Bundesliga

RB Leipzig vs. Bayer Leverkusen

• When: Saturday, January 20th, 2024. 12:30pm.

• Soccer Odds: RB Leipzig +140 // Bayer Leverkusen +160

Leipzig is the favorite because this happens on RB’s pitch. But Leverkusen is the top team in the Bundesliga so far this season.

The +160 underdog shows 45 points, 4 points ahead of Bayern and 12 points ahead of Leipzig. Although Leipzig for sure can win this, the +160 makes Leverkusen more than playable. Back the Bundesliga Standings leader to cash.

Soccer Betting Pick: Bayer Leverkusen

English Premier League

Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace

• When: Saturday, January 20th, 2024. 7:30am.

• Soccer Odds: Arsenal -1.5 -111 // Crystal Palace +1.5 -123

At first glance, this is a no-brainer. Arsenal easily covers. But a closer look, and the reason Crystal offers a -123 payout at +1.5, is because the Gunners are in awful form.

Arsenal heads into this on a 3-match losing streak: 0-2 versus West Ham, 1-2 against Fulham, and 0-2 versus Liverpool in an FA Cup match. Take the 1.5 goals on Crystal.

Soccer Betting Pick: Crystal Palace

AFC Bournemouth vs. Liverpool

• When: Sunday, January 21st, 2024. 11:30am.

• Soccer Odds: AFC Bournemouth +320 // Liverpool -145

So far, Liverpool is proving last season was an anomaly. As of January 15, Pool has a 2 points lead over Aston Villa and Man City atop the Premier Standings.

Although the Reds are playing excellent soccer, they’re an underlay at -145, though. Bournemouth is on fire. The home team in this has won 4-of-5. The loss in the last 5 came against Tottenham on the road. Backing the home dog makes sense.

Soccer Betting Pick: AFC Bournemouth

Serie A

Udinese vs. AC Milan

• When: Saturday, January 20th, 2024. 2:45pm.

• Soccer Odds: Udinese +295 // AC Milan -119

Milan is back to playing excellent soccer. The loss in the last 5 games against Atalanta in a Coppa Italia matchup. Like most UEFA teams, AC Milan may not be taking their national league matches as seriously as their UEFA league matches.

Also, Atalanta is a decent Serie A squad. Udinese shows a single victory in their last 5. The chalk gets it done.

Soccer Betting Pick: AC Milan

Lecce vs. Juventus

• When: Sunday, January 21st, 2024. 2:45pm.

• Soccer Odds: Lecce +390 // Juventus -135

Juve is on fire. In their last form cycle, Juventus is 5-0 with victories over Frosinone, AS Roma, Salernitana back-to-back, and Frosinone again in their last.

In their last 5, Lecce has dropped 3-of-4 with a 1-1 draw against Cagliari. The home dog will fight hard, but Juve is too good of a club to fall to Lecce.

Soccer Betting Pick: Juventus

La Liga

Real Betis vs. Barcelona

• When: Sunday, January 21st, 2024. 2:45pm.

• Soccer Odds: Real Betis +300 // Barcelona -130

Barça had been playing decent soccer, but in their last, Robert Lewandowski and his mates crashed back to earth. Barcelona lost 4-1 to Real Madrid in the latest El Clasico, a Super Copa match.

Betis won their match, beating Granada 1-0. For sure, Lewa, Gudogan, and their buds should get back on the winning track. But at +300, the home team is an overlay.

Soccer Betting Pick: Real Betis
