Bayern is the better team, and Dortmund can score regularly against them, so I think this is a fantastic odds not to try. Bayern was perhaps the best team in the world last season, they unfortunately lost against PSG which was a 50/50 match and could have gone either way. They brought in Saibari and Brown, who give them even more Squad Depth, and they didn't lose anyone significant (maybe Nickolas Jackson whose loan ended). The attacking trio of Diaz, Kane, Olise is still unstoppable and it's hard for Bayern not to score at least 2-3 goals in this match with such attacking potential. On the other hand, Dortmund lost Adeyemi and for not a lot of money, and they brought in two Greek reinforcements, Konstantelis and Karetsas who are young players and are more of an investment for the future to earn some money

United were the best team last season since Carrick arrived, Bruno had the season of his life and was the player of the season in the Premier League, Mbeumo and Cunha did at least a passing grade in their first season, and Sesko was slowly adapting. This season they filled the holes in the midfield, brought in Tielemans and Santos, and they, along with Mainoo, will rotate for United's starting midfield with Bruno on CAM. Hull should have been in the fight for survival last season, but somehow, with a lot of luck, fight and not giving up, they managed to reach the Premier League. They haven't strengthened significantly, they have a relatively weak team for the Premier League and the chances of them returning to the Championship are much higher than staying. I expect United to start well this season and win this first match easily.

A big mistake at the start of the championship for the current Turkish champion Galatasaray, they played a draw against Çorum. I expect a reaction from Okan Buruk's team already in the second round and really anything other than a routine victory for Galatasaray would be a big surprise. By far the best player for Galatasaray is the brilliant Victor Osimhen, who scored two goals against Çorum.

By winning the Turkish champion title, Galatasaray also secured direct participation in the Champions League, so at the start of the season the maximum focus is on the championship.

Al Riyadh started the season with a defeat by Al Ettifaq, and now an even stronger opponent awaits them. Al Nassr under Postecoglou is expected to play even more offensive football and I think there will be a lot of goals in this match and Al Nassr will win easily in the end. The quality is very much on their side, the return of Ronaldo is still expected in this game, and that Coman-Mane-Joao Felix-Angelo-Ronaldo attack would be solid even in the Premier League, let alone for an opponent of the level of Al Riyadh.

Tikves opened the season with a 5-1 win over Arsimi, and a 0-5 away win over Bashkimi, opponents who are somewhere in the same league as today's opponents Skopje. Skopje have won 1 point in 3 matches and have a team that will fight for survival, they are otherwise returnees to the first league. Tikves has more foreigners in the team this season, which is an additional advantage.

Johor Darul Tazim enters this match as a big favorite, but what makes this match especially interesting is the current form of both teams and the large number of problems that Kuching has before visiting one of the strongest clubs in Asia.
JDT is in a phenomenal attacking rhythm. In the last five matches, it has scored as many as 26 goals. It defeated Kelantan an incredible 14:1, Kuala Lumpur City 7:0, Melaka 2:1, while it played against Elche 0:0, and then against Chelsea it played a spectacular 3:3. The fact that JDT has scored as many as 21 goals in two domestic league matches is particularly impressive, which speaks volumes about the potential of their attack.
