Match Preview: Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid (Sunday, 24th September 2023, 20:00)

Our Expert: @scottythorn21

The Madrid Derby takes place on Sunday night. Real Madrid have a perfect record after six competitive matches but they had to settle for a 1-1 draw the last time they faced their local rivals.

Atletico have picked up just seven points from their opening four matches. They managed to secure a point away at Lazio in the week but it has been far from an ideal start for Diego Simeone’s side. This encounter with their local rivals is the perfect opportunity to gain some momentum instantly but they will need to be at their best.

Real Madrid have a 100% record and are favourites for the title at this stage. However, their last four wins have been by a one-goal margin, and the football has hardly been swashbuckling. Jude Bellingham has grabbed the headlines for Carl Ancelotti's side. The 20-year-old is lighting up the Bernabeu like a veteran of the game and has scored some decisive goals.

The maverick midfielder is relishing playing as a number 10. His range of passing coupled with the pace in Real Madrid’s attack makes for a mouthwatering combination, but Jude has been a goal threat himself.

Bellingham has found the net five times in five league matches. Real Madrid still lacks an out-and-out striker, so Jude’s contribution has been needed. As a result, he hasn’t been afraid to try his luck. He is having 2.4 shots per game with an average of 1.8 shots on target per game.

Unibet have priced him at 1.70 to have a shot on target here. This will be his first AMdridd Derby and he will be keen to make an impression. This best is priced at 1.57 with other books so this price definitely appeals.

👉 Best Bet : Over 0.5 Shots On Target For Jude Bellingham

Match Preview: Eintracht Frankfurt vs Freiburg (Sunday, 24th September 2023, 16:30)

Our Expert: @GoalGrafting

Freiburg and Frankfurt both have six points after four matches and a defeat in this one could spark something of an inquest.

Frankfurt finished 7th last season but the loss of Randal Kolo Muani to PSG could impact their ambitions for the current campaign. Freiburg finished two places above Frankfurt last season and were unfortunate to miss out on Champions League football.

Frankfurt edged past Aberdeen in the Conference League midweek and have been far from solid so far. They’ve conceded in all of their games in the Bundesliga since the opening-day win over Darmstadt.

Freiburg’s matches have also seen plenty of goals. They’ve conceded nine in their last two league matches; losing 4-2 to Dortmund and 5-0 to Stuttgart. The latter came as the biggest shock. Stuttgart have started the season exceptionally well but a side playing European football wouldn’t have expected such a hammering against a team that survived by the skin of their teeth last season.

Both teams have scored in six of the last seven head-to-heads with an average of 3.43 goals per game. We can back both teams to score at 1.80 with William Hill.

👉 Best Bet: Both Teams To Score @ 1.80 William Hill

Match Preview: Burnley vs Manchester United (Saturday, 23rd September 2023, 20:00)

Our Expert: @Pete_Tscherewik

fixture this weekend, where Vincent Kompany will be looking for the Clarets’ first three points of the 2023/24 season.

Manchester United come into the game off the back of an enthralling 4-3 defeat away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Erik ten Hag’s sides’ only win in the Premier League so far this season came against Wolves on the opening day, while the off-field headlines of Jadon Sancho and Antony have proven to be an unwanted distraction in recent weeks.

United have lost their first two away games, albeit against Tottenham and Arsenal conceding 17 shots against in each.

Burnley have taken 10, 16, 9 and 6 shots (the latter, against Manchester City) in the Premier League so far this season and will be hoping to capitalise on the visitors’ defensive fragility in this one.

The Red Devils are likely to be without Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka for this fixture - which should provide some encouragement for the hosts.

Burnley: 10.3 shots for, 17.0 shots against

Man Utd: 15.8 shots for, 15.2 shots against

👉 Best Bet: Over 27.5 Shots In The Match @ 1.80 Bet 365

Match Preview: Zhang vs Joyce (Saturday, 23rd September 2023, 22:00)

Our Expert: @PeteRyan04

Joe Joyce will look to get back to winning ways this weekend as he takes on Zhilei Zhang in London. Joyce will seek revenge on the Chinese fighter after he was handed his first defeat in April this year. Zhang stopped the juggernaut in the sixth round of the fight. The result came as a shock to many, as people believed that Joyce would run through Zhang. It is a must-win for Joyce as it would propel him straight into the title picture.

After spending a long time in the amateur ranks, Joyce tore through every professional fight he entered before running into Zhang. The British fighter was known for putting pressure on his opponent and not giving them a break. Before the Zhang contest, Joyce was in line for a title shot if he were to beat the Chinese fighter. Joyce has a professional record of 15-1 with 14 knockouts. He has defeated the likes of Joseph Parker and Daniel Dubois, which shows he can dominate top-level competition. If he were to beat Zhang this weekend, his next fight would likely be the world title. However, Zhang has proven throughout his career that he is a tough person to beat.

Zhang has a professional record of 25-1 with 20 knockouts. He has fought all over the world and has garnered a lot of experience from that. Not many people gave him a chance going into the first contest with Joyce. Yet, he looked very comfortable in the main event. In addition to this, he never looked troubled in the fight because he was consistent with his jab. It stopped Joyce from getting into a rhythm as Zhang's jab disrupted his timing. The win over Joyce was arguably the most significant in his career. Zhang will now look to build on the momentum and get the victory over Joyce. If he were for a win, it will likely result in a fight for the title.

Going into the fight, Zhang is an 8/11 favourite, and Joyce is an 11/10 underdog. Zhang's cardio and boxing technique was on point in the first meeting. However, Joyce is desperate and will look for a significant result to catapult him back into the title picture. Zhang seemed so comfortable in the first fight that it is hard to see the effect changing due to the time between fights. Yet, if Joyce wins, it will likely be by knockout, as his career path has shown.

👉 Best Bet: Zhang To Win @ 8/11 Betfair

👉 Value Bet: Zhang To Win On Points @ 4/1 Betfair
