Housebets Picks of the Week

Head to Housebets.com to place your bets on our picks for this weekend’s round of matches and other football games across Europe’s top leagues. 

Another footballing weekend is here, meaning it is another time to give you our picks from the football games set to take place across Europe. 

Last week, we got two picks correctly, but we aim to do better this weekend. There are a couple of exciting matches to look forward to this weekend. 

The Bundesliga and Serie A kick off this weekend, while the Premier League, LaLiga, and Ligue 1 continue after starting last week. 

Without further ado, let us get down to our picks for this weekend. 

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur 

Our first pick is- Man City to beat Tottenham or over 2.5 goals in the game.

Both teams started their campaign on an impressive note, with City beating Wolves 4-0 and Spurs winning 3-0 against Burnley. 

Whatever happens, though,  one or both of these teams will lose their 100% record after this game. 

However, we fancy that it might be Spurs. Despite winning last week, it is hard to see Thomas Frank’s men picking anything from the game. 

The team is thin, and they have not brought in proper replacements to shore up the squad. The Lilywhites were hit by a double blow this week, losing their primary transfer target Eberechi Eze to Arsenal and Dejan Kulusevski to injury. 

They will also be without James Maddison, who is set to miss the whole season due to a knee injury he picked up in pre-season. 

In contrast, City look like a team ready to reclaim their throne, which they lost to Liverpool last season. 

Pep Guardiola’s men displayed a statement of intent with a strong performance against Wolves last week and will look to do the same. 

They also do not have any major injuries ahead of the clash, which explains why everything points to a City win. 

The Cityzens are favoured to win, with Guardiola’s men priced at 1.49 to win the match. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.47, according to odds from Housebets. 

However, it is important to note that City have only won four of their last 12 Premier League games against Spurs. 

Arsenal vs Leeds United 

Our pick- Arsenal to win.

Both Arsenal and Leeds United secured a laboured 1-0 win in their opening games. 

The Gunners beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, while Leeds marked their return with a win over Everton at Elland Road. 

However, Arsenal know their performance has to improve from last weekend. The good news for them is that Leeds is the perfect opposition this weekend. 

Anything other than a win on Saturday will be a big blow and will send warning signs, even though it is just the second game of the season. 

The Gunners are on a mission to win the Premier League season, and they cannot afford to drop points in games like this, especially early in the campaign. 

Arsenal have a good home record against newly-promoted sides in the Premier League, as they are unbeaten in 42 straight games against teams in this category. 

Mikel Arteta’s men are the clear favourites, with the Gunners backed at 1.27 to get the job done easily. 

Levante vs Barcelona 

Our pick- Barcelona to win.

Barcelona will be looking to make it two wins out of two when they travel to Levante. 

Hansi Flick’s men got their title defence off to a good start with a 3-0 win at Real Mallorca last weekend. 

They will now look to replicate the same performance when they take on a Levante side that lost 2-1 to Alaves in their opener. 

It is unlikely that Levante will get their first league win of the season against Barca, as they have only won six of their last 45 matches against Barcelona. 

As for the Catalan giants, they will feel confident of getting the three points, but they cannot afford to be complacent. 

Barca are favoured at 1.26 to win the match, while over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.37.

AC Milan vs Cremonese 

Our pick- AC Milan.

AC Milan start a new life under Massimiliano Allegri, in what is the Italian manager’s second spell with the Rossoneri. 

The Italian giants missed out on Europe last season after a disappointing finish, but will hope to get off to a good start against Cremonese in their first league game of the season. 

Cremonese are back in Italy’s top flight again, but their record on opening day is poor. The Grigiorossi have lost all their games on the opening day of the Serie A season and are winless in their last eight trips to Milan. 

A win for the Allegri’s men is the logical bet here, and you can back them at 1.34 at Housebets.

Lyon vs Metz 

Our pick- Lyon to win.

Lyon will aim to continue their good start when they welcome Metz to Groupama Stadium on Saturday night. 

Les Gones started their campaign with a win at Lens and will be looking to back up the victory with a win over a Metz side that lost to Strasbourg. However, Lyon have lost their two opening home league fixtures. It is highly unlikely that it will be three as Lyon have won nine out of their last 13 Ligue 1 encounters against Metz. 

Lyon are priced at 1.42 to get the job done.
