Billi (@SGPSoccer) delivers his Champions 6-Pack, giving you his best bets from his six selected Champions League key games for Matchday 1, including Bayern Munich v Chelsea and Newcastle v Barcelona.It is incomprehensible to think that Howe will send his team out to be as defensive as Champions League football returns to Tyneside on Thursday, so an entertaining game is expected. The Magpies always gave it a go at home during their ill-fated and injury-hit campaign two years ago when they beat Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 on a famous night. Howe’s team are not quite as gung-ho as they were in those days, but they are certainly capable of giving Barcelona - who will be without Lamine Yamal - some problems.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Champions League Futures markets, looking at the Outright Winner, the Top 8 and the 9-24th markets. Liverpool are the market favourites to win the Champions League, above the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and even Paris SG— the reigning Champions.Paris Saint-Germain survived a scare in the league stage of the new-look format last term to collect their first-ever Champions League title with a 5-0 thrashing of Internazionale, the biggest margin of success in a UCL/European Cup final. Billi strongly expects Luis Enrique's to challenge again in May. Premier League winners Liverpool and runners-up Arsenal were each dumped out by the French giants but should again feature in the latter stages of the competition with Manchester City, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham completing the EPL challenge with an aim to finish in the top-24 and avoid early elimination.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks back at United’s fortunate win against Burnley, before moving on to breaking down the Manchester Derby, as United travel to the Emptihad. Despite being only three games into the new Premier League season, Manchester City already find themselves six points off the title pace being set by champions Liverpool and their desperation for victory adds an extra element of spice to this derby duel with a mercurial Manchester United.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks the Serie A Matchday 2 slate, which will open up with the game of the weekend, as Juventus and Inter Milan contest the 245th edition of the Derby d’Italia. Inter have made a mixed start to the new season after a campaign of disappointment last term, where Inter were pipped at the post by Napoli in the Scudetto fight and then lost to Paris Saint-Germain in an incredible one-sided Champions League final.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Matchday 4 EPL slate, which begins with an early kick off on Saturday (7:30AM EST), as Arsenal host Nottingham Forest. Arsenal will be looking to bounce-back from their loss at Anfield, while Forest - who lost four of their six visits to the top six last season - head to the Emirates having recently parted ways with Nuno Espirito Santo. Replacement Ange Postecoglou has had limited time to get to grips with his new squad, and he could begin life at Nottingham Forest with defeat.Saturday will also see Tottenham travelling to West Ham. A game can change everything in football and following a dreadful start to the campaign, West Ham stopped the rot with a 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest before the international break. They will be hoping to build on that result against a Spurs side who were woeful in their 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, amassing just 0.2 expected goals. Tottenham’s loss (especially the manner of it) certainly brought Spurs fans back down to earth, after their great start to the season— which began with two wins from two.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down a number of selected European World Cup qualifiers taking place on Monday and Tuesday before moving on to looking at what’s going on the USMNT— as the pressure continues to pile onto Mauricio Pochettino. This episode also touches NFL Week 1 and Billi outlines why you shouldn’t force plays on it, or any other sport, just because you’re watching it or emotionally invested in the outcome— as it’s a sure-fire way to constantly lose money a lot of money on sports betting.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down a handpicked section of South American and European World Cup qualifiers, with the likes of Argentina, Colombia, France, England and Portugal all featured on this show.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) looks back at United’s midweek humiliation, and looks ahead to tomorrow’s must win game against Burnley. If there was ever a singular visual that could summarise Manchester United’s decline since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure, it was Ruben Amorim being unable to look as the Red Devils lost on penalties to League Two side Grimsby on Wednesday.Plenty of unwelcome records have been set by United in the past year and the pressure is mounting on manager Ruben Amorim. The Clarets could make life even worse for the home side, who have lost eight of their last 13 home Premier League games. Another loss will surely mean we don’t see Amorim return after the international break.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks the Serie A Matchday 2 slate. Inter Milan and Napoli looked like the two most impressive sides on Matchday 1, justifying the fact they sit at the top of the outright winner market. Both are at home this weekend and both are widely expected to make it two wins from two— with both priced up as -300 ML favourites. Victory over Cagliari on the final day of last season was enough to give Napoli the Serie A title by a one-point margin over Inter last season, and the two look like they are going to contest the title once again.

Billi (@SGPSoccer) breaks down the Matchday 3 EPL slate, which will see a very early clash of the titans on Sunday, as Arsenal travel to Anfield to face Liverpool. While the last day of August certainly seems an incredibly early time to be talking about title deciders, there is a strong chance that the winners of Sunday’s game will gain a significant boost in their quest to win this season’s Premier League.This is a fixture that rarely disappoints and another thrilling episode looks likely judging by the way these two teams have started the season. The pair have won both of their opening games, but it is Mikel Arteta’s Gunners who should be heading to Merseyside with a spring in their step following their 5-0 win over Leeds last weekend. That was a win that saw Arsenal installed as the new favourites to win the Premier League, and they remain so— as the bookies did not reinstall Liverpool as the favourites following their win at Newcastle on Monday.
