MIKE'S 4* EPL SOCCER BOOKIE BU$TER

Aston Villa is coming into the weekend in fourth place, which would give them a spot in the Champions League next season if the season ended today.

Villa is desperate to get back on track after two winless games, and the team is a solid 10-1-3 home at Villa Park for the season.

Wolves are a mid-table team, and I don't think the visitors can match the home team's motivation and hunger. 

4* PLAY ON ASTON VILLA. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* EPL SOCCER TOTAL OF THE MONTH

While Aston Villa has been going through a minor slump, they're still capable of scoring. Each of Villa's last three games has seen four goals or more and United has been heating up on the offensive end as well, scoring three goals or more in three consecutive games and two goals or more in each of their last five. 

I expect both teams to score plenty, similar to as their previous encounter where United came from behind to win 3-2.

MAX BET ALERT: 5* EPL TOTAL OF THE MONTH

Sheffield United ranks dead last in the Premier League with only nine points and 15 goals scored after 20 games. Four of their last five games have gone under three goals, and here they'll host a West Ham team that is banged up and 3-0 to the under in its last three games. 

5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MAX BET ALERT - MIKE'S 5* EPL GAME OF THE WEEK

Only five points separate the two teams in the standings, but I have Newcastle as the much more talented team and they'll be hungry for a win following three losses. Fulham on the other hand are in a potential flat spot after back-to-back 5-0 wins. 

5* PLAY ON NEWCASTLE. 

MIKE'S 5* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET

This looks like a good spot to fade Bournemouth who are still only 15th in the standings despite going undefeated in their last four games. They are due for a clunker and Man United have heated up following a slow start to the season. 

5* PLAY ON MANCHESTER UNITED -1. 

MIKE'S EURO 2024 QUALIFIER MONEYMAKER

Austria have superior talent on their roster and a win here would see them secure their place in the European Championship. Azerbaijan have a 1-1-3 record and a -7 goal differential through five games. Austria have a 4-1-1 record, a +7 goal differential, and 14 goals scored in six games. 

3* PLAY ON AUSTRIA -1.5. 

5* MAX BET - Mike's EPL Soccer Total of the Month

Fulham have a 5-10 goal differential through six games while Chelsea have a 5-6 goal differential through their six games. Only one of the last five head-to-head meetings went over 2.5 goals, and that game saw three goals. 

5* play on UNDER. 

Mike's Liverpool/Newcastle EPL BOOKIE BU$TER

Newcastle opened the season with a convincing 5-1 win against Aston Villa but created virtually nothing at Manchester City the following weekend. Liverpool has opened the season with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea (a game they probably deserved to win) followed by a 3-1 win against Bournemouth. 

Sure, Newcastle are back at St. James' Park here, but note that Liverpool are undefeated in the last 13 head-to-head meetings with Newcastle.

With a solid record of two consecutive 4-1 wins, Brighton's early-season form is nothing short of impressive. This momentum, combined with their exceptional offensive prowess, positions them as the team to watch in the EPL this season. 

Moreover, Brighton has an impressive track record at home in recent seasons and while West Ham's recent win over Chelsea demonstrates their potential, Brighton's consistent performance and goal-scoring capabilities set them apart.

Bet this TOP PLAY on Brighton -1 with 4% of your bankroll. 

Mike's Chelsea/West Ham EPL BOOKIE BREAKER

In their season premiere, West Ham managed to salvage a point against Bournemouth, while Chelsea held Liverpool to a draw at Stamford Bridge. 

Chelsea are undefeated in both competitive and friendly matches and will be interesting to follow under new manager Mauricio Pochettino. They dominated possession (65%) against Liverpool which is not an easy thing to do, and I like the price we get on Chelsea in this one. 

Bet on Chelsea with 3% of your bankroll. 

5* EPL MAX BET - Mike's Soccer Game of the Month

In the upcoming match at Molineux, Wolverhampton Wanderers seek their first points under Gary O'Neil, after an impressive yet unlucky 1-0 defeat to Manchester United.

