Last Week’s Results

|---|---|
| Main | 25/34 won |
| Value | 25/34 won |
| Bet Builder | 17/34 won |
| Correct Score | 5/34 won |
Win Percentage: 52.9% | ROI: +15.4%
A strong week overall, with 25 of 34 main tips landing and a positive ROI of +15.4%. The highlight was five correct scores nailed exactly, but the week also delivered two big setbacks: Celtic led 4-0 on aggregate but completely collapsed, losing 5-1 (5-4 on aggregate) to LASK, and AIK beat heavily-favoured Hammarby 3-2 in the Stockholm derby.

Results 21-31 August (the full transition period)
| Tip Type | Record |
|---|---|
| Main | 31/44 won |
| Value | 31/44 won |
| Bet Builder | 22/44 won |
| Correct Score | 6/44 won |
Win Percentage: 51.1%
Combining Gameweek 1 with the new multi-league format’s first week brings the overall win percentage to 51.1%.
This Week’s Accumulator: The Result
All five legs of last week’s accumulator won: Monaco won (Ligue 1), Atlético Madrid won (La Liga), Elfsborg won (Allsvenskan), Leipzig won (Bundesliga), and PSV won (Eredivisie). A perfect 5/5 record delivered the full combined odds of roughly 18/1 – a £10 stake would have returned around £190.
How Did Our Highlight Match Go?
Aston Villa v Arsenal: the main tip landed. Arsenal won 1-0 through a Bukayo Saka goal, exactly as backed. Read the full tip here.
This Week’s Accumulator
Five selections from this week’s matches, one from five different leagues, for anyone looking to combine multiple favourites into a bigger overall price.
- PSG to win (Ligue 1) @ 4/9
- Real Madrid to win (La Liga) @ 8/15
- Liverpool to win (Premier League) @ 4/6
- Malmö FF to win (Allsvenskan) @ 8/11
- Midtjylland to win (Danish Superliga) @ 1/1
Combined odds: roughly 12/1
A £10 stake would return around £130 including the stake. A single losing leg, though, means the whole accumulator is lost.

Monday 7 September
Allsvenskan: Malmö FF v AIK
Eleda Stadion, Malmö | Monday 7 September, 18:00 BST
Market Probability: Malmö FF 53% | Draw 24% | AIK 24%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Malmö FF to win | 8/11 | 3/5 |
| Value | Both teams to score – Yes | 8/15 | 4/5 |
| Bet Builder | Malmö FF to win + BTTS Yes | 39/20 | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Malmö FF 2-1 AIK | 13/2 | 2/5 |
Malmö FF are favourites at home but not by a wide margin, and arrive on three wins from their last five across all competitions, including last night’s away win at Sirius. AIK are just as much in form, having beaten heavily-favoured Hammarby 3-2 in the Stockholm derby in front of 47,374 fans.
Danish Superliga: Midtjylland v Nordsjælland
MCH Arena, Herning | Monday 7 September, 18:00 BST
Market Probability: Midtjylland 46% | Draw 26% | Nordsjælland 28%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Both teams to score | 1/2 | 3/5 |
| Value | Midtjylland to win | 1/1 | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | Midtjylland to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Midtjylland 2-1 Nordsjælland | – | 2/5 |
An evenly-matched clash between two of the Superliga’s form teams of recent weeks. Midtjylland are slight favourites at home, but with only four percentage points between a home and away win in the market probability, this is far from a foregone conclusion. Both Teams To Score at 1/2 is the clearest signal in the whole match.
Allsvenskan: Mjällby v IFK Göteborg
Strandvallen, Sölvesborg | Monday 7 September, 18:00 BST
Market Probability: Mjällby 47% | Draw 25% | IFK Göteborg 28%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Mjällby to win | 19/20 | 3/5 |
| Value | Both teams to score | 8/13 | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | Mjällby to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Mjällby 2-1 IFK Göteborg | – | 2/5 |
Mjällby are favourites at home but not by a wide margin, and the goals market points toward an open game rather than a tight, low-scoring affair.
Serie A: Udinese v Lazio
Bluenergy Stadium, Udine | Monday 7 September, 19:45 BST
Market Probability: Udinese 34% | Draw 31% | Lazio 34%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Under 2.5 goals | 8/13 | 3/5 |
| Value | Lazio to win | 15/8 | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | Under 2.5 goals + Lazio double chance | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Udinese 0-1 Lazio | – | 2/5 |
A genuinely even match to close out the round, with the market barely able to separate the three outcomes. Under 2.5 goals at 8/13 is the clearest signal, pointing to a tight, tactical finish to the week rather than a goal-fest.
Sunday 6 September
Serie A: Juventus v Milan
Allianz Stadium, Turin | Sunday 6 September, 19:45 BST
Market Probability: Juventus 45% | Draw 28% | Milan 26%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Juventus to win | 11/10 | 3/5 |
| Value | Over 2.5 goals | 5/6 | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | Juventus to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Juventus 2-1 Milan | – | 2/5 |
One of this week’s big Italian clashes, with Juventus favourites at home but not overwhelmingly so. Both Teams To Score is priced the same for Yes and No (10/11), showing just how open the market sees this one goals-wise.
Allsvenskan: Örgryte v Hammarby
Gamla Ullevi, Gothenburg | Sunday 6 September, 13:00 BST
Market Probability: Örgryte 10% | Draw 15% | Hammarby 75%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Hammarby to win | 1/4 | 4/5 |
| Value | Over 2.5 goals | 4/11 | 4/5 |
| Bet Builder | Hammarby to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Örgryte 1-3 Hammarby | – | 3/5 |
Hammarby are overwhelming favourites away from home on the back of a strong run of results. Worth noting for anyone wanting a different risk-reward angle: Over 3.5 goals pays 9/10, a considerably better price than the heavily-backed 2.5 line at 4/11.
Liga Portugal: Marítimo v Benfica
Estádio dos Barreiros, Funchal | Saturday 5 September, 18:00 BST
Market Probability: Marítimo 10% | Draw 17% | Benfica 73%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Benfica to win | 1/4 | 4/5 |
| Value | Over 2.5 goals | 3/5 | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | Benfica to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Marítimo 0-3 Benfica | – | 3/5 |
Benfica travel to Madeira as heavy favourites against a Marítimo side that has historically struggled at home against the league’s bigger sides.

