MONDAY AFTERNOON EPL TOTAL - 1 PM ET KICK OFF

Sheffield United has an outside shot at making Europa League.

A win here is a must to keep that dream alive though, and winning by a couple of goals to improve their goal difference certainly wouldn't hurt.

As a result, I expect them to throw the kitchen sink at Everton, but as the visitors have absolutely nothing to lose, they won't be afraid to hit the home team on the counter.

I expect an open affair with more goals than the bookmakers seem to give these two teams credit for. 

8* play on OVER.

LATE AFTERNOON SERIE A TOTAL - INTER @ ROMA - 3:45 PM ET KICK OFF

I think there are plenty of reasons to believe that Sunday's main event from Serie A will be a high-scoring encounter. 

Each of Inter's last three games has seen four goals scored with themselves finding the net nine times. As for Roma, they have scored a total of seven goals through a three-game winning streak. 

Both sides are still jostling for table positions with Inter looking to retain their No. 2 spot while Roma is fighting for 5th which would mean Europa League soccer next season, so both teams will go for the win. 

8* play on OVER. 

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A BOOKIE BLA$TER - TORINO @ FIORENTINA

Fiorentina is undefeated through its last four games and defeated Lecce 3-1 last time out. While they shouldn't have to fear relegation sitting 10 points above the relegation zone, a win here would almost certainly put their minds at ease. The same can be said about Torino who hover eight points above the relegation zone, but their play away from home has been an issue all season with losses in 11 of 16 away games. While Fiorentina has been far from the strongest home team in the league, I still like the price on the home side to get the job done in this one. 

8* play on Fiorentina. 

SUNDAY AFTERNOON FA CUP MAJOR WAGER - CHELSEA @ MAN UTD

Manchester United has been one of the hottest teams in the world in 2020, recording six wins and two draws since EPL started back up again and they've kept clean sheets in 13 contests during a 19-game unbeaten run. Still, they'll have little to show for it in the league which is why I expect them to put a big emphasis on this FA Cup semi-finals game against Chelsea. 

The Blues have dropped two of their last five games and only barely beat the already relegated EPL basement boys from Norwich last time out.

All in all, Chelsea has been too inconsistent and lacks the current positive momentum of Man U. 

10* play on Man Utd -0.25. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER) - SAT SERIE A MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY

Sassuolo has been one of the hottest teams in Serie A in recent weeks. Last time out they played a 3-3 draw with league-leading Juventus and they had won four on the bounce prior to that. 

There should be no lack of motivation here as a continued hot streak could see them overtake AC Milan and Napoli for the last Europa League spot. 

Cagliari on the other hand is stuck in the middle of the table with little more than pride to play for at this stage of the season. The lack of motivation has been obvious lately as they're winless through their last five games (3D, 2L). 

I like Sassuolo to come through with a win here. 

10* play on Sassuolo -0.25. 

SATURDAY AFTERNOON EPL BOOKIE BA$HER

Norwich's fate has been sealed; with two games remaining of the season, the team already knows it will be relegated and play Championship soccer next season. They have lost every single game since the restart, and here they'll face a Burnley side that is undefeated since taking a 5-0 beating by Man City in their first game back. While Burnley can't really move the standings, they've played pretty well and I think they'll be looking forward to taking advantage of a lesser opponent. 

8* play on Burnley -0.25. 

SATURDAY MORNING SERIE A BANKROLL BUILDER

Atalanta has been near unstoppable since the restart, winning seven of eight games, the exception a 2-2 draw with league-leaders Juventus. A win here would see them overtake Inter for second place and put them only four points behind Juve at the top of the league. 

As for Verona, they are stuck in no-mans-land in the middle of the table. I expect the more motivated visiting side to put up a big score here. 

8* play on Atalanta -1.25. 

FRIDAY AFTERNOON EPL TOTAL TOP PLAY

West Ham and Watford are tied at 34 points just above the relegation zone. A draw here would put them five points ahead of Bournemouth (18) and Aston Villa (19) with only two games to go.  

I don't see either team coming out too adventurous here as a draw would suit both sides quite well. 

We can also note that Watford has scored only 11 goals in 17 EPL away games on the season.

10* play on UNDER 2.5. 

INTER @ SPAL SERIE A NO BRAINER

Spal sits dead last in the league and will need to make up 11 points in six games to play Serie A soccer next season as well. 

I don't see Spal standing a chance here against a highly motivated Inter team that would move into second place with a win. 

Inter has a lot of offensive talent as displayed in its 3-1 win over Torino last time out, a game in which it had a whopping 20 goal attempts.  

8* play on Inter. 

MAN UTD @ CRYSTAL PALACE PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER

Each of Manchester United's last six games have seen three goals or more, with them scoring the majority of the goals. Here they'll take on a Crystal Palace team that has surrendered 13 goals and scored four through a five game slide. Man U are trying to chase down Leicester for the last Champions League spot, so I have no doubt that they'll bring the big guns. As for Crystal Palace, while they have nothing to gain from a win teams in England usually try and show up when facing Man U, and with nothing to lose I think they'll let loose and invite to an open and high-scoring affair.  

8* play on OVER 2.75. 

THURSDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY

I expect to see an all out offensive onslaught from Real Madrid who can secure the league title with a win here. They are currently on a nine-game winning streak with six clean sheets while Villareal has lost two of its last three to fall out of contention for a Champions League spot. 

Additionally, we can note that Real Madrid has been extremely dominant at home in La Liga play, going an undefeated 14-4-0 with a 38-10 goal differential. 

10* play on Real Madrid -1.25. 

LAZIO @ UDINESE SERIE A BOOKIE BA$HER

Lazio is coming off three straight losses. They're tied with Inter for third place, and while fourth place also earn a spot in the Champions League next season I stlll expect them to want to finish as high in the standings as possible.

As for Udinese, they were undefeated in three games before taking a 3-1 loss to Sampdoria last time out. Recent results have seen them distancing themselves from the relegation zone by six points and I'm not sure if the desperation to perform is there at the moment. 

8* play on Lazio. 

