Everton open their Premier League campaign at Hill Dickinson Stadium with David Moyes at the helm, and the early signs point to a narrow home advantage. The Toffees have had a productive pre-season, including a 1-1 draw with Lille, and will be eager to make a strong start in front of their own fans. Crystal Palace, beginning a new era under Pierre Sage, showed promise with a 2-1 friendly win over Fulham, but integrating new ideas takes time. Everton's expected 4-4-2 shape, built around the physical presence of Tarkowski and the attacking threat of Beto, should give them the edge in a contest that is likely to be tight. Palace will look to be compact and hit on the break, but the Toffees' home solidity and set-piece prowess should see them edge a low-scoring affair.

This is a finely balanced Premier League opener between two newly promoted sides, with the odds reflecting that parity. Ipswich, under new boss Gary O'Neil, have attacking depth with Jack Clarke, Daizen Maeda and Jaden Philogene, but integrating a host of new signings takes time. Sunderland, meanwhile, impressed in pre-season with a 2-1 win over Rennes and have a settled, competitive squad that knows how to grind out results. The visitors' defensive unit, marshalled by experienced heads, should be able to contain Ipswich's new-look attack. Sunderland's recent pedigree in the Championship and their ability to perform away from home gives them a slight edge in what promises to be a tight, tactical contest at Portman Road.

Nottingham Forest host Leeds in a Premier League opener that sees the home side as marginal favourites. Forest have a solid squad with the likes of Gibbs-White, Murillo and Milenkovic, and they will be boosted by the return of European football to the City Ground. New manager Oliver Glasner has a reputation for organised, high-pressing football, and he will be keen to make a strong first impression. Leeds, under Daniel Farke, are a dangerous attacking side with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line, but they can be vulnerable defensively. Forest's home advantage and the quality of their squad should give them the edge in a closely contested match. The absence of captain Ryan Yates is a blow, but the squad has enough depth to cope.

Blackburn host Middlesbrough in a Championship fixture where the visitors are clear favourites according to the odds. Middlesbrough have a stronger squad and recent pedigree in the division, and they have started the season well with a 2-1 win over Lincoln City. Will Lankshear has been in fine form, scoring all of his team's three goals this season, and he will be a constant threat to the Blackburn defence. Blackburn, despite a 3-0 friendly win over Barnsley, have struggled for consistency at Ewood Park and will be missing key players through injury. Middlesbrough's superior quality and attacking options should prove decisive, and they are expected to control the game and come away with all three points.

Derby host Cardiff in a Championship fixture where the home side are clear favourites. Derby have a solid squad and home advantage at Pride Park, and they will be eager to bounce back from their EFL Cup defeat to Lincoln City. John Eustace has built a competitive team that is difficult to beat, particularly on their own patch. Cardiff, meanwhile, have been dealing with injuries and a lack of squad depth, and their recent 1-1 draw with Wrexham suggests they are still finding their feet. Derby's physicality and direct style should cause problems for a Cardiff side that has struggled defensively. Expect the Rams to control the tempo and edge a tight contest in front of their home fans.

Swansea host Sheffield United in a Championship fixture that looks evenly matched on paper. Swansea have home advantage and a possession-based style that can control games, but they suffered a defeat to Birmingham City in the EFL Cup and will be looking to bounce back. Sheffield United, under Chris Wilder, are a direct and physical side, but their recent form has been poor, with a lack of creativity and goals. The Blades recorded the fewest shots in the league on the opening day, which is a major concern. Swansea's ability to keep the ball and dictate the tempo should frustrate Sheffield United, and the home side's quality in wide areas could prove decisive. Expect a tight, low-scoring game with Swansea edging it.

AFC Wimbledon host Reading in a League One fixture that looks extremely evenly matched on paper. Both sides have made solid starts to the season, and the odds reflect a genuine toss-up. Wimbledon have home advantage and a physical, direct style that can be difficult to deal with, particularly at Plough Lane. Reading, however, have quality in their squad and will be confident of getting a result on their travels. With both teams likely to cancel each other out in midfield, this could easily end in a share of the spoils. Wimbledon's recent home form has been solid, but Reading's attacking threat should ensure they get on the scoresheet. A draw looks the most likely outcome in a tight, competitive contest.

Bromley welcome Cambridge United to Hayes Lane for their first-ever home fixture in the third tier, and they will be full of confidence after a surprise 1-0 victory over Barnsley on the opening day. Andy Woodman's side have momentum and the backing of a passionate home crowd, which could prove crucial. Cambridge also made a winning start with a narrow 3-2 win over Wigan, showing they have goals in them, but they are likely to face a stern test against a Bromley side that is physical and well-organised. The home side's direct style and set-piece threat could be the difference. Expect a tight game, but Bromley's home advantage and confidence should see them edge it.

