Back our 8/1 Today’s acca here!

1) Manchester United vs Burnley

Steve Harrington; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Old Trafford stages a meeting of contrasting moods. Manchester United are reeling from their astonishing penalty shootout exit at Grimsby, which followed a flat league start against Arsenal and Fulham. Defensive uncertainty lingers, with Lisandro Martinez still absent and the goalkeeping debate unresolved after Altay Bayindir and Andre Onana both endured jittery moments. Despite big-money arrivals up front, cohesion remains a work in progress, and Ruben Amorim’s side have lost eight of their last thirteen Premier League home fixtures, a run that speaks to fragility when protecting leads.

Burnley, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by consecutive wins over Sunderland and Derby, and Scott Parker has restored belief, variety and late-game threat. The Clarets’ historical comfort at Old Trafford is striking: few visiting clubs avoid defeat in more than half of their Premier League trips there. With Martin Dubravka marshalling from the back and Josh Cullen knitting play, the visitors carry enough invention to nick one, while United’s individual quality nearly always manufactures chances at the other end.

2) Tottenham Hotspur vs Bournemouth

Tyler Morris; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Tottenham’s fast start under Thomas Frank has been built on front-foot aggression and quick transitions. The Etihad triumph highlighted their direct threat, with Brennan Johnson’s pace stretching the game and Joao Palhinha adding bite in midfield. Even with key absentees such as Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison still sidelined, Spurs remain loaded with runners in wide channels and quality deliveries from Pedro Porro. Three victories to open a Premier League season with accompanying clean sheets is rare air for the Lilywhites, but the likelier repeat theme here is tempo and chance volume rather than another shutout.

Bournemouth, under Andoni Iraola, rarely die wondering away from home. They have scored in 15 of their last 16 league trips, press high, and use Marcus Tavernier’s directness to generate quick looks from broken play. While their midweek EFL Cup exit to Brentford was deflating, the Cherries’ league pattern points towards open, end-to-end football. With Spurs striving to hit top spot and Bournemouth almost always carrying a punch in the capital, the goals angle appeals most.

3) Watford vs Southampton

John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Watford’s rebuild under Paulo Pezzolano shows encouraging signs—four points from two after early teething issues—but there remains a rawness about their structure, particularly with Imran Louza suspended and a youthful core still learning combinations. The Hornets earned a spirited home win against QPR and a gritty point at Swansea, yet they conceded late there and continue to shuffle parts across the middle third.

Southampton, by contrast, look more settled. Will Still’s approach has tightened the Saints defensively on the road: just one goal conceded across three away assignments in all competitions so far. Their 3-0 cup success at Norwich underlined growing authority, and with Ryan Manning offering thrust from wing-back and Flynn Downes knitting transitions, they possess the control to quieten Vicarage Road. The visitors also score in most matches—they have found the net in each of their five fixtures under Still—so the safety-first angle is attractive. The market may lean slightly towards parity, but the superior organisation and away solidity swing it the Saints’ way with a protective cushion.

4) Parma vs Atalanta

Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Parma’s return to league action at the Tardini arrives with a new coach and a patched-up forward line. Carlos Cuesta’s young side were tidy in spells against Juventus, yet they created little of note and are short up front with Matija Frigan out and Jacob Ondrejka sidelined. Mateo Pellegrino impressed in the cup, but Serie A is a step up, and supply lines to the front two remain inconsistent.

Atalanta under Ivan Juric are still bedding in, though the underlying performance versus Pisa was dominant and Gianluca Scamacca’s fitness is trending up. Crucially, La Dea’s away body of work is elite: seven wins in their last eight league trips with that hefty +20 differential suggests they travel with menace, pressing high and breaking with numbers. Even without Ademola Lookman, they can draw upon Charles De Ketelaere between lines, Bellanova’s width and a robust De Roon–Ederson axis. Parma ended Atalanta’s prior winning streak last May, but personnel churn and injuries tilt the rematch heavily towards the Bergamaschi.
