English Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
- When: Saturday, Apr. 8, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Tottenham Hotspur +150 // Brighton & Hove Albion +178
The Hotspur are just lukewarm favorites even though this happens on their pitch. The reason? Tottenham has a single win in their last 5. Wolverhampton beat Tottenham on March 4. Since then, the Hotspur have shown a win against Nottingham and 3 draws.
Brighton has 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5. Tottenham won the last head-to-head, but Brighton won the head-to-head before. It’s tough to turn our backs on the team with the better form. Brighton is the play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Brighton & Hove Albion
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Chelsea
- When: Saturday, Apr. 8, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Wolverhampton Wanderers +299 // Chelsea +100
The Wanderers and Blues show similar form. The home team underdog fell apart after beating Tottenham, losing to Newcastle, Leeds United, and drawing with Wolverhampton.
Chelsea has 2 draws and a loss in their last 3. Losing to Everton is a big deal. But the draw versus Liverpool on April 4 was nice. Still, Chelsea will have a new manager soon and this comes right before a huge Champions League match against Real. The Blues are vulnerable.
Soccer Betting Pick: Wolverhampton Wanderers
Liverpool vs. Arsenal
- When: Sunday, Apr. 9, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Liverpool +155 // Arsenal +166
Home pitch means so much in soccer that a team like Liverpool, which hasn’t performed well this season, is a favorite over Arsenal, the Premier League leaders.
The Gunners boast an 8-point lead over Manchester City on the Premier standings. Arsenal has won 3 with a loss and a draw in their last 5. The Gunners are playing too well to ignore. Arsenal is the play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Arsenal
La Liga
Real Madrid vs. Villarreal
- When: Saturday, Apr. 8, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Real Madrid -185 // Villarreal +514
Both teams are in excellent form. The key for this one is to consider how much attention Carlo Ancelotti and Real will be paying to this game.
Ancelotti knows the chances of El Blanco winning La Liga this season aren’t good. Barcelona’s lead is too much to overcome. But Real has a real shot of repeating as Champions League titlists.
Villarreal is a quality club that gives it their all no matter the opponent. The dog in this could catch the home chalk napping. Real should win. But the odds make Villarreal the play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Villareal
Bundesliga
SC Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich
- When: Saturday, Apr. 8, 2023
- Soccer Odds: SC Freiburg +1.25 -115 // Bayern Munich -1.25 +100
On April 4, Freiburg upset Bayern 2-1. The match happened in Bayern. So the odds listed could be much different when we go to bet this game.
In any case, Bayern is the play. Munich almost never loses two in a row. Not only that, but the last time Bayern lost, a 2-1 match against Leverkusen, Munich responded by blasting Dortmund 4-2 in their next match.
Soccer Betting Pick: Bayern Munich
Serie A
Lazio vs. Juventus
- When: Saturday, Apr. 8, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Lazio +176 // Juventus +186
Serie A’s top contest this weekend pits Lazio against Juventus. Both teams are playing well enough to win this.
Lazio has beaten AS Roma and Monza in their last two. Juve drew 1-1 versus Inter Milano in their last. Before the draw, the slight road dog in this had won 4 straight. No doubt this will be a tough game. Juve, though, has hit their stride.
Soccer Betting Pick: Juventus
