Bundesliga

SC Freiburg vs. Bayern Munich

• When: Friday, March 1st, 2024. 2:30pm.

• Soccer Odds: SC Freiburg +440 // Bayern Munich -222

Freiburg had been on a 2-game losing streak with defeats versus Stuttgart and Dortmund. But in 3 straight the home team dog in this performed well, drawing against Lens and then beating Lens in a pair of Europa League matches and drawing against Frankfurt.

Bayern lost 3 straight last week. Thomas Tuchel won’t return to Bayern after this season. So it feels like the once unbeatable Bundesliga squad has no reason to put forth their best effort in this.

Soccer Betting Pick: SC Freiburg

Serie A

Lazio vs. AC Milan

• When: Friday, March 1st, 2024. 2:45pm.

• Soccer Odds: Lazio +165 // AC Milan +149

After 3 straight wins, road squad AC Milan has hit a snag. Milan fell to Monza and Stade Rennais in a Europa League match.

For sure, Milan can get it going this week, but Lazio is tough to beat at home. Not only that, but the team that resides in Rome beat Bayern last week in a Champions League match and shows a quality victory over Torino on Feb 22.

Soccer Betting Pick: Lazio

Napoli vs. Juventus

• When: Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. 2:45pm.

• Soccer Odds: Napoli +142 // Juventus +180

Neither squad is playing great soccer. Juve and Napoli aren’t sharp right now. So the best play in this one is to go for the draw.

However, if you do want to back a team on the moneyline to win in regulation, consider going with Juventus. Juve is in second place behind Inter on the Serie A Standings. So Juventus could surprise as the road dog.

Soccer Betting Pick: Juventus

English Premier League

Manchester City vs. Manchester United

• When: Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. 10:30am.

• Soccer Odds: Manchester City -1.5 -120 // Manchester United +1.5 -123

For the first time in a long time, Man U should compete against Man City. From Jan 28 to Feb 18, the Red Devils won 5 straight over Newport County, Wolverhampton, West Ham, Aston Villa, and Luton Town.

City is winning but they aren’t dominating. The odds for sure make Man U a solid play.

Soccer Betting Pick: Manchester United

La Liga

Atletico Madrid vs. Real Betis

• When: Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. 10:15am.

• Soccer Odds: Atletico Madrid -189 // Real Betis +420

Both teams have a single win in their latest form cycle. Atletico beat Las Palmas while Real Betis took it to Cadiz.

But although Atletico hasn’t won a lot, the home squad in this does show a quality Champions League loss to Internazionale. Inter beat Atletico by a single goal in a 1-0 match. AM gets it done.

Soccer Betting Pick: Atletico Madrid

Athletic Bilbao vs. Barcelona

• When: Sunday, March 3rd, 2024. 3:00pm.

• Soccer Odds: Athletic Bilbao +149 // Barcelona +182

Athletic Bilbao beat Barcelona 4-2 in the last head-to-head. Also, this happens on AB’s pitch,which makes the home team a solid play.

Still, Barca looked good versus Napoli in a 1-1 draw. The Champions League match happened in Italy, which makes Barcelona’s performance even more impressive. Also, how often can we back Barca at close to +200?

Soccer Betting Pick: Barcelona
