1.Brentford vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Last season's performance from Tottenham Hotspur was disappointing for everyone. Despite the career-best performance from their former captain Kane, the team's ranking dropped instead of rising. Eventually, Kane's disillusionment led him to leave, which was almost inevitable. This season, under the guidance of a new coach, it's hard to predict the outcome for Tottenham. Especially since this is their first match after Kane's departure, even with nearly 200 million euros spent on transfers, it's difficult for me to foresee how Tottenham will perform. On the other hand, Brentford is easier to predict. The core team from last season is largely intact, and historically, Brentford has managed to defeat top teams at home. So, in my opinion, I lean more towards Brentford winning this match. Looking at the handicap, it's a level ball game, indicating that the bookmakers consider both sides to be relatively evenly matched for now. My guess is that Brentford will win the game with a score of 2-0. However, what I actually recommend is betting on the under. The over/under for this match is set at 2.5/3 goals. I don't believe there will be many goals in this game. Both Tottenham and Brentford lack strong attacking power, but defensively, Brentford is stronger. Therefore, the likelihood of a low-scoring match is higher.
2.Chelsea vs. Liverpool
This match promises excitement. The clash between these two teams, traditional powerhouses, is already enticing, and the off-field stories surrounding them make it even more intriguing. Both teams are currently in pursuit of a defensive midfielder named Kessadou from Brighton, as they are both facing a shortage in that position. Initially, Chelsea aimed to buy Kessadou, but later Liverpool intercepted Chelsea's target. Eventually, it seems Chelsea managed to snatch Kessadou back (or so it appears). According to rumors, the owners of both teams seem displeased with each other and are apparently planning to settle their differences on the field today. It's safe to say that the off-field drama is more captivating than the match itself.
So, this match should be the most difficult one to predict. Both teams lack strong defensive midfielders, and without a midfield barrier, their styles are destined to be open and attacking. I estimate that there will likely be quite a few goals. As for the strengths of the two teams, Chelsea is currently in a rebuilding phase. While their performance in pre-season has been good, the injury to Enkunku during the pre-season has definitely impacted Chelsea's attacking prowess. Fortunately, key players like Muderek are returning to form, so Chelsea's fate is not yet sealed.
On the other hand, Liverpool's biggest issue, apart from the lack of a defensive midfielder, is whether they can address their poor away performance from last season. Liverpool's attacking firepower is always impressive, but judging from the pre-season, their defensive quality hasn't been resolved. Therefore, the key for Liverpool when facing Chelsea is whether they can withstand Chelsea's attacks away from home. My guess is that this match will be played very intensely. Both teams have accumulated a fair amount of resentment off the field, and given their current technical characteristics, it's hard not to imagine it turning into a high-scoring battle. As for the score, my wild guess is that Chelsea will ultimately win with a score of 3-2. However, I recommend considering placing bets on a high-scoring match (over). The over/under for this match is set at 3 goals, but in my opinion, given the heated atmosphere and buildup, there will likely be at least 5 goals or more in this match. Betting on the over is definitely worth considering.
*In the end, the two teams played to a draw, and the analysis above is provided for reference.
