Manchester United vs Arsenal
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Old Trafford hosts the standout fixture of the Premier League’s opening weekend, as Manchester United begin life under Ruben Amorim against an Arsenal side with serious title ambitions. United endured a miserable domestic campaign last season, finishing adrift of the Champions League places, but pre-season has shown signs of stability. Five unbeaten warm-up games – including victories against Bournemouth and West Ham – suggest improvement, though defensive vulnerabilities remain. The acquisition of Benjamin Sesko is a major talking point, as his physicality adds a fresh dynamic to a forward line that already includes Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
Arsenal, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a polished Emirates Cup victory over Athletic Bilbao. Viktor Gyökeres, fresh from his summer arrival, made an instant impact with a goal and could trouble a United defence still missing Lisandro Martínez. The Gunners have scored in each of their last 11 Premier League visits to Old Trafford, and Mikel Arteta’s midfield trio of Rice, Ødegaard and Zubimendi looks particularly balanced. While United are historically strong on opening day, Arsenal’s sharper attacking rhythm and continuity in midfield point towards goals at both ends in this heavyweight clash.

Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
La Liga returns with Athletic Bilbao seeking to convert their Champions League qualification into sustained domestic momentum. Ernesto Valverde guided his side to fourth last term, built largely on home resilience at San Mamés, where Nico and Iñaki Williams remain the heartbeat of a vibrant forward line. Despite losing six of their seven pre-season matches, Bilbao’s attacking core remains intact, with Nico Williams committing his future to the club amidst Barcelona interest.
Sevilla, conversely, endured a disastrous 2024–25, finishing just one place above relegation. New manager Matías Almeyda arrives with a reputation for organisation and intensity, and pre-season results suggest improvement, with only one defeat from seven outings. Dodi Lukebakio is their biggest attacking outlet after scoring 11 goals last year, but questions remain about defensive solidity, with numerous players carrying fitness concerns ahead of the opener.
The contrast between Athletic’s home strength and Sevilla’s ongoing uncertainty is stark. San Mamés is rarely forgiving for visiting sides, and the Lions’ energy in front of their own supporters should be enough to secure a strong start to the campaign.
Best bet – Athletic Bilbao to win
Nantes vs Paris Saint-Germain
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
French champions PSG begin their title defence with a trip to a Nantes side who flirted with relegation last season. Luis Enrique’s men may have looked rusty against Tottenham in the Super Cup, but their late rally and eventual penalty success reinforced their depth of quality. Kylian Mbappé is no longer the focal point, yet the addition of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gives them another high-calibre match-winner. Lucas Chevalier, recruited from Lille, is set to continue in goal with Gianluigi Donnarumma on his way out.
Nantes are historically poor starters, failing to win their opening Ligue 1 fixture in the past eight seasons. Last year’s meetings with PSG both ended in draws, but that feels an outlier rather than a trend. Their defensive record at home is concerning, having conceded in 29 consecutive home fixtures against the champions. New coach Luís Castro will want to spark a turnaround, but his side lack the consistency or firepower to contain PSG’s array of attacking options.
Given PSG’s formidable away record – just one defeat in 41 league trips – this should be a professional, dominant start for the visitors.
Best bet – PSG to win and over 2.5 goals
Sporting Lisbon vs Arouca
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Sporting Lisbon launched their title defence with a composed 2-0 away win at Casa Pia, easing initial fears over how they might cope without Viktor Gyökeres. In his absence, Pedro Gonçalves and Paulinho will be relied upon more heavily in the final third, supported by the creativity of Francisco Trincão. Ruben Amorim’s side are defensively stable too, having conceded just 29 league goals last season, and their record at Estádio José Alvalade is formidable.
Visitors Arouca also began positively, defeating AVS 3-1, with Alfonso Trezza the standout performer. However, their away form last season was erratic, losing nearly half of their matches on the road. While Vasco Seabra’s men are tactically disciplined, they often struggle to maintain intensity against the top three, and Sporting’s midfield duo of Morita and Hjulmand should control proceedings.
Arouca did snatch a draw in Lisbon last season, but replicating that result looks unlikely given Sporting’s depth and home momentum. The champions should have too much quality.
Best bet – Sporting Lisbon to win to nil
