Middlesbrough vs Swansea City
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Middlesbrough begin a new chapter under Rob Edwards, looking to push back into the Championship play-off conversation after last season’s late collapse saw them tumble to mid-table. They struggled for goals in pre-season, but the addition of Callum Brittain offers more attacking width, and with the home crowd behind them at the Riverside, they should be able to create chances.
Swansea arrive under new manager Alan Sheehan, whose tactical approach has yet to be tested in competitive Championship football. While the Swans’ summer recruitment has been limited, they still possess enough creative talent to trouble a Middlesbrough defence missing first-choice goalkeeper Seny Dieng. Cameron Burgess’ leadership at the back will help, but defensive partnerships may take time to gel.
Given Boro’s determination to start strong and Swansea’s attacking potential despite their ongoing search for a reliable striker, both teams finding the net looks a realistic outcome.

Oxford United vs Portsmouth
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Oxford United survived their first Championship season in decades and are looking to build stability. Gary Rowett has strengthened the squad with a blend of permanent and loan signings, and their 3-0 friendly win over Malaga showed they can be clinical when chances arise.
Portsmouth head into the campaign on the back of a six-game unbeaten pre-season run. Even without Colby Bishop, who is sidelined, John Mousinho’s men have attacking threats in the likes of Lang and Segecic. They also carry confidence from a strong second half of last season, climbing from relegation trouble to mid-table comfort.
Oxford have not beaten Pompey in over two years, but both sides have scored in three of their last four meetings. With Oxford keen to impress at home and Portsmouth’s form suggesting they will create opportunities, the BTTS angle feels well-supported by the data.
Best bet – Both Teams To Score
West Bromwich Albion vs Blackburn Rovers
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
West Brom fell short of the play-offs last season due to too many draws, but their attacking line, bolstered by Aune Heggebo, should offer more cutting edge. Ryan Mason will look to get the Hawthorns faithful behind them early with proactive football.
Blackburn, meanwhile, only missed the play-offs by two points and tend to raise their game in this fixture, having lost just once in their last seven meetings with West Brom. Valerien Ismael’s side have attacking options in Makhtar Gueye and promising new signing Sidnei Tavares, though they are carrying a few injury absences in midfield and defence.
Both sides have enough quality to score, and neither looked watertight in pre-season. With West Brom eager to atone for last year’s home loss to Rovers and Blackburn’s record of finding the net in this fixture, BTTS appears a strong play.
Best bet – Both Teams To Score
Exeter City vs Blackpool
Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Exeter suffered a narrow opening-day defeat to Doncaster but showed enough defensive resilience to suggest they won’t be overrun at home. Gary Caldwell’s team are well-drilled, but they need to be sharper in the final third if they want to take points from stronger sides.
Blackpool started their season with a loss to Stevenage, conceding three times but also scoring twice. Steve Bruce’s men have an excellent record against Exeter, including three straight wins, and they have shown an ability to score goals even when their defence is unsettled.
With injuries on both sides forcing makeshift selections, defensive lapses are likely. Blackpool’s experience and Exeter’s desire to make amends in front of their supporters create the conditions for a competitive game where both teams will push forward. Goals at both ends seem probable given recent head-to-head trends.
Best bet – Both Teams To Score
Crawley Town vs Newport County
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Crawley’s return to League Two started badly with a heavy defeat to Grimsby, where defensive frailties were exposed. Scott Lindsey’s side will need to respond at home, and their pre-season scoring record suggests they can threaten going forward, especially with Tshimanga in attack.
Newport drew with Notts County after a dramatic delay and also advanced in the EFL Cup via penalties against Barnet. Maurice Steijn’s side showed resilience and creativity in those matches, with new signing Ged Garner already making an impact on the scoresheet.
Both teams have vulnerabilities at the back and are still bedding in new signings, but each has enough firepower to take advantage of defensive uncertainty. This combination of attacking potential and defensive instability makes BTTS a logical choice for this League Two clash.
