The Coventry club struggled for a long time to return to the Premier League, having left the top flight back at the beginning of this century. However, Lampard, who took charge during the previous season, ensured they maintained a commanding lead throughout 2025/2026. After the summer break, their only victory came against Plymouth in the League Cup. The Premier League newcomers began with defeats to both Arsenal and Hull. In the latest round, they predictably came away from their match against Manchester City without any points.

The side from the Amex won a hard-fought battle for eighth place in the spring, finishing ahead of three rivals, including Chelsea. On the other hand, they were one point behind Sunderland, 53 compared with 54. That result sent them into the Conference League, where the English side comfortably eliminated Tromsø. They also made a winning start to their Premier League campaign, thrashing Aston Villa. They then lost 3-4 to Chelsea. Against Leeds, they shared the points in a 1-1 draw.

The newcomers have yet to score, while conceding 1.67 goals per game. Groß and his teammates have averaged 2.67 goals scored per match while conceding 1.67.

The club from Stade de la Route de Lorient collected 59 points, finishing behind Marseille on the additional criteria and settling for sixth place.

The Berlin club finished eleventh last season with 39 points. Now under the management of Lustrinelli, they began with a victory in Braunschweig, although that came in the cup. They then drew 3-3 with another Eintracht side, this time from Frankfurt, in the opening round. Against Bayer, they suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat.

The Gelsenkirchen side spent a long time languishing in the country's second tier. However, they managed to claim top spot in the spring, earning a return to the Bundesliga after a three-year absence. Back in the top flight, following a cup victory over Hallescher, they began with a 0-3 defeat to Augsburg. They then failed to score against Bayern, but sensationally kept a clean sheet to earn a goalless draw.

The capital club averaged 1.29 goals scored per game last season, while conceding considerably more at 1.71. The Bundesliga newcomers averaged 1.47 goals per match in the second tier last season, while conceding a third fewer, at 0.91.

The Mestalla side also improved in 2025/2026, eventually finishing ninth with 49 points. However, after the summer break, they drew 0-0 with Celta before losing to Real Betis and Deportivo. In the latest round, they suffered an emphatic 0-5 defeat to Barcelona.

The Pierluigi Penzo club failed to establish themselves in Serie A during their previous spell in the top flight. However, they finished second in Serie B in the spring, earning another promotion. They began the new season with a victory, albeit in the cup against Modena. However, they subsequently lost 1-2 to Udinese in the same competition. The newcomers also began their Serie A campaign with defeats, including a 2-3 loss to Frosinone in the latest round.

The Florence side reached the Europa League play-offs last season. However, they struggled domestically for a long time and only managed to climb to 15th place towards the end, finishing with 42 points. Under Grosso this time around, despite a 4-1 cup victory over Benevento, they once again made a disastrous start to their league campaign: 0-4 against Roma and 0-3 at home to Frosinone. They at least scored against Torino in the latest round, but still suffered defeat. As a result, Vanoli is now back in charge.

The MHP Arena side climbed to fourth place in the Bundesliga, collecting one more point than their opponents, 62 compared with 61. They also reached the cup final, although they lost to Bayern there. They suffered defeat in the opening round of the new Bundesliga campaign as well. Before that, the players thrashed Hansa 4-0 away from home in the cup.

The Bergamo club brought a successful chapter under Gasperini to an end in 2025. Without him, they struggled to finish seventh. That position sent the Italians into the Conference League, where they eliminated Hapoel Tel Aviv in qualifying thanks to the only goal scored across the two legs. At the same time, they began their domestic campaign with victories over Sassuolo and Bologna. They did, however, lose 1-2 to Roma.

The Sardinian side finished the spring in a high-for-them 14th place with 43 points. They began the current campaign with victories, beating Arezzo in the cup and Parma in Serie A. They then suffered an expected defeat to Inter. Their subsequent cup clash with Verona also ended in defeat. Against Lecce in the latest round, however, they lost 0-1.

