Real Madrid can recover from their UEFA Super Cup loss to city rivals Atletico by starting the new La Liga season with a win over Getafe at the Bernabeu.

Manchester United made a much brighter start to the new Premier League campaign than Brighton and are now fancied to avenge May's surprise loss at Amex Stadium. The Red Devils registered a solid success against Leicester in the opening round of fixtures, whereas Albion were well beaten at Watford. More...

Huddersfield played better than the bare result suggests when beaten by Chelsea in their Premier League opener and have past history of giving Manchester City a good test. The Terriers held out for a goalless draw at Etihad Stadium in May, having only gone down 2-1 to the Blues at home last November. More...

Watford can be inconsistent but our Trueform ratings suggest they have the ability to beat Burnley on their best Premier League form. The Hornets impressed when seeing off Newcastle late on last term and began the new season with a convincing victory over Brighton. More...

Rangers must travel to Kilmarnock for a tricky Scottish League Cup tie just three days after a demanding Europa League trip to Slovenia to face NK Maribor. There is also the fact that the Glasgow outfit have not won on their last three visits to Rugby Park, including a 2-1 Premiership defeat just before Christmas. More...

Chelsea enjoyed a better start to the Premier League season than Arsenal, but there is not much between these teams on our overall Trueform chart. It is also worth noting that they met five times in all competitions last term and the Gunners did not taste defeat in any of those head-to-head encounters. More...

Newcastle showed enough promise in their opening loss to Tottenham to suggest they can prove a cut above Premier League new boys Cardiff in Wales. City were soundly beaten at Bournemouth on their return to the top flight and are odds-on to go straight back down at the end of the season. More...

West Ham had to endure a chastening experience at Liverpool, but their overall Trueform chart puts them on a similar level to Bournemouth. These teams are also evenly matched on past head-to-head meetings, with two wins apiece and a couple of draws coming from their last six encounters. More...

Tottenham must play one more home game at Wembley before their new stadium is ready but can still brush aside Premier League new boys Fulham. The visitors celebrated their return to the top flight with a summer spending spree but were given a reality check when losing to Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage. More...

Leicester earned plenty of plaudits for their performance in defeat at Manchester United and may just be too strong for Wolves at King Power Stadium. Wanderers marked their Premier League return with an entertaining draw against Everton on home turf but this is a tricky first away fixture back in the top flight. More...

Everton and Southampton both picked up a point last week but the Merseyside outfit made a far more encouraging start to the new Premier League season. The Toffees overcame a contentious red card to draw 2-2 at Wolves in an entertaining encounter, while Saints were involved in a low-key goalless stalemate with Burnley. More...

Stoke have not adjusted well to life in the Championship and could still be vulnerable when visiting Preston on Saturday evening. North End are always difficult opponents at Deepdale and have already claimed league and EFL Cup victories on home turf this month. More...

Swansea have got off to a good start in their bid to bounce straight back up to the Premier League and can maintain the momentum with a third straight win at Birmingham.

The focus now is on which sides will boost their hopes of making the Grand Final at Old Trafford in late October and these selections are all hungry for success. More...

Celtic could still be feeling sorry for themselves after a disappointing Champions League exit when visiting Partick in the Scottish League Cup. Add on the fact that Thistle pushed the Hoops hard in two Premiership encounters at Firhill last season and the feeling is that we may get a tight tussle in this tie. More...

After picking out US PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka and Francesco Molinari (6th), the task is to keep the good run going with our Wyndham Championship betting tips. The first selection from the top of the market is Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who has hinted at a return to peak form. More...

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his Serie A debut for Juventus at Chievo on Saturday and all eyes will be on the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. Ronaldo took just eight minutes to hit the target in Sunday's 5-0 friendly win over his new club's B team, so the omens are good for his sensational switch to Italy to pay off. More...

Barcelona are expected to begin their La Liga title defence by brushing aside Alaves, but the visitors do not have a bad record at Camp Nou. Babazorros El Glorioso claimed a shock 2-1 win here a couple of years ago and have since been competitive in a 2-1 Copa del Rey defeat and a 3-1 league loss. More...

Sheffield Wednesday were convincing winners at the Stadium of Light in the Championship in April and can repeat the trick against Sunderland in Thursday's televised EFL Cup clash. The Owls have a similar squad this season, whereas the Black Cats have continued to cut costs since dropping down into League One. More...

Burnley are favourites to qualify from their Europa League tie with Istanbul Basaksehir after returning from Turkey on level terms but we fear the away goals rule could go against them. The Clarets set their stall out to stifle decent opponents and were up to the task, but now the onus is on them to be more positive. More...

Rangers have a golden chance of making the Europa League play-offs as they take a 3-1 lead to Slovenia for the second leg of their tie with NK Maribor. Steven Gerrard's side have already managed to grind out positive results at Shkupi and Osijek in this competition, securing a goalless draw and a 1-0 triumph. More...

Molde have been impressive at home this season and Hibs face a tough test when visiting Norway for Thursday's Europa League second-leg tie. Last week's goalless draw at Easter Road was not the worst result in the world for the Edinburgh outfit, but we still feel they are now up against it. More...

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both have excellent UEFA Super Cup records and are also hard to split on last season's La Liga form. Both meetings ended in stalemate, with November's goalless draw at Wanda Metropolitano followed by a 1-1 scoreline at the Bernabeu in April. More...

Celtic's bid to reach the Champions League group stage for a third straight season is set to right down to the wire when they visit AEK Athens.
