📊 Three Key Stats Behind Today’s Picks
- Juventus conceded just 28 Serie A goals last season – the second-best defensive record in the league.
- Girona conceded three first-half goals in their opener – showing early-season defensive instability.
- Fulham are without a clean sheet in five straight home games – expect goals at both ends against Manchester United.
Juventus vs Parma
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Juventus begin their Serie A campaign looking to wipe away memories of a chaotic 2024/25 season. Despite finishing fourth, they were plagued by inconsistency and a lack of clinical edge in attack. The arrival of Jonathan David from Lille should address that problem – the Canadian has scored 15+ goals in each of his last four Ligue 1 campaigns.
Parma surprised many by avoiding relegation last year, and they even beat Juve at the Tardini. However, with Cristian Chivu gone and Carlos Cuesta stepping into his first senior role, the Gialloblu face a far steeper challenge. Injuries to Jacob Ondrejka and Matija Frigan leave them light in attack, which makes scoring in Turin look unlikely.
Juve were second-best defensively in Serie A last term and with Bremer fit again, they should have no issues shutting down a weakened Parma front line.
Best bet – Juventus to Win to Nil
Juventus to Win to Nil | |
13/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Juventus have defensive solidity and Parma are missing key attackers. With Jonathan David debuting, Juve should be sharper up front while keeping things tight at the back. A home win without conceding looks the standout choice. | |
Villarreal vs Girona
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Villarreal launched their La Liga season with a controlled 2-0 win over Real Oviedo, and they look primed for another strong campaign under Marcelino. Their home form was solid last year, losing only three matches, and with summer signings like Renato Veiga and Tajon Buchanan adding depth, they look equipped to finish top four again.
Girona, in contrast, opened with a poor 3-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano. Without Gazzaniga in goal due to suspension and having sold Miguel Gutierrez, they look vulnerable, particularly away from home. Thomas Lemar should bring creativity, but defensive gaps are a real concern.
With Villarreal’s attack led by Eyong and Pepe, they should control this clash. Girona will likely grab a goal, but home advantage and greater quality make Villarreal favourites.
Best bet – Villarreal to Win & Both Teams to Score

21/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Villarreal have the firepower to win at home, while Girona’s defensive weaknesses leave them exposed. The Catalans can score, but Villarreal should outgun them. Expect goals at both ends but a home victory. | |
Fulham vs Manchester United
Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Craven Cottage hosts an intriguing duel where Fulham will want to put their three-game home losing streak behind them. Marco Silva’s side grabbed a dramatic late equaliser at Brighton through Rodrigo Muniz, and the striker looks ready to cement his place as Fulham’s main forward.
Manchester United put in a decent performance against Arsenal but were undone by poor finishing and a David Raya masterclass. They have attacking quality in Mbeumo and Cunha, but without Lisandro Martinez in defence and uncertainty in goal, United remain fragile at the back.
Fulham have failed to beat United in their last eight home meetings, but this feels like the moment for a breakthrough. With confidence restored and United still searching for stability, Fulham can grab a famous victory – though United should still find the net.
Best bet – Fulham to Win & Both Teams to Score

22/5 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Fulham have momentum after their Brighton draw and face a United side with defensive flaws. Expect the hosts to grab the win in an entertaining match where both teams are likely to score. | |
Atalanta vs Pisa
Gram Dodd; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Atalanta embark on a new era post-Gasperini, and while they still have plenty of attacking quality, this opener won’t be straightforward. Scamacca and De Ketelaere should lead the line, but their backline is adjusting to life under Ivan Juric.
Pisa return to Serie A for the first time in over three decades, and under Alberto Gilardino they will be organised, motivated, and keen to make an impression. With Nzola and Cuadrado bolstering their squad, they have the firepower to trouble Atalanta, even away from home.
La Dea’s superior squad should secure the win, but Pisa can get on the scoresheet, especially against a defence that often concedes in openers. This promises to be a lively start for both sides.
Best bet – Atalanta to Win & Both Teams to Score

2/1 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Atalanta’s quality should see them through, but Pisa are dangerous enough to score. Expect a lively encounter where the home side’s firepower earns victory, but their defence concedes at least once. | |
🧲 Sunday Super Double
For today’s Super Double, we’re combining two alternative angles from the matches above:
- Juventus to Score in Both Halves (vs Parma)
- Atalanta -1 Handicap (vs Pisa)
Rationale:
Juventus should dominate a Parma side lacking attacking depth, and with Jonathan David debuting, they can score in both halves. Atalanta, meanwhile, have too much quality for newly-promoted Pisa, and a handicap win looks excellent value. This double offers a balance of safety and value.