De Ketelaere and company scored 1.33 goals per game in the opening rounds while conceding one per match. The islanders have averaged just 0.67 goals per game while conceding 0.33.

The Bilbao club had a disappointing campaign last season, failing to reach the Champions League play-offs and dropping to twelfth place domestically. After that, Valverde was replaced by Terzic, but he began his spell in Spain with defeats against Sevilla and Barcelona. His new charges then finally secured a victory, beating Celta 2-0 away from home. They followed that up with an even more convincing 3-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

The side from Manuel Martinez Valero returned from the Segunda and collected 43 points in 2025/2026, enough to finish fifteenth on the additional criteria — although everyone remembers that relegated Mallorca had 42.

The ambitious London club only narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship last season. De Zerbi, who arrived in the spring and achieved that goal, was given a number of expensive new signings during the summer. However, they began the new season with clean-sheet defeats against Brentford and Newcastle, although they did beat Charlton 5-1 in the League Cup. They also failed to score against Nottingham Forest but at least managed to secure a 0-0 draw.

The Liverpool side appeared to be aiming for European qualification in 2025/2026, but ultimately finished thirteenth with 49 points.

They then snatched a late draw against Bournemouth and recorded a 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

The capital giants ruined their own excellent run from the season before last by sacking Maresca around New Year. Without him, they eventually dropped to tenth place. A new manager, Xabi Alonso, arrived over the summer, and the squad was rebuilt once again. The Spaniard began with victories, beating Luton in the League Cup and Fulham and Brighton in the Premier League. They then took the lead against Arsenal but eventually lost. They subsequently defeated Leeds in the League Cup.

The Hull club won the Championship play-offs in the spring and have surprised many people at the start of their Premier League campaign. First, they beat Manchester United 2-0, then, in a battle between newcomers, they narrowly defeated Coventry 1-0. They kept a clean sheet against Aston Villa, although that match ended 0-0. In the League Cup, after beating Stoke City over the summer, they then lost 0-1 to Sunderland.

The London stars have been scoring 2.67 goals per game while conceding 2.33 with different goalkeepers in place. The Premier League newcomers are averaging one goal per match and have yet to concede.

Head to Head matches: Chelsea vs Hull City

The capital giants have won all nine of the last nine meetings, including the most recent encounter in February.

The London club collected all of the major honours in their history during the 2025/2026 season: first, they won the FA Cup after beating Manchester City in the final, then, just over a year ago, they defeated Liverpool in the national Super Cup, and finally ended last season with success in the Conference League. However, the man behind all these achievements left the club, as he had announced. Their new manager, Pierre Sage, began with defeats against Everton and Manchester City. They then beat Fulham, while in the League Cup they comfortably defeated Middlesbrough 3-0.

The Ipswich side have not spent two consecutive seasons in the same division in recent years. They were promoted from League One to the Premier League, only to be immediately relegated, before emerging as one of the Championship's leading sides in 2025/2026. They began this season with victories over Sunderland in the Premier League and Leicester in the League Cup. However, they then suffered a 2-5 defeat against Manchester United and lost 0-2 to Liverpool.

The club from Dean Court achieved their best-ever result last season, finishing sixth with 57 points. However, the architect of that success, Iraola, moved to Liverpool. His replacement, Rose, came close to winning his debut match against Manchester City, but after conceding a couple of goals late on, they ended up losing. They then drew at home with Everton and Newcastle. It was only in the League Cup, against Lincoln City, that they finally secured a victory, winning 4-0.

The London side changed managers last summer and also sold their main stars, but they only improved, collecting 53 points and losing the battle for eighth place to Brighton solely on the additional criteria. They began the current campaign with a thumping victory over Tottenham, but then drew with Leeds. They also repeated the same 1-1 scoreline against Sunderland. In the League Cup, meanwhile, they thrashed Leeds 6-1.

