Premier League tips and predictions
12:30 - Newcastle v Bournemouth: Back goals in bet builder
Ste Tudor: Results may not have gone their way but Bournemouth have started the season brightly under Marco Rose. They are sure to give a good account of themselves at St James' Park, just like they did last season, triumphing 2-1.
They will encounter a very different Magpies this time out though, the hosts vibrant to date. They're industrious in midfield and ruthlessly breaking on teams, with Wissa and Elanga enjoying themselves.
This could well be the second Saturday lunchtime running we're treated to multiple goals. It would not surprise either if there is a high volume of cautions because this fixture tends to get spicy.
An average of 5.2 yellow cards per 90 across their last five meetings tells us that and the Cherries take most of the blame picking up 19 of the 26 brandished.
Back over 3.5 goals, BTTS, and Cherries 1+ cards each half
15:00 - Man City v Coventry: Back home win in bet builder
Mark Stinchcombe: Man City have begun life under Enzo Maresca with two wins out of two and, with Arsenal playing Chelsea on Sunday, they could end the weekend top of the league.
It's been a poor return to life in the top flight for Coventry with two defeats out of two. Their trip to Arsenal may give us a good indication of how this may likely play out. They had 36% possession, only managed four shots whilst conceding 20 and losing the xG battle 1.88 - 0.20.
City have scored six goals already so backing the Cityzens to win by more than one goal while not conceding looks a solid start. Adding Under 3.5 cards also looks a logical angle.
Quite often when a big favourite wins by at least a couple of goals, the intensity of a match can drop, leading to a more friendly-style of competitiveness and thus a low number of cards. City only picked up one card at home to Bournemouth and Coventry just one in their defeat at the Gunners.
Back Man City -1, Both Teams to Score No and Under 3.5 Cards
15:00 - Fulham v Crystal Palace: Back goals for hosts
The Opta Stat: Crystal Palace have conceded at least two goals in each of their last eight Premier League matches - they've never done so in nine league matches in a row in their league history.
Back Fulham to score over 2.5 goals
17:30 - Hull v Aston Villa: Back Jackson to make impact
Dave Tindall: While Villa's triumphant Europa League squad has been gutted, they have made some exciting acquisitions and Unai Emery - one of the best managers in the top-flight - will enjoy getting this new iteration up to speed.
There's a sense that he might need a few pulls on the string to get the motor running but, despite Hull's strong start, this really is a golden opportunity to get off the mark.
Hull caught Manchester United cold and rather rode that momentum to beat a Coventry side which still looked shaken by the 3-0 opening-day defeat to Arsenal when they weren't even competitive.
Nicolas Jackson has the central striking role now Ollie Watkins has gone and Villa have the players to feed him. Jackson knows his way around the Premier League after his time at Chelsea so back him to find the net in a Villa victory.

EFL tips and predictions
12:30 Championship - Lincoln v Southampton: Back Saints to squeeze past Imps
Jack Critchley: Lincoln have recorded back-to-back clean sheets and have picked up four points so far. Their last two games have been against teams that are expected to be around them in the bottom third of the Championship table, so this fixture is likely to be a step up. The Imps gave Middlesbrough a tough time on the opening day, and they will not make it easy for the Saints.
They have an abundance of strikers at the club, including their latest recruit Mikkel Ladefoged, but they will need one of their forwards to start hitting the target on a regular basis.
Southampton put in a slightly underwhelming performance on the road at St. Andrews and will be keen to bounce back. They managed to improve their away form towards the end of last season, although they always tend to give away a few chances.
I think the visitors can win this game, and the strength of their bench is likely to make the difference. A narrow margin success for Tonda Eckert's side feels like the most logical option.
Back Southampton to Win by a 1 Goal Margin
12:30 L1 - Wigan v Stockport: Back fast start visitors
Ste Tudor: Pointless and propping up League One, the Latics are better than their league position suggests. Still, they're in for a tough Saturday against a side who have registered 18.3 shots per 90.
County have been rewarded for their ambition too. No team with three games or less on the board have scored more goals across the league pyramid.
Over 2.5 goals for the visitors is good value at 7/2
The punishment may be inflicted early as well. Wigan have been breached inside 15 minutes twice already this term. Stockport converted inside 16 minutes against Plymouth and Wycombe.
Back County and 20 minutes
15:00 L1 - Huddersfield v Notts County: Back Terriers in bet builder
Alan Dudman: Huddersfield have delivered a couple of times for the column already this term. Admittedly short prices on both occasions, but nine goals in four games took them to the summit on Tuesday night.
Joe Taylor has five goals already and it appears Martin Drury has built a good spirit in a team where so much was expected last term.
Their counter-attack is pretty swift and was too much for the pass-heavy Oxford on Tuesday night and backing the hosts here with Over 2.5 Goals appeals as an angle to explore as Notts County have scored in every game thus far, including two at Luton and one at Donny in midweek.
KEY OPTA STAT: Notts County have won just two of their 14 away league games against Huddersfield Town (D3 L9), each coming via 2-1 scorelines in April 1985 and November 1989.
Back Huddersfield to win and Over 2.5 Goals
Bundesliga tips and predictions
14:30 - Hoffenheim v Borussia Dortmund - Sinsheim slip-up for BVB
Kevin Hatchard: It was a mixed picture for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, as the Bundesliga campaign got underway. While BVB were able to ease past Hamburg in a 2-0 victory, they lost summer signing Giannis Konstantelias to a serious knee injury. The German giants have moved to plug that gap by bringing in Arsenal teenager Ethan Nwaneri for a season-long loan.
With their Champions League opener against Villarreal on the horizon, this trip to Europa League qualifiers Hoffenheim seems awkwardly timed. Although TSG collapsed to a 3-2 defeat at Köln last weekend, their home form last season was the bedrock of their campaign. Christian Ilzer's side have won ten of their last 14 home matches in the Bundesliga, including a 2-1 win over Dortmund in mid-April.
Dortmund had a DFB Pokal tie in Hamburg on Tuesday, and while they won comfortably against minnows HEBC Hamburg, it was a still an away fixture that needed playing while Hoffenheim could devote their full energies towards preparing for this game. It's also worth noting that Dortmund have dropped points in five of their last ten away games in the German top flight.
We can back Hoffenheim +0 & +0.5 on the Asian Handicap at 1.96, so that a draw gives us a half-win and a home win pays out at nearly evens.
