Champions League
Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain
- When: Wednesday, Mar. 8, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Bayern Munich -120 // Paris Saint-Germain +270
Bayern hosts Paris Saint-Germain in what many feel is the most important Champions League match of the week. Both squads are favorites to win the CL this season.
Bayern has a 1-goal lead after beating PSG at Parc de Princes in the first leg. Most of the money is going to Bayern to close the deal, but Paris is been playing lights out.
Since losing to Bayern, PSG has won 3 straight in dominant fashion. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi will start. Paris turns the tables with a stunning victory.
Soccer Betting Pick: Paris Saint-Germain
Europa League
Sporting CP vs. Arsenal
- When: Thursday, Mar. 9, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Sporting CP +250 // Arsenal +112
Both these teams are playing great soccer. Road team Arsenal has won 4 straight. The Gunners blasted Aston Villa 4-2 on Feb. 18 and then dominated Everton 4-0 on March 1.
But Everton is one of the worst teams in the Premier this season. So in a way, Sporting CP’s 4 straight wins impress more. Not only that, but Sporting plays the Gunners in Portugal. The home team gets the call.
Soccer Betting Pick: Sporting CP
Manchester United vs. Real Betis
- When: Thursday, Mar. 9, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Manchester United -244 // Real Betis +649
Betis shows 3 wins and a draw in their last 4. The draw came in a home match against Real Madrid. So Betis heads into this playing excellent soccer.
United lost their last match, and it wasn’t close. By not close, we mean Liverpool beat Man U 7- 0. The Red Devils should play a much better game on Thursday, but the odds make the home team unplayable. At +649, Betis is worth backing.
Soccer Betting Pick: Real Betis
English Premier League
Leicester City vs. Chelsea
- When: Saturday, Mar. 11, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Leicester City +280 // Chelsea +101
On March 4, Chelsea broke a 3-game losing streak with a 1-0 victory over Leeds. The Blues will use momentum from the win to take on Dortmund on Tuesday in a massive Champions League match.
But although Chelsea should play well against their Bundesliga rivals, the Blues could struggle in this. Chelsea only beat Leeds by a goal and now the Blues take on a tough Leicester side. Ah, but LC has lost 4 straight heading into the week. The road team is the play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Chelsea
Serie A
Napoli vs. Atalanta
- When: Saturday, Mar. 11, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Napoli -152 // Atalanta +412
On March 3, Lazio ended Napoli’s 13-match winning streak by beating the home team in this 1-0. No doubt, Napoli will want to get back on the winning track with a victory over Atalanta.
Beating Atalanta shouldn’t be difficult to accomplish. Atalanta has a win, a draw, and 3 losses in their last 5. The home team prevails.
Soccer Betting Pick: Napoli
La Liga
Athletic Bilbao vs. Barcelona
- When: Sunday, Mar. 12, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Athletic Bilbao +247 // Barcelona +124
Barcelona has won 2 straight over Real Madrid and Valencia, but let’s be honest. Barça is such a big chalk over Bilbao because of their name.
Still, AB shows 3 losses and a draw in their last 4. No not only that, but Barça has won the last couple of head-to-head matches by a combined 8 goals to 0.
Soccer Betting Pick: Barcelona
