Brighton
Brighton displays an offensive and attractive style of football this season under coach Fabian Hürzeler but still struggles with chance conversion and defensive stability. After a disappointing start to the season with only one point from the first matches, results have been lacking despite sometimes good play. Especially at their home stadium, the Amex Stadium, Brighton managed to defeat Manchester City last season, which should give the hosts confidence.

Manchester City
Manchester City is undergoing a transition under Pep Guardiola with a younger squad. Despite some setbacks, such as the surprising 0-2 defeat against Tottenham, City aims for revenge. The team is still searching for stability and the optimal formation. Star players like Erling Haaland are expected to provide the necessary goals, although the defense occasionally shows weaknesses.

Injuries
Brighton will miss Enric Mèndez, Webster, and March due to injuries, while Rutter is doubtful. Manchester City will be without Kovacic, Guardiola, Savinho, Bettinelli, and Phillips; Ait-Nouri is doubtful.

Head-to-Head
In recent encounters between Brighton and Manchester City, many goals were usually scored, often at least three per match. Brighton recently managed to beat Manchester City 2-1 at home. City, however, mostly succeeded in scoring at least two goals.

Match Prognosis
Considering the current form of both teams, I expect an exciting match. Despite recent changes, Manchester City still has the quality and experience to dominate, while Brighton remains a dangerous opponent at home. Both sides should create chances, making goals for both teams highly likely.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.50)

Liverpool
At the start of the season, Liverpool shows fighting spirit and salvages points in the final minutes, but does not always convince in terms of quality of play. The defense raises concerns, as at least two goals are conceded regularly in the first three games, despite strong individual performances and committed efforts from the substitutes.

Arsenal
Arsenal started solidly with important victories against Manchester United and Leeds. The team is offensively dangerous and mostly stable defensively, although away games at Anfield Stadium traditionally represent a big challenge. Additionally, some injury concerns weigh on the team.

Injuries
Liverpool definitely have Frimpong (injury) out, McAllister is doubtful. Arsenal has to compensate for several absences: Jesus, Havertz, Nergor and Saka are injured, White and Ødegaard are still doubtful.

Head-to-head
The record between the two teams at Anfield clearly favors Liverpool: in the last 15 encounters, Liverpool won seven times and both teams shared points eight times. Arsenal has not won at Anfield since 2012, which once again makes the away task very difficult.

Match prediction
Although Liverpool provides goals in the attack, the previous games also show a vulnerable defense. Arsenal, despite some obvious problems, will try to play concentrated and pragmatic. Due to the tactical approach of both teams and the important significance of the game, a rather cautious tempo is to be expected, which will not necessarily allow many goals. Accordingly, betting on under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.45 is a very sensible choice for this duel.

My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.45)

VfL Wolfsburg
VfL Wolfsburg showed a very attacking style in the early matches of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season. Especially the substitutions with strong bench players have already led to important goals, which shows that coach Paul Simonis is giving his players more freedom in offense. However, the team has not yet played in its strongest formation, as key players like Jonas Wind and Mohamed Amoura are only gradually reaching their form. The defense could still change as more players return from the injury list.

1. FSV Mainz 05
Mainz 05 faces a challenging season as the team is active on three fronts – Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and Conference League. After a tough start with some defeats, the mood remains positive since qualification for the Conference League group stage has been achieved. The team usually plays very defensively and predictably against deep-lying teams but has weakened defensive resources due to the absence of Paul Nebel and other injuries. The intense schedule might not be an advantage, as there is little recovery time between matches.

Injuries
Wolfsburg has to do without players like Vavro, Rogerio, Paredes, and Lindström due to injuries; Mehles's participation is uncertain. Mainz is missing Nebel (suspension), Dahl, Gleiber, and Hollerbach due to injuries.

Direct Encounters
In the past season, Mainz was unable to win any of the direct matches against Wolfsburg (1 draw, 1 loss). Mainz must compete without several important offensive players who were involved in goals last season. The duels were usually high-scoring and exciting.

Match Prediction
The duel promises to be a rather controlled game despite the offensive freedoms for VfL Wolfsburg. Mainz will not be able to act too offensively due to the three competitions and injury concerns. Additionally, a more disciplined refereeing is expected, which could influence the tempo and offensive actions. The recent encounters often ended with multiple goals, but this match will likely be somewhat more subdued due to the circumstances and the defensive setup of both teams. Therefore, we recommend the bet Under 3.5 Goals with odds of 1.40.

My Tip: Under 3.5 Goals (1.40)

Cologne
Cologne started the season with a surprising victory against Mainz, the first success for a newly promoted team since 2017. The team is still in the adjustment phase but showed a fighting spirit, especially in the second half after an opponent was sent off. Coach Lucas Kwasnek relies on a significantly renewed squad that has good chances to assert itself against teams in the lower third of the table. However, the pressure of playing at home and Cologne’s still missing cohesion could be a challenge.

Freiburg
Freiburg lost in the first round despite dominance in Expected Goals against Augsburg with 1-3. Julian Schuster’s team showed a sharp offense but had weaknesses in chance conversion. With new players like Eren Dinkçi, who is set to follow Ritsu Doan, there is hope for a better attack. The defense will see no major changes, which may bring slight uncertainties in their play.

Injuries
Cologne must do without Kilian (injury). Freiburg has multiple absences: Rosenfelder, Troy, Kjere, and Matanovic are all unavailable due to injury; Osterhage and Beste are doubtful.

Head-to-Head
Direct encounters between Cologne and Freiburg have been balanced in the past, with both teams usually playing cautiously. In official matches, they have rarely scored more than three goals combined, indicating a rather controlled style of play.

Game Forecast
The analysis suggests that Freiburg will not leave the game without points despite the poor chance conversion in the first match. Cologne does not yet feel fully at home in the Bundesliga and could act nervously in front of their home crowd. Freiburg’s more cohesive squad and motivation to score after the unlucky first result are significant factors. The bet on “Double Chance Cologne” offers an attractive risk-return ratio with odds of 1.40, since Cologne can remain defensively stable and secure at least one point.

My Tip: Double Chance Cologne (1.40)

Where: Serie A

Genoa
Genoa started the 2025/26 season with a defensively focused style of play under coach Patrick Vieira. Without the loaned center forward Andrea Pinamonti, the offense looked weak in the first game against Lecce and created hardly any dangerous chances. Despite the lack of offensive firepower, the "Rossoblù" showed strong defensive performances, not conceding any goals in their first two home games. The clear defensive orientation is also expected in the upcoming match against Juventus.

Juventus
Juventus started solidly in the new season with a 2-0 home win, where the defense was particularly convincing. The return of key central defender Gleison Bremer significantly strengthens the defense. Although the team does not yet play spectacular football, thanks to individual quality and tactical skill, they manage to break down even deep-lying opponents. Against Genoa, Juventus will again try to control and dominate the game.

Injuries
Genoa has to do without Otoà (injured). Juventus are missing Milik, Miretti, Cabal, Perin (all injured) as well as Cambiasso (suspended).

Head-to-Head
In the last three encounters, Genoa did not score against Juventus and lost each time. The last meeting under coach Igor Tudor in March ended with a narrow victory for Juventus, with Genoa holding up well defensively. The record clearly favors Juventus.

Match Prediction
Juventus presents themselves as defensively solid and offensively reactive enough to beat well-organized opponents like Genoa. Genoa will try to remain compact defensively, but so far lacks offensive momentum. Due to their convincing defense and individual quality, Juventus will prevail. The betting odds of 1.88 for a Juventus win are therefore very attractive and recommended.

My Tip: Juventus win (1.88)