Rose's side are scoring 1.33 goals per game while conceding 1.67. The capital club are currently averaging 1.67 goals scored per match and 0.67 conceded.

The Birmingham club had an undoubtedly successful campaign last season. They won the Europa League and also climbed to fourth place in the Premier League. However, they made significant changes to their squad over the summer, allowing key players such as Rogers, Watkins, Konsa and Martinez to leave. They began the new campaign with defeats — 1-2 against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup and 0-4 against Brighton in the opening round of the Premier League. Things went better against Arsenal, but after conceding, they failed to respond. It was only against Hull that they managed to pick up at least a draw, and even then it ended 0-0. In the Champions League, they finally secured a victory against Club Brugge, winning 3-2.

The Nottingham side played in the Europa League last season, only ending their campaign in May after losing to their current opponents. On the domestic front, however, they dropped to sixteenth place with 44 points while constantly changing managers. Over the summer, Glasner was entrusted with the managerial role, but he began with defeats against Leeds in both the League Cup and the Premier League. They then managed to draw with Liverpool, surrendering a two-goal lead during the final half-hour. Against Tottenham, by contrast, they failed to score at all.

The European trophy winners are currently struggling to score goals domestically, while conceding 1.67 per game. Gibbs-White and company are averaging 0.67 goals per match while conceding one.

The club from Stadio Ciro Vigorito were in the top flight not so long ago, but were relegated to the third tier in 2023. They only returned last season, winning their group. In the cup, they beat Ravenna in the summer before being thrashed by Fiorentina. In Serie B, they lost 1-2 at home to Modena before drawing with Südtirol. Against Ascoli, however, they failed to score and conceded, suffering another defeat.

Hellas Verona were relegated from Serie A last season after a dreadful campaign, finishing second from bottom. They have hardly been impressive this time around either. In the cup, they only overcame modest Virtus Entella on penalties, before sensationally beating Cagliari 2-1 away from home. They began their Serie B campaign with a home defeat to Ascoli, followed by a draw with Padova. Against Arezzo, however, they secured a convincing 5-0 victory.

The newcomers are averaging just 0.67 goals scored per match after their promotion to Serie B, while conceding 1.33. The side that were still playing in the top flight in the spring are also not getting everything right, scoring 2.33 goals per game while conceding one.

The Gothenburg club finished only tenth in the final league standings last year. They have clearly improved this season and are once again competing for a place in the top three. On the other hand, they have dropped plenty of points lately, including a goalless draw against GAIS.

The Hällevik side surprised everyone by winning both the league title and the cup in succession. However, they are nowhere near that level this season. In the Champions League, the Scandinavians overcame Lincoln Red Imps but were comprehensively beaten by Slovan Bratislava. In the Europa League, they suffered two defeats to Red Bull without scoring. They have also endured plenty of setbacks domestically, particularly recently. They lost 1-4 at home to Göteborg.

The club from Max-Morlock-Stadion were unimpressive last season as well, finishing only eighth with 46 points. However, they have made a truly excellent start this time around. They only overcame Viktoria Köln after a lengthy penalty shoot-out following a 1-1 draw in the cup. In the 2. Bundesliga, though, they began with a string of victories. Only Holstein managed to hold them to a draw in the latest round.

The Lower Saxony side battled for promotion last season, eventually collecting 60 points, two fewer than Elversberg and Paderborn, and finishing fourth. They began this campaign with defeats to Energie and Wolfsburg, but then thrashed their cup opponents before finally securing their first 2. Bundesliga victory against Darmstadt. In the latest round against Karlsruhe, they could only manage a draw.

The home side are currently averaging 3.25 goals scored per game while conceding 1.25. Titz's men, meanwhile, are scoring one goal per match and conceding an average of 1.5.

Head to Head matches: Nürnberg vs Hannover

Hannover have won four of the last five head-to-head encounters. However, last season Nürnberg took four points from the two meetings.

