class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>For the first time in 17 years Barcelona begin a La Liga season without Lionel Messi and their opponents on Sunday are likely to cause them problems

It has been a tumultuous summer for Barcelona but the start of the new La Liga season offers a chance for Ronald Koeman’s side to try and put Lionel Messi’s departure behind them.

The Catalans welcome Real Sociedad to Camp Nou on Sunday evening and know they will face a stern test against one of the division’s most impressive sides last term.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad latest odds

Barcelona boast an extraordinary home record against the team from the city of San Sebastian with La Real’s last victory at Camp Nou coming in 1991.

Sociedad are priced at 7/2 (4.50) with bet365 to end the 30-year wait for a win, while the hosts are offered at 8/11 (1.72) a price that will surely attract attention.

The draw can be backed at 3/1 (4.00).

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad team news

Problems off the field mean that Barcelona have been so far unable to register three of their new signings.

Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay are fit and ready to make their debuts for Barca but the club are unlikely to have registered them in time for the clash.

The other new face Sergio Aguero has picked up an injury and will not be registered until he is fully fit.

The absence of Depay will be keenly felt, with the departure of Messi and the injuries to Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati making Antoine Griezmann and Martin Braithwaite the only fit forwards available.

La Real meanwhile had three players competing with Spain at the Olympics and it remains to be seen whether Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal and Martin Zubimendi will feature.

Full-back Diego Rico is injured for the visitors as is new signing goalkeeper Matthew Ryan.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad preview

Barca are at their lowest ebb for many years, with the loss of Messi set to have a major impact on the side.

Last season he led the team in goals scored, assists, shots per game, dribbles per game, as well as several other metrics and the side will have to find a new way of playing without the man who has been their attacking fulcrum for over a decade.

La Real meanwhile will feel they may never have a better chance to end their long winless streak at Camp Nou, with Imanol Alguacil boasting an extremely talented squad and facing a Blaugrana side low on confidence.

Last season the Basques were one of the top scoring sides in the division as well as being one of the best attacking outfits and there should be plenty of interest in backing them to find the back of the net on Sunday.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/7 (1.57) but more appealing is backing Real Sociedad to score in the first half at 5/4 (2.25).

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>With Jansen's men struggling after losing some key players, Al Hain-Cole is backing the Hoops to continue their fine form with a Europa League win

Celtic will be looking to extend their winning streak when they welcome AZ to Glasgow for Wednesday’s Europa League qualification play-off.

After failing to win any of his first four games in charge during a difficult start to life at Parkhead, Ange Postecoglou has now overseen four wins in a row.

Celtic vs AZ latest odds

With confidence high, Celtic are even money (2.00) favourites with bet365 to continue that fine form by coming out on top here.

AZ have lost four of their last five away matches in this competition but can be backed at 13/5 (3.60) to take the upper hand in this clash by emerging victorious.

Two of the visitors’ last three Europa League fixtures have resulted in draws, and there are odds of 5/2 (3.50) on them playing out another stalemate in this one.

Celtic vs AZ team news

Ryan Christie will face a late fitness test and Christopher Jullien is ruled out due to injury, although Liel Abada should be back in contention.

Owen Wijndal is unlikely to feature as he struggles with a groin problem, while Jesper Karlsson will miss out due to suspension.

Celtic vs AZ preview

While the Hoops are in high spirits after their fourth win in succession against Hearts – a run that has seen them score 16 goals along the way – their opponents come into this clash with morale fairly low.

Having achieved an impressive third-placed finish in his first season at the helm last campaign, Pascal Jansen has seen key players Myron Boadu and Calvin Stengs leave this summer and faces a battle to keep hold of captain Teeun Koopmeiners.

After opening the new Eredivisie season with a disappointing 1-0 defeat to RKC Waalwijk, his team will be up against it to turn things around against their high-flying opponents.

