English Premier League
Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur
- When: Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Manchester City -152 // Tottenham Hotspur +385
Both teams head into this after losses. Tottenham dropped their last by 2 goal in a match against Premier League leader Arsenal.
City fell to their main rivals, Manchester United. Before losing to United, the Sky Blues fell to one of the EPL’s worst teams, Southampton. No doubt, the Hotspur will put up a fight. But Man City remains one of the leagues top teams even if they’ve hit a rough patch. Sky Blues roll.
Soccer Betting Pick: Manchester City
Spanish Copa del Rey
Villarreal vs. Real Madrid
- When: Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Villarreal +173 // Real Madrid +123
Real Madrid looks to bounce back after a stunning defeat in the Supercopa on Sunday. Facing rival Barcelona, Real failed big time, falling by 2 goals in a 3-1 match. It was a bad El Clasico for El Blanco.
Villarreal drew 1-1 versus Celta Vigo in their last. Before the draw, the home team in this had won 4 straight. One of the wins was a 2-1 victory over Real. There’s nothing to imply a similar outcome won’t happen on Thursday.
Soccer Betting Pick: Villarreal
German Bundesliga
RB Leipzig vs. Bayern Munich
- When: Friday, Jan. 20, 2023
- Soccer Odds: RB Leipzig +292 // Bayern Munich -118
Bayern has a 6-point lead over third place Leipzig on the Bundesliga standings, which is why this match is ultra-important. What makes it more interesting is that both teams head into this playing great soccer.
Bayern shows 4 wins and a draw in their last 5. Home team Leipzig has won 5 straight. Bayern beat Leipzig 5-3 in the last head-to-head. On Friday, the team has a real good chance of turning the tables and exacting their revenge.
Soccer Betting Pick: RB Leipzig
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Bayer Leverkusen
- When: Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Borussia Monchengladbach +138 // Bayer Leverkusen +175
Gladbach versus Leverkusen should be one of this weekend’ top soccer matches. Leverkusen has played like a team on a mission, winning 5 straight.
Ah, but two of the victories happened in club friendly matches. Monchengladbach has won just 2-of-4 and hasn’t played since Nov. 11. Still, Gladbach beat Dortmund in the Nov. 11 match and this happens on their pitch. Backing the home squad makes sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Borussia Monchengladbach
La Liga
Athletic Bilbao vs. Real Madrid
- When: Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Athletic Bilbao +205 // Real Madrid +142
Things don’t get easier for Real on Sunday. El Blanco takes on Bilbao a few days after throwing down against Villareal.
But although Bilbao is a quality La Liga squad, Real should break a 2-match losing streak. RM remains one of UEFA’s top teams. So give the road side the nod in this one.
Soccer Betting Pick: Borussia Monchengladbach
Serie A
Juventus vs. Atalanta
- When: Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Juventus +111 // Atalanta +260
Juve had played great up until a Jan. 13 match versus Napoli. The home team in this had won 4 straight before facing Serie A’s best team this season.
Napoli crushed Juventus 5-1. Juve’s defense had no answer for the Napoleons. On Sunday, Juve faces a tough Atalanta side that has won 2 straight.
For sure, the home team can win this. But Atalanta offers overlay odds. Also, Juve could step onto the pitch continuing to suffer mentally from the massive beating Napoli handed them.
Soccer Betting Pick: Atalanta
