Weekend Football Predictions: September 11–13, 2026
HandPickedBet
The 2026/27 football season continues with another exciting weekend of fixtures from September 11–13. Here are our handpicked…
![Yes. I’ve checked the **actual September 4–6, 2026 fixtures** and current form information before making these selections. The weekend includes major fixtures such as Ipswich–Liverpool, Real Betis–Real Madrid, Inter–Napoli, Bayern–Schalke, PSG–Monaco, plus Scottish Premiership and Turkish Süper Lig games. ([The Guardian][1]) I’ve also followed your **two-ticket rule**: the **Best 5 uses different matches from the long accumulator**, so you aren't relying on the same game twice. # Weekend Football Predictions: September 4–6, 2026 ## Long Weekend Accumulator These are the selections I'd use for the **long accumulator**. I've mixed match winners, double chance, goals and team-goal markets rather than making every leg a straight win. | # | Match | Accumulator Prediction | Predicted Score | | -: | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | --------------: | | 1 | Ipswich Town vs Liverpool | **Liverpool Win** | 1–2 | | 2 | Newcastle vs Bournemouth | **Over 1.5 Goals** | 2–1 | | 3 | Brentford vs Sunderland | **Brentford Over 1.5 Team Goals** | 2–1 | | 4 | Manchester City vs Coventry City | **Man City Win** | 3–0 | | 5 | Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham | **BTTS** | 1–1 | | 6 | Hull City vs Aston Villa | **Aston Villa or Draw (X2)** | 1–2 | | 7 | Real Betis vs Real Madrid | **Real Madrid or Draw (X2)** | 1–2 | | 8 | Rayo Vallecano vs Racing Santander | **Rayo Vallecano or Draw (1X)** | 1–0 | | 9 | Villarreal vs Deportivo La Coruña | **Villarreal Win** | 2–0 | | 10 | Genoa vs Como | **Over 1.5 Goals** | 1–1 | | 11 | Fiorentina vs Torino | **Under 3.5 Goals** | 1–0 | | 12 | Roma vs Atalanta | **Roma or Draw (1X)** | 2–1 | | 13 | Bayern Munich vs Schalke | **Bayern Munich Win** | 3–0 | | 14 | Bayer Leverkusen vs Union Berlin | **Leverkusen or Draw (1X)** | 2–1 | | 15 | Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig | **RB Leipzig Over 1.5 Team Goals** | 1–2 | | 16 | Lyon vs Auxerre | **Lyon Win** | 2–1 | | 17 | PSG vs Monaco | **PSG or Draw (1X)** | 2–1 | | 18 | Marseille vs Paris FC | **Marseille Over 1.5 Team Goals** | 2–1 | | 19 | Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock | **Aberdeen or Draw (1X)** | 1–1 | | 20 | Rangers vs Motherwell | **Rangers Win** | 2–0 | | 21 | İstanbul Başakşehir vs Galatasaray | **Galatasaray or Draw (X2)** | 1–2 | | 22 | Trabzonspor vs Gençlerbirliği | **Trabzonspor Win** | 2–0 | The Premier League fixtures are confirmed for September 4–6, including Liverpool's trip to Ipswich, Manchester City–Coventry and Arsenal–Chelsea. ([Premier League][2]) For Serie A, the key weekend fixtures include Genoa–Como, Fiorentina–Torino, Inter–Napoli, Roma–Atalanta and Juventus–Milan. ([LiveScore][3]) The Bundesliga has Bayern–Schalke, Leverkusen–Union Berlin, Hoffenheim–Dortmund and Werder Bremen–Leipzig among the main games. Current model data strongly favours Bayern against promoted Schalke. ([D-Ratings][4]) The Scottish Premiership schedule includes Aberdeen–Kilmarnock, Rangers–Motherwell and St Mirren–Celtic. ([SPFL][5]) The Turkish weekend is headlined by Başakşehir–Galatasaray and the Fenerbahçe–Beşiktaş Istanbul derby. ([Mefico News][6]) --- # Our Best 5 Picks This Weekend **Important:** I've deliberately selected **different matches from the accumulator**. This means your Best 5 ticket isn't simply repeating the long acca. ### 1. Arsenal vs Chelsea **Prediction:** Arsenal to Win **Predicted Score:** 2–1 **Confidence:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one of the biggest games of the weekend. Arsenal have home advantage and enter the fixture with a strong early-season position, while Chelsea have also made a positive start under Xabi Alonso. This makes the match more competitive than some of the other fixtures, but Arsenal get our nod at home. ([talkSPORT][7]) **Best 5 Pick:** 🟢 **Arsenal Win** --- ### 2. Athletic Club vs Atlético Madrid **Prediction:** Both Teams to Score **Predicted Score:** 1–2 **Confidence:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a difficult match to call on the 1X2 market, so BTTS is the more attractive angle. Atlético have the quality to score away from home, while Athletic should have enough attacking threat at San Mamés to contribute. **Best 5 Pick:** 🟢 **BTTS** --- ### 3. Inter Milan vs Napoli **Prediction:** Over 2.5 Goals **Predicted Score:** 2–1 **Confidence:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is arguably the standout Serie A fixture of the weekend. Both sides have attacking quality, and current statistical projections put the match around the 2.5-goal line, with BTTS also close to an even proposition. ([Extra Tips][8]) **Best 5 Pick:** 🟢 **Over 2.5 Goals** --- ### 4. Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund **Prediction:** Borussia Dortmund to Win **Predicted Score:** 1–2 **Confidence:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dortmund began the campaign with a win over Hamburg, while Hoffenheim conceded three against Köln. Dortmund's stronger overall squad gives them the edge, although the away fixture carries some risk. Current models give Dortmund the advantage. ([D-Ratings][4]) **Best 5 Pick:** 🟢 **Dortmund Win** --- ### 5. Fenerbahçe vs Beşiktaş **Prediction:** Over 2.5 Goals **Predicted Score:** 2–2 **Confidence:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the big Turkish derby of the weekend. Both clubs are unbeaten domestically entering the fixture, and the matchup has plenty of attacking quality. Rather than choosing a winner, we prefer the goals market. The derby is scheduled for Saturday, September 5. ([Mefico News][6]) **Best 5 Pick:** 🟢 **Over 2.5 Goals** --- # Our 5 Strongest Picks 1. **Arsenal to Win vs Chelsea** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2. **BTTS — Athletic Club vs Atlético Madrid** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 3. **Over 2.5 Goals — Inter vs Napoli** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4. **Borussia Dortmund to Win vs Hoffenheim** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5. **Over 2.5 Goals — Fenerbahçe vs Beşiktaş** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ ### Why this structure is better You now have: **LONG ACCUMULATOR:** 22 selections **BEST 5:** 5 completely different matches So, for example: * Manchester City **Win** → Accumulator * Arsenal **Win** → Best 5 * Bayern **Win** → Accumulator * Dortmund **Win** → Best 5 * PSG **Double Chance** → Accumulator * Fenerbahçe–Beşiktaş **Over 2.5** → Best 5 There is **no duplicate match between the two tickets**, which is actually cleaner than changing the market on the same match. ## Prediction Tracker For your HandpickedBet article, I'd use your usual format: | Match | Ticket | Prediction | Predicted Score | Final Score | Result | | ------------------------------ | ----------- | ------------------- | --------------: | ----------: | --------- | | Ipswich vs Liverpool | Accumulator | Liverpool Win | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Newcastle vs Bournemouth | Accumulator | Over 1.5 Goals | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Brentford vs Sunderland | Accumulator | Brentford Over 1.5 | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Man City vs Coventry | Accumulator | Man City Win | 3–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Nottingham Forest vs Tottenham | Accumulator | BTTS | 1–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Hull City vs Aston Villa | Accumulator | Villa or Draw | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Real Betis vs Real Madrid | Accumulator | Real Madrid or Draw | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Rayo Vallecano vs Racing | Accumulator | Rayo or Draw | 1–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Villarreal vs Deportivo | Accumulator | Villarreal Win | 2–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Genoa vs Como | Accumulator | Over 1.5 Goals | 1–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Fiorentina vs Torino | Accumulator | Under 3.5 Goals | 1–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Roma vs Atalanta | Accumulator | Roma or Draw | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Bayern vs Schalke | Accumulator | Bayern Win | 3–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Leverkusen vs Union Berlin | Accumulator | Leverkusen or Draw | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Werder Bremen vs Leipzig | Accumulator | Leipzig Over 1.5 | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Lyon vs Auxerre | Accumulator | Lyon Win | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | PSG vs Monaco | Accumulator | PSG or Draw | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Marseille vs Paris FC | Accumulator | Marseille Over 1.5 | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Aberdeen vs Kilmarnock | Accumulator | Aberdeen or Draw | 1–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Rangers vs Motherwell | Accumulator | Rangers Win | 2–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Başakşehir vs Galatasaray | Accumulator | Galatasaray or Draw | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Trabzonspor vs Gençlerbirliği | Accumulator | Trabzonspor Win | 2–0 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Arsenal vs Chelsea | **Best 5** | Arsenal Win | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Athletic Club vs Atlético | **Best 5** | BTTS | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Inter vs Napoli | **Best 5** | Over 2.5 Goals | 2–1 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Hoffenheim vs Dortmund | **Best 5** | Dortmund Win | 1–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | | Fenerbahçe vs Beşiktaş | **Best 5** | Over 2.5 Goals | 2–2 | Pending | ⏳ Pending | **Total: 27 handpicked predictions — 22 accumulator + 5 Best 5.** One caveat: because these are early-season fixtures, I would **recheck lineups/injuries shortly before publication**, particularly for the bigger matches. The predictions above are selections based on the information currently available, not guaranteed outcomes.
