Liverpool vs Bournemouth
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Liverpool begin their Premier League title defence at Anfield, and there’s every reason to expect them to come out firing. Despite losing the Community Shield, Arne Slot’s side are unbeaten in 17 home league matches and remain extremely hard to stop on Merseyside. With Salah leading the line and new signings adding attacking depth, the Reds should dominate territory and chances against a Bournemouth side who are undergoing a defensive rebuild.
Bournemouth’s off-season has seen key defenders depart, including Liverpool-bound Milos Kerkez, and their pre-season form hasn’t inspired much confidence. They’ve never won at Anfield in the league, losing their last six visits by an aggregate scoreline of 23-2.
Salah, who averaged 1.3 shots on target per game last season, tends to start seasons strongly and will be central to Liverpool’s forward play. Expect him to test the Bournemouth keeper early and often, as the Reds push to make a statement.
Best bet – Mohamed Salah: 2+ shots on target

Villarreal vs Real Oviedo
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Real Oviedo’s return to Spain’s top division sees them visit a Villarreal side who finished fifth in La Liga and were among the best-performing home teams. The Yellow Submarine have retained their core squad and added Nicolas Pepe to bolster the attack.
Oviedo are making their first La Liga appearance in over two decades and were thrashed in the Segunda playoffs just months ago. While they’ve added experience with Rondon and Cazorla, the leap in quality is significant. In their current setup, they’re likely to play compact and cautious football, especially away from home.
Villarreal’s dominance in terms of possession and territory should see them pin the visitors back. Their midfield structure is strong, and they’ve proven adept at controlling the tempo against lower-ranked teams. With a clear edge in quality, and facing a side with little rhythm at this level, a win to nil for the hosts is the logical pick.
Best bet – Villarreal to win to nil
Rennes vs Marseille
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
The new Ligue 1 season opens with an intriguing encounter at Roazhon Park, where Marseille take on a Rennes side that finished in the bottom half of the table last season. OM, meanwhile, ended second behind PSG and return to Champions League football under Roberto De Zerbi.
The visitors have strengthened well over the summer, bringing in Adrien Rabiot and seeing Mason Greenwood and Aubameyang continue up front. Greenwood in particular has looked lively in pre-season and remains one of the most clinical forwards in the league.
Rennes have only beaten Marseille once in their last five meetings and conceded four on the final day of last season against the same opponents. Their summer activity has left the squad with some holes, particularly at centre-back, and Marseille are likely to exploit that.
Given the attacking tools OM have and their dominant record over Rennes, an away win in an entertaining clash makes sense.
Best bet – Marseille to win and both teams to score
Lecce vs Juve Stabia
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Lecce kick off their Coppa Italia campaign at Via del Mare against a Juve Stabia side who struggled on the road last season. The hosts survived in Serie A on the final day last term, winning away at Lazio to stay up — a result which showed grit and determination when it mattered.
Now under the guidance of returning boss Eusebio Di Francesco, Lecce will view this competition as a chance to build early momentum ahead of the league season. Their pre-season was mixed, but victories over Spezia and Carrarese suggested attacking progress, and the presence of Nikola Krstovic and new arrival Riccardo Sottil gives them enough firepower.
Juve Stabia, meanwhile, have only managed one away win in 2025 and come into this with a changed squad and a new manager in Ignazio Abate. Without last season’s 15-goal striker Andrea Adorante, they could lack punch up front.
Best bet – Lecce to win to nil