The visitors are even considered slight favourites. However, the hosts are certainly good enough to avoid defeat at home (odds – 1.60).

• Nürnberg have won three of their last five matches
• 75% of Nürnberg's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 4.5 goals per game
• Hannover are unbeaten in two consecutive matches
• 50% of Hannover's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 2.5 goals per game

Nürnberg play in a 1-4-2-3-1 formation (possible lineup): Reichert - Porstner, Mandić, Kalogeropoulos, Janisch - Fernandes, Markhiev - Soma, Becker, Justvan - Skobel

Hannover play in a 1-4-4-2 formation (possible lineup): Weinkauf - Okon, Tumiak, Allgeier, Taibi - Oudenne, Hartel, Roggow, Neubauer - Gindorf, Pichler

The club from Stadion am Böllenfalltor finished fifth in the spring with 52 points, edging their rivals on the additional criteria. They have made a difficult start this time around: they beat Carl Zeiss Jena in the cup, but after drawing with Holstein in the league, they went on to suffer defeats. They were beaten 0-3 by Kaiserslautern.

The Bielefeld side battled against relegation in 2025/2026 and eventually finished thirteenth with 39 points, two more than relegated Fortuna. Their start has also been disappointing. They lost on penalties to third-tier Sonnenhof Großaspach in the cup, while in the 2. Bundesliga, after beating Energie 3-0, they lost to Karlsruhe and Nürnberg. Against St. Pauli in the latest round, they at least managed a 2-2 draw.

Vermeij and company are averaging 0.5 goals scored per match while conceding 1.75. Their next opponents, meanwhile, are managing 1.75 goals per game while conceding two.

Head to Head matches: Darmstadt vs Arminia Bielefeld

Arminia Bielefeld have won seven of the last nine encounters, with the other two ending in draws.

The hosts have been particularly poor. Therefore, even these inconsistent visitors should be capable of winning away from home, although a 0 handicap offers some extra protection (odds – 1.71).

• Darmstadt have won one of their last five matches
• 5% of Darmstadt's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 2.25 goals per game
• Arminia Bielefeld have lost two of their last five matches

The Quito club won the national Serie A last season and began 2026 with a victory in the Super Cup. They are also currently leading the table with considerable confidence. The Rio de Janeiro giants won both the Brasileirão and Copa Libertadores last season. However, Palmeiras have at least as good a chance of claiming the domestic title this time around. Flamengo's campaign also began with a number of setbacks, including defeats in the Recopa Sudamericana and the Brazilian Super Cup.

The Ecuadorians collected the same 13 points as Rosario Central in the Copa Libertadores group stage, but still won the group on the additional criteria. In the play-offs, they managed to beat Deportes Tolima twice: 1-0 in Colombia and 3-1 at home.

The Brazilians dropped points only once in the group stage, collecting 16 points, although it should be noted that they never played away to Independiente Medellín. In the play-offs, they were drawn against fellow Brazilians Cruzeiro, and it was far from straightforward. Nevertheless, after a 1-1 draw away from home, they beat them 2-1 in the return leg.

Head to Head matches: Independiente del Valle vs Flamengo

The sides have already met six times, with the Brazilians winning half of those encounters and suffering two defeats.

This is considered an evenly matched tie. The contest should be an interesting one, so we are backing both teams to score (odds – 1.95).

• Independiente del Valle have won six of their last seven Copa Libertadores matches
• Independiente del Valle average 2.41 goals scored and 1.07 conceded per match
• 55% of Independiente del Valle's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 3.48 goals per game

The club from Achter de Kazerne finished last season in the championship group, but ended up last, in sixth place. They have made a poor start this time around, remaining winless while alternating between defeats and draws. In the latest round, they suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat to Westerlo.