Celtic vs AZ predictions

Realistically, a Celtic side that have already played seven more matches of competitive football so far this season and finds themselves in strong form look well worth backing at even money (2.00) to see off an AZ team that have struggled on the road in European competition at the best of times.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The side from north London travel to northern Portugal for their first European match of the season and should return with a comfortable victory

Tottenham travel to the Estadio da Capital do Movel on Thursday evening for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League play-off against Pacos de Ferreira. 

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side began the Premier League in superb fashion at the weekend by defeating Manchester City 1-0 and the new manager will be hoping his side can carry that momentum into European competition. 

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham latest odds

This will be the hosts’ sixth competitive match of the season having already played two games to get to this stage of UEFA Conference League qualifying as well as three official domestic encounters. 

Pacos de Ferreira, who finished fifth in the Primeira Liga last season, are offered at 9/2 (5.50) by bet365, while Spurs can be backed at 4/7 (1.57) and the draw at 3/1 (4.00) .

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham team news

The north Londoners are likely to make some changes to the side that played on Sunday against Manchester City and there could be first starts for new signings Bryan Gil and Cristian Romero.

Harry Kane did not play at the weekend, and the Man City-linked striker will again be missing in Portugal.

The hosts, meanwhile, have no major injury concerns heading into the game and are likely to field as strong a side as possible in what is one of their biggest ever matches. 

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham preview

Sunday’s performance from Spurs against Manchester City was extremely impressive with Nuno’s side deserved winners against Pep Guardiola’s team.

Another tough game awaits in the Premier League this weekend against the manager’s former club Wolves and there is little doubt that Nuno will rotate his squad.

Nevertheless, Spurs should still be too strong against a team making their European debut and who were roundly beaten 3-0 by Boavista at the weekend.

A scare in Bulgaria aside, Spurs were pretty comfortable in their Europa League qualifying matches last season and backing them to get the job done with the minimum of fuss should certainly be of interest. 

Pacos de Ferreira vs Tottenham tips & predictions

Spurs scored over 1.5 goals in 12 of their 14 European games last season and backing them to do so once more and claim a win is available at the healthy price of evens (2.00) .

After failing to qualify for the Champions League, Rangers will be hoping to secure a place in the Europa League group stage when they welcome Alashkert to Ibrox on Thursday.

Steven Gerrard’s men were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers in bitterly disappointing fashion, losing 2-1 away before throwing away a 1-0 lead in the second leg to lose 2-1 to 10-man Malmo.

Rangers vs Alashkert latest odds

However, Rangers are clear 1/8 (1.13) favourites with bet365 to take control of this tie by coming out on top in the first leg.

Alashkert also dropped out of the Champions League qualifiers in the early qualifying rounds but are available at 16/1 (17.00) to move one step closer to their first group-stage appearance in this competition by pulling off a shock win in Glasgow.

The visitors beat Kairat after extra-time following two draws in the last round, and you can get odds of 7/1 (8.00) on them playing out a third successive stalemate in this competition.

Glen Kamara and Kemar Roofe remain unavailable due to suspension, while Ryan Jack and Nnamdi Ofoborh remain injured, and Fashion Sakala will be assessed after missing the League Cup win over Dunfermline with a  groin strain.

Having rested a number of key players in Sunday’s league defeat to Van, Aleksandr Grigoryan will welcome the likes of Artak Grigoryan, David Khurtsidze and Jose Embalo back into the line-up.

Rangers vs Alashkert preview

After a run of three consecutive defeats, the Gers will have been delighted to stop the rot with a much-needed emphatic cup win over Dunfermline at the weekend.

They should be confident of getting another comfortable victory against Thursday’s visitors, who have gone six matches without a win in normal time in all competitions.

Knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers 4-1 on aggregate by Moldovan side Sheriff, the Armenian champions have also begun the defence of their title in uninspiring fashion – losing two games from two by a combined scoreline of 5-0.