LIVERPOOL @ ARSENAL BOOKIE BLA$TER

Liverpool has already wrapped up the title but would need to win out to break the points record (or take seven points from the nine available to equal it. They had won back-to-back games prior to a 1-1 draw with Burnley last time out, a game they utterly dominated with a 71%/29% possession advantage. Also, I think Liverpool will make it a point to show up against another top team after taking a 4-0 loss to Manchester City just under two weeks ago. 

As for Arsenal, a 2-1 derby loss to Tottenham last time out saw the team fall to 9th place, five points out 6th place which earns a Europa League spot. With only three games to go, they might as well pack it in in league play already. We can also note that Arsenal has a FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City to come at the weekend which should be a higher priority. 

8* play on Liverpool. 

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY

Huge motivational advantage for Napoli who are fighting to hold on to 6th place which would earn them a Europa League qualification spot next season while Bologna is stuck in the middle of the table. There's also a revenge angle in play for Napoli after taking a 2-1 loss at Bologna earlier in the season and the team has been solid on the road all season. As for Bologna, they are winless with two losses and a draw in three home games since the restart. 

10* play on Napoli. 

TOTTENHAM @ NEWCASTLE BANKROLL BUILDER

Write up posted shortly.

8* play on Tottenham. 

MLS IS BACK BANKROLL BUILDER - NY CITY VS. ORLANDO CITY

I expect to see a rather dull and uneventful game when New York City takes on Orlando City in the MLS Is Back tournament Tuesday night. 

This will be the second game of the competition for both teams. New York took a 1-0 loss to Philadelphia in its tournament opener and each of its last five games have seen just one goal scored.

Orlando is coming off a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Inter Miami, but I think it'll struggle to break down this solid NY defense. 

8* play on UNDER. 

MLS IS BACK TUESDAY MORNING TOP PLAY - SEATTLE VS. CHICAGO

Both the Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders opened the MLS Is Back tournament with low-scoring draws, but we should see more fireworks when the two teams clash for their second game of the competition.

While Chicago is coming off a 1-1 draw with New England, note that the teams had 15 goal attempts each, and Seattle's 0-0 draw with San Jose could also easily have ended very differently with a total of 28 goal attempts split between the two teams. I think the offenses will be a lot sharper in the second game following the long layoff. 

Additionally, note that four of the last five head-to-head matchups have seen four goals or more. 

10* play on OVER. 

MONDAY AFTERNOON EPL PUNISHER - SOUTHAMPTON @ MAN U

Man U has steamrolled over just about all opponents it has faced since the EPL restart, winning four straight league games by at least three goals. They are now only one point behind Leicester for a Champions League spot, and I like Man U to keep up the pace and destroy a Southampton team that has nothing to play for over its last four games. 

8* play on Man United -1.5. 

MAJOR WAGER ALERT - LA LIGA BOOKIE BREAKER - 1:30 PM ET

This contest features two teams with still a lot to play for as Villreal is fighting to hold on to a Europa League spot while Real Sociedad is one of the teams trying to steal one.

I do like Villareal to come through with a win though. They have won three of their last four with the lone loss coming against Barcelona.

Real Sociedad on the other hand has lost five of eight games, including a demoralizing 3-2 setback to Granada last time out. 

Real Sociedad averages just over one goal scored per game on the road while Villareal scores close to two goals per game at home. 

10* play on Villareal -0.25.

TOP PLAY ALERT - MINNESOTA @ KANSAS CITY MLS MAJOR WAGER

This is the opening game of the MLS is Back tournament at Disney World in Orlando, Florida for both sides. 

Both teams opened the season strong before play was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic with Kansas City outscoring Vancouver and Houston by a combined 7-1 over two victories while Minnesota United took care of business against Portland and San Jose by a combined goal differential of 8-3. I like Kansas City to be the team to continue its winning ways. 

Minnesota will have to do without 2019 MLS Defender of the Year Ike Opara who did not make the trip to Florida as he continues to rehab a preexisting injury. That leaves the Loons a tad thin at center back, and we can also note that defensive midfielder Ozzie Alonso is questionable with a tight hamstring. 

Sporting KC's offense led by two quality strikers in Alan Pulido and Gadi Kinda has the firepower to hurt just about any team in the league. 

10* play on Kansas City PK. 

SUNDAY MORNING SERIE A NO BRAINER

Both teams are facing the threat of relegation, but only Genoa has a realistic shot IMO. 

Spal sits dead last (20th) in the standings with eight points up to 18th-placed Genoa who in turn is one point behind Lecce, the closest team outside the relegation zone. 

With only seven games to go, the Spal players must realize they have an almost impossible mountain to climb and the team has not looked particularly motivated lately, coming off back-to-back 3-0 losses. 

Genoa on the other hand put up a decent fight in a 2-1 loss to Napoli last time out, and they have picked up four of their six wins on the season here at home while Spal has lost 12 of 16 away games. 

8* play on Genoa. 

EARLY SUNDAY MORNING PREMIER LEAGUE MONEYMAKER - 09:15 AM KICK OFF

Crystal Palace is safe from relegation and has nothing to play for at this stage of the season. That fact has reflected itself in recent performances resulting in 11 goals conceded through four consecutive losses. Here Palace comes up against an Aston Villa team that desperately needs a win to have any chance of climbing out of the relegation zone.

Aston Villa has only seven wins of the season, but five of those came at home and I expect the home team to come through in this one.

8* play on Aston Villa. 

SATURDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BANKROLL BUILDER

Betis defeated Osasuna last time out to move into 13th place, nine points clear of the relegation zone. With only three games to go, that's more or less mission completed as it is more or less impossible for them to get relegated at this point and I would not be surprised to see them come out flat in this game.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand still has a lot to play for as they are tied for points with Sevilla for third place. They are unbeaten in 13 straight La Liga games and 11-5-1 with a 26-10 goal differential at home on the season.

8* play on Atletico Madrid -1. 

SUPER EARLY PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - 7:30 AM KICK OFF

Norwich is all but doomed for relegation already with 10 points up to 17th place and only four games to go. They have dropped all five games since the restart and I don't see them showing up for this one either. As for West Ham, they stood up well in a 1-0 loss to Burnley last time out and they're in desperate need of points just three points clear of the relegation zone.

West Ham won the reverse fixture 2-0 at home, and I think they'll complete the season sweep here on the road.  

8* play on West Ham. 

GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER) - PREMIER LEAGUE MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY

Newcastle took a 5-0 beating by Manchester City last time out, and as they sit 15 points clear of the relegation zone the motivation for a bounce back game here against Watford might not be there. As for Watford, they are fighting tooth and nail for the right to play Premier League soccer next season as well. They enter the weekend only three points out of the relegation zone, and with some momentum after defeating Norwich 2-1 last time out. 

Newcastle has lost 10 of its 17 away games on the season while posting a dreadful 17-35 goal differential. I'm well happy to take the motivated home team at this price. 

10* play on Watford. 

FRIDAY NIGHT MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER BANKROLL BUILDER

I like the reigning MLS Cup champions Seattle Sounders to open their entry in the "MLS is Back Tournament" with a win. They're undefeated in the last nine head-to-head league matchups with the San Jose Earthquakes and won the last meeting 1-0.

The teams played two games each back in March before the season got suspended. Seattle opened the campaign with a 2-1 win over Chicago and followed up with a 1-1 draw with Columbus. San Jose meanwhile is still without a win in 2020 after first playing a 2-2 draw with Toronto before taking a 5-2 beating by Minnesota.

Seattle is simply the better team and should win this one relatively comfortably.

8* play on Seattle Sounders. 

FRIDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER

Real Sociedad opened the restart with five winless games (D1, L4), but they have seemingly turned a corner to remain in the chase for a Europa League spot.

Granada sit four points back of Sociedad, and as there are also two additional teams between them they would need a lot of luck to qualify for European soccer for next season. They have a small squad compared to the other teams in the top half of the table and must be close to running out of gas considering the tight schedule. 

Real Sociedad has won nine of 17 La Liga home games while Granada has lost eight of 17 road games. 

8* play on Real Sociedad. 

THURSDAY PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - MAN U @ ASTON VILLA

Manchester United is undefeated through its last nine league games (W6, D3) and it has dominated its last two games, beating Brighton 3-0 and Bournemouth 5-2. They're currently holding down a Europa League spot, and a win here would put them just one point behind Leicester for a fourth place and Champions League soccer next season.

As for Aston Villla, while the team should have plenty of motivation as it seeks to climb out of the relegation zone, recent outings have not shown it. Aston Villa is winless since the EPL restart and I expect Man U to run away with this game. 

8* play on Manchester United -1.5. 

PORTUGUESE PRIMERA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER 

FC Porto sits six points clear of Benfica at the top of the table. They have won 23 of 30 league games and own a tremendous 62-18 goal differential. Here they'll face a Tondela team that sits at 15th place with 14 losses in 30 games. Their form is poor with three losses and a draw in their last four games while Porto is coming off a 5-0 rout of Belenenses. I don't see this game ending any other way than a blowout win for Porto. 

8* play on FC Porto -1.5.

SERIE A NO BRAINER

SPAL sits dead last in the standings and would need to make up eight points and leap past three teams to play Serie A soccer next season. Last time out they took a 3-0 loss to Sampdoria and with three losses and a draw in their last four games, it sure looks like the players have given up on the season already. As for visiting Udinese, the team has a good chance of playing Serie A soccer next season, sitting five points clear of the relegation zone. They still need a couple of more wins to be safe though, and this should be three easy points.  

8* play on Udinese. 

MAJOR WAGER - THURSDAY PREMIER LEAGUE BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY

Tottenham is coming off a 1-0 triumph over Everton, and another win here with see the team overtake three teams for the last Europa League spot. 

Here Spurs will pay a visit to a Bournemouth side that is has beaten by at least three goals in two of its last four visits. I expect to see another comfortable Tottenham win in this one. 

Bournemouth is in shambles as five straight Premier League defeats have seen the side plummet into the relegation zone. Last time out Bournemouth took a 5-2 beating by Man U, and the game before that it fell 4-1 to Newcastle. 

I think we are getting a great price on a motivated, in-form superior team.

10* play on Tottenham. 

SERIE A 3-PACK

Sassuolo has seen three goals or more in 24 of its 30 Serie A games on the season. Their five games since the restart have seen a total of 27 goals (5.4 goals per game average) and I expect to see goals come easy for both sides here against a Bologna side that also has been involved in relatively high-scoring affairs lately. The reverse fixture ended with a 3-1 Sassuolo win, and each of the last four head-to-head meetings has seen at least three goals. 

8* play on OVER 3. 

MAJOR WAGER - SERIE A BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY

This looks like a potential let down spot for Sampdoria who are coming off back-to-back wins to move into 14th place with five points down to the relegation zone. 

Here they'll face an Atalanta side that is arguably the hottest team in Europe, coming off 11 straight wins all competitions combined and it has scored almost at will in those games. 

Visiting Sampdoria has allowed 51 goals in 30 Serie A games on the season and I expect the home team to win this one comfortably. 

10* play on Atalanta -1.5. 

SERIE A NO BRAINER

Napoli has won three of four Serie A games since the restart, including a 2-1 victory over Roma last time out and is now tied on points for the last Europa League spot. They have also claimed the domestic cup, Coppa Italia, and I like them to roll over a Genoa team which is looking to avoid relegation, but is winless with two losses and draws since the restart. Genoa's defense has been in shambles with 11 goals allowed in four games, conceding at least two in each contest. 

8* play on Napoli. 

JUVENTUS @ MILAN TOP PLAY

Juventus have four straight Serie A games since the restart, outscoring opponents 13-2 in the process. However, on the contrary on what the scoreline says, They did not look all that great in their 4-1 win over Torino last time out. 

Here Juve will face an AC Milan team that is battling for the Europa League spots, and like Juventus it is also undefeated since the restart. On the season, Milan have lost only four of 14 Serie A home games. 

Juve sit seven points clear at the top of the table, and I think the home team will be the more motivated side in this one.

10* play on AC Milan +0.5. 

LEICESTER @ ARSENAL TOTAL

Arsenal has found its rhythm lately, outscoring opponents 10-1 through a four-game winning streak. The Gunners' chances of climbing the standings to a position that would earn them a ticket to one of the European competitions for next season are slim though, and without much pressure I think they'll 'invite to an open and high-scoring affair here as they host Leicester City. 