The historic Brussels giants only narrowly made the top six after the regular season last year, but eventually climbed to fourth place. This earned them a place in the Europa League, where they comfortably overcame Hammarby, PAOK and Kairat in qualifying. However, they have struggled domestically, starting with a victory before suffering a series of defeats. After beating Kortrijk, they lost to Genk.

Still's men are scoring goals per match while conceding 2.6. The capital club, meanwhile, are averaging 0.6 goals scored in domestic competition and conceding one per game.

Head to Head matches: Mechelen vs Anderlecht

Anderlecht have won five of the last eight encounters, suffering just one defeat during that period.

• 40% of Mechelen's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 3.6 goals per game
• Anderlecht have won one of their last three matches

Anderlecht play in a 1-4-4-2 formation (possible lineup): Coosemans - Augustinsson, Petro, Biancon, Maamar - Nga Kanna, Kana, Liassana, Ambrose - Sikan, Tsvetkovic

The Alkmaar club finished only seventh in the final standings last season, but won the Dutch Cup. The new campaign began with a resounding 4-0 victory over PSV in the Super Cup. They have also won all of their opening Eredivisie matches. Their 3-2 victory over Heerenveen even allowed them to move clear at the top of the table.

The Tilburg side have recently been moving between the divisions. After returning to the second tier in 2025, they finished third but won the play-offs. They have now started with a pair of defeats and only managed a draw against Heerenveen. They suffered a 0-3 defeat to Excelsior.

The cup holders have made an excellent start to the championship, averaging 3.2 goals scored per game and conceding just one. The newcomers, meanwhile, have scored only once while conceding 3.25 goals per match.

Head to Head matches: AZ vs Willem II

The London club won the Conference League not so long ago. However, they were relegated from the Premier League last season. They have now recorded consecutive League Cup victories over Portsmouth and Southampton. In the Championship, though, their opening rounds produced nothing but draws. They subsequently beat both Wolverhampton and Derby County, before also overcoming Bolton.

The Welsh side were promoted from League One in 2025. They immediately attempted to reach the play-offs, but finished seventh. Their current campaign began modestly, as they were eliminated from the League Cup by Middlesbrough. In the Championship, they drew their first two matches before losing to Birmingham. They then beat Millwall and shared the points with Swansea and Burnley.

The capital club are currently scoring 2.33 goals per game while conceding 1.5. The Welsh side, meanwhile, are averaging 1.17 goals scored and 0.83 conceded per match.

Head to Head matches: West Ham vs Wrexham

The Prague club reclaimed the Czech title in 2025 after a four-year wait and successfully defended it the following season. After the summer break, the favourites began with three victories, but ended the summer with draws against Slovan and Bohemians. They then comfortably won the derby against their main rivals, Sparta. They also dispatched Zbrojovka without much difficulty.

The Félix-Bollaert club led Ligue 1 for much of last season but eventually surrendered top spot to PSG. They did, however, go on to lift the domestic cup. The club subsequently appointed Dino Toppmöller as their new head coach. He began his tenure by winning the Super Cup against PSG. In Ligue 1, they beat Auxerre but then suffered a surprise defeat to Strasbourg before losing 0-1 to Lorient.

The Czechs are currently averaging three goals scored per match while conceding 0.71. The French side, meanwhile, are scoring two goals per game this season and conceding 1.67.

Head to Head matches: Slavia Prague vs Lens

The clubs met in the UEFA Cup in 1995. After a goalless draw in Prague, the Czechs scored the only goal of the return leg in France.

This is regarded as an evenly matched fixture. However, the visitors have greater individual quality, so we are backing Lens to win with a 0 handicap (odds – 1.96).

• Slavia Prague have won five of their last seven matches
• 57% of Slavia Prague's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 3.71 goals per game

The historic Old Trafford giants endured an inconsistent campaign last season, eventually sacking Rúben Amorim in the winter. He was replaced by Carrick, initially on an interim basis, and the former midfielder guided the team to third place. Having been given the job on a permanent basis, Michael began the new season with a shock 0-2 home defeat to Hull. They subsequently thrashed Ipswich 5-2, but then shared the points with Everton in a 2-2 draw.

