Santa Coloma won 2-1 in their away game in the reverse competition, and today they will host this match with confidence to defend that goal. So, I expect them to get a win.

For the last 11 home matches, Spaeri has not lost a single one. Despite playing in a different stadium, Spaeri still offers a potential value on a win, after now going 2 matches with 2-0 scorelines. Austria Vienna won by 2-0, so Spaeri will be seeking to level up the deficit. So, I risk a bet on Spaeri.

Ilves won the 1st leg 4-3, a match that was very intense. AZ Alkmaar still went on to lose a game to Olympiakos. Ilves have had a whole week preparing for this 2nd leg, as a 1 goal lead is very risky. On this match, Ilves will have a very fresh squad. I bet a win for Ilves, who are currently at the top of their league.

Fredericia lost their 1st home game 3-2, while Copenhagen won their away opener on the same score. Fredericia has found a consistent 2-goal-per-game strategy so far, and welcomes Copenhagen after an away 2-0 win over Silkeborg. I wager a win for them as they host Copenhagen.

Septemvri Sofia's last away match was a very big humiliation, losing 5-0 to Ludogorets. In their last outing, they were also unlucky, scoring first and later losing the match 2-1 to Levski. Their third match is against CSKA 1948, who have scored 2 goals in the 2 matches. Their attack is no guarantee, so Septemvri can utilize this chance to record their first win of the season. I wager a win for Septemvri Sofia on this one.

Wimbledon has not had a good time in the preparations for the new season, so they might be a bit shaky as they visit Luton, who have enjoyed some good times. Luton have improved since the club friendlies came through, so hopes are very high. So, an open match, at least 3 goals, looks good on this match.

Peterborough have utilized their preseason very well, a few big wins i.e. 8-1, 6-0. Cardiff seem still to be seeking the rhythm, and here, the chances are very high they will struggle against Peterborough. I wager a win for the guests. Their form is incredible in the club friendlies.

Stevenage finished their preseason with a 40% win rate in 5 games. Blackpool went unbeaten in 4 games, with a 50% win rate. Hosting this match will be a big boost for Blackpool. I can consider a home win, given that they have won 2 of the 3 games they have hosted Stevenage previously (2W, 1D).

Exeter managed to play 4 friendlies, with a 75% winning rate. Doncaster played 6 and won 4, which is a 66.67% win rate. I believe there is very little margin apart, but I will consider a win for Exeter. They have previously won 2 of the last 3 encounters against Doncaster.

Rangers ended last season with 4 consecutive away games without a win. Now, they face Motherwell, who are currently unbeaten in their last 6 matches (4 wins, 2 draws). Playing at home for the start of their campaign, supported by their dedicated fanbase, I believe Motherwell has a strong chance of securing all 3 points against Rangers.

Ludogorets is just coming from a UEFA match against Rijeka. The fatigue will catch up with this squad. Dobrudzha has had at least more days of rest, but not much on their current form after losing the opening 2 games. So in today's match, I would rather consider them on very risky terms.

Randers have not lost the 2 games so far, winning 2-1 over Aarhus and drawing 1-1 against Vejle. Silkeborg has lost both matches, conceding 5 goals. I believe it's a big boost for the hosts. Randers will get the 3 points as part of a revenge mission over Silkeborg, who have beaten them home and away last season.

Falkirk is coming off the League Cup in very fine form. Notice how they have been offensive, including a 7-0 win and a 4-0 win, and other good results.. Dundee United will not be lucky here, having struggled to score in most of their poor results in the friendlies. They could score 1 goal in most of them. I wager a home win for Falkirk.

Birmingham is newly promoted to the Championship, having finished League One with 111 points. Ipswich was relegated from the Premier League. I expect Birmingham to shine in their first home match, and I hope they can dominate over Ipswich, who lost their striker, Liam Delap, to Chelsea.

Blackburn Rovers missed the promotion playoffs by only 2 points and also finished 2 points above West Brom. Blackburn has the chance to extend their unbeaten streak in the Championship when they open up against West Brom, having finished on a 6-game unbeaten streak. I wager a win for Blackburn.

Crystal Palace hasn't forgotten the Wembley feeling when they beat Man City 1-0 in the FA Cup final to clinch and write history after a long time without a trophy. Now they have been granted another chance against the England champions 2024/2025. More chance on the Eagles to lift this trophy. Liverpool still have work to do, incorporating the new signings into the system, and most likely they will feature in this match. I risk on a win for Palace.

Brighton have been busy in the transfer market, and consequently, they have lost Joao Pedro to Chelsea. They also lost Evan Ferguson to AS Roma. I think Fulham still remain intact. Nketiah, Smith Rowe, and a few others are still in place. I believe Fulham will dominate here. Note, Fulham has won 4 of the last 8 league matches, losing 1 to Brighton (4W, 3D, 1L), and that was last season in the 2nd leg. A win for Fulham.

Amorim and Arteta are going to have a much longer rivalry in the Premier League. This is the first full season Amorim will have at Man Utd. So, with Man Utd having no European football, they should have all reasons to perform well, and this kicks off at Old Trafford. Arsenal is a good side, having just signed Gyokeres, a former player Amorim has managed at Sporting CP. A home advantage will be key here. A win for Man Utd.