The visitors have a lot to play for as they seek to retain their third-place, and last time out they put a 3-0 beating on Crystal Palace. I don't think they'll settle for a draw so neither team should be shy to go on the attack. 

Leicester is 20-13 to the over on the season while Arsenal is 18-15 to the over. 

8* play on OVER. 

REAL VALLADOLID @ VALENCIA LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER

Valencia has won just one of seven games since the La Liga restart. Their chance of earning a spot in the European competitions is slipping away, and here they'll face a hot Real Valladolid side that has just lost just one of seven games since the restart. 

Valencia has struggled for goals, and Valladolid has not allowed more than one goal in any of their last seven games. I'm well happy to take Real Valladolid plus the draw at this price.  

8* play on Real Valladolid +0.5. 

EPL BOOKIE BLA$TER - CHELSEA @ CRYSTAL PALACE - TUESDAY 1 PM ET

Crystal Palace have been outscored 8-0 during a three-game slide. They sit at 14th-place in the table, 15 points above the relegation zone, so they are excused for packing it in at this point.

As for Chelsea, they're currently holding the last coveted Champions League spot, but with Man U just two points behind there's no room for complacency.

Last time out, Chelsea put a 3-0 beating on a Watford side who were motivated by the threat of relegation. Chelsea should beat an unmotivated Palace side by a similar final score. 

8* play on Chelsea -1. 

MONDAY AFTERNOON EIBAR @ SEVILLA LA LIGA TOP PLAY 

Sevilla are undefeated since the La Liga restart and last time out they came through with a dominant 3-0 rout of Leganes. With five points (and a game in hand) up to third-place Atletico Madrid, there is no time for complacency though and I expect another easy win for Sevilla here against an Eibar side that sits six points above the relegation zone. Eibar had gone undefeated through four games before coming up short in a 2-0 loss to Osasuna last time out. I think they're about to run out of gas and Sevilla have a quality squad capable of taking advantage of every minor defensive error.

10* play on Sevilla. 

EVERTON VS TOTTENHAM - MONDAY AFTERNOON PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER

This contest features two teams with little to play for as we find them separated by only one point in the very middle of the table.

Everton have not packed it in just yet though coming off back-to-back triumphs and we can note that Tottenham have won just one of their previous six Premier League games (against West Ham).

Everton are tough to beat and I expect them to keep this a close game. 

8* play on Everton. 

TURKEY SUPER LIG MONDAY AFTERNOON NO BRAINER

Kayserispor have won two of three since the restart, including a 2-0 upset win at third-place Sivasspor last time out. Still, there is a reason why they are second to last in the Turkey Super Lig standings, and I think there is a good chance they'll come out flat in this one. 

Fifth-placed Besiktas are chasing a Europa League spot and would overtake Istanbul rivals Galatasaray with a win. They have outscored opponents 8-1 through their last two games and are simply the much better team. 

8* play on Besiktas. 

BARCELONA @ VILLAREAL LATE AFTERNOON NO BRAINER - 4 PM KICK OFF

Villareal have been one of the hottest teams in the league since the restart, but if we look closely they have not really any strong teams. Here they'll come up against one of the best teams in the world, and a motivated one at theat with Barca trying to hunt down Real Madrid for the league title. It's not often you get Barcelona to win a league game outright at this kind of price. 

8* play on Barcelona. 

ROMA @ NAPOLI - LATE AFTERNOON SERIE A BOOKIE BLA$TER - 03:45 PM KO

I like Napoli to come through with a win when they host Roma in this Serie A primetime game on Sunday (9:45 PM kick off local time). 

Both teams have plenty to play for as they sit in fifth and sixth place respectively in the table, with only three points separating the teams. 

Roma are however in a bit of a funk following back-to-back shut out losses, and here they'll have to do without creative winger Diego Perotti who was sent off last time out, a tough break for a team already struggling to create chances. 

Napoli had recorded back-to-back Serie A wins since the restart before coming up short at Atalanta in their last game. Still, you must like the price we get on the home team in this one. 

8* play on Napoli. 

MAN CITY @ SOUTHAMPTON SUNDAY AFTERNOON BANKROLL BUILDER

Manchester City are coming off an impressive 5-0 rout of already crowned Premier League champions Liverpool. They have scored a total of 15 goals in five games since the restart and I expect to see plenty of goals when they visit Southampton on Sunday. 

The Saints are coming off an impressive win of their own after defeating Watford 3-1 on the road last time out. They are capable of putting up goals, but with 55 goals allowed 32 EPL games defense is clearly an issue. 

Neither team have to worry about their position in the table which should open up for a relaxed and high-scoring affair. 

8* play on OVER 3. 

MAJOR WAGER ALERT - SUNDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A TOTAL TOP PLAY

Brescia took a 6-0 beating by Inter last time out and they have allowed a total of nine goals in three games since the Serie A restart. They are 18-11 to the over (2.5 goals) on the season and as they are already all but doomed for relegation already, the motivation to play defense can't be high. Here they'll face a Verona side that has seen a combined total of 11 goals in their last two games and I expect a wide open high-scoring affair.  

10* play on OVER. 

LEGANES @ ESPANYOL LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER

This contest features the worst teams in La Liga with just a combined 10 wins in 66 games between them. I hold visiting Leganes as the better side though, and wecan note that they won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in December. Admittedly, plenty of time has passed since and this is at Espanyol's home turf, but note that Espanyol have won just two home games all season.

8* play on Leganes +0.25. 

PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - WEST HAM @ NEWCASTLE TOTAL - 09:15 AM KO

Newcastle are coming off a 4-1 win over Bournemouth while West Ham defeated Chelsea 3-2 last time out. In the first meeting of the season West Ham left the pitch as a 3-2 winner, and I expect this to be another high-scoring affair. 

The home team Newcastle can play without pressure as they now sit 15 points above the relegation zone while visiting West Ham are in dire need of points to avoid relegation. The Hammers' 56 goals allowed over 32 games is one of the worst marks in the league, so they probably know they have to score two or three goals to win this one. 

8* play on OVER 2.5 goals.

