Expect an electrifying showdown at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza when Inter and Milan lock horns in the Derby della Madonnina. The Nerazzurri did not begin their title defence in style, with the team already dropping four points in the new Serie A campaign, but the bookies still see them as favourites to win Sunday’s derby. Wing-back Denzel Dumfries should be recalled to the starting XI following his fine performance in a 1-1 draw with Monza, while Federico Dimarco is a major doubt. 

The Rossoneri, on the other hand, rolled over Venezia 4-0 to record their first win of the season, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the local derby. As Inter are on a six-game winning run in meetings with AC Milan, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on the home side. The likes of Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi, Malick Thiaw, and Marco Sportiello are injured for the away team.

Score Prediction: Inter Milan 2-1 Ac Milan

All eyes will be on Estadio de la Ceramica when Villarreal and Barcelona square off against each other in a highly-anticipated La Liga game. The Yellow Submarine aim to build on a 2-1 win over Mallorca and they are surely capable of matching the Catalan giants in front of home fans. Pape Gueye is back from suspension, while all Gerard Moreno, Juan Foyth, Alfonso Pedraza, and Willy Kambwala are out of contention with injuries. 

Barca, on the other hand, made a flying start to the season and, no doubt, they aim to keep their 100% record intact. As Hansi Flick’s men are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting at the venue Barcelona defeated Villarreal 5-3 in a thriller. Ferran Torres is banned for the visitors, while all Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Frenkie De Jong, Gavi, and Andreas Christensen remain in the recovery room.

Score Prediction: Villarreal 2-2 Barcelona

High-flying Manchester City will look to extend their winning run to six games in all competitions when they take on Arsenal in the Premier League derby on Sunday. The Citizens made a flying start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to defend their trophy. A man to watch in the home team will be Premier League top scorer Erling Haaland, who scored a brace against the Bees, while both Josko Guardiol and Rodri should be recalled to the starting XI. Both Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb remain in the recovery room. 

The Gunners, on the other hand, did well to win the North London derby, with defender Gabriel sealing the triumph midway through the second half. Anyhow, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as Mikel Arteta’s men are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in Sunday’s derby. Influential midfielder Bukayo Saka should be fit for the match, while both Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard are major doubts. Midfielder Declan Rice is back from suspension.

Predictions On Manchester City Vs Arsenal

Manchester City to win
Both team to score

Selhurst Park will be packed when Crystal Palace and Manchester United go head to head in a highly-anticipated Premier League game on Saturday afternoon. The Eagles are still eyeing their first league win of the season. Therefore, we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Red Devils. Fit-again midfielder Will Hughes is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while all Trevoh Chalobah, Chadi Riad, and Matheus Franca continue to miss out with injuries. 

The Red Devils, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Southampton. As Erik ten Hag’s troops showed signs of improvement up front at the weekend, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in Selhurst Park showdown. Lisandro Martinez is fit for the visiting side, while all Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Rasmus Hojlund, and Tyrelle Malacia remain in the recovery room.

Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-2 Manchester United

Following a shocking 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, Liverpool will look to get back on course in the Premier League when they face Bournemouth in yet another home fixture. The Reds failed to impress in the defeat to Forest, but they are still seen as hot favourites to beat Bournemouth at their Anfield. Both Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while talented midfielder Harvey Elliott has yet to overcome a foot injury. 

The Cherries, on the other hand, were on the verge of sharing the spoils with Chelsea when Christian Nkunku scored a late winner for the Blues. As Bournemouth players should be low on confidence in Saturday’s clash, we do not believe that Arne Slot’s troops will have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the national championship. In their last meeting at Anfield Liverpool recorded a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, who will be without Dango Ouattara and Tyler Adams in the round 5 showdown.

Score Prediction: Liverpool 3 – 1 Bournemouth

Tottenham will try to recover from a heart-breaking loss to their local rivals Arsenal when they take on Brentford in yet another London derby. As Spurs had their chances to find the net in the North London derby, they are surely capable of beating the Bees in front of home fans. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Yves Bissouma has overcome his injury, but striker Richarlison remains in the recovery room. 

Meanwhile, Brentford failed to spoil Man City’s party at Etihad Stadium. Considering that important attacker Yoane Wissa suffered an ankle injury at the weekend, home win should be considered. Kevin Schade is widely expected to replace the DR Congo international in the starting XI. Summer signing Igor Thiago remains in Brentford’s recovery room, alongside Gustavo Nunes, Mathias Jensen, Aaron Hickey, Joshua Da Silva, and Rico Henry. In their last meeting at the venue Tottenham defeated Brentford 3-2.

Score Prediction: Tottenham 2 – 1 Brentford

Weserstadion will be the centre of attention when Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich lock horns in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga game. Die Werderaner aim to build on a 2-1 win over Mainz, but they will have a mountain to climb against the high-flying Bavarians. Defender Marco Friedl is banned for the match, while Justin Njinmah has joined Oliver Burke and Milos Veljkovic in the recovery room. 

The Bavarians, on the other hand, are determined to regain the trophy and given their excellent performance in a 6-1 crushing of Holstein Kiel, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of grabbing something from the match. You should know that Bayern Munich have defeated Werder Bremen in each and every meeting between the two sides at Weserstadion since January 2010. The opposition back-line should have Harry Kane at bay as the former Tottenham forward scored a hat-trick at the weekend. Vincent Kompany has no fresh injury worries ahead of the trip to Bremen.

Score Prediction: Werder Bremen 2 – 4 Bayern Munchen

There will be fireworks when West Ham United and Chelsea square off against each other in the London derby on Saturday. The Hammers showed character in a 1-1 draw with Fulham, with substitute Danny Ings scoring a late equalizer and, no doubt, that goal gave them a confidence boost. Lucas Paqueta is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Emerson should recover in time to face the Blues. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug is a major doubt. 

Enzo Maresca’s men, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bournemouth. Given Chelsea’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Christopher Nkunku should be recalled to the starting eleven after scoring a late winner at Vitality Stadium, while all Malo Gusto, Reece James, and Romeo Lavia remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Score Prediction: West Ham 2 – 2 Chelsea

Atalanta and Arsenal take on each other at Gewiss Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. The Orobici aim to build on a hard-fought 3-2 win over Fiorentina and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach in their Champions League opener. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former Premier League ace Ademola Lookman, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while both Gianluca Scamacca and Giorgio Scalvini are sidelined with injuries. 

The Gunners, on the other hand, did well to beat Tottenham in the North London derby, with defender Gabriel scoring the only goal of the match. As Mikel Arteta can count on key attackers for Thursday’s showdown, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Declan Rice is back from the Premier League ban, while the likes of Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odeegard, Mikel Merino, and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain in the recovery room. Summer signing Ricardo Calafiori is a major doubt.

Score Prediction: Atalanta 1 – 1 Arsenal
