Europa League Semifinals
AS Roma vs. Bayer Leverkusen
- When: Thursday, May 11, 2023
- Soccer Odds: AS Roma +113 // Bayer Leverkusen +252
Neither team is playing great soccer. Home team AS Roma has a single victory in their last 5 and that was versus overmatched Feyenoord Rotterdam on April 20.
Bayer Leverkusen shows 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss in their last 5. 1 of the victories was a nice 2-0 win against RB Leipzig.
This can go either way, but Leverkusen offers much better odds than they should. The road underdog lost by a single goal to Cologne in their last and drew against Union Berlin in the match before facing Cologne. Back the overlay road squad to cash.
Soccer Betting Pick: Bayer Leverkusen
Juventus vs. Sevilla
- When: Thursday, May 11, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Juventus -122 // Sevilla +355
Both teams are playing terrific soccer. Road dog Sevilla has 1 loss in their last 5. The loss came versus Girona on May 1. Sevilla bounced back after the loss with a terrific 3-2 win over Espanyol.
After losses to Inter and Napoli, Juventus bounced back in their last 2. Juve beat Lecce 2-1 on May 3 and Atalanta 2-0 on May 7. Juve is playing too well to lose on their pitch. Backing chalk makes sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Juventus
English Premier League
Aston Villa vs. Tottenham
- When: Saturday, May 13, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Aston Villa +119 // Tottenham +195
Tottenham had been in awful form, but in their last, the Hotspur prevailed. The road team in this had lost 3-of-5 with a draw until a 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace on May 6.
Aston Villa shows the opposite form. On April 15, Aston beat Newcastle 3-0. Then on April 25, Aston beat Fulham 1-0. However, in their last 2 games, Aston shows losses.
Although this looks like it can go either way, Tottenham shouldn’t win 2 straight while Aston shouldn’t lose 3 straight. The home team is the play.
Soccer Betting Pick: Aston Villa
Manchester United vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers
- When: Saturday, May 13, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Manchester United -1.25 -111 // Wolverhampton Wanderers +1.25 +104
Although Wolverhampton won their last match, a 1-0 game versus Aston Villa, Man United should have no trouble covering the handicap.
United is on a 2-match losing streak versus Brighton & Hove and West Ham. Both losses were road tilts, though. Also, both losses were by a single goal.
Back at Old Trafford, the Red Devils should roll. United gets back on the winning track with a multiple-goal victory.
Soccer Betting Pick: Manchester United
Everton vs. Manchester City
- When: Sunday, May 14, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Everton +1.5 +101 // Manchester City -1.5 -116
Everton broke out with an excellent performance on May 8. A big time road chalk, the home team in this put a 5-1 beating onto Brighton.
On Sunday, Everton attempts to keep it going in a match versus Manchester City. The Sky Blue tackle Real Madrid in the first leg of a Champions League Semifinal aggregate on Tuesday.
City may not have their mind on business in this. Everton can keep this closer than the spread.
Soccer Betting Pick: Everton
Arsenal vs. Brighton & Hove Albion
- When: Sunday, May 14, 2023
- Soccer Odds: Arsenal -123 // Brighton & Hove Albion +270
Both teams have just 2 victories in the last 5. But although Brighton could bounce back from their last, a terrible loss to Everton, it’s impossible to back B&H given the odds on their opponent.
Arsenal is a point behind Man City on the Premier standings. A victory on Sunday could put the Gunners back into first place depending on what happens in Man City versus Everton.
Arsenal won’t allow a reeling Brighton team to right the ship in this. The Gunners prevail.
Soccer Betting Pick: Arsenal
