THE PLAY: REGULATION Istanbul Basaksehir -165

Opening game of the season for both of these teams on Sunday and we're expecting the home side to come away with all three points over in Turkey.

Only three teams scored more goals from open play last season than Istanbul Basaksehir managed, while Kayserispor ranked bottom-half overall in that very same category.

Defensively also, Kayserispor owned the 4th-worst defensive xGA record in the entire league last season, both overall and on the road, while Basaksehir ranked top-half in that category.

Basaksehir own a less than impressive record against Kayserispor across recent seasons, winning just one of their last six meetings. However, Kayserispor have been dismal away from home recently, sitting with a W2, D4, L7 record since December.

We're expecting Basaksehir to add that dismal record here on Sunday.

THE PLAY: 1H Chelsea -0.25 (-135)

Crystal Palace's recent victories in the FA Cup final and Community Shield will likely have them full of confidence ahead of their trip cross town on Sunday.

That said, the Eagles have not done well in this venue across recent seasons, avoiding defeat in just one of their last nine trips to West London, with their 1-1 draw last season seeing Chelsea dominate in by a massive 2.34 to 0.52 xG advantage.

Look for the Blues to get off on the right foot early on Sunday.

PLAY: 1H CHELSEA -0.25 -135

THE PLAY: 1H Liverpool -136

Liverpool have strengthened considerably over the summer, spending in excess of 250 million GBP, while Bournemouth have weakened, losing some of their brightest talent since the end of last season.

Liverpool owned the joint-lowest failure to score rate in the league away from home last season, while Bournemouth ranked bottom half in that same category.

Look for the Reds to get off to a fast start here on Friday.
