English Premier League

Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Tottenham Hotspur

• When: Thursday, December 28th, 2023. 2:30pm.

• Soccer Odds: Brighton & Hove Albion +148 // Tottenham Hotspur +147

Home squad Brighton lost to Arsenal on December 17, but other than that loss, Brighton has played decent soccer, drawing against Burnley and Crystal and beating Brentford and Marseille in a Europa League match.

But Tottenham has won 3 straight: 4-1 against Newcastle, 2-0 versus Nottingham, and 2-1 against Everton. The Hotspur prevail.

Soccer Betting Pick: Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal vs. West Ham United

• When: Thursday, December 28th, 2023. 3:15pm.

• Soccer Odds: Arsenal -1.5 -110 // West Ham United +1.5 -125

Arsenal is playing okay, but not excellent soccer. The Gunners have lost once and drawn twice in their last 5. In the last, Arsenal drew 1-1 versus Liverpool.

West Ham has won 3-of-4. The loss in the last 5 came versus Liverpool in a road match. West Ham are playing well enough to pull off the straight up win. Taking the goals is the logical play.

Soccer Betting Pick: West Ham United

Luton Town vs. Chelsea

• When: Saturday, December 30th, 2023. 7:30am.

• Soccer Odds: Luton Town +390 // Chelsea -164

Luton Town had lost 3 straight, but in their last couple of matches, the home underdog in this has performed great. Luton Town beat Newcastle 1-0 on December 23. Then in their next on December 26, Luton scored 3 goals against Sheffield in a 3-2 road win.

Chelsea also beat Sheffield and Newcastle in their last 2 wins. But the Blues’ victory over Newcastle came via penalty kicks in a Carabao Cup matchup. The odds make the home side an overlay.

Soccer Betting Pick: Luton Town

Nottingham Forest vs. Manchester United

• When: Saturday, December 30th, 2023. 12:30pm.

• Soccer Odds: Nottingham Forest +215 // Manchester United +110

At the time of this writing, Man United had a 3-2 lead over Aston Villa in a match at Old Trafford. If United hung on for the win, it would be their first in their last 6.

Nottingham beat Newcastle 3-1 on December 26. The home dog in this hadn’t been playing well, but the victory in their last is a signal that Nottingham may step it up. Give the home team a chance.

Soccer Betting Pick: Nottingham Forest

Serie A

AC Milan vs. Sassuolo

• When: Saturday, December 30th, 2023. 12:00pm.

• Soccer Odds: AC Milan -1.25 -109 // Sassuolo +1.25 -127

Sassuolo isn’t playing well. In their last 4, the road dog in this has a draw against Udinese and losses versus Genoa, Cagliari, and AS Roma.

AC Milan beat Monza 3-0 in their last home game. Although AC drew against Salernitana in their last match, they should step it up enough for at least a 2-goal victory in this.

Soccer Betting Pick: AC Milan

Juventus vs. AS Roma

• When: Saturday, December 30th, 2023. 2:45pm.

• Soccer Odds: Juventus +103 // AS Roma +285

Both teams are playing well. Juve does have an edge because this match takes place on Juventus’pitch in Turin.

However, AS Roma is hot, having beaten Napoli 2-0 in their last. Roma also bested Juve in the last head-to-head and forced a draw in the match before. A draw in this is the likely outcome./p>

Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
