Gunners to Bounce Back with Three Points

Ange Postecoglou takes charge of his first Nottingham Forest game, as the Reds travel to the capital to face Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. Both are hoping to bounce back from defeats.

Arsenal started their campaign with wins over Manchester United and Leeds United. However, they suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to their title rivals, Liverpool, before the international break.

Forest eased past Brentford on the opening weekend before picking up a solid draw at Crystal Palace. However, they were brought back down to earth with a bump in their last one, losing 3-0 at home to struggling West Ham United.

After Nuno Espirito Santo’s inevitable sacking, Postecoglou was swiftly appointed as the new Forest boss. The former Tottenham Hotspur head coach has a tough start, and we fancy Arsenal to secure a routine home victory. Take a punt on the Gunners to win -1 at 1.55.

Comfortable Away Win for Los Blancos

Real Sociedad and Real Madrid go head-to-head at the Reale Arena this weekend in La Liga. Xabi Alonso’s Blancos are looking to maintain their 100% winning start.

Sociedad have yet to win in La Liga this term, drawing two and losing one. After stalemates with Valencia and Espanyol, Sergio Francisco’s side were beaten by Real Oviedo last time out.

Real Madrid have taken nine points from a possible nine in La Liga, seeing off Osasuna, Oviedo, and Mallorca. The Madrid giants are the early leaders in Spain’s top tier.

Alonso’s managerial career at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu could not have started any better, and we can see Real Madrid chalking up another three points here. There is good value in 2.43 for the visitors to be winning at half time and full time.

Easy Victory for the Bundesliga Champions

Bayern return to Bundesliga action on Saturday evening with a home game against Hamburg. The Bavarians are the overwhelming favourites to put three points on the board.

Vincent Kompany’s men have made a strong start, winning four league and cup games on the trot. They hammered RB Leipzig 6-0 in their first league match but were made to work hard for their 3-2 victory at Augsburg on matchday two.

Hamburg are back in the Bundesliga after their promotion from the second division. The Red Shorts have taken one point from a possible six, drawing with Borussia Monchengladbach and losing at home to St Pauli.

This should be a stroll in the park for the German champions, and we are backing Kompany’s Reds to dominate last term’s 2. Bundesliga runners-up. Have a punt on Bayern to win both halves at 1.65.
