La Liga, Premier League and Serie A bring us their first big clash of the season

Dear football fans, we feel you! The past weekend must have felt long with the first international break, even though your online betting site in Belgium, Golden Vegas Sport, still gave you the chance to bet on the World Cup qualifying matches across all continents.

This weekend looks promising with the return of the major national competitions. Head to our platform to bet on all the matches of the top leagues, even live once the games have kicked off. And the schedule is packed.

After the Red Devils’ victories in Liechtenstein and Kazakhstan, it’s time for the first big clashes. La Liga, Serie A and the Premier League are treating us to spectacular fixtures that promise intense battles.

Barça - Valencia: the Catalans must respond

In Spain, Barcelona take on Valencia. A match that recalls the early 90s, when Spain’s third city could challenge the Catalans. Today, Valencia are no longer at that level, but they remain a difficult opponent.

Especially for the reigning Spanish champions, who already dropped two valuable points before the break after being held to a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano. Frustrating after their two consecutive wins at the start of the season.

It was supposed to be a celebration. Two years after the renovation works that moved them to the Montjuïc stadium, Raphinha’s teammates were expected to return to the Nou Camp this weekend. But the authorities still haven’t granted the necessary permits. As a result, the Estadi Johan Cruyff will host this La Liga clash on Sunday.

Juve - Inter: a Red Devil’s debut?

In Italy, fans are also treated to the "Derby d’Italia". The match between Juventus and Inter Milan is much more than just another Serie A fixture, even if both teams were overtaken by Napoli last season.

On one side, the Old Lady, rebuilding after turbulent years, is trying to recover her discipline and former dominance, having not been crowned champion since 2020 — an eternity for this club.

On the other, the Milanese come with a strong squad, a rediscovered identity and clear European ambitions, as shown by their last Champions League campaign, where they only fell in the final against PSG.

But the Nerazzurri lost their coach Simone Inzaghi, who left for Al-Hilal just before the Club World Cup. His successor Cristian Chivu has already lost one of his first two Serie A matches.

Inter are under pressure, but they are not the only ones. Across the pitch, Loïs Openda has just joined Turin from Leipzig. But our Belgian Red Devil has been heavily criticised by the local press after the trip to Liechtenstein, to the point of being benched against Kazakhstan.

So who will bounce back this Saturday?

The Manchester Derby: Guardiola and Amorim under pressure

Who would have thought a year ago, at this time, that Pep Guardiola might be playing for his future this Sunday in the Manchester Derby? After a disappointing third place, 13 points behind champions Liverpool, and a Champions League round of 16 elimination, City were expected to bounce back.

But the Citizens quickly fell into their old habits. They have already lost twice in their first three league games, at home to Tottenham and away at Brighton. The situation looks bleak, and another defeat could cost the Spanish coach his job.

On the other side, the situation is just as worrying. Last season, Manchester United finished fifteenth. Many believed Ruben Amorim, straight from Sporting Lisbon, would be the ideal coach, but the opposite has proven true. Things are no better for the Red Devils.

At Old Trafford, the campaign began with a home defeat to Arsenal and a poor draw at Fulham. To make matters worse, they were knocked out of the League Cup by Grimsby, a fourth-division team! Amorim saved his position with a narrow win over Burnley two weeks ago, but he too cannot afford to lose this Sunday.
