Cagliari vs Roma – Roma win odds with bet365 are 19/20
Daniele De Rossi transformed Roma’s 2023-24 season after taking over from Jose Mourinho, losing just six of his 26 games as he led Wolves to sixth in Serie A and the Europa League semi-finals.
The players clearly like the club legend and they will be further strengthened by the signings of last season’s La Liga top scorer Artem Dovbyk and exciting youngster Matias Sole, who was bad news for Cagliari on the opening weekend.
Roma won both meetings between the pair last season by an aggregate score of 8-1 and should be primed for another win against the Islanders.

NAC Breda vs Ajax – Ajax will win to nil @ 13/8 with bet365
Ajax qualified for the Europa League play-offs after beating Panathinaikos in midweek following a stunning 13-12 win via penalty shootout – but the 36-time Dutch champions will find it easy on their trip to Breda.
The home team have not beaten Ajax in front of their home fans in the league since 2003 and the visitors have won by nil in five of the last seven meetings at the Rat Verlegh Stadium.
Ajax started the season with a shutout win over Heerenveen and are hoping for another clean sheet.

Motherwell vs Kilmarnock – Motherwell win odds are 27/20 with bet365
Kilmarnock’s focus remains squarely on Europe and they are making good progress in Conference League qualifying, but it has come at a cost as they have lost their opening two games of the new Scottish Premiership season, losing 4-0 away to Celtic and 3-0 at home to St Johnstone.
A trip to Motherwell on Sunday comes just three days after beating Tromso in Conference League qualifying, and with a trip to FC Copenhagen next midweek, they could once again take their eyes off the domestic front.
Motherwell were beaten by Rangers last weekend and after drawing with Ross County in their league opener, they will be hoping to get a win in this cup tie against potentially distracted opponents.

Vitoria Guimaraes vs Estoril – Vitoria Guimaraes -1 at 8/5 with bet365
Vitoria Guimaraes continued their impressive start to the season with another European win in midweek. They entered the final qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League after beating Zurich 2-0, their fifth win of the season.
Guimaraes won 1-0 over Arouca in their league opener but could record an even more comfortable success on Sunday. Estoril were beaten 4-1 at home against Santa Clara last weekend, while they conceded three goals in home and away matches against Guimaraes last season.
The hosts have won their first five matches by an aggregate of 11-0, so they should overcome a -1 handicap against a team that has lost their last four matches in the league.

Real Sociedad vs Rayo Vallecano – Real Sociedad to win at 3/5 with bet365
Real Sociedad have largely managed to retain their key players this summer, with the exception of defender Robin Le Normand, who left for Atletico Madrid, and they look well placed to start the season with three points against Rayo Vallecano.
Rayo won just four games away from home in La Liga last season and their last victory came in January. The visitors failed to score in their last six trips of the campaign and will struggle to get any sort of result at the Anoeta, so La Real look worth a comeback here, even at a fairly cheap price.