SATURDAY SERIE A BOOKIE BLA$TER - LAZIO VS MILAN TOTAL

This contest features two teams with plenty to play for, and I expect to see a tight low-scoring affair. Lazio are trying to chase down Juventus at the top of the table. Their defense is excellent with only 28 goals allowed in 29 Serie A games. For this contest, their offense might struggle with strikers Ciro Immobile and Felipe Caicedo suspended. 

As for AC Milan, they enter Saturday two points behind Napoli for the last Europa League spot. With a 36-37 goal differential over 29 Serie A games, it is fair to say that Milan are a low-scoring side and I think they'll struggle to break down this solid Lazion defense. 

8* play on UNDER 2.5 goals. 

ARSENAL @ WOLVES PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - 12:30 PM KICK OFF

Both teams are hot coming off three straight wins each. Sixth-placed Wolves are however six points ahead of eighth-placed Arsenal and they are tied for points with Manchester United for the Europa League spot. Wolves are unbeaten in eight Premier League outings overall and undefeated in their last five at home. Arsenal meanwhile have dropped two of their last five on the road and they have just three road victories in the league on 16 attempts on the season. 

8* play on Wolves -0.25.

SERIE A BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY - EARLY SATURDAY - 11:15 AM KICK OFF

League-leading Juventus to win by two goals or more looks like a really solid bet in this one IMO.

This is "Derby Della Mole", the local Turin derby played out between the city's most prominent football clubs, a derby that Juventus have owned in recent years. They won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in November, but completely owned the game and could easily have won by a larger margin.

Additionally, Juve have been on fire since the Serie A restart, recording three straight wins while outscoring their opponents by a total of 9-1. As for Torino, they've played four games since the restart, losing the last two by a total of 6-3.

10* play on Juventus -1.5. 

EARLY SATURDAY PREMIER LEAGUE NO BRAINER

Leicester have dropped two on the bounce, and with several teams creeping up behind them they are now in dire need of a win to defend their third-place in the table.

This looks like a good spot to turn it around as they host a Crystal Palace team that is coming off a pair of setbacks on its own, and motivation must be low at this point of the season.

Palace have no shot at reaching a European competition spot, nor do they have to fear relegation.

I'm happy to take what should be a fired up Leicester side at home in this one. 

8* play on Leicester. 

WEDNESDAY SOCCER 3-PACK

Udinese took a 3-2 home loss to Atalanta last time out. They're in desperate need of points hovering just three points above the relegation zone, and I think this will be wide-open affair against a Roma team looking to retain its Europa League spot. Last time out, Roma were shut out at Milan, but they have plenty of offensive talent and are too good to be shut out in back-to-back games. Roma are 18-10 to the over in all Serie A games on the season and 10-4 to the over at home.

8* play on OVER. 

THURSDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA NO BRAINER - 1:30 PM ET KICK OFF

Real Sociedad will be looking to snap out a slump when they host Espanyol on Thursday, and I really like their chances against the worst league in the team. 

Espanyol are already all but doomed for relegation while Sociedad have a chance of earning Europa League soccer if they can pick up the pace. Sociedad have won eight of 16 La Liga games, and surely they must have what it takes to beat the basement boys from Espanyol. 

8* play on Real Sociedad. 

WEDNESDAY SOCCER 3-PACK

Atalanta are coming into this contest riding a nine-game winning streak. They have scored three goals or more in six straight games and I fully expect a high-scoring affair here against a Napoli side that is hot as well, coming off a 3-1 win over Spal to make it nine straight games without a defeat. 

8* play on OVER. 

TOTTENHAM @ SHEFFIELD UNITED BOOKIE BLA$TER

Only one point separates the two two teams in the standings, and I strongly disagree that Tottenham should be this big of a favorite at Sheffield. Sure, Sheffield UTD are coming off three consecutive defeats while Tottenham ended a seven-game winless rut with a 2-0 win over West Ham last time out, but we can note that Sheffield have lost only five of 15 home games on the season while Spurs have won three of 15 on the road. 

8* play on Sheffield UTD. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER) - LA LIGA MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY

Villareal steamrolled Betis in a 5-1 triumph the first head-to-head matchup of the season. Betis have home field advantage in this one (whatever that means with no crowd in the stands), but I still like the visitors to come through and win this one as well. 

Betis fired coach Rubi on June 21 after a series of disappointing results, but they've not played much better since and took a 4-2 beating by Levante last time out.

Villarreal on the other hand are one of the hotter sides in the league, going undefeated with four wins since the restart.

Additionally, Betis are stuck in no-mans-land in the table while Villareal are currently holding down a Europa League spot, and they even have an outside chance of reaching the Champions League. 

10* play on Villareal PK. 

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON BOOKIE BA$HER - SERIE A TOTAL

Verona have seen a total of 11 goals scored in three games since the Serie A restart while Parma have seen a total of 10 goals in their last three games. The teams come into this contest tied for points near the middle of the table. I expect to see a high-scoring affair between two sides who shouldn't be scared to go on the attack as a loss would be of very little consequence. 

8* play on OVER. 

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

Atletico Madrid are coming off four straight wins, but beating up on teams from the bottom half of the table is nothing like facing a desperate Barcelona team that is competing for the La Liga title. 

Barca played a disappointing 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo last time out to fall two points behind league-leading Real Madrid in the standings. Now the Catalans most likely have to win out to have a realistic shot at the title. 

Third-place Atletico might have some motivation to defend their third-place, but it should be nothing compared to Barcelona's motivation. 

That being said, Atletico Madrid are not easy to score on so I do not expect to see a ton of goals in this one. 1-0 or 2-0 to Barca. 

8* play on UNDER.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A BANKROLL BUILDER - LAZIO @ TORINO

8* play on Lazio. 

MONDAY LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER - REAL SOCIEDAD @ GETAFE

Both Getafe and Real Sociedad are winless through their four games since the restart, but I like Getafe to come through with a win in this matchup.

While Getafe are coming off three straight draws, Real Sociedad have dropped three in a row while scoring just a single goal and losing to two teams in the bottom-half of the table.  

Additionally, we can note that Getafe have won five of their last six La Liga meetings with Real Sociedad. 

8* play on Getafe PK. 

LA LIGA NO BRAINER - SUNDAY SOCCER ACTION

Real Madrid enter Sunday at second place in the table, but they have a game in hand on league-leading Barcelona and would overtake them with a win in this one. Espanyol sit dead last in the standings and most likely too far behind to have any chance of playing La Liga soccer next season. 

