Tottenham at Brentford
The Sunday morning action gets started with a tilt between Brentford and Tottenham. This one kicks off at 9:00 a.m. ET from Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford.
Last year’s matchday 37 featured at least one surprising result as Brentford smoked Tottenham 3-1 in London. Harry Kane got the action started with an early goal (8’) while the Bees stormed back with a trio of second-half tallies. Kane is off to Bayern Munich this season so there will be a void to fill for the Spurs without their former captain.
Tottenham loves the run-and-gun strategy and that often leads to issues on the backend. That was exemplified by the fact that they surrendered 63 goals last year, which was the sixth-most in the top flight of English soccer. It was the most amongst teams that finished inside of the top 14 teams in the table. They didn’t do much to fortify the midfield and defense, which should offer plenty of opportunities for Brentford to net at least one goal. I don’t mind laying the juice with this BTTS play.
Bet: Both Teams To Score (-165)
Liverpool at Chelsea
The Sunday nightcap features a battle between two storied franchises in the PL: Chelsea and Liverpool. Kickoff for this match is set for 11:30 a.m. ET from Stamford Bridge in London.
The Blues are coming off of a very underwhelming campaign last year as they finished 12th in the top flight of English soccer. Goals were tough to come by for Chelsea considering they scored just 38 times. They failed to score in both of their matchups with Liverpool; however, both matches ended in 0-0 draws.
With Liverpool missing out on UCL play, I’m expecting them to put together a dominant year where they take the domestic league by storm. This includes starting off hot against a Chelsea side that’s basically in soccer limbo right now. I’ll gladly bet on the better manager in Jurgen Klopp, to collect the three points here. Their attack is much more polished with Mo Salah at the helm, and we’ve also seen the emergence of Darwin Nunez recently. Finally, it’s worth noting that Liverpool is 8-2-0 in their last 10 season-opening matches.
Bet: Liverpool Moneyline (+135)
