The FA Community Shield is an important honor in English football, the game is played between the winner of the Premier League and the winner of the FA Cup. And this year the contest is between Leicester and Manchester City. In the last four of five head-to-head games, Manchester was better than Leicester. Also, Man City won four of the last five fixtures they participated in while Leicester never won in the last five matches. This should be an easy win for the City.

As we said, this should be an easy trophy for Manchester City and a great way to start a season. Missing a chance to win the Champions League last year probably still hurts, so this win means more than just a game. In the two of the last five times that those two clubs met, more than 2.5 total goals were scored. We can expect that on Saturday also.

Goals
BTTS is almost guaranteed in this game, and the probability of scoring over 2.5 goals is high. When these two sides go head-to-head they usually produce plenty of goals and we’re expecting over 2.5 to be scored on Saturday. Hull is back in the Championship and they will be aiming to establish themselves in the division over the next couple of campaigns. One thing is for sure, we will watch a great game this Saturday.
Predictions:

This season for Derby County will be a battle for staying in the Championship. Nobody is expecting much from Rams this season as the club has had its struggles with finances. Huddersfield are the favorites and we’re backing them to sneak a win. The visitors have no fresh injury concerns or suspended players for the trip to Derby. Our prediction for the final result is 0:1.
Head to head
- Derby County vs Huddersfield Town 2:0
- Huddersfield Town vs Derby County 1:0
- Derby County vs Huddersfield Town 1:1
- Huddersfield Town vs Derby County 1:2
- Derby County vs Huddersfield Town 1:1
Goals
This game will be under the 2.5 scoreline for sure. In the last five games, those two clubs played only once with more than 2.5 goals. Also, we won’t expect BTTS in this game. Both teams have struggled with scoring in the last games, and their average scoring per game is really bad.
Predictions:
Prediction one: THREE WAY – Huddersfield win (odds 1.76)
Prediction two: TOTALS – Under 2.5 (odds 1.76)
Prediction three: BOTH HALVES UNDER 1.5? – Yes (odds 6.00)

Slavisa Jokanovic took Sheffield to try to get them back into the Premier League. He already did it twice with two different clubs. The Blades were awful in the Premier League last season and suffered from the second-season syndrome. However, they remain one of the favorites for automatic promotion back to the top flight this season and we believe they will get off to a winning start against Birmingham.
Head to head
- Sheffield United vs Birmingham City 1:1
- Birmingham City vs Sheffield United 0:0
- Sheffield United vs Birmingham City 2:1
- Birmingham City vs Sheffield United 1:1
- Birmingham City vs Sheffield United 0:4
Goals
This game will have the highest chance to finish under 2.5 goals. We’re not expecting there to be many goals in this game and can even see Sheff Utd keeping a clean sheet. Three of the last four meetings between Sheff Utd and Birmingham have produced under 2.5 goals and the same can be said for three of the Blade’s last five fixtures. BTTS is unlikely to happen in Saturday’s game.
Predictions:
Prediction one: THREE WAY – Sheffield win (odds 1.83)
Prediction two: TOTALS – Under 2.5 (odds 1.63)
Prediction three: BTSS – No (odds 1.69)