Espanyol are a league-worst 2-5-8 in their 15 La Liga games at home while Real Madrid are a league-best 8-4-3 away from home. 

5* play on Real Madrid. 

SUNDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A ANNIHILATOR - ATALANTA @ UDINESE

Atlanta were red hot before the Covid-19 pandemic put Serie A play on hold. They' have picked up right where they left off since the restart, outscoring Lazio and Sassuolo by a combined 7-3 in back-to-back victories. They're the highest scoring team in the league with 77 goals in 27 games, and here they'll face an Udinese team that is among the lowest-scoring with 21 goals in 27 games. This is a complete mismatch, and I fully expect a blowout win for Atalanta. 

8* play on Atalanta -1.25. 

EARLY PREMIER LEAGUE BOOKIE BA$HER  - SOUTHAMPTON @ WATFORD

Southampton put up a lackluster performance in a 2-0 loss to Arsenal last time out. They have very little to play for at this point of the season, while the complete opposite is true for Watford who are just one point clear out of the relegation zone. Motivation will be a key factor in this one, and that's why I'm well happy to take Watford at this price (stake back if the game ends in a draw). 

8* play on Watford PK. 

PADERBORN @ FRANKFURT BUNDESLIGA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY

Eintracht Frankfurt are undefeated with two wins in their last three games as they head into this Bundesliga clash with Paderborn. The visitors are dead last in the standings and with only three games to go, without any hope of climbing out of the relegation zone. Frankfurt would need a small miracle to overtake two teams to earn a Europa League spot for next season, but I think they'll at least do their part of the job. 

10* play on Frankfurt -1.5. 

SUPER EARLY PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - WOLVES @ ASTON VILLA

Wolves have outscored opponents 3-0 through back-to-back victories since the Premier League restart. They enter the weekend in sixth place, tied on points with Manchester United for fifth but currently one goal behind on goal differential. Lack of motivation should be an issue, and then I fully expect the Wolves to run over an Aston Villa side that sits second to lst in the table and winless with three losses through its last four home games. 

8* play on Wolves. 

FRIDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER - VALLADOLID @ SEVILLA

Sevilla enter this contest in fourth place and would overtake Atletico Madrid for third with a win. They opened the restart of the season with a 2-0 triumph over Betis but have played three straight draws since. I think they'll be well up for this contest, looking to bag three points against a Valladolid team that has very little to play for, sitting relatively safe at eight points clear of the relegation zone. 

8* play on Sevilla. 

OFF 5-0 SWEEP - THURSDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER - ESPANYOL @ BETIS

Espanyol took a 3-1 loss to Levante last time out, but I expect a better defensive performance when they visit Betis on Thursday. 

Espanyol's last two away games have seen a total of just one goal and they have scored only 11 goals in 15 away games on the season. 

As for Betis, while they put up a solid defensive performance in a 1-0 loss at Bilbao last time out, they struggled to create chances at the offensive end of the pitch.  

Additionally, Betis are without doubt the better side, but they would most likely settle for a 0-0 draw and last place Espanyol lack offensive talent. 

8* play on UNDER. 

OFF 5-0 SWEEP - ARSENAL @ SOUTHAMPTON TOP PLAY - EARLY THURSDAY EPL ACTION

Arsenal did not just just take a 3-0 beating on the scoreboard by Man City a week ago, they also lost several players to injury.

The Gunners' next game was not much better as they fell 2-1 at Brighton on Saturday, and I think they're in trouble here against a Southampton side that must feel pretty confident coming off a 3-0 win at Norwich.

Arsenal have won just two of their 15 EPL away games on the season, and I like the price we get on the home team against a banged-up Arsenal squad. 

10* play on Southampton PK. 

GAME OF THE MONTH (SOCCER) - TOP RATED SERIE A TOTAL - WEDNESDAY 3:45 PM

Atalanta is the highest scoring side in Serie A with an average of 4.2 goals per game. Their lone game since the restart saw five goals scored (4-1 win over Sassuolo), and here they'll face a Lazio side that is also more than capable of both scoring and conceding. While this will be Lazio's first Serie A game back since the restart, note that they defeated Ternana 7-2 in a Friendly on June 20. Serie A games involving Lazio have seen an average of 3.2 goals per game. 

The last head-to-head meeting finished 3-3, and I expect to see plenty of fireworks from both sides again in this one. 

10* play on OVER 3 goals. 

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON PREMIER LEAGUE TOP PLAY - CRYSTAL PALACE @ LIVERPOOL

Liverpool are coming off a rather sluggish 0-0 draw in the Merseyside derby with Everton. I expect to see more fireworks from the Reds in here as they would secure the league title with a win. 

Visting Crystal Palace are safe from relegation after defeating Bournemouth last time out, and I would not be surprised to see the visitors come out flat in this one. 

10* play on Liverpool -1.5. 

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON PREMIER LEAGUE NO BRAINER

Two teams at opposite ends of the table with Wolves tied on points with Man United for sixth place and a Europa League spot and Bournemouth in the relegation zone in 18th place. Wolves are unbeaten in six Premier League games (W3, D3) and here they'll face a Bournemouth side that suffered its fourth defeat from their last five games last time out and has lost 11 of 15 EPL away games on the season. 

8* play on Wolves. 

EVERTON @ NORWICH EPL ANNIHILATOR

Everton are coming off a solid 0-0 draw against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. I think they'll be fired up for this game against bottom-dwelling Norwich who might be desperate for points, but simply do not have the quality to compete with the likes of Everton. 

8* play on Everton. 

PREMIER LEAGUE BOOKIE BLA$TER  - SHEFFIELD U @ MAN U

Manchester United are undefeated in six Premier League games (W3, D3) following their 1-1 draw with Tottenham over the weekend. They're currently holding down the Europa League spot in sixth, but the goal must be to catch Chelsea and earn a Champions League ticket. 

Visiting Sheffield United would overtake Man U with a win as they enter this contest just two points back, but the home team has been excellent in the second half of the season while Sheffield U have locked flat since the restart. We can also note that they've scored just a single goal from their last three league matches overall while Man U have outscored opponents 10-0 through three straight home wins. 

