Friday night football comes to the Premier League for the first time tonight as Man Utd travel to Birmingham to take on Aston Villa in 1 of 3 big matches to be played this evening. In Spain, Barcelona visit Bilbao for the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup while Bayern Munich get the Bundesliga underway with a visit of Hamburg who won't have fond memories of their last visit to Bavaria which saw the hamburgers (b)eat 8.0 I fancy goals in all 3 of our games and have 2 doubles to try tonight but not much time for a big write up unfortunately. Aston Villa v Man Utd - Prediction - 1.2 - Best Bets, BTTS @1/1
My gut feeling here is that it won't be easy for United here with their opening day showing against Spurs pretty poor despite the 1.0 win although I expect enough improvement here to edge them to 3 points against a Villa side that might be a bit stronger this season under Tim Sherwood. 4 of the last 6 meetings at Villa Park have seen BTTS and I fancy a repeat tonight at tasty 1/1 odds with United perhaps nicking it late on. Wayne Rooney has a good record against Villa and he can be backed at 11/10 to score anytime. Bilbao v Barcelona - Prediction 2.2 - Best Bets - BTTS @8/11, BTTS and over 2.5 goals @21/20, Bilbao not to lose @ Having played 120 minutes in Georgia on Tuesday against Sevilla, Barca are sure to be tired and it is possible that there will be 1 or 2 changes to the team that recorded that ridiculous 5.4 success less than 72 hours ago. 4 of the last 6 meetings between the 2 have seen BTTS and I expect a tired Barca to struggle at times against a buoyant home crowd who are sure to be up for this one. Barca have issues at the back and I expect them to concede here and not necessarily win, especially at short odds of 4/9 on. Both to score for me, and more than likely over 2.5 goals with 7 of the last 11 meetings between the 2 sides resulting in that outcome. Bayern v Hamburg - Prediction - Bayern 4.0 Hamburg, Best Bets - Bayern -2 to win @8/11 It might not be as bad as last season for Hamburg but it should be a routine home win for Bayern as they look to kick the season off in style. I'm happy to take a chance on Bayern -2 on the handicap at 8/11 and I expect them to cover it in style.
