League football made its long-awaited return this weekend following the two-week international break, bringing back the thrill and entertainment of club football that fans had been craving.
However, the action does not stop there, as several of Europe’s top leagues are set to wrap up their matchday rounds with some mouthwatering fixtures still to come later today.
Cremonese vs Udinese
Cremonese have had a positive start to their first year back in Serie A, sitting 10th in the standings with nine points, after two wins, three draws and only one defeat in their opening six matches.Udinese have a similar record in Serie A, placed 12th in the table with eight points from their six fixtures, having recorded two wins, two draws and two defeats.
Both have also been involved in a mass of goals in their first six matches, with Cremonese scoring seven and conceding eight in their first six league games, while Udinese have scored six and conceded nine in their opening six fixtures.
With that in mind, we expect this game to follow that trend with at least 1.5 goals scored.Over 1.5 goals, 1.36
West Ham vs Brentford
Igor Thiago has had an impressive start to the season for Brentford, replacing Yoane Wissa as the starting striker with brilliant effect, as the Brazilian has already scored four league goals in seven matches, as well as five in eight games across all competitions.The forward scored twice against Manchester United and should have followed that with another against Manchester City before the international break, only for his effort to be stopped by the world-class Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Now set to come up against a West Ham United side that have conceded a massive 16 goals in seven league fixtures, we believe the forward will have plenty of opportunities, and given his strong scoring form, we expect Thiago to get on the scoresheet here.Igor Thiago to score anytime, 2.85
Alaves vs Valencia
Alaves finished 15th in La Liga last term and narrowly two points above the drop zone, but they have enjoyed a significantly improved start to the new campaign, currently residing in 10th place in La Liga with 11 points after eight matches, from three wins, two draws and three defeats.They have been at their best at their home ground so far this season, managing two wins, one draw and only one defeat from their four home fixtures in La Liga, leaving them full of confidence heading into this one.
Their opponents, Valencia, have struggled at the beginning of this season, sitting 15th in the standings with eight points after two wins, two draws and four defeats, leaving them just two points above the drop zone.
The visitors have now been defeated in each of their last two matches heading into this one, and combined with their miserable away record of one draw and three defeats from four league matches on the road, we are expecting a comfortable home win.Alaves to win, 2.30

Eyupspor vs Kasimpasa Istanbul
Eyupspor have had a miserable start to the Turkish Super Lig season, managing only one win, two draws and five defeats from their first eight league matches, leaving them inside the relegation zone in 16th with just five points.
In comparison, Kasimpasa initially lost all of their first three league fixtures, but a significant upturn in form has seen today’s visitors win two and draw three of their last five fixtures, leaving them 11th in the standings heading into this one.Given the visitors’ superior form coming into this game, especially on the road as they have claimed two wins, one draw and only one loss from four away matches, we expect Kasimpasa to claim all three points here.
Kasimpasa Istanbul to win, 3.10
