@ 9/1 Manchester City WIN 27/20 – Liverpool WIN 23/20 – ZALIKA WIN 1/1
Manchester City vs Dortmund (HOME WIN) 27/20 – Manchester City head into this one off the back of a successful domestic season where they clinched the title with a whopping 100 points. Pep Guardiola has instilled a philosophy that players believe in and it has worked wonders. We could see Riyad Mahrez making his debut after switching from Leicester City. Kevin de Bruyne, so instrumental for Belgium in the World Cup, is on holiday. Borussia Dortmund have lost several players in recent years with Sokratis Papastathopoulos being the latest one to join the likes of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Ilkay Gundogan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Premier League. Back the English side to triumph.
Liverpool vs Dortmund (HOME WIN) 23/20 – Jordan Henderson, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet are scheduled to report for Liverpool duty on August 5 due to World Cup action. Roberto Firmino is not available for this one. This will give Jurgen Klopp a chance to use newly-signed Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita. From a Dortmund perspective, they will be playing their second match in two days in a different time of the day. The coach must make major changes to the line-up and you get the feeling that the only psychological boost they have is that they’re playing a weakened Liverpool side. Still, the Reds should come out on top.
Bayern Munich vs PSG (AWAY WIN) 2/1 – We are all eager to find out what Niko Kovac has in store for Bayern Munich. The Croatian manager was brought in from Eintracht Frankfurt to replace Jupp Heynckes. The Bavarians must also be delighted to hear that midfielder Arturo Vidal is back in training after missing the final part of last season due to a knee injury. PSG will also be playing under a new manager as Thomas Tuchel has taken over the reins from Unai Emery. Kylian Mbappe is on a break after helping France to World Cup glory. The world’s most expensive player, Neymar, is back from injury and he played for Brazil in the World Cup. At 2/1, Tuchel is tipped to beat Kovac in this tricky encounter.
