain, last season’s leading scorer in Italy with 17 league goals, and a player who has scored five times in six Serie A appearances against Monza specifically. The Nerazzurri went unbeaten through six pre-season matches, including a win over Juventus and a penalty shootout victory over Manchester City, and they enter this fixture in the kind of settled form that is difficult for a newly promoted side to disrupt.
The counterpoint worth acknowledging is that Monza produced a 1-0 win at San Siro as recently as April 2023, and their Coppa Italia victory over Avellino confirms some attacking intent remains despite the absences. Inter are also without Henrikh Mkhitaryan through suspension. But the combination of three suspended or injured attacking players, a new coaching setup and an opponent this settled at home makes it difficult to see Monza converting enough to trouble the hosts.
Best bet: Both Teams To Score NO
Espanyol vs Real Madrid
Espanyol arrived at this fixture with purpose already established. Their 3-0 opening victory over Levante gave Manolo Gonzalez’s side immediate momentum, with Roberto Fernandez scoring twice to demonstrate that their attacking line has started the season in working order. The Catalan club had the look of a potential top-half force for much of last season before a difficult second half of the campaign, and a statement first-weekend result suggests some of that early intent has carried over into 2026-27.
Real Madrid, despite the scale of their summer recruitment, bring a different kind of uncertainty. Several new arrivals — Dumfries, Konate, Cucurella and Bernardo Silva — are expected to make their competitive debuts together in the same starting eleven, while Jude Bellingham may not feature from the outset after limited pre-season minutes. The injury list adds further disruption: Eder Militao, Rodrygo, Raul Asencio and Ferland Mendy are all unavailable, with Endrick and Tchouameni also facing late fitness tests. Kylian Mbappe leads the attack and Real Madrid won four of their five pre-season matches, including three straight victories in that sequence, so their goal threat remains genuine. A backline introducing multiple unfamiliar partnerships simultaneously, however, faces a test against a home side already in rhythm.
The hesitation is Espanyol’s recent record in this fixture. They lost 2-0 to Real Madrid in both league meetings last season, failing to score on either occasion. The more encouraging reference point is their 1-0 home win over Los Blancos in February 2025, which confirms they can find the net at RCDE Stadium against this opposition. A Real Madrid defence making several debut combinations at once creates the kind of uncertainty that a settled home attack is well placed to exploit.
Best bet: Both Teams To Score YES
Internacional vs Atlético Mineiro
Internacional have been searching for a league win for seven matches, and the 1-1 draw with Remo — in which they conceded late after taking the lead — extended a winless run that has left them 16th in the Brazilian Serie A. Their overall record of five wins, nine draws and nine defeats tells the story of a side unable to convert competitive performances into points, and an average of one goal scored per game across the entire season underlines how modest their attacking contribution has been.
Atlético Mineiro present a strikingly different picture. They are unbeaten in ten matches across all competitions, their last five Serie A fixtures have brought three wins and two draws, and their most recent league outing was a 3-0 victory over Grêmio. They have conceded in only four of those ten unbeaten matches, which means their consistency has come from both sides of the pitch rather than relying on attacking output alone. In head-to-head terms, Atlético Mineiro have not lost to Internacional in three meetings, and the most recent direct encounter ended 1-0 in the visitors’ favour in March. Bernard leads their league scoring with three goals.
Internacional do hold home advantage, and their tendency to lead at half-time in seven of their last eleven home games suggests they remain capable of starting competitively at Estadio Beira-Rio. Atlético Mineiro are also without Ángelo Preciado through suspension. But Internacional are themselves missing two suspended players in Matheus Bahia and Victor Gabriel, and the gap in recent form between these two sides is pronounced. Against opponents who have gone ten matches without losing and who hold a superior record in recent head-to-head meetings, a side 16th in the table and winless in seven starts at a disadvantage that home support alone may not be sufficient to overcome.
