1 Liverpool VS Bournemouth
In the Premier League opener, the home team has made significant investments this season, and their overall strength is on the rise, while the signing of Korkuts is reportedly confirmed. The departure of Korkuts and Weisnbalzani will certainly affect Bournemouth, but Semenyo remains, preserving some of last season's capabilities.
The data strongly supports the home team, completely overlooking the guest team's excellent performance last season, which requires cautious consideration.
First home win, second draw
2 Girona VS Baleares
The home team has a stronger overall strength than the guest team. Although the home team's performance at home last season was average, it wasn't entirely without merit.
The data supports the home team, but the strength is not significant, making it somewhat unfriendly towards the home team. Additionally, the guest team's quick play is not easy to handle.
First home win, second away win
3 Villarreal VS Aviere
The home team finished fifth last season, while the guest team is a newly promoted side, making the strength disparity clear. However, both teams played a friendly match earlier this month, which ended in a 0-0 draw, but data for that match is unavailable. It is understandable that the home team did not give their all to avoid injuries.
The data strongly supports the home team; if a newly promoted team cannot secure a victory in the first match, how can they compete for European qualification?
Home win
4 Rennes VS Marseille
The home team ranked twelfth last season, while the guest team ranked second, showcasing a significant difference in performance and strength from the previous season, with the guest team having defeated the home team twice. Overall, the home team still appears to be at a disadvantage.
The data supports the guest team, but the strength is not substantial, showing a somewhat conservative approach. From the pre-season friendlies, the home team's defense has shown some improvement, but their offense may not be as strong as last season.
First away win, second draw
5 Clermont VS Troyes
The home team finished eighth last season, while the guest team was second, indicating a close matchup in strength.
The data shows no bias; based on pre-match friendlies, the home team has maintained a certain level of performance at home.
First draw, second home win
6 Grenoble VS Laval
The home team ranked seventeenth last season, while the guest team ranked fourth, suggesting that the home team is actually stronger than the guest team.
From the first round of matches, the home team lost away, while the guest team drew at home, but the guest team has superior attacking capabilities compared to the home team.
The data shows no clear bias, but the guest team still has some hope.
First away win, second home win
7 Red Star VS Amiens
The home team ranked twelfth last season, while the guest team ranked tenth. The overall strength of both teams is quite similar.
In a friendly match, the home team won 2-0 against their opponent, indicating that the home team is in better form than the guest team. In the first match, neither team managed to win. The data supports the home team, and the strength is not insignificant.
Home win
8 Nancy VS Boulogne
The home team is a relegated side, while the guest team is newly promoted. There is a certain gap in strength, but based on the first round of matches, the home team did not show a strong attacking performance.
The data supports the home team, and the strength is considerable, which aligns with the current situation. However, the home team's attacking capabilities remain a concern.
First home win, second draw
9 Telstar VS Zwolle
The overall strength of the home team is below that of the guest team, and based on the first match, the home team's form is not as good as the guest team's.
The data shows no bias, which still gives the home team some credit, but last season the home team could not gain an advantage over the guest team, leaving the guest team with a psychological edge. The guest team could easily come away with a favorable result in this match.
First away win, second draw
10 Cambuur VS Oss
The overall strength of the home team is significantly stronger than that of the guest team; however, the home team lost in the first round, while the guest team won impressively at home, showcasing strong attacking capabilities.
The data provides substantial support for the home team, although this strength seems excessive, overlooking the guest team's impressive attacking prowess displayed in the first round. Last season, the home team did not gain any advantage.
First home win, second away win
11 Roda JC VS GRAAF
The strengths of both teams are close; based on the first round of matches, both teams showed some form, while the guest team still has certain vulnerabilities in their defense.
The data shows no bias, but based on last season's encounters, the home team still falls short.
First draw, second home win
12 Aves SA VS Casa
From the first round of matches, both teams displayed poor defensive and offensive performances, and based on last season's encounters, both teams are evenly matched.
The data shows no clear bias but still offers the home team some support. However, it is not very friendly towards the home team.
Draw
13 Stro VS Bodo
The home team's strength is below that of the guest team, and based on recent performances, the home team has significantly underperformed compared to the guest team. In the last six matches, the home team only defeated the weaker Haugur, while the guest team was held to a draw by the equally strong Tromso.
The data provides substantial support for the guest team, with only one victory separating them from the top spot, suggesting that whoever stays steady may gain an advantage.
First away win, second draw
14 HIFK VS Vasa
The home team ranks sixth, with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in their last six matches, including 1 win, 0 draws, and 1 loss at home, scoring 12 goals and conceding 11, indicating average defense. In their last six home matches, they also have 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 11, reflecting average home performance.
The guest team ranks eighth, with a record of 0 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last six matches, including 0 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss away, scoring 7 goals and conceding 11, indicating poor performance. In their last six away matches, they have 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, scoring 13 goals and conceding 10, showing decent attacking power away from home.
The data supports the home team, and this strength is relatively good compared to both teams' recent performances, but the guest team's tenacity should still be taken into account.
First home win, second draw
