This is a five-fold Match Result and Both Teams to Score accumulator, with fixtures coming from the DFB Pokal, Premier League, Coppa Italia, Danish Superliga and La Liga.
The first game on this list comes from DFB Pokal where 3 Liga outfit Sandhausen takes on 2.Bundesliga side Hannover 96.
So far, Sandhausen have played just one match since suffering relegation to the third tier of German football, this game resulted in a 0-0 draw away at VFB Lubeck.
Meanwhile, Hannover 96’s opening two games of the season have both finished as 2-2 draws against the likes of Elversberg and Nurnberg.
Notably, Hannover did the double over Sandhausen last season as they managed a 3-2 away win before beating the hosts 3-1 at the Heinz von Heiden-Arena.
Burnley hosts Manchester City in the opening match of the Premier League season on Friday night, with the Clarets aiming to end a wretched run of form against Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Clarets managed to win the Championship last season as they amassed a total of 101 points from 46 matches. Burnley did actually face City last season in the FA Cup quarter-finals, with the Cityzens running out as 6-0 winners at the Etihad Stadium as Erling Haaland scored a hat-trick.
City started their season with a penalty shootout loss to Arsenal in the Community Shield, despite initially taking a 77th-minute lead through Cole Palmer before a deflected strike from Leandro Trossard levelled the scores at 1-1 in the 101st minute of the game.
In the Coppa Italia, Bologna and Cesena face off in a fixture where the home side are firm favourites to progress.
Bologna managed a win on the opening weekend of the Serie A season as they beat Lecce 3-2 away from home thanks to goals from Marko Arnautovic, Joshua Zirkzee and Lewis Ferguson.
On the other hand, Cesena who ply their trade in Serie C have played one round of the Coppa Italia prior to this fixture which saw them beat Virtus Entella 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
Danish Superliga champions FC Copenhagen goes up against Odense Boldklub at Parken Stadium on Friday night.
Jacob Neestrup’s men have won four of their last five matches, emerging victorious in all four fixtures prior to their 0-0 draw with Sparta Praha last time out having beaten the likes of Randers 4-0, Vejle 3-2, as well as Breidablik 6-3 and 2-0 in Champions League qualifying.
OB have had an inconsistent run of form of late as since their 2-1 win over Horsens in late May, they have suffered 4-2 and 2-1 losses to Midtjylland and Viborg on either side of a 2-2 draw with Randers and a 2-1 win away at Brondby.
The final game on this list comes from La Liga as Sevilla goes head to head with Valencia at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.
Sevilla enter this season as Europa League champions and have recently played two friendly matches against the likes of Atletico Madrid and Real Betis, resulting in a 1-1 draw and a 1-0 win for Jose Luis Mendilibar’s men.
Valencia will be hoping to have a much improved season following last season’s 16th-place finish which also saw them finish just two points above the relegation zone. The Bats have lost some key players having seen Yunus Musah and Edinson Cavani leave and are expected to have another troublesome campaign.
