August 27th: Sunday’s Daily Double – 4/1 Special, Tips & Predictions

With the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munich returning to action this weekend, we certainly have a stacked Sunday schedule on our hands.

So, for those of you looking to place a Sunday flutter, we have found a pair of tips that can potentially offer an eye-catching return for your bet.

14:00 Sheffield United vs Manchester City

Making real history last season as they became the first English club since 1999 to be crowned treble champions, Manchester City have once again come flying out of the traps since opening the 2023/24 campaign. Despite suffering Community Shield heartbreak at the hands of Arsenal at Wembley on August 6th, Saturday’s guests should be smelling the chance to make another Premier League statement this weekend.

Last seen edging past a high-flying Newcastle as they landed a 1-0 victory at the Etihad, Pep Guardiola’s men have secured back-to-back top-flight wins since opening the new campaign.

One of just three clubs alongside Arsenal and Brighton that can boast a 100% start to proceedings, the Sky Blues will be relishing a trip to Bramall Lane on Sunday afternoon.

Putting in a rampant opening performance on August 11th as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp away at Premier League returners Burnley, a struggling Sheffield United will know that they face a monumental challenge here.

Along with opening the 2023/24 campaign with a toothless performance on home soil as they slumped to a 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace, the Blades are yet to put a single point on the board since making their own top-flight return.

Expected to be at the heart of a relegation scrap this season, Paul Heckingbottom’s men will be worried by a nightmare record against the reigning Premier League champions.

Suffering a routine 3-0 drumming when they travelled to the blue half of Manchester for an FA Cup clash on April 22nd, it is hard to see anything other than a similar outcome from Bramall Lane this weekend.

16:30 Bayern Munich vs Augsburg

Eventually clinging to their Bundesliga crown last season following Borussia Dortmund’s infamous collapse at the final hurdle, Bayern Munich are seeking a far more straightforward ride this time around. Making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend following their Super Cup drumming against RB Leipzig on August 12th, Sunday’s hosts should be smelling a real chance here.

Opening up the 2023/24 campaign with a thumping 4-0 victory away at Werder Bremen, Thomas Tuchel’s superstar squad will be seeking a repeat display here.

Looking to make even more Bundesliga history this season, the former Chelsea boss will certainly be calling on his new attacking icon to spearhead his charge this weekend.

Making the move from Tottenham this summer in a deal that could be worth in excess of £100million, England skipper harry Kane opened his German adventure with a strike against Bremen last week.

On the flip side, while Augsburg might have opened the new season with a remarkable 4-4 stalemate at home against Borussia Monchengladbach, Sunday’s guests are tipped to find themselves at the heart of another relegation scrap this season.

Gaining a reputation for their extended defensive issues earlier in the year, the Whites certainly face a heavyweight challenge here.

Hit with an action-packed 5-3 loss when they made the trip to Munich back on March 11th, it should be noted that Augsburg have shipped 10 strikes in their back-to-back showdowns against the reigning German champions.

Likewise, losing each of their last four Bundesliga trips to the Allianz Arena by an aggregate score of 13-5, Enrico Maaben’s men are rightfully tipped as a landslide underdog this weekend.