The Baku club surprised everyone last season by overtaking even Qarabağ to win the championship. They began the new campaign with a victory, before thrashing Zira. They had already started their Champions League qualifying campaign earlier, successively eliminating The New Saints and KuPS with two wins each, followed by Aarhus and Hapoel Be'er Sheva, against whom they secured emphatic home victories after losing the away legs 1-2.

The English side are currently scoring 2.33 goals per match while conceding two. The Azerbaijanis, meanwhile, are averaging 2.67 goals scored per game domestically and have yet to concede on the domestic stage.

Head to Head matches: Manchester United vs Sabah

As expected, these relatively young visitors will be facing Manchester United for the first time.

The only question is how convincingly the English side will win at home. We are backing Manchester United with a -2.5-goal handicap (odds – 1.90).

• Manchester United have won one of their three matches
• 67% of Manchester United's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 4.33 goals per game
• Sabah have won six matches in qualifying and suffered two defeats

The club from the Milan suburbs were the biggest surprise of last season in Italian football. In their second Serie A campaign after a lengthy absence, they finished fourth, although their impressive run was tempered by a dramatic semi-final exit to Inter in the cup. This time, Fàbregas' men began with a draw against Udinese. However, they subsequently beat both Napoli and Genoa.

The Leipzig side managed to improve after their disastrous 2024/2025 campaign. They climbed to third place in the Bundesliga. After selling Diomande to Real Madrid for a substantial fee, which allowed them to bring in a number of new players, they began the season with emphatic victories — against Eintracht Trier in the cup and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the league. However, they suffered a setback in the latest round against Werder, losing 1-3 without ever looking likely to earn even a draw.

The Italians are currently averaging 2.33 goals scored per match while conceding one. The Germans, meanwhile, are scoring two goals per game and conceding 1.5 on average.

Head to Head matches: Como vs RB Leipzig

This will be the first meeting between the teams.

The Italians look stronger and also have home advantage. We are backing Como to win (odds – 1.80).

• 100% of Como's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 3.33 goals per game
• RB Leipzig have won two of their three matches
• 50% of RB Leipzig's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 3.5 goals per game

The Munich giants won every possible domestic title last season. However, they lost to PSG in the Champions League semi-finals. After the summer break, they began by lifting the Super Cup, beating Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in Dortmund. They opened their Bundesliga campaign with a 5-1 victory over Stuttgart, but then failed to score against Schalke, settling for a 0-0 draw. Before that, they had also beaten Osnabrück in the cup without producing a particularly impressive performance.

The Bodø club surrendered top spot in the Eliteserien last year despite their success in European competition. They are once again battling Brann for the title, with the two sides neck and neck. August also brought Champions League qualifying fixtures. They eliminated Union Saint-Gilloise thanks to an extra-time goal in the second leg after two draws. Things were more straightforward against NEC: a 3-1 victory in Nijmegen followed by a 3-0 home win.

The German champions are currently averaging 2.5 goals scored per match while conceding just 0.5. The Norwegians, meanwhile, are scoring 2.58 goals per game this season and conceding only 0.71.

Head to Head matches: Bayern Munich vs Bodø/Glimt

The teams will meet for the first time at the Allianz Arena.

Bodø/Glimt play in a 1-4-3-3 formation (possible lineup): Khaykin - Bjørkan, Bjørtuft, Nielsen, Sjøvold - Fet, Berg, Auklend - Hauge, Blomberg, Helmerssen

Follow the Champions League standings and keep up to date with your team's form before placing a bet on the next match.

