Fulham vs Middlesbrough, 1.30pm GMT
Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals @1/1
Fulham were relegated from the Premier League following the 2020-21 season, in which they finished with 28 points from 38 matches. Manager Scott Parker was relieved of his duties and Marco Silva has been tasked with leading Fulham back to the top tier of English football.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough finished 10th in the 2020-21 Championship season, amassing a total of 64 points from 46 games. They are expected to do much better this year, and manager Neil Warnock will be aiming for a playoff berth.
Coventry vs Nottingham Forest, 4.30pm GMT
Prediction: Coventry @29/20
Coventry City did not have the most encouraging pre-season this summer. The side played four friendly games and lost all of them. They conceded nine goals across these games and scored just once.
Nottingham Forest finished a spot behind their hosts in the Championship league table last season.
Chris Hughton’s men played three pre-season games in preparation for the upcoming campaign. The Reds won two of their three friendlies, drawing the other.
