Derby in France, away tests for APOEL, United and Real Madrid
Sunday's schedule is very demanding and difficult with all the leagues being on the screen of football fans to make the best choices, both in view and for betting purposes.
FULHAM-MANCHESTER UNITED (18:30)
Fulham welcomes Manchester United on Matchday 2 of the Premier League, in a game that combines the need for a first win for the "Red Devils" with Fulham's desire to continue the positive performances.
In the premiere, Fulham drew at home to Brighton 1-1, showing that they have a remarkable team, while United lost at home to Arsenal 1-0. Despite the defeat, the "Red Devils" were competitive, created significant chances and may have been better than the Gunners, but they did not manage to convert them into goals.
United enters the game as favourites and is called upon to confirm this, celebrating the first victory of the season, while Fulham wants to continue the good performances with the long-term goal of repeating or surpassing last year's course.
In the premiere of the Cypriot championship, CSF welcomes APOEL in a game that is awaited with great interest. The blue and yellows, with new coach Pablo Garcia, want to start strongly away from home and make a right foot in the new league, showing from the first matchday that they are aiming high this year, despite the problems that plague the Nicosia team.
CSF, for its part, with the new coach Cedomir Janevski, wants to take advantage of its home ground and start with a positive result, building psychology and self-confidence for the future from early on. Both teams have changed their roster quite a bit in the summer, with several additions, which means that the first match will give a first taste of their consistency and readiness.
A serious motivation for both teams, it goes without saying that APOEL is the favorite for the victory.
On Matchday 2 of Ligue 1, Lille welcomes Monaco in a game that attracts a lot of interest, as both teams have high aspirations for the current season. Lille comes from a sensational 3-3 away draw with Brest, in a match that seemed to be under control. It led twice, first with 0-2 and then with 2-3, but failed to preserve its double lead, letting points "scatter" in the finale. This result showed the weaknesses in the team's defensive stability, but also its ability to create phases and play offensively.
Monaco, for its part, beat Le Havre 3-1 at home. The road to victory was opened with an own goal, but the Principality team showed character, as after the score was reduced, they immediately found the strength to respond and clean up the game.
Today's game is expected to be tight, with Lille looking to restore balance after losing points in the premiere, and Monaco trying to continue their winning streak and show that they can challenge the top. With the motivation for both teams great, fans of French football can expect an exciting and open game full of phases and tensions until the last minute.
REAL OVIEDO-REAL MADRID (22:30)
In Sunday's last game in Spain, Real Oviedo welcomes Real Madrid for the second matchday of the Primera. The "Queen" started the league ideally, beating Osasuna 1-0 with a goal by Kylian Mbappe and wants to make it two out of two, with Xavi Alonso expecting an improved image from his team.
On the other hand, Real Oviedo suffered a 2-0 defeat in the premiere against Villarreal away from home. The hosts will be fighting for survival and their motivation is huge, as they will seek their first victory in the Primera against one of the biggest teams in the world.
The visitors are among the big favorites of the day and are optimistic to leave the home of the newcomer team unscathed.
