Football betting previews with stats, odds & best bets for the most exciting matches to bet on this weekend. Everything you need to know.
Lecce vs AC Milan
AC Milan will be eager to bounce back after a disappointing opening-day loss as they head to face Lecce in round two of Serie A. New Lecce manager Eusebio Di Francesco began his tenure with a solid, if uninspiring, 0-0 draw away at Genoa, but concerns over their lack of cutting edge remain.
Milan, despite their stumble, enter this clash as favourites and will want to avoid starting a league campaign with back-to-back defeats for the first time since 2008/09. With five wins from their last six Friday Serie A fixtures (L1), history is on their side.
Best Bet: Milan to win & both teams to score.

Chelsea vs Fulham
After a frustrating goalless opener against Crystal Palace, Chelsea quickly found their stride with a convincing 5-1 victory at West Ham. Fulham, meanwhile, have shown resilience in the early weeks, coming from behind to secure 1-1 draws against both Brighton and Manchester United.
History heavily favours the Blues at Stamford Bridge, where they’ve lost just once in their last 25 league home games when starting as favourites (W18, D6).
Best Bet: Chelsea to win & over 2.5 goals

Manchester United vs Burnley
Manchester United are desperate for their first Premier League win of the season when newly-promoted Burnley visit Old Trafford. Despite showing promise in their performances against Arsenal and Fulham, the Red Devils remain winless after two league matches (D1, L1) and suffered further humiliation with a midweek EFL Cup exit at the hands of League Two side Grimsby.
Burnley, however, often find themselves in high-scoring contests on the road, with nine of their last 11 away games producing over 2.5 goals.
Best Bet: Over 3.5 goals in the match

Real Madrid vs Mallorca
Real Madrid look to continue their perfect La Liga start when they host struggling Mallorca on matchday three. Xabi Alonso’s side are yet to concede this season, following a narrow 1-0 win over Osasuna with a comfortable 3-0 triumph against Real Oviedo.
Confidence will be high at the Bernabéu, and with Madrid’s strong defensive form coupled with their dominant record against Mallorca, another clean-sheet victory looks likely.
Best Bet: Madrid to win to nil.

Liverpool vs Arsenal
The standout fixture of matchday three sees defending champions Liverpool take on last year’s runners-up Arsenal at Anfield. Both sides are unbeaten with two wins from two — Liverpool in thrilling fashion against Bournemouth and Newcastle, while Arsenal have impressed with controlled, clean-sheet victories over Manchester United and Leeds.
Liverpool’s knack for fast starts could prove decisive, having scored first in ten of their last 12 matches and leading at half-time in five of their last six.
Best Bet: Liverpool to win the half-time.

Borussia Dortmund vs Union Berlin
Borussia Dortmund will look to kickstart their Bundesliga campaign in front of their home crowd after drawing their opener. Niko Kovač’s men remain unbeaten in nine league outings (W7, D2), so momentum is still on their side. Union Berlin come into this match buoyed by a 2-1 win over Stuttgart and a fine run of just one defeat in their last 11 Bundesliga matches (W5, D5).
Still, Dortmund’s superior head-to-head record and attacking firepower make them strong favourites to deliver in style.
Best Bet: Dortmund to score 3+ goals.
