Bologna vs Lazio
Both teams head into this opening Serie A fixture in underwhelming form, with Bologna losing each of their last two friendly fixtures and Lazio starting their 2026/27 campaign with a shock 2-0 loss to Mantova in the Coppa Italia.
As a result, both teams will be eager to get bounce back and get their Serie A campaigns underway with a win, and we are backing the away side to claim all three points in this encounter.
Lazio have won each of the last two encounters with Bologna, albeit one was on penalties after a 1-1 draw, including each of the last two matches at Bologna’s home ground, leading us to predict the away side to win.
Lazio to win, 3.40 – 5NKDQRX
Roma vs Fiorentina
Roma have had a mixed pre-season, winning just one of their last five matches, alongside two draws and two defeats, while Fiorentina have already started their 2026/27 season with a commanding 4-1 win against Benevento in the Coppa Italia.
However, Roma remain the favourites heading into this meeting, especially given the hosts have won each of the last three encounters with Fiorentina, as well as winning six and drawing two of the last six clashes at their home ground.
With that in mind, we are backing Roma to extend their formidable home record against Fiorentina by claiming the victory.
Roma to win, 1.63 – 5NKDXWM
Fulham vs Chelsea
Joao Pedro heads into the opening game of Chelsea’s 2026/27 English Premier League season off the back of a stunning pre-season campaign, finding the back of the net seven times in five appearances for Chelsea.
In addition to his impressive scoring form, Pedro has consistently started seasons in goalscoring form in recent years, including two goals in the opening three games of 2025/26, two goals in the opening three games of 2024/25 and a goal on the opening day in 2023/24.
Given Pedro’s current scoring form and knack for getting English Premier League campaign’s off to scoring starts, we are backing the Brazilian to find the back of the net against Fulham.
Joao Pedro to score anytime, 2.50 – 5NKF5Y5
Malaga vs Deportivo La Coruna
Malaga and Deportivo La Coruna, both promoted to La Liga from La Liga 2 last season, meet on matchday two of the 2026/27 season on Monday, with both eager to secure their first victories against potential relegation rivals.
Malaga have the upper hand heading into this match due to the home advantage, where they have won two and drawn one of their last three clashes with Deportivo La Coruna, while they have won three and drawn three of the last six encounters altogether.
Given Malaga’s recent dominance in this meeting, combined with boasting the home advantage, we are backing the hosts to claim the win here.
Malaga to win, 2.55 – 5NKFH5M
Combined Booking Code: 5NKFNCK, Odds: 35.33