| Bet Builder | Under 2.5 goals + BTTS Yes | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Nottingham Forest 1-1 Tottenham | – | 3/5 |
A genuinely open match with the market unable to separate home and away. Both Under 2.5 goals and Both Teams To Score are priced identically, a clear pointer toward a tight game with goals at both ends rather than a one-sided scoreline.
Serie A: Inter v Napoli
San Siro, Milan | Saturday 5 September, 17:00 BST
Market Probability: Inter 53% | Draw 27% | Napoli 20%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Inter to win | 4/5 | 4/5 |
| Value | Inter to win to nil | – | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | Inter to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Inter 3-0 Napoli | – | 2/5 |
One of this week’s big Italian clashes between the reigning champions and last season’s runners-up. Both Teams To Score – No is priced shorter than Yes (8/11 against 10/11), suggesting the market expects an Inter-controlled match rather than an open goal-fest despite the healthy Over 2.5 price.

| Correct Score | Schalke 1-4 Bayern | – | 3/5 |
Newly-promoted Schalke host the reigning double champions in what looks like a tough afternoon for the home side. The goals market is one of the strongest of the week, with Over 2.5 down at 1/3.
Eredivisie: Ajax v PSV
Johan Cruijff ArenA, Amsterdam | Saturday 5 September, 19:00 BST
Market Probability: Ajax 37% | Draw 24% | PSV 39%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | Over 2.5 goals | 4/11 | 4/5 |
| Value | PSV to win | 13/10 | 3/5 |
| Bet Builder | PSV to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Ajax 2-2 PSV | – | 2/5 |
The first big Dutch clash of the season is close in the 1X2 market, but the goals market is far clearer: Over 2.5 at 4/11 and Both Teams To Score at 1/3 both point toward a genuinely high-scoring affair.
Serie A: Roma v Atalanta
Stadio Olimpico, Rome | Saturday 5 September, 19:45 BST
Market Probability: Roma 49% | Draw 27% | Atalanta 23%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |

| Bet Builder | Roma to win + Over 2.5 goals | – | 3/5 |
| Correct Score | Roma 2-1 Atalanta | – | 2/5 |
Roma are favourites at home at the Olimpico against an Atalanta side that has historically made life difficult for the league’s bigger clubs. The goals market points toward an open game.
Allsvenskan: GAIS v Häcken
Gamla Ullevi, Gothenburg | Saturday 5 September, 14:00 BST
Market Probability: GAIS 42% | Draw 26% | Häcken 33%
| Tip | Market | Odds | Confidence |

| Correct Score | GAIS 2-1 Häcken | – | 2/5 |
A Gothenburg derby with GAIS holding a slight edge at home. Both Teams To Score at 4/9 is one of the clearest goals signals of the week.