Brighton & Hove Albion's strong start saw them secure a convincing 4-1 win over Luton Town.

Despite Wolves' dominance and 23 shots against United, their lack of finishing let them down. Brighton's attacking prowess, evident in their 71% possession and 27 shots against Luton, positions them as formidable contenders.

Riding high on their opening performance, Brighton appears poised to exploit their attacking strength and secure a victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Aston Villa, boosted by strong signings like Pau Torres and Moussa Diaby, seems set for a strong season under Unai Emery.

Newcastle, led by Eddie Howe, continues its ambitious journey with new talents like Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes. Both teams possess offensive strength, suggesting a high-scoring game, similar to their 3-3 draw in preseason.

Canada/Belgium World Cup BOOKIE BOMBER

Belgium's core is getting old and their star striker Romelu Lukaku is injured. Canada did not only qualify for the World Cup, but they finished No. 1 in the Concacaf Qualifiers Standings. Belgium is overvalued due to being a traditional soccer nation. Do not underestimate the Canadians. 

8* play on Canada. 

10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK - MAN U @ LEICESTER

Man Utd opened the season with a pair of losses, but they've bounced back with a pair of wins. Leicester are still winless in EPL action this season (D2, L3). Leicester have conceded at least two goals every game so far in the Premier League this season while Man U have looked strong defensively in recent outings. This is a good price on Man U.

EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to fade Nottingham coming off a 1-0 triumph over West Ham while Everton will be desperate to get in the win column after opening the season with a couple of losses. They've lost to Chelsea and Aston Villa and is one of only three teams to collect a point in the EPL this season, but Forest is a team Everton should be able to beat and under pressure Everton manager Frank Lampard needs to get the best out of his players. 

10* PLAY ON EVERTON. 

EPL GAME OF THE MONTH - MIKE'S TOP-RATED MAJOR WAGER

West Ham opened the season with a 2-0 loss to Man City. They could not have asked for a tougher opponent for their season opener, and there's a big step in competition here against newly promoted Nottingham Forest who lost 2-0 at Newcastle in their first game of the season.

The Hammers are dealing with injuries, but they should have enough squad depth to take care of business against this Nottingham side. 

10* PLAY ON WEST HAM. 

SOCCER MAJOR WAGER - MIKE'S 10* EPL GAME OF THE WEEK

Southampton are undefeated over their last six games, but this looks like a tough spot as they'll be playing on short rest after defeating Southampton in the FA Cup on Wednesday. Aston Villa last played last Saturday when they snapped a two-game skid with a 2-0 victory over Brighton. The home field and rest advantage give Aston Villa a nice edge. 

10* play on Aston Villa. 

MIKE'S TUESDAY PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER

I expect a big game from Man United after getting knocked out from the FA Cup by Middlesbrough over the weekend. They could not ask for an easier opponent, with Burnley sitting bottom of the league. United have won six of their last nine EPL games. Burnley have lost their last five Premier League home matches against Manchester United without scoring. Manchester United have scored in all 11 of their Premier League away games this season.

8* play on Manchester United. 

EPL BIG BET ALERT - MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK

Norwich is sitting bottom of the table with only 10 points in 20 games. They have lost (and gotten shut out) in six straight EPL games, five of them by at least two goals. Playing at home has not been much of an advantage for the Canaries who have won only one and lost seven of 10 home games. Everton is having a rough season, but they still have a good amount of talent on the team and they are expected to get several players back from injury for this one.

Watford has allowed 29 goals in 15 games, but also scored 15, putting their combined goals per game average at 2.93 goals per game. Watford has scored at least one goal in four straight games. Brentford has a 19-21 goal differential over 15 games, putting their combined average at 2.6 goals per game.

Norwich have recorded back-to-back wins, defeating Brentford and Southampton, but they're still second from the bottom in the table, and this looks like a very difficult matchup against a Wolves team that is sitting in sixth place, just one place outside of European qualification. Wolves are on an impressive run with just one defeat in their last seven EPL games (W5, D1).

