It’s August, football is back, and we’re looking to claim the perfect start to 2015/16 with this huge 138/1 treble at Coral.
For those of you new to the BTTS & Win market, we’re essentially backing three teams to win without keeping a clean sheet. It’s difficult, but the chance to win over a grand from a £10 stake has got to appeal to punters everywhere.
Could we pretty much guarantee a profit for the season on the very first day? Let’s hope so.

AFC Bournemouth V Aston Villa
The Cherries tasted the sweetest success in 2014/15 as Eddie Howe worked wonders to lead the club to the Premier League, and Dean Court will be hoping to see their heroes take advantage of a depleted Aston Villa in this opening day thriller.
Tim Sherwood’s visitors have lost several key players over the summer. Nonetheless, they have bought a couple of decent replacements and should fancy their chances of goals. The manager likes to employ an attacking brand of football, which will help the BTTS part of this bet.
Meanwhile, the Cherries have recruited well over the summer, with the like of Max Gradel and Christian Atsu adding real quality. Confidence is sky high at Dean Court and that energy could be the deciding factor in leading Bournemouth to the perfect Premier League debut.
It will be a dramatic day regardless of what happens on the pitch. However, we’re expecting an entertaining encounter and are backing the hosts to edge it.

Charlton Athletic V QPR
After four years of yo-yoing between the top two flights, Queens Park Rangers will be desperate to bounce back to the Premier League once again in 2015/16. The Hoops will be expected to be amongst the Championships frontrunners and will be eager to win this opening day derby at Charlton.
For the time being at least, Chris Ramsey’s side boast some fantastic attacking players for this level. Charlie Austin, Jamie Mackie, and Junior Hoilett are all capable of goals and the visitors will be looking to fire a warning to their title rivals with a few goals at the Valley.
However, the Addicks won’t be an easy opponent. Guy Luzon’s men finished 12th last term and posted 54 goals in the process. While they should be confident of opening their account on home soil, their defensive issues could be a worry.
Charlton can push QPR all the way, but the visitors should enjoy a much better campaign this term. We’re backing them to open their account with three points.
BTTS & QPR Win @ 9/2 with Coral
Bristol Rovers V Northampton Town
Darrell Clarke’s Pirates are back in the Football League after a one-year absence and will be fancied to enjoy a fairly productive season in League Two. If their home form in 2014/15 is anything to go by, they should start their campaign in style.
Bristol Rovers have some very decent players, and will be hoping to see the likes of Jermaine Easter and Matty Taylor prove their worth in front of goal. The hosts scored 73 regular season goals last term, and should have no trouble finding the target in spite of the step up.
Goals were a regular feature at both ends of the pitch for Northampton last term, and we think Chris Wilder’s team will be involved in another BTTS winner here. Unfortunately, for the Cobblers, we’re backing Rovers to claim the spoils.
It’s a big day at the Memorial and the Pirates can start their season in perfect style. However, taking the rise in standard into account, we’re predicting at least one goal for the visitors too.
