Ismaila Sarr's goal of the season contender wasn't enough to preserve Watford's 100% start to the season as West Brom pegged them back for a share of the spoils on Monday.
But The Hornets will be aiming put down a marker tonight against another club who have dropped down from the Premier League, Burnley.
Both clubs head the betting to bounce straight back up and tonight's result could go a long way to determining which, if either, are to make it back to the top flight.
Like Watford, Burnely, under new boss Vincent Kompany, have started with a win and draw. They'd have been disappointed with the two points dropped at home to Luton Town on Saturday, in a game in which they dominated possession, though that result perhaps underlines the rebuild Kompany has on his hands.
Having graduated from the school of Pep, you know that Kompany will put great emphasis on ball retention and that led to a 71% possession stat for the Clarets, which in turn won them 11 corners (to Luton's 2). They also enjoyed 70% possession away to Huddersfield and won that corner count by 5-1.
Watford on the other hand just shaded possession in their opener at home to Sheffield Utd, 53%-47% but managed just 30% at the Hawthorns last time out, failing to win a single corner to Huddersfield's 12.
There's a few potential corner angles in this one; Burnley are 5/6 to win more than 4 corners which feels a bit skinny away from home. They're 13/10 to win 3 or more in the first half, which would be a bit of a punt.
But the stand-out price based on the opening two games (so keep stakes small) is for Burnley to win the corner count at 11/8 with SBK.
Super Single
- Burnley Most Corners 11/8 SBK

ON IT !
Corners were certainly the way to go in Brasil last night…finished with 12 and a 0-0 scoreline which would have seen the Melgar h/cap land at a nice price if anyone took the angle.
Nap and Nb in but no joy on the 22/1 and 175/1 longshots!
INTERNACIONAL VS. MELGAR (11.15pm)
Brasil vs. Peru in this Copa Sudamericana 2nd leg tie and the bookies have the hosts nailed on for the win at odds of around 4/9 on.
It’s easy to see why given the historic differences between these two footballing clubs and countries but there’s a bit more bite to it now with Melgar having a cracking domestic campaign and running the (albeit 10 men) very close for the victory in the 0-0 first leg.
I think it will be tighter than the bookies think though and, with no away goals rule, both sides will be pushing for the win – I was tempted with Melgar on the handicap at one point but will side with a market that is serving me very well these last few months:

KFK KÓPAVOGUR VS. RB KEFLAVIK (9.00pm)
I’ll take the early price on this as I think it may well shorten/see the goal line rise as the day progresses.
There was 6 goals when these two met in June which bodes well but the most striking stat is that RB let in 5 goals to Afrika recently…by far and away the most consistently sh*te team in Iceland in recent years!

Hi Richtea,
I see that Green Gully vs Eastern Lions seems to be
scheduled for the 18th August, looking on Futbol 24,
don’t know if they will carry the bet over until then!!
Think they’ll settle as a double as usually only carry over if game is replayed within the next 24 hrs Willie (if it wins obviously)!

Nottingham Forest v West Ham
Forest double chance at 5/6
Nottingham Forest to win at 16/5
Poor first game from Forest losing to Newcastle away which was always going to be a difficult game.I do expect Forest to be a different animal at home.A difficult place to play football for visiting teams.
Chelsea v Spurs
Spurs to win at 11/5
Under 2.5 goals at 10/11
Red card in the game.
Chelsea are throwing money at transfers like there’s no Tomorrow and that’s not always a good thing especially when they haven’t recruited where they need to most,they are lacking an out and out striker which will cost them if they don’t fill that void.Spurs on the other hand have been impressive in their recruitment with the board backing Conte all the way and you would expect Spurs to be serious contenders if they can be consistent.I expect them to win this game.
Prediction 0-1
Best of luck for the weekend
Nantes v Lille
Fancy Lille to make it 2 from 2 tonight. They started brilliantly last weekend with a 4-1 win. Nantes have struggled, losing 4-0 to PSG in super cup and then were lucky to leave Angers with a 0-0 last weekend.
Looks like Lille are going to be a lot more forward thinking with more freedom to play this season. They flew out the traps last week and I fancy them to make a quick start again
Lille win 7/5
Lille score first half 11/10
Good luck all
Copenhaga to win 1/1
Bodo / Glim to win 1/1
Dortmund to win 1/2
I expect many goals at Nurenberg

I’ve been benefitting from the goodies on this site as a keen follower but every time I put up something, it ends up as a piece of junk.
I’ve therefore been content with being a passive follower but I just couldn’t keep the urge to put this up.
My picks for today:
Single
Maritzburg United vs Swallows FC – FT DRAW (2.85)
Combine with SC Freiburg vs Dortmund
GG (1.50) to get an odd of around 4.25
Best of luck to anyone who’ll be on.
Keep putting them up – doesn’t matter what the outcome is! Good luck tonight 👍

Writing this one off now ❌👎👎 well done all winners tonight so far lads ……..
Okay chaps. William Hill are offering a special on the 12.30pm Villa v Everton match tomorrow.
They are offering evens (i.e. 2.0) for at least 1 goal to be scored in the match (usually 1/16) – max bet £10 on my account, yours may be different.
On the face of it, it looks a reasonably “safe” bet – but, given bookies aren’t charities, is there anything to be aware of about this match?
Nothing to be aware of from my point of view,will obviously be a tight game but we should see a goal in it.
It’s just a publicity stunt that paid off for them last week with Liverpool and a suppose if you could pick a 0-0 this game could be it.
8×£10 on my account 😀👍
Think a lot of folk with put £10 in for the offer, it wins and then they bet £20 on something else and it loses. I assume that is a thought process of bookies on these ‘super’ boost offers. Certainly don’t think many will stick £10 in and take £20 out after the game. And as Deb said above, every now and then it doesn’t come in and they make a packet!
If you bet the £10 they allow you to then win £20 then just stick that on anything else straight after your always going to lose money betting that way if you ask me!
Normally, this would be a no-brainer. However, I’ve been caught by a few of these “specials” recently (e.g. Salah 1+ shot on target)
I’ll probably be a complete coward and put a quid on no goal scorer @ 8/1 too – that way, I’ll get most of my tenner back if it ends 0:0 and £9 profit if there is a goal 🤣
100% Deano. I think a lot will forget they had to put £10 in originally! Either way I think hundreds if not thousands will put money in specifically for this offer and end up not taking anything back out again
I’d be pretty confident of it landing though Chris, can’t see Villa not scoring at least! Though I’d have said that about them last weekend as well…
i have done this bet . Stuck 1.25 on the 0-0 to cover tho.

Sorry Devine…what is the actual bet on Dortmund? Good luck
It’s both teams to score (GG).
The home team has already scored. Now we just need Dortmund to score.
Both teams to score is usually abbreviated on here as BTTS, not GG…but good luck anyway
There goes nothing.
Tom Cleverley to be carded 17/2 Bet365

Vila Nova FC v Londrina

Both teams to score 11-8 main bet💉

Draw 2-1
At unibet………
Vila nova have drawn 14 of their 23 games and sit bottom but are not adrift by any means.
They have scored in their last 5 games and their last 5 home games.
Londrina sit 5th but are inconsistent especially away from home.
Londrina scored in the last 7 head to head here at Vila nova.
Vila nova games have only gone over 3.5 goals twice in 23 games, one being the aforementioned 2-2 at londrina

Based on ur score prediction, I played it draw and it cashed in. Thanks for d tip
