English Premier League
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Manchester United
- When: Thursday, May 4, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Brighton & Hove Albion +114 // Manchester United +226
On April 23, Brighton and Man U played to a 0-0 draw in an FA Cup Semifinal. The Red Devils got the victory via penalties.
In their first match right after the FA Cup game, Brighton lost by 2 goals in a 3-1 match at Nottingham. But after that, the home favorite in this rolled past Wolverhampton 6-0. Brighton has revenge on their mind. The home team gets it.
Soccer Betting Pick: Brighton & Hove Albion
Newcastle United vs. Arsenal
- When: Sunday, May 7, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Newcastle United +161 // Arsenal +161
Arsenal has a win, 3 draws, and a loss in their last 5. The Gunners are fighting for the English Premier League title. Heading into the week, Arsenal is a point behind Manchester City.
Newcastle is playing lights out. The home team in this has won 4-of-5 with a loss. This match can go either way. But Newcastle is due for a draw, they’ve got 11 on the season. The draw is the play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Draw
Spanish Copa del Rey Final
Real Madrid vs. Osasuna
- When: Saturday, May 6, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Real Madrid -1.5 +104 // Osasuna +1.5 -119
Both teams are playing decent soccer. Osasuna has 3 wins and 2 losses in their last 4. Real Madrid shows 4 wins and a loss in their last 5.
Real’s loss came against Giron, a team they were favored to dominate. But Karim Benzema and his mates bounced back after the loss with a nice 4-2 victory Almeria.
Osasuna fell by 2 goals to Sociedad in their last. Real can cover this handicap.
Soccer Betting Pick: Real Madrid
Serie A
AC Milan vs. Lazio
- When: Saturday, May 6, 2023
- Soccer Odds: AC Milan +105 // Lazio +238
Two of Serie A’s top teams throw down on Saturday when AC Milan hosts Lazio. Milan is the chalk because this happens on AC's home pitch at Giuseppe Meazza.
Also, Lazio is on a 2-match losing streak. But Milan has the Champions League Semifinals against rival Internazionale to think about.
Milan’s mind might be on the upcoming aggregate versus Inter instead of the match. Lazio can pull off the upset victory.
Soccer Betting Pick: Lazio
AS Roma vs. Internazionale
- When: Saturday, May 6, 2023
- Soccer Odds: AS Roma +164 // Internazionale +179
Like AC Milan versus Lazio, Internazionale faces off against a rival they may not be pumped to beat. Inter has the aggregate versus rival AC Milan coming up.
So we shouldn’t expect Inter to go all out when they’ve got a huge Champions League Semifinal match a few days afterwards. No doubt, Inter can win, but the best play is on the home team. At +164, the odds on Roma are more than fair.
Soccer Betting Pick: Internazionale
Atalanta vs. Juventus
- When: Sunday, May 7, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Atalanta +146 // Juventus +180
Atalanta versus Juventus projects as one of this weekend’s more entertaining matches. Atalanta has won 3 with a loss and a draw in their last 5.
Juve has lost 3-of-4 with a draw but Juve’s last 2 losses were to Napoli and Internazionale. This is a step down for Juventus.
These two have drawn in the last couple of head-to-head matches. So although Juve’s odds attract, backing the draw is the best play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Internazionale
