LYON begin life without Alexandre Lacazette on Saturday when they host new boys Strasbourg on Lique 1 opening weekend.
The £50million striker's exit to Arsenal leaves big shooting boots to fill – and midfielder Colinton Tolisso's move to Bayern Munich is another big loss – with a heavy burden on new recruits such as Bertrand Traore and Mariano Diaz.
Strasbourg won Ligue 2 last season and look the best equipped of the promoted teams to stay up but Lyon, despite their summer of upheaval, should be too strong at 2-5 with bet365.
In Switzerland, champs Basel can sneak victory in a tricky trip to Thun who are pointless after two matches. Basel have won three of their last four visits to the Stockhorn Arena and are 19-20 at bet365.
In Austria, Red Bull Salzburg are reeling from their Champions League qualifying exit to Rijeka but should reassert their domestic dominace at 2-5 with bet365 when they welcome Admira whose opening away game saw them crash 3-0 to LASK Linz.
And finally, the Portuguese Super Cup is a repeat of the final match of last season as Benfica and Guimaraes go head to head. Benfica took the honours in the cup final with a 2-1 win and despite the loss of some key men over summer they can extend their winning record over Guimaraes to seven in a row at 4-11 with bet365.
