Tips — Wednesday, 29 July 2026

💬 Tottenham have won both summer games, beating Auckland 2-0 and MK Dons 1-0. Auckland also beat Sydney 1-0 in Sydney's last league game. Sydney have been playing games, and they won 5-1 eight days ago. Spurs have the better players, and a 2-0 win looks the likely score.

💬 Lech won the first meeting 4-1 in Denmark, so they have little reason to force this one. Aarhus have lost just 2 of their last 16 games and are rarely beaten by much. They have lost by 2 or more goals only once in that run. A 1-1 tie looks like the most likely score.

💬 This is a pre-season friendly, so both teams will make plenty of changes. Racing have won 12 of their last 18 games and are playing well. Athletic have won by 2 or more in only 1 of their last 16 games. A 1-1 tie looks the likeliest result.

💬 Vikingur score 3.0 goals a game and have won 17 of their last 20. Hapoel have lost four in a row and let in plenty of goals. Hapoel have to chase this one, which should leave space at the back. A 2-1 win for Vikingur looks the likeliest score.

💬 Craiova are strong at their own ground, with 6 wins from their last 8 there. They have let in only 3 goals in those 8 home games. Levski are tough too, and they have not lost in their last 5 games. Craiova still need a goal here, and a 1-0 win looks likely.

💬 Gornik are hard to beat at their own ground, with 5 wins from their last 6 there. They have lost by 2 or more in only 2 of their last 14 games. Fenerbahçe are the better side, but they have won by 2 or more in only 5 of 17. A 1-1 tie looks the likeliest score here.

💬 Betis games average 2.9 goals in total and Lyon games average 3.0. Neither side has played for more than two months, so both will be rusty. Both managers will make plenty of changes and the game should break up. A 2-1 win for Betis looks the likely result.

💬 Zvezda won their last three games 3-1, 4-0 and 5-0. Their games had 3 or more goals 13 times in the last 15. Larne let in 1.2 goals a game and have ground to make up here. A 2-0 Zvezda win is still the likeliest single score, but this game can go higher.

💬 Slovan lead this tie 2-0 from the first game in Tbilisi. They have won 10 of their last 15 games and let in only 0.7 goals a game. Saburtalo must chase goals now, which should leave space behind them. Slovan won by 2 or more in 6 of their last 15, and a 2-0 looks likely.

💬 Watford score just 0.8 goals a game and rarely look dangerous. Fiorentina are slow and careful, with their games averaging 2.4 goals. Only 3 of Fiorentina's last 17 games had more than 3 goals. A 0-1 win for Fiorentina looks the likely result.

💬 Bristol City rarely lose by big margins, going down by 2 or more just 3 times in 17. Newcastle were far from solid on the road, letting in nearly 2 goals a game. A crowd of over 20,000 at Ashton Gate should lift City. Newcastle still look likely to win this 1-2, so City must stay close.

💬 13 of Osasuna's last 19 games had 3 or more goals. Osasuna lost their last five games but scored in four of them. Ipswich score 1.6 goals a game and have been creating plenty of chances. A 2-1 win for Ipswich looks the likely result.

💬 Burnley have won just 1 of their last 16 games and score 0.9 a game. Espanyol have won only 2 of their last 17. Burnley's games went past 3 goals only 6 times in 16, and Espanyol's only 5 times in 17. A 1-1 tie looks the likely result.

💬 Atletico are missing nine senior players who are away at the World Cup. That leaves them without their main strikers for a friendly played behind closed doors. Getafe are hard to score against and let in just 0.7 goals a game. A 1-1 looks the most likely score, so Getafe should stay close.

💬 Sao Paulo do not give much away at their own ground. Their games have just 2.2 goals in them on average. Santos have tied 8 of their last 18 games, so tight games suit them. A 1-1 looks the most likely score in this derby.

💬 These two nearly always cancel each other out. Seven of their last 11 meetings ended in a tie, averaging 1.9 goals. Chapecoense score just 1.2 goals a game, and Vasco also score 1.2. A 1-1 looks the most likely score here.

💬 Botafogo score 1.8 goals a game, and 12 of their last 18 games had 3 or more goals. Their last 20 meetings with Gremio averaged 3.1 goals in total. Gremio have taken one point from their last four games and look open at the back. A 2-1 Botafogo win looks the most likely score here.

💬 Mirassol have won 7 of their 10 home games and let in only 0.7 goals a game there. Remo are much weaker away, with 3 wins from 9 and almost 2 goals let in per game. Mirassol are missing three players, so the winning margin should stay small. A 1-0 home win looks the most likely score.

💬 Palmeiras have the best defense in the league, letting in just 0.7 goals a game. Vitoria's attack has gone cold, with a 0-2 loss, a 0-0 and a 1-0 win lately. Vitoria also let in only 0.5 goals a game at their own ground. A 1-1 in a tense, tight game is the most likely finish.

💬 These two rarely produce goals together, averaging 2.2 in their last 20 meetings. Fluminense have tied their last three league games 1-1. Bahia's last two games also ended 1-1. A tight 1-0 to Fluminense fits that low scoring pattern.