8* play on Manchester United -1.25.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON SERIE A BOOKIE BLA$TER - NAPOLI @ VERONA

Both Verona and Napoli will enter this contest with plenty of motivation as both sides are in the battle for the Europa League qualification spot and just one point separating the two teams in the table. The last six head-to-head meetings have ended with Napoli win and I think they'll get the job done for a seventh straight time here. Additionally, we can note that Napoli have won four straight Serie A road games. 

8* play on Napoli. 

TUESDAY AFTERNOON PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER - BRIGHTON @ LEICESTER

Brighton are coming off a come-from-behind 2-1 win over Arsenal, but I think they'll be brought back to earth here against a strong Leicester team looking to defend their third-place. 

8* play on Leicester. 

MONDAY NIGHT LA LIGA TOP PLAY - SEVILLA @ VILLAREAL

Sevilla are coming off a couple of disappointing draws which have seen Atletico Madrid overtake them for third place in the La Liga standings. Here they'll face a Villareal team that has recorded three straight 1-0 triumphs since the restart, but I still like Sevilla to come through with a win in this one. The teams Villareal have beaten have not been nearly the quality of Sevilla who boast the second-best road record in the league while Villareal's home record ranks in the bottom half. 

10* play on Sevilla. 

MONDAY AFTERNOON SOCCER - SWEDISH ALLSVENSKAN - ELFSBORG @ HELSINGBORG

Helsingborg are off to a terrible start with an 0-7 goal differential through their first two games (both losses). Here they'll face an Elfsborg side that won at Gothenburg in their season opener and played a 2-2 draw with Hammarby last time out. 

Helsingborg are banged up and I don't think their home-field advantage will be enough to make up for what they lack in squad quality and depth. 

8* play on Elfsborg. 

OSTERSUND @ OREBRO - SWEDISH ALLSVENSKAN ANNIHILATOR - 11:30 AM KICK OFF SUNDAY

Tough spot for Ostersund who have opened the season with back-to-back 2-0 losses. They have also been traveling up and down the country and will be playing on just two days rest since Thursday's setback to Sirius. Orebro on the other than hand have had an extra day of rest since a 2-1 win at Djurgarden on Wednesday. I think we're getting a great price on the home team in this one. 

8* play on Orebro. 

SATURDAY AFTERNOON PREMIER LEAGUE - WOLVES @ WEST HAM - 12:30 PM KO

This is an important game for both sides as visiting Wolverhampton are gunning for a Europa League/Champions League spot while West Ham are sucked into the relegation battle. Visiting Wolves have had a great season, and they have a have a full squad to pick from ahead of Saturday's game. Wolves have won three straight H2H meetings with West Ham, and I think the have too much quality for the home team to keep up with. Additionally, we can note that West Ham have the third-worst home record in the Premier League while Wolves road record is the fifth-best. 

8* play on Wolves. 

BUNDESLIGA BOOKIE BA$HER - DORTMUND @ LEIPZIG

Dortmund took a 1-0 home loss to Bayern Munich on May 26th, a loss that most likely saw the chance of winning the league slip away. 

They've not been near the top of their game ever since and a setback to Mainz last week have seen them fall 10 points behind Bayern in the standings. 

While we find Dortmund in second place, three points ahead of third-place Leipzig, I still hold Leipzig as the better, hotter and more motivated team in this one. They are undefeated in their last 14 games all competitions included and they earned a 3-3 draw at Dortmund back in December.

8* play on RB Leipzig. 

BARCELONA @ SEVILLA - FRIDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BOOKIE BLA$TER 

Sevilla might be the third best team in La Liga according to the table, but they're still far behind the quality of league-leading Catalan giants Barcelona. I think we are getting a more than reasonable price on the visitors in this one. 

Barca have won both games since the restart of the season (4-0, 2-0) while Sevilla are coming off a disappointing 1-1 draw at Levante. 

While Sevilla are hard to beat when playing their best, they're just too inconsistent. We can also note that their home record is far from impressive (8th in the league. 

The reigning champions Barcelona on the other hand have the third best road record in La Liga and they've won three straight H2H meetings with Sevilla, including a 4-2 triumph here at Sevilla back in February.

8* play on Barcelona. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER) - MAN UTD @ TOTTENHAM *TOP PLAY*

This should be an intense affair between fifth-place Manchester United and eight-place Tottenham Hotspur. 

Man U really caught their stride prior to the break going undefeated with eight wins through their last 11 games in all competitions. While some of the momentum might be gone, I still think we're getting a great price on the Red Devils in this one. 

Tottenham have dropped five of their last six games, and while the last game took place almost three months ago, it can't be a confident Tottenham side taking the field. Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho will try to get his team fired up for this one, but I don't see it being enough against a United team that is really coming together nicely under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.  

10* play on Man UTD pk. 

REAL SOCIEDAD VS. ALAVES BOOKIE BLA$TER - THURSDAY LA LIGA SOCCER

Real Sociedad reopened the season with a 0-0 draw against Osasuna. Still, they've won eight of their last 10 games and I think they'll get the job done here on the road at Alaves. 

Sociedad enter the contest in fifth place in La Liga and would overtake Atletico Madrid for fourth with a win. Alaves on the other hand sit at 15th place, seven points clear of the relegation zone. While they are not completely in the clear yet, this is not a "must win" game for Alaves. 

The home team has kept just one clean sheet from its last 14 top-flight fixtures, and that won't cut it against a Sociedad side that is averaging 1.65 goals scored per game. Additionally, note that Sociedad won the last head-to-head meeting 3-0. 

8* play on Real Sociedad. 

THURSDAY AFTERNOON BANKROLL BUILDER - SWEDISH ALLSVENSKAN ANNIHILATOR

Helsingborg took a 3-0 beating by newly promoted Varberg in their season opener, and at home at that. They missed several key players, among them veteran captain Andreas Granqvist, and many players are uncertain for this contest as well. 

I don't see Helsingborg keeping up with a Kalmar team that always plays it best home at Fredriksskans. While Kalmar also lost their season premiere, they did so to a strong Norrkopings team on the road (2-1), and with some luck they could have earned a draw. 

8* play on Kalmar. 

