English Premier League

Aston Villa vs. Chelsea

• When: Saturday, April 27th, 2024. 3:00pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Aston Villa -120 // Chelsea +100

Chelsea, the road squad, doesn’t have much to play for in this. The Blues aren’t going to climb the ladder and overtake Aston Villa to secure the fourth spot, which would lead to a Champions League berth for next season.

Aston has a ton to play for. AV is trying to hold off Tottenham and keep their fourth place position. Doing so means Aston scores the Champions League title. Chelsea battles Arsenal on Tuesday, and that’s going to be a rough match for the Blues. AV gets the nod.

Soccer Betting Pick: Aston Villa

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal

• When: Sunday, April 28th, 2024. 3:00pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Tottenham Hotspur +200 // Arsenal +125

This is a massive match for both teams. Tottenham is fighting for a spot in next season’s Champions League while the Gunners are battling for this season’s Premier title.

Tottenham has a huge advantage because by the time this game kicks off, the Hotspur will have rested for 15 days. During the same span, Arsenal will have had 4 games. The rest advantage is big, but the Gunners are determined and Mikel Arteta is managing his squad with precision. Arsenal gets it done.

Soccer Betting Pick: Arsenal

Bundesliga

RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund

• When: Saturday, April 27th, 2024. 9:30pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: RB Leipzig -135 // Borussia Dortmund +298

Even Dortmund might be surprised that they beat Atletico so thoroughly, the final score was 4-2, in the second leg of their 2-leg aggregate to secure a Champions League Semifinal spot. Heading into this match, Dortmund is likely to take a breather.

The reason is that Leverkusen has run away with the German Bundesliga title. There is nothing for Dortmund to play for. So at -135, Leipzig is an overlay.

Soccer Betting Pick: RB Leipzig

La Liga

Atletico Madrid vs. Athletic Bilbao

• When: Saturday, April 27th, 2024. 3:00pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Atletico Madrid -111 // Athletic Bilbao +300

This is a massive matchup that is likely to determine which four squads La Liga sends to next season’s Champions League. Heading into this huge matchup, Atletico should have a 3 points lead over Bilbao.

3 points is the exact number AB will make up if they pull off the upset victory. The chances of that happening are, well, about 3-to-1, which is exactly what the odds are on AB to pull off the upset. Will it happen? Based on how Madrid bombed against Dortmund, yes, it will.

Soccer Betting Pick: Athletic Bilbao

Serie A

Juventus vs. AC Milan

• When: Saturday, April 27th, 2024. 12:00pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Juventus +123 vs AC Milan +230

Juve versus AC Milan is one of the best rivalries in soccer. It might be the second-best rivalry in Serie A after Inter versus AC. In this weekend’s game, Juventus has the edge because this happens in Turin.

Also, Milan and Juve are both secure in their Champions League berths for next season and there is no way either can catch Inter. Give Juve the nod because in the last head-to-head, Juventus bested AC Milan 1-0 even though the match was in Milan.

Soccer Betting Pick: Juventus

Napoli vs. AS Roma

• When: Sunday, April 28th, 2024. 12:00pm ET.

• Soccer Odds: Juventus +123 // AC Milan +230

Roma offers overlay odds to pull off the upset win. No doubt, beating Napoli in Napoli is a tall task. But Roma’s form exceeds the Napolean’s form.

Napoli shows a single victory in their last 4. Roma shows 4 wins and a draw. 2 of the 4 wins were against AC Milan. The other was versus Lazio. The +278 makes Roma the top overlay soccer play of the week.

Soccer Betting Pick: AS Roma
