Europa League
PSV Eindhoven vs. Arsenal
- When: Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022
- Soccer Odds: PSV Eindhoven +183 // Arsenal +139
In the first leg, Arsenal broke Eindhoven’s 3-match winning streak. The road team in this beat PSV 1-0 in a match that happened in England. Since then, the home dog suffered a 4-2 loss to Dutch Eredivisie rival FC Groningen.
But although Eindhoven’s form isn’t great, the Gunners could be in for a rude awakening in this. Arsenal drew 1-1 versus rival Southampton in their last. That could be a sign the road chalk is vulnerable.
Soccer Betting Pick: PSV Eindhoven
English Premier League
Leicester City vs. Manchester City
- When: Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022
- Soccer Odds: Leicester City +1.75 -109 // Manchester City -1.75 -105
When City is on, they play like the best club team in the world. But the Citizens haven’t been on in their last 5, losing a match against Liverpool and drawing against Dortmund and Copenhagen. The wins versus Southampton and Brighton were nice, but those victories shouldn’t give soccer handicappers confidence the Sky Blues can cover this handicap.
LC is on a 2-match winning streak. If you’re feeling lucky, go Leicester money line. If you want to play it safe, and playing it safe is never a bad idea, take the goals.
Soccer Betting Pick: Leicester City
Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Chelsea
- When: Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022
- Soccer Odds: Brighton & Hove Albion +192 // Chelsea +150
The Blues didn’t rock it in their last couple of Premier League matches, drawing against Brentford and Man United. But although Chelsea didn’t play excellent soccer, they should have no trouble beating Brighton on Saturday.
The home team in this shows 3 losses and 2 draws in their last 5. Brighton is a quality team when they’re in form. The home squad isn’t in form.
Soccer Betting Pick: Chelsea
La Liga
Valencia vs. Barcelona
- When: Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022
- Soccer Odds: Valencia +446 // Barcelona -169
Save for a loss to rival Real Madrid in the latest rendition of the El Clasico, Barca has dominated their recent La Liga opponents. Robert Lewandowski and his mates beat Celta 1-0, Villareal 3-0, and Athletic Bilbao 4-0 in their last 3 Spanish Primera Division contests. Valencia fell to Mallorca in their last. Laying the -169 makes sense.
Soccer Betting Pick: Barcelona
Bundesliga
Bayern Munich vs. Mainz
- When: Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022
- Soccer Odds: Bayern Munich -2.0 +103 // Mainz +2.0 -119
Home team Bayern has won 4 straight. Rival Mainz has won 3 straight. The road team beat the home squad in the last head-to-head.
We shouldn’t read too much into Mainz’s victory because it happened on April 30. What we can read into is how Bayern has dominated their last 4 opponents by a combined 16 goals to 4.
If the odds were different, Mainz might be a decent play. But at +103, we’re willing to lay the -2 on one of the best club teams on the planet.
Soccer Betting Pick: Bayern Munich
FC Union Berlin vs. Borussia Monchengladbach
- When: Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022
- Soccer Odds: FC Union Berlin +110 // Borussia Monchengladbach +268
It’s towards the end of November and, amazingly, Union Berlin continues to lead on the Bundesliga Standings. As of Oct. 26, Berlin has 23 points, Bayern is second with 22, and Freiburg is third with 21.
Berlin’s lead should evaporate after the Qatar World Cup when Bayern’s players can get down to business. Until then, Union may enjoy being the leader of the pack.
In any case, Monchengladbach’s form is a mess. The road squad has lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 5. The +110 odds make the home team an overlay.
Soccer Betting Pick: FC Union Berlin
