Both Newcastle and Strasbourg have the attacking quality to make this a high-scoring affair. That's exactly why I'm taking over 3.5 goals at 2.25 — these sides know how to find the net.

Newcastle should dominate the corner count in this friendly. They are the stronger side and will likely control possession and attacking pressure against Strasbourg, which naturally leads to more corners. The odds of 1.57 offer solid value for backing the hos…

Team 1 over 1.5odds 1.65

Newcastle to score at least twice? That’s my pick for this friendly on 16 August. Strasbourg’s defending has been horrendous, and I see them shipping goals against the Premier League side. At 1.65, the price looks solid for the hosts to get over 1.5.

Over 1.5 (1st half)odds 1.93

I'm backing over 1.5 goals in the first half at 1.93. Real Madrid are sending out their youth team for this friendly, and that usually means a loose, high-tempo opening. With Schalke also likely to push forward, I expect both sides to find the net early. Simp…

I’m backing Villarreal with a handicap of 0 at 1.52. The gap in class is clear: Villarreal finished 3rd in La Liga last season with 72 points, while Racing are newcomers back in the top flight after 14 years away. Pre-season form also favors the visitors, wit…

Villarreal to Win at 2.07 is a solid value bet here. The market is leaning into a high-scoring game where both teams find the net, but the smarter money is on the more seasoned side to take all three points. I am backing the visitors to secure the win.
