September starts with the first international break of the season, with three quick international world cup qualifiers for most countries.  Club football then takes centre stage with the return of the Champions League, with two group stage matchdays taking place in September. 

There is also action from the Premier League, Europa League, Carabao Cup and a couple of major boxing bouts to look forward to featuring British fighters Josh Warrington and Anthony Joshua.

The outright odds for the Champions League 21/22 season are as follows:

Paris SG 7/2 (Paddy Power)

Bayern Munich 8/1 (William Hill)

PSG are the favourites to win the Champions League at 7/2, which is more than understandable given the summer transfer window they have had, bringing in Messi, Donnarumma, Hakimi and Sergio Ramos.  They now have a brilliant array of talent in a very deep squad and will be tough to stop, although they could have some problems trying to squeeze all their talents into a cohesive side.

Liverpool could offer some value at 10/1 now that they have Virgil Van Dijk and some other defenders fit including Joel Matip.  Liverpool have started the new Premier League season well and should go well again this season after a poor end to last season.

Of the bigger odds, we like the look of Atletico Madrid at 25/1 with Betfred.  Last season's Spanish league winners have  a strong squad and have added Antoine Griezmann to their attack, which already looked strong with Luis Suarez leading the line.  They should go well at bigger odds.

There are two major boxing bouts in September, with British fighters Josh Warrington and Anthony Joshua in action.

Josh Warrington has a rematch against Mauricio Lara after he suffered a surprise TKO defeat in February this year with no crowd present.  Warrington will hope that fighting in front of a raucous home crowd at Headingly Rugby League stadium in Leeds will spur him on to a win in the rematch.

Josh Warrington vs Mauricio Lara 2 odds
Mauricio Lara 5/4 (Betfred)