The Lisbon suburb club collected the same 30 points as Casa Pia in 2025/2026, but finished higher on goal difference, securing 15th place and avoiding relegation. They made an entertaining start to the current campaign, drawing 2-2 with both Sporting and Alverca. They then scored one more goal against Nacional to finally secure a victory. However, they repeated the 2-2 scoreline against Famalicão, once again sharing the points.

The Municipal Stadium side finished fourth in the previous Primeira Liga campaign once again. That result earned them a place in the Conference League, where they successively eliminated Železničar Pančevo, Dinamo Minsk and Austria in qualifying. In the Primeira Liga, meanwhile, they have so far faced only Moreirense, with the match ending in a draw. They subsequently beat both Vitória Guimarães and Alverca.

Marcos and company are scoring an average of 2.25 goals per match while conceding slightly less, at two. Their ambitious visitors are averaging 1.67 goals scored and just one conceded per game.

Head to Head matches: Estrela Amadora vs Braga

Three of the last four head-to-head encounters have ended in high-scoring draws, with Braga recording one victory.

• Estrela Amadora have drawn three of their last four matches
• 100% of Estrela's matches have seen both teams score, with an average total of 4.25 goals per game

The club from Riga finished fourth last year. They also managed to win the national cup, which sent the Latvian side to the Conference League, where, together with experienced FCSB, they surprised by winning twice and advancing further. In the domestic league, only a couple of neighboring giants performed better. However, their results dipped in the summer. Still, they beat Daugavpils in the latest round and continue in the cup as well.

Ogre's team is the reigning second division champion, but their debut in the Virsliga started off very tough. Only from mid-June did they start winning, reducing the gap from their competitors. They also secured a point against Grobina, drawing 2-2.

The capital’s footballers currently score 1.65 goals per game and concede 1.13. For the newcomer, things are much worse: while scoring just 0.96 goals per game, they concede far more—2.54 per match.

Previous Matches: Auda vs Ogre United

The clubs have already played each other twice. After winning at home, Auda settled for a draw away.

The hosts have all the advantages. They are expected to win with a "-1.5 goals" handicap (odds – 1.65).

• Auda has won its last four matches
• 57% of Auda’s matches end with both teams scoring and the average total goals per match is 2.78
• Ogre United has won three of their last seven matches

The Chicago club improved last season. Their 53 points were enough to enter the wild card round, where they beat Orlando City 3-1, but then lost to Philadelphia Union. Currently, they are on a winning streak, including victories in their last three matches. However, they have already been knocked out of the US Open Cup. On the brighter side, they have managed to sign Lewandowski!

The Vancouver side, with 63 points, missed out on first place in the West only on tiebreakers to debutants San Diego. They went on to reach the playoff final, where they lost 1-3 to Inter Miami. They are in good form now as well, having already tallied ten victories, including their most recent 4-2 away win over San Diego.

Berhalter's team averages 1.93 goals scored per game while conceding 1.14. The Canadians look even better, scoring 2.43 goals per game and conceding just 0.86 on average.

Previous Matches: Chicago Fire vs Vancouver Whitecaps

In the last four official encounters, both sides have alternated victories, with all wins coming away from home.

This time, the visitors are also considered slight favorites. However, considering the strength of both teams, a neutral bet on "total goals over 3.0" (odds – 1.75) seems appropriate.

• Chicago Fire have won three games in a row
• 57% of Chicago Fire matches end with goals from both teams and the average goals per match is 3.07
• Vancouver Whitecaps have won two of their last three matches
• 50% of Vancouver Whitecaps matches end with goals from both teams and the average goals per match is 3.29

Chicago Fire use a 1-4-4-2 formation (probable lineup): Brady - Gutman, Mbokazi, Elliott, Dean - Haile-Selassie, Pineda, Saletros, S. Skjernagel - Capers, Ludd

Vancouver Whitecaps use a 1-4-2-3-1 formation (probable lineup): Bomer - Johnson, Laborda, Blackmon, Ocampo - Berhalter, Badwal - Jackson, Mueller, Cabrera - White
