Introduction to Sunday Football
There is a feast of footballing action to take in on Sunday, with matches taking place in the Premier League, Championship, La Liga, DFB-Pokal, and Coppa Italia amongst several other leagues across the world. Our selections take in two games from England’s top flight, along with a Championship encounter involving two former Premier League sides, Atletico Madrid’s trip to Espanyol, and Hibernian’s Scottish League Cup clash.
Sunday Football Tips
Our expert tips for Sunday’s games include:
- Bet of the day: Nottingham Forest to beat Brentford at 11/10
- Special of the day: Ipswich and Southampton – Draw, Hibernian to beat Livingston, and Atletico Madrid to beat Espanyol at 21/2
- Long Shot of the Day: Manchester United v Arsenal – Declan Rice anytime goalscorer at 6/1
Bet of the Day
Nottingham Forest to beat Brentford at 11/10 is our top pick for Sunday. It has been a summer of upheaval at Brentford, who have seen key players depart and a new manager take over. This instability could give Nottingham Forest the edge they need to claim all three points at the City Ground. Forest collected 32 points from 19 home games last season, a record bettered by just six teams, and Nuno Espirito Santo’s side can continue that strong form in Nottinghamshire.
Special of the Day
Our special tip for the day combines three matches into one exciting accumulator: Ipswich and Southampton – Draw, Hibernian to beat Livingston, and Atletico Madrid to beat Espanyol at 21/2. Ipswich and Southampton have had close encounters in the past, with their last two meetings ending in a draw and a narrow 2-1 win for Ipswich. Given their recent form, a draw seems like a plausible outcome. Hibernian are unbeaten in their three away assignments this season and look capable of advancing to the quarter-finals of the Scottish League Cup by beating Livingston. Lastly, Atletico Madrid have a strong record against Espanyol and, with their summer signings, are poised to win.
Long Shot of the Day
Our long shot for the day is Declan Rice to score anytime in the Manchester United v Arsenal match at 6/1. Rice has proven his goal-scoring ability for both West Ham and Arsenal, including scoring against Manchester United in their last league meeting. Given his form and the nature of the rivalry between the two teams, it’s possible that Rice could find the back of the net again.
