Lamontville Golden Arrows are facing Stellenbosch in the South African Premier League. Lamontville are a mid-table side, yet they finished above today's visitors last season. Stellenbosch, for their part, had two or three strong seasons that included appearances in African competitions, but they have since lost momentum. I’m predicting a dr

Champions League Qualifiers. The first leg between the two teams ended in a 2–2 draw; the hosts are definitely the favorites to win the match—they are the superior side, and I believe they will succeed in securing the victory. Prediction: Home win and AH -0.5.

A win or a draw for Levski Sofia—at attractive odds—and the "Blues" advance. AEK holds no advantage over Levski, so my favorites, Levski, will win. I was even tempted to bet on an away win at odds of over six-point-something.

Brøndby did not finish the last season well—a campaign that could even be described as unsatisfactory. However, they have made a promising start to the current season, securing ten points from the first four rounds. They began with a 1–1 draw away against the champions, Aarhus, but have since strung together three consecutive victories. In

Setting the stage for an open contest in Rome Fiorentina did not have a particularly memorable season last time out, but they have already kicked off the new campaign with a convincing victory over Benevento in the Coppa Italia. This will certainly boost the visitors' confidence, even though the challenge ahead is a formidable one. The pick

Kocaelispor began the season with a 0–2 away loss to Başakşehir. The visiting team—newly promoted to the top flight this season—started with a home win. Overall, the hosts are winless in 10 consecutive matches. In head-to-head encounters, the advantage lies with the visitors (1–0–3). I don't think Amed will lose this match; I'm goin

Last season, the hosts from Nice hit rock bottom, having to play a relegation play-off to stay in Ligue 1. Now, I expect them to kick off the new season with a win. Pick: 1.

The two teams face each other at the Stade Félix-Bollaert in Lens in the opening round of the new French Ligue 1 season. Lens traditionally performs exceptionally well in front of their home fans, whereas I expect Auxerre to employ a defensive style of play at this venue.

Brentford and Tottenham face off in an English Premier League match. Tottenham have learned from last season, and I expect a more successful campaign from them, starting with a victory against Brentford—an opponent they have traditionally found favorable.

It is highly unlikely that Sion will take down Ajax—a team of seasoned European veterans—so I expect a commanding, decisive victory for the visitors here. Look for over 2.5 goals in this match, and consider a solid bet on the away win for the vastly superior side.
