Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Tottenham return to Premier League duty just days after narrowly missing out on UEFA Super Cup glory against Paris Saint-Germain. Thomas Frank’s men, despite their penalty heartbreak, demonstrated they can compete toe-to-toe with Europe’s elite, and with Dominic Solanke fit again, Spurs’ frontline looks sharp. Home advantage on the opening day has served Tottenham well historically, as they have beaten newly-promoted opponents in their first game in both 2000 and 2019.
Burnley arrive off the back of an extraordinary defensive record in the Championship, conceding just 16 goals in 46 matches last season. Yet, their step back up to the top tier is expected to be challenging. Scott Parker’s side may be resolute, but their record against Spurs is poor, with no Premier League away win in nine attempts. With Tottenham struggling to keep clean sheets, a narrow but entertaining home win looks the likeliest outcome.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Manchester City begin their campaign at Molineux with memories of last year’s frustrations still fresh. Having failed to lift a major trophy for the first time in nearly a decade, Pep Guardiola has overhauled his squad with attacking reinforcements like Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki. Historically, City thrive on the opening weekend, with seven wins from their last eight opening fixtures, scoring 19 and conceding only twice. Erling Haaland’s personal record against Wolves — eight goals in five appearances — is another pointer to their dominance.
Wolves, under Vitor Pereira, staged a recovery last spring but endured a poor pre-season. With Matheus Cunha sold and Rayan Aït-Nouri joining City, their attacking firepower looks diminished. Wolves’ record in August is dire, with just one league win in their last 20 matches during that month. Even with new arrivals like Jhon Arias and Fer Lopez, this feels like a tough curtain-raiser. City should impose themselves and collect maximum points.
Best bet – Manchester City to Win to Nil
Bristol City vs Charlton Athletic
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Bristol City, fresh from a commanding 4-1 victory at Sheffield United on the opening day, look a side brimming with confidence under new boss Gerhard Struber. The Robins added to that with a midweek cup win, highlighting both depth and attacking fluency. Key man Scott Twine has hit the ground running, while Anis Mehmeti provides further creativity behind the forward line.
Charlton, meanwhile, are back in the Championship for the first time in five years, having edged through the play-offs. They also opened their league season positively, snatching a late winner against Watford, and followed up with an EFL Cup triumph. However, their recent away record is troubling, as they have taken just one win from their last nine league games on the road. Bristol City’s sharpness, plus Ashton Gate support, could make the difference in a contest where the Robins should have too much quality.
Best bet – Bristol City to Win
Leyton Orient vs Stockport County
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Leyton Orient’s start to life in League One has been inconsistent, with a heavy defeat to Huddersfield followed by a strong win over Wigan. However, their midweek EFL Cup exit at the hands of Wycombe showed the fragility still present in Richie Wellens’ squad. Their home record against Stockport offers some confidence, given they knocked them out in the play-offs last year, but recent injuries could limit their options.
Stockport, conversely, have started with purpose, winning all three of their competitive games this season. Dave Challinor’s team look organised and hungry, and revenge for last season’s play-off disappointment will be a key motivator. With Bolton, Wycombe, and Crewe already beaten, the Hatters have demonstrated they can grind out results both home and away. With Leyton Orient still lacking consistency, Stockport’s momentum and balance suggest they are well placed to extend their 100% record this weekend.
Best bet – Stockport County to Win