MIKE'S TOP-RATED 10* CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GAME OF THE MONTH

Barcelona has won back-to-back Champions League game after dropping the first two rounds of the group stage.

This is a revenge game for Barca after losing 3-0 at Benfica earlier this year.

EURO 2021 WEDNESDAY BOOKIE BREAKER

Sweden have yet to concede a goal in the tournament. They've already qualified to the next round, and a draw here would secure 1st or 2nd place in the group. They'll sit back and soak up the pressure, and I think Poland will struggle to break through.

CZECH REP VS ENGLAND BOOKIE BU$TER

With four clean sheets in a row and only one goal allowed through their last eight games, defense is not an issue for England. They've scored just three goals through their last four games though, and I suspect that both teams would be OK with a 0-0 draw here.  

8* play on UNDER.

TURKEY @ ITALY EURO 2020 OPENER BOOKIE BU$TER

Turkey has a young and talented team, but its inexperienced in big championships and I don't think it'll be able to keep up with a battle-tested Italy squad that has kept eight straight clean sheets through an eight-game winning streak all competitions included. Italy will be looking for a strong start after failing to qualify for World Cup 2018, and add home field advantage in Rome and I think we have a slam dunk winner. 

8* play on Italy -1 (stake back in case of a one-goal Italy win).

Belgium has lost only just one of its last 22 games. It has six wins, two draws and zero defeats through its last eight games while averaging an impressive 2.9 goals per game. Additionally, Belgium is on a super impressive unbeaten home run of 32 games (W26, D6) at home. Croatia is not a bad team, but it is not at the level of Belgium.

SOCCER GAME OF THE YEAR | TOP-RATED PREMIER LEAGUE *BEST BET*

Manchester City hosts Chelsea on Saturday in a preview of the upcoming Champions League final later this month. 

While Man City has the league all but wrapped up already, a win here would seal the deal for sure, and I think manager Pep Guardiola will field a strong team in order to clinch the title with a win against a marquee opponent. 

Chelsea sits in fourth and looking to hold on to a Champions League spot, but I think Man C has the motivational advantage in this one. 

We can also note that Chelsea has left as losers in nine of its past 12 visits to Etihad Stadium. 

This is a great price on a superior home team that also has had one day more of rest compared to the visitors.

10* play on Manchester City. 

SUNDAY AFTERNOON PREMIER LEAGUE PUNI$HER

Sheffield United had dropped six straight games prior to a 1-0 win over Brighton last time out. Still, the team has been doomed for relegation for quite some time, and I don't see the visitors being able to match the intensity from Spurs who are battling for Europa League spots. Tottenham has won six of its last seven home games, the exception a loss to 2nd-placed Manchester United. 

Spurs should make light work of Sheffield United in this one.

Good spot to back Man U as they look to rebound from an FA Cup loss at Leicester. Brighton is in somewhat of a letdown spot, coming off a pair of wins against Newcastle and Southampton. Fighting for relegation, this type of game against top teams is not one Brighton expects to win. I think they won't bother too much with this game to instead put their energy on contests against weaker opponents.

West Ham is having a great season, entering Sunday at fifth-place in the table. Still, while the Hammers have been beating up on the weaker teams, they've more often than not come up short when facing other top-teams. Here they'll come up against a Manchester United team brimming with confidence after defeating local rivals Manchester City in its last EPL game. We can also note that West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard (on loan from Man U) won't be available for this contest.

Leeds United had won back-to-back road games prior to a 2-1 home loss to Everton last time out. I like Leeds to bounce back here against a Crystal Palace side that is coming off a pair of wins over Wolves and Newcastle.  

Palace will be shorthanded with 10 players at risk of missing this game, several regular starters including star attacker Wilfried Zaha who has nine goals in 19 games. 

In addition to Leeds winning the game, I also like the over as I think they'll keep pushing the pedal to the metal and score in bunches.
