The fancies.
This is where we share our weekly match betting fancies, from Champions League accumulators to standout Premier League singles.
Back our 21/1 fourfold this weekend
European football is back in full swing, and we fancy four straight match winners across the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League for a tasty 21/1 return: a top-six side to make a statement at home, two short-priced bankers, and one value pick to push the price out. Four straight results, no complicated markets.
Our strongest fancies
Our three ante-post picks for the weekend, with the reasoning behind each.
Sunderland finished seventh on their return to the top flight, with the fourth-best defensive record in the division. At 13/8 against a newly promoted side, that looks like value.
Coventry earned promotion playing fearless, attacking football. Keep the core of the squad together, add the CBS Arena atmosphere, and there's every chance they pick up enough points to survive.
Villa are unbeaten at home in Europe this season and have the crowd to match the occasion. Bayern have rested key players in a similar away leg before. 6/4 looks a fair price on the hosts.
