Domestic football is set to return this weekend after the international break and while the break has allowed some teams to reset after poor starts to the season, it has only made other teams hungrier for the next match after getting off to a flyer.
As a result, the handicap market is of real interest this weekend as teams could be caught cold after two weeks off, particularly those playing away from home. Check out our football handicap betting tips for the weekend below.
Football handicap betting tips – Our picks
Holsten Kiel vs Bayern Munich – Bayern Munich (-2) @ 7/5
Bayern Munich are no strangers to winning big in the Bundesliga and last season they scored eight goals in two separate league matches and that was in a year they didn't win the title. This season, they have started the season well enough, winning both matches with their second victory coming by a comfortable margin of two goals.
Their opponents this weekend are Holsten Kiel, a club that are playing in the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. They have started their campaign with back-to-back losses and have shipped five goals in the process so the likes of Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala will be licking their lips ahead of this one.
Not only does early season form go against Holsten Kiel here but they may also be simply overawed by the occasion.
Celta Vigo vs Real Valladolid – Celta Vigo (-1) @ 7/4
Celta Vigo have been one of the most fun teams to watch in La Liga so far this season, scoring ten goals in their opening four matches. On the other side of the coin, they have also shipped nine goals, which shouldn't be too much of a corner this weekend given their opponents.
Real Valladolid have had a miserable start to the new season, scoring just one goal in their four matches and conceding ten. Somehow, they have still managed to accumulate four points but the prospect of facing a free-spirited team such as Celta Vigo is likely to concern them this weekend.
Torino vs Lecce – Torino (-1) @ 5/2
Torino have had a brilliant start to the new Serie A season and currently sit in third place following two wins and a draw across their opening three matches. This weekend, they are set to take on Lecce in front of their home fans and given how poorly their opponents have started the season, they should be in for another positive afternoon.
Lecce are currently on three points after three matches and have already tasted defeat twice. They lost 4-0 to Atalanta on the opening day of the season and then lost 2-0 to Inter Milan the week after at the San Siro. They aren't a good away team which makes this a great selection as part of our football handicap betting tips.