Rangers vs Alashkert predictions

Having lost just two of their last 24 home games in the Europa League, a reinvigorated Rangers look well worth 6/5 (2.20) odds to beat an out-of-form Alashkert by at least three goals.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The side from the French capital are clear favourites to record a win but there could be interest in opposing them to keep a clean sheet in Brittany

Paris Saint-Germain play their third match of the Ligue 1 season on Friday evening when they travel to the Stade Francis Le-Ble to face Brest.

Lionel Messi looks set to make his debut for his new club next weekend, but without the Argentine, PSG have still managed to make a 100 per cent league start, beating both Troyes and Strasbourg.

However, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have conceded in both of those matches, suffering some nervy moments, and they will be hoping for a more solid showing against a Brest side who have impressively drawn their two opening games.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain latest odds

PSG have won each of their last nine meetings with the side from Brittany and bet365 offer the capital club at 1/5 (1.20).

The hosts ended last season in 17th place and Brest can be backed at 11/1 (12.00) to pull off what would be a major shock.

The draw can be backed at 13/2 (7.50).

The hosts remain without long-term injury absentees Paul Lasne and Sebastien Cibois but full-back Jerome Uronen should be fit enough to start despite taking a knock to the ankle in last week’s draw against Rennes.

PSG, meanwhile, remain without both Messi and Neymar, while Sergio Ramos is still not fit enough for his debut and Juan Bernat remains unavailable.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain preview

Brest have made a resilient start to the campaign, claiming a creditable 1-1 draw against Lyon before scoring in injury time to record the same scoreline against Rennes.

Despite battling against relegation last term Brest regularly found the back of the net in their own stadium with Michel Der Zakarian’s team netting in 17 of their last 20 home matches in Ligue 1.

Meanwhile, PSG are yet to keep a clean sheet this term in the league with the side also losing the French Super Cup 1-0 to Lille.

There should therefore be some interest in backing the hosts to at least get on the score sheet, although an away win looks the most likely outcome.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain tips & predictions

Both teams to score is priced at 4/5 (1.80) while the odds rise to 7/5 (2.40) if we combine this selection with an away win.

PSG to win and both teams to score has paid out comfortably in both of the Paris outfit’s league encounters this term and looks a strong selection once more.

Southampton vs Manchester United – Man Utd to win at 4/7 (1.57)

Having dealt out 3-2 and a record-equalling 9-0 defeats to Southampton last season, Manchester United will be confident of coming out on top at St Mary’s after their impressive 5-1 opening league win over Leeds.

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men look in poor shape after losing some key players over the summer and suffering a 3-1 defeat to Everton in their opener, making 4/7 (1.57) odds seem generous on the Red Devils collecting three points here.

Bournemouth vs Blackpool – Bournemouth to win at 8/13 (1.62)

Scott Parker has enjoyed a strong start to life at Bournemouth, winning three and losing none of his first four competitive matches since leaving Fulham for the south coast.

With confidence high, his side look well worth 8/13 (1.62) odds to overcome a newly-promoted Blackpool team that has claimed just one point from the first available nine since returning to the Championship.

Forest Green Rovers vs Crawley Town – Forest Green to win at 17/20 (1.85)

After only missing out on promotion in last season’s League Two play-offs, Forest Green Rovers look like they mean business following three wins from their opening three league games.

Having also upset Championship outfit Bristol City in a penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup, they are surely worth backing at 17/20 (1.85) odds to defeat a Crawley side that has taken just nine points from 36 league matches on the road.

Northampton vs Rochdale – Northampton to win at 21/20 (2.05)

Despite suffering relegation from League One last season, Northampton picked up as many home victories as promotion-chasing Charlton – winning five of their last eight league matches in their own backyard.

Having started this season with three wins from three, including away at Coventry of the Championship in the cup, they offer strong value at 21/20 (2.05) when they face a Rochdale team with just one point to their name from three games.