MK Dons host Huddersfield in a League One fixture that is extremely difficult to call. Both sides have had mixed starts to the season, and the odds reflect the uncertainty. MK Dons have home advantage and will be eager to make amends for their recent defensive frailties, having failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last nine league games. Huddersfield, despite missing the suspended Bali Mumba, have greater strength in depth and a more experienced squad. However, their away form has been inconsistent. With both teams likely to be cautious and cancel each other out, a draw looks a very plausible outcome. Expect a tight, tactical contest with few clear-cut chances.

Peterborough host Mansfield in a League One fixture where the visitors are slight favourites. Mansfield have made a strong start to the season, winning their opening games, and they will be full of confidence. Peterborough, meanwhile, have been dealt a blow with the suspension of David Okagbue and several key injuries, which weakens their defensive options. Mansfield's physical and direct style, under Nigel Clough, could cause problems for a depleted Peterborough backline. The visitors also have momentum and a clear game plan. Expect Mansfield to control the game and come away with a narrow victory, though Peterborough's home crowd could make it a tense affair.

Stevenage host Oxford in a League One fixture where the home side are marginal favourites. Stevenage are a well-organised, physical side under Alex Revell, and they will be desperate to pick up their first league victory of the season in front of their home fans. Oxford, under Aaron Ramsey, have shown some promise but have struggled for consistency, with a late equaliser against MK Dons their only league goal so far. Stevenage's home form has been solid, and their direct style could unsettle an Oxford side that prefers to play out from the back. Expect a tight, competitive game with Stevenage edging it through their set-piece threat and home advantage.

Wigan host Leyton Orient in a League One fixture where the home side are favourites. Wigan, under Gary Caldwell, have a solid squad and will be eager to bounce back from their opening-day defeat. They have a strong home record at the Brick Community Stadium and will be confident of getting their season up and running. Leyton Orient, meanwhile, also lost on the opening day and have struggled for consistency. Wigan's expected 3-5-2 formation, with wing-backs providing width, should cause problems for the Orient defence. Expect Wigan to control the game and come away with a much-needed victory in front of their home fans.

Wycombe host Plymouth in a League One fixture that looks evenly matched on paper. Wycombe have home advantage and a physical, direct style that is difficult to deal with at Adams Park. They will be looking to bounce back from a narrow defeat to Blackpool, and the return of key players should boost their chances. Plymouth, under Wayne Rooney, have shown promise but have been inconsistent, with a narrow win over Stockport their only victory so far. Wycombe's set-piece threat and the physical presence of their forwards could prove decisive. Expect a tight, competitive game with Wycombe edging it through their home advantage and direct approach.

Brentford host Tottenham in a London derby that promises to be a closely-fought affair. Brentford have been a tough nut to crack at the Gtech Community Stadium, and their 7-0 demolition of Eintracht Frankfurt in pre-season shows they have goals in them. However, they will be missing key players through injury. Tottenham, under Roberto De Zerbi, have spent heavily but have fitness concerns over several key players, including Pedro Porro and Micky van de Ven. The last five Premier League meetings between these sides at this venue have produced four draws, and this game has the hallmarks of another tight, tactical encounter. Both teams have quality but are likely to cancel each other out, making a draw the most probable outcome.

Parma host Cagliari in a Serie A season opener that sees the home side as slight favourites. Parma have had a productive pre-season, including a 2-0 win over Catania in the Coppa Italia, and will be eager to make a strong start in front of their home fans. Cagliari, under Fabio Pisacane, have also had a solid pre-season, staying unbeaten and keeping clean sheets, but they have lost key midfielder Gianluca Gaetano. Parma's attacking options, including the promising teenage forward Simone Lontani, should give them the edge. Expect a tight, tactical contest with Parma edging it through their home advantage and attacking quality.

Toulouse host Lyon in a Ligue 1 opener that sees the visitors as clear favourites. Lyon have had a strong pre-season, including a 3-0 win over Sparta Prague in Champions League qualification, and they have a squad full of quality, with the likes of Lois Openda and Corentin Tolisso. Toulouse, under a new manager, are still finding their feet and will be facing a Lyon side that is already several matches into their season. Lyon's superior quality and match sharpness should prove decisive. Expect Lyon to control the game and come away with a comfortable victory, though Toulouse's home crowd could make it a tense affair.
