Manchester United vs Liverpool - Over 2.5 goals

It may not be a surprise to see such high odds on over 2.5 goals when Manchester United and Liverpool re-ignite their fierce rivalry this Saturday. Neither side enter the game in strong form going forwards but when the two have met in the past such issues have often gone out of the window.

Many may well predict a low scoring draw but only one of last 23 competitive meetings between the sides has ended in a stalemate. Instead the two tend to play out high scoring, entertaining affairs, with each of the last 8 meetings between the sides at Old Trafford seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Odds of 2.10 on another repeat seem very appealing.

Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona - Barcelona to win

They may not be firing on all cylinders this season, recording back-to-back 1-0 wins in the league, but Barcelona are still title favourites, and for good reason. An away match against Atletico is no easy task, with Diego Simeone's men also yet to concede thus far, but Barcelona's record against the rojiblancos speaks for itself.

The blaugrana haven't suffered a defeat in domestic action against this Saturday's hosts in 14 meetings, winning 10 of those. Among said victories 4 have come in this calendar year, doing the double over Atleti in La Liga last season and winning both legs of the Copa del Rey quarter-final back in January. With odds of 2.30 on the champions, you won't see much higher all season.

Hannover 96 vs Borussia Dortmund - Dortmund win to nil

It's been a sensational start to the season for Thomas Tuchel's Dortmund, already looking to have righted many of the wrongs that had crept into their game towards the end of Jurgen Klopp's reign. Die Schwarzgelben sit top of the Bundesliga having picked up maximum points from their opening three matches, scoring 11 and conceding just 1.

That spells trouble for Hannover, who have picked up just 1 point this season and failed to score in back-to-back defeats. The odds on the league leaders earning their third victory without conceding of the season then sit at a very tempting 2.60 with Bet365.

Nice vs Guingamp - Nice & over 2.5 goals

This may not be one of the bigger games of the weekend in France but the odds on this particular bet are just too hard to resist. Hosts Nice enter the game as the league's entertainers thus far, with 14 goals in their 4 matches, while Guingamp have had a tough start despite an excellent win over Marseille.

There were a whopping 12 goals scored in the two meetings between these two sides last season, so given Nice's propensity to both score and concede plenty of goals this time around, odds of 2.35 on over 2.5 goals are huge. If you think home advantage could be telling then Nice to win with at least three goals scored in the game raises the odds significantly to 4.00. 

Inter vs AC Milan - Inter & under 2.5 goals

Sunday's meeting between Inter and AC Milan is undoubtedly the biggest of the Serie A season so far, with both sides splashing the cash in the transfer window after terrible campaigns last time out. The fierce local rivals may have bolstered their attacks this season but their new line-ups remain in their infancy, and both will need time to settle.

Looking back at the meetings between the sides, there is never much to choose between the two and they have played out some pretty underwhelming games in recent seasons. Each of the last 6 league meetings between these Milan rivals have seen under 2.5 goals scored, with odds of 1.75 on a reoccurrence. However, with Inter coming into the game as slight favourites, with more of a clear plan than the visitors, adding the hosts to win to your under 2.5 bet brings the odds up to a massive 4.50.
