For both teams, two of their three Bundesliga games so far this season have seen Over 3.5 goals and while Dortmund are justifiably favourites here, they’re made a pig’s ear of this fixture too many times for us to back them. Goals is the way to go when both teams are in such exceptional net-finding form.

15:00 Leicester v Man City: Both Teams To Score And Over 2.5 Goals
Both Manchester clubs kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday? The last time that happened your grandad bought the family home for a fiver. Bad jokes aside, Leicester have already beaten Man City this season in the Community Shield. Since then, Leicester have won two and lost one in the Premier League with City also losing one and winning two.
Results between the teams at the King Power have been tight with Leicester winning one, City winning two and two ending level (City won both those draws on penalties). This contest should be ripe for goals too, The Foxes have scored at least two goals in four of their last five home league games and City share the same stat over their five most recent away Premier League matches.
17:00 Napoli v Juventus: Both Teams To Score
Napoli have won both of their Serie A matches thus far, while Juve have just a point to their name after their two matches. Napoli are unbeaten over their last 12 league matches at the Stadio Diego Maradona. However, Juve’s form isn’t quite as good on the road, but they are unbeaten over their last five.
Over the last five meetings between the sides here, Napoli have won three and Juventus have taken two. Overs and Both Teams To Score landed in three of those games. But, The Old Lady have done little to give us confidence in backing them here, they desperately need a consistent goal-scorer to step up and take Cristiano Ronaldo’s place as topdog. But, if anyone can mess things up in Italy, it’s Napoli.
However, the Naples outfit have scored at least one in all of their last 10 home games and Juve have netted at least one in eight of their last 10 on the road. We’re going with the safe option here.
17:30 RB Leipzig v Bayern Munich: Bayern Munich To Win
Leipzig have played four domestic games so far, winning two and losing two. Bayern have played five, winning four and drawing one. The growing rivalry between the clubs has been interesting to watch, but the fact is that Leipzig have only beaten Bayern once over their last five visits.
Leipzig have only has one victory in their last five league games, drawing one and losing three. Bayern have won three of their last five in the league, drawing two. Given recent form, you’d have to fancy Bayern here – particularly seeing as they’ve scored 24 goals over those five matches, Leipzig have only scored four over their three league games and they all came in one game.
20:30 Sporting v Porto: Both Teams To Score
Sporting and Porto have won three and drawn one of their four league games this season, both have also scored eight and conceded two. Previous games between the sides at the Estadio Jose Alvalade have been tight affairs. Over their last five games in all competitions, Porto have won one with four ending level, and Sporting took two of two of those matches in the end on penalties.
Sporting have now gone 28 home league matches without a loss, winning 23 of them. Porto are unbeaten over their last 16 away league games, winning 11 of them. With both clubs in such great form for months now it’s tough to see either of them losing, does that mean we should bet on the Draw? Certainly, previous encounters would suggest so, but we’d rather err on the cautious side here and back Both Teams To Score instead as a late winner would be heartbreaking for our Acca.
