Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace faces a challenging phase as their creative key player Eberechi Eze moves to FC Arsenal. The defense could also be weakened with the possible departure of Marc Guehi. Although they made their debut in the UEFA Conference League with a narrow 1-0 victory against Fredrikstad, the match was marked by limited squad rotation and a lack of a suitable alternative for Eze. The start of the season, with winning the Community Shield against Liverpool and a goalless draw against Chelsea, showed great potential, but the loss of important players significantly clouds the outlook.

Nottingham Forest
After a disappointing preseason with many draws and only one goal against Brentford, Nottingham Forest managed a breakthrough. The team successfully relies on a classic British tactic with crosses and long balls, with Chris Wood playing a central role as the main goal scorer. So far, the team has a solid away record with only six defeats in 19 games and is traditionally an uncomfortable opponent for Crystal Palace.

Injuries
Crystal Palace must do without Riad, Doucouré, Nketiah, Franca, Kpogha, and Kamada, all injured. Nottingham Forest is only missing Dominguez due to injury.

Head-to-head
Since 2022, the two teams have faced each other six times without Crystal Palace managing a victory. Nottingham Forest won twice, while four games ended in draws. Noteworthy is the low number of goals scored, as none of these matches had more than two goals.

Match forecast
Despite better form, Crystal Palace seems less fresh due to the stresses and the loss of their playmaker. Nottingham Forest’s defensive stability and the tough nature of the opponent suggest a match without clear dominance from the home team. History shows that these games are usually close and low-scoring. Therefore, betting on the double chance for Crystal Palace appears very attractive and sensible, as they want to increase their chances at home and Nottingham Forest always remains a tough opponent.

My tip: Double chance Crystal Palace (1.30)

Fulham
Fulham zeigte in der Sommervorbereitung starke Leistungen, unter anderem Siege gegen Nottingham und Eintracht Frankfurt. Der Saisonstart war durchwachsen, mit einem späten Punktgewinn gegen Brighton (1:1). Das Team um Trainer Marku Silva besticht durch Stabilität und Kampfgeist, auch wenn die Defensive noch verbessert werden muss. Kaderbewegungen waren minimal, was für Kontinuität spricht.

Manchester United
Manchester United präsentierte sich im ersten Spiel der Saison mutig und offensivstark, konnte aber trotz zahlreicher Chancen gegen Arsenal kein Tor erzielen. Die Defensive bleibt ein Sorgenkind, da mehrere Verteidiger verletzungsbedingt ausfallen. Das neue Angriffs-Trio um Mbemo, Cunha und Scheschko bringt jedoch frischen Wind und Offensivqualitäten.

Verletzungen
Bei Fulham fällt Robinson verletzt aus, Sessègnon steht auf der Kippe. Manchester United muss auf L. Martínez und Mazaraui verzichten, Onana ist fraglich.

Direkte Begegnungen
Fulham tut sich traditionell schwer gegen Manchester United, mit sechs Niederlagen in acht direkten Duellen. Fulham erzielt selten mehr als ein Tor gegen die Red Devils.

Prognose für das Spiel
Die Teams zeigten zuletzt Schwächen in der Defensive, was eigentlich auf ein torreiches Spiel hindeuten könnte. Dennoch spricht vieles für eine kontrollierte Begegnung mit eher wenigen Toren. Manchester United wird versuchen, die Defensive zu schonen und Chancen effizient zu nutzen. Fulham wird kämpferisch dagegenhalten, jedoch nicht übermäßig viele Treffer erzielen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist ein Spiel mit weniger als 3,5 Toren wahrscheinlich.

Mein Tipp: Unter 3,5 Tore (1.40)

Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo lost in the first round of the season against Villarreal with 0-2. The team shows commitment in attack but has significant weaknesses in defense, especially regarding speed and positioning. New signing Josip Brekalo could provide stability but is not yet eligible to play. Hassan and Chaira are the most important offensive players, while the experienced Rondón plays a key role, especially on set pieces. Overall, Oviedo is a newly promoted team still struggling to assert itself in the Primera División and is likely to fight to avoid relegation.

Real Madrid
Real Madrid started the season under coach Xabi Alonso with a narrow 1-0 win against Osasuna. The team mainly controlled the game but still showed weaknesses in creative playmaking. Particularly Carreras on the left defense showed a lot of activity, while Trent was rather inconspicuous. The offensive line with Mbappé, Vinícius, and Díaz shows great potential, and Real stands for high pressure and a playing focus on the wings. Despite some absences, they have the physical and tactical advantage.

Injuries
Real Oviedo is missing Lemos and Seoane due to injury, Lucas and Colombatto are doubtful, and Reina is suspended. Real Madrid cannot rely on Bellingham and Endrick due to injuries, as well as Mendy and Camavinga (both doubtful).

Head-to-Head
Direct encounters between Real Oviedo and Real Madrid are rare since Oviedo only recently returned to Spain's top league. Real Madrid has shown strong performances and clear dominance in recent matches, highlighting a significant quality gap.

Match Prediction
Real Madrid is the clear favorite, benefiting from individual quality and better form. Oviedo has major defensive weaknesses and will likely struggle to withstand Madrid’s offensive power. Mbappé, Vinícius, and Díaz will create numerous chances. Therefore, we recommend betting on a Real Madrid win at odds of 1.30 as a safe choice.

My Tip: Real Madrid win (1.30)

Como
Como finished last Serie A season in the top ten and now ambitiously aims for European competitions. The team strengthened its offense significantly over the summer with new signings, including Jesus Rodriguez, Martin Baturina, Nicolas Kühn, and Jayden Addai. An important success was also the contract extension with coach Cesc Fàbregas, who preserved the offensive playing style. Despite a heavy defeat against Barcelona in a friendly, Como showed strong preparation with wins against Lille, Al-Ahli, Ajax, and Betis. The start of the current season succeeded with a confident 3-1 win in the cup match.

Lazio
Lazio is currently in a phase of unrest, both sportingly and financially. After the disappointing end of the season without European qualification and the coaching change back to Maurizio Sarri, the team lacks urgently needed reinforcements due to a transfer ban. The preparation was mixed, with only six goals in five friendlies. Especially the form of forward Taty Castellanos is worrying, as he recently failed to score and even received a red card.

Injuries
Como has to do without Nicolas Kühn and Dossena (both injured). Lazio are missing Isaksen, Patrick, Vecino, and Djigo (all injured) as well as Romagnoli (suspended).

Head-to-head
Lazio has remained unbeaten against Como in the recent duels of the 21st century and won all four encounters. Nevertheless, Como showed a strongly improved form at the end of the season and almost took points from Lazio in the return leg.

Match Prediction
Como impresses with an offensive, dynamic style of play and is very strong at home with seven wins out of eight matches. Another home win seems realistic, although Lazio should not be underestimated with the experience of Maurizio Sarri and the existing squad. The quality and depth of the Como squad have been significantly upgraded. Due to the home strength and the renewed spirit in Como, we recommend the safe option: the double chance on Como to minimize risk. The odds of 1.35 also offer good value for this bet.

My tip: Double chance Como (1.35)
