Europa League
Ajax Amsterdam vs. FC Union Berlin
- When: Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Ajax Amsterdam -106 // FC Union Berlin +294
Both teams are playing lights out. Union Berlin, the road team in this match, is hanging with Bayern on the Bundesliga standings. Berlin is on a 5-match winning streak.
After a draw versus Eredivisie rival Volendam, Ajax has scored 4 straight wins. Both teams are playing well enough to win. The difference is that Berlin upset Leipzig in their last. So the road team can bounce in this.
Soccer Betting Pick: Ajax Amsterdam
Barcelona vs. Manchester United
- When: Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Barcelona -137 // Manchester United +357
These two faced off at the 2019 Champions League and Barca rolled. Barcelona blasted United 3-0.
The 2023 version of the Red Devils is much stronger than the 2019 squad. Man U dominated Leeds 2-0 in their last but Barcelona is playing too well to lose. Still, ten Hag’s team is on fire.
It’s impossible to go against United, which is why the draw looks promising.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
Sevilla vs. PSV Eindhoven
- When: Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Sevilla +123 // PSV Eindhoven +226
La Liga squad Sevilla shows a win-loss-win-loss pattern. Sevilla heads into this off a victory after dusting Mallorca 2-0.
This is a major step up. The last time Sevilla faced a team the quality of PSV, it ended Barcelona 3 and Sevilla 0.
Eindhoven offers much better odds than they should. PSV is good enough to march into Spain and get the upset win.
Soccer Betting Pick: PSV Eindhoven
English Premier League
Newcastle United vs. Liverpool
- When: Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Newcastle United +140 // Liverpool +192
Pool fans are upset. The fans are angry that Liverpool didn’t do enough to convince Sadio Mane to stay. It’s so bad that the Reds are underdogs versus Newcastle on Saturday.
The home team in this is in good form. Newcastle has 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5. But the Reds’ form may be on the turnaround.
Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 in their last. The odds suggest Liverpool plays well. Grabbing the +192 on the road squad makes sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Liverpool
Manchester United vs. Leicester City
- When: Sunday, Feb. 19, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Manchester United -172 // Leicester City +445
This should be an excellent match. United has a tough week, which is why they might struggle on Sunday.
United must play Leicester a few days after tackling Barca. That won’t be easy because LC is on a 3-match winning streak.
The Red Devils won the last match 1-0. Leicester can turn the tables. The odds make the road squad more than playable.
Soccer Betting Pick: Leicester City
Bundesliga
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Bayern Munich
- When: Saturday, Feb. 18, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Borussia Monchengladbach +1.5 -115 // Bayern Munich -1.5 -101
Gladbach is a disaster. The home underdog has lost 2-of-3 by 3 goals. The issue is that both losses came versus teams that aren’t close to Bayern’s level.
Hoffenheim beat Gladbach 4-1 on Jan. 28. Hertha blasted Monchen 4-1 in Gladbach’s last. Bayern should win this by at least 2 and could dominate their rivals by 3 or more.
Soccer Betting Pick: Bayern Munich