MAN CITY @ ARSENAL BOOKIE BLA$TER

We find Manchester City in second place of the table. While their chances of catching up with the superb league-leaders Liverpool are slim to none, I still like them to put a beating on visiting Arsenal in this one. The Gunners sit at ninth place and have an outside chance of earning a Champions League spot, but their squad quality and depth is inferior to Man City, particularly defensively. 

City have won six straight competitive H2Hs against the Gunners, covering a -1.5 handicap each time, and I fully expect them to make that seven in a row. 

8* play on Manchester City -1.5. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER) - TOP RATED BUNDESLIGA TOTAL

Hoffenheim were shut out in a 2-0 loss to RB Leipzig last time out. Before that outing, they had scored six goals in three games since the restart and I think they'll come to play and make Augsburg pay the price in this one. 

Augsburg are fighting to avoid getting involved in the relation battle while Hoffenheim are looking to climb into a Europa League spot. With both teams aiming for the three points, I expect to see a wide open affair with plenty of goals. 

Hoffenheim have seen average of three goals per game on the season while games involving Augsburg have seen 3.2 gpg on average. We can also note that Augsburg have found the net in all but two of their 15 league home fixtures to date. 

10* play on OVER. 

SHEFFIELD UNITED VS. ASTON VILLA PREMIER LEAGUE PUNISHER

Aston Villa have lost five straight contests, conceding two goals or more in each of those games. They're 20-8 to the over (2.5 goals) on the season and I think we'll see plenty of fireworks when they host Sheffield United in the Premier League restart on Wednesday. Sheffield United are unbeaten in four games (W3, D1), and while they're generally a low-scoring team I expect them to be able to take advantage of a leaky Villa defense. 

8* play on OVER 2.25 goals.

*half stake back if exactly two goals in the game. 

SCHALKE 04 @ EINTRACTH FRANKFURT MONEYMAKER

Eintracht Frankfurt have split their four games since the restart of the Bundesliga season. Last time out they put a 4-1 beating on Hertha Berlin, and I think they'll record another win here against a Shalke 04 team that is 0-2-2 since the restart and winless in 13 Bundesliga matches (D6, L7). A win would see Frankfurt overtake Shalke in the standings, and I'm happy to take the hotter team at home in this one, particularly as Schalke have failed to find the net completely in five of their last seven road trips. 

8* play on Eintracht Frankfurt. 

LEGANES @ BARCELONA TUESDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA *TOP PLAY*

Barcelona restarted the season with a 4-0 blowout win over Mallorca while Leganes took a 2-1 home loss against Valladolid last time out. Six of Barelona's last 10 home league victories have seen them overcome the -2 handicap and here they'll face a Leganes team that is second to last in the league. Barca never slow down at home, and I fully expect them to run up the score against this inferior Leganes side. 

10* play on Barcelona. 

*Money back if Barcelona win by exactly 2 goals. 

LA LIGA BANKROLL BUILDER - MALLORCA @ VILLAREAL

Mallorca took a 4-0 beating by Barcelona last time out while Villareal are coming off a solid 1-0 road win at Celta Vigo. There's plenty at stake for both sides as Valladolid have a chance at Europa League play while Mallorca are trying to secure a new contract, but note that the visitors are just 1-2-10 with a 12-30 goal differential on the road this season. I don't see any reason why this won't end in a blowout win for the home team Valladolid. 

8* play on Villareal -1 

*money back if Villareal win by 1 goal. 

MONDAY AFTERNOON SOCCER - ALLSVENSKAN MONEYMAKER

I expect Helsingborg to open the season with a win as they host newly promoted Varberg in their season opener. 

This is Varberg's first season ever in the Swedish top flight, and they've lost a couple of key pieces since earning the promotion. 

This will most likely be a very difficult season as their economical resources are tiny compared to most other teams in the league, and I don't think they have enough quality in the team to keep playing the entertaining, offensive style of soccer that earned them wins against lesser teams last season. 

The game will be played with no spectators, but nevertheless, Helsingborg are always hard to beat home at Olympia. I really like the price we get on the home team in this contest. 

8* play on Helsingborg. 

BUNDESLIGA BOOKIE BA$HER  - 12 PM SUNDAY

Schalke 04 have picked up just one point in five games since the Bundesliga restart. I think they'll another loss here against a Leverkusen team that is just as strong on the road as it is at home. We can also note that Leverkusen’s best player Kai Havertz should be back in action after missing the last two games due to injury.

8* play on Leverkusen. 

LA LIGA BANKROLL BUILDER - BARCELONA @ MALLORCA

Barcelona are currently two points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the table. I don't think they'll have any trouble to dismiss Mallorca in this one. We find the home team on 18th positioj (in the relegation zone), and while they still have plenty to play for, with this contest being played in an empty stadium their usually strong home advantage is pretty much gone. Barcelona are better on every single position, and I expect it to show on the scoreboard.

8* play on Barcelona -1.5

GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER) - TOP RATED BUNDESLIGA BOOKIE BREAKER - SATURRDAY 12:30 PM

Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller will be unavailable for Bayern Munich, but they have a deep squad and I still think they'll get the job done against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The Bavarians could claim the title if they record a victory and Borussia Dortmund fail beat Fortuna Dusseldorf. They'll be playing on double revenge after losing 2-1 in the reverse fixture earlier this season and taking a 3-0 beating at home last season. 

Bayern have been red hot since the break and they've won 13 straight games in all competitions, more often then not by two goals or more. Mönchengladbach on the other hand have won just one of their last four while losing two, including a 1-0 setback to Freiburg last time out. 

10* play on Bayern Munich -1.25

*half stake back if Bayern Munich win by 1 goal.

LA LIGA BOOKIE BA$HER - SOCCER - FRIDAY 2:00 PM ET

Valencia defated Levante 4-2 in the first meeting of the season, and I expect them to get the better of their derby rival here in the restart of the Spanish top flight. Valencia still have plenty to play for as they seek to hold on to a Europa League spot while Leventa is in the bottom half of the table, but still in no direct risk of relegation. Additionally, they've lost 11 of their 14 away games while Valencia are undefeated home at Mestalla. 

8* play on Valencia. 

COPPA ITALIA MONEYMAKER - MILAN @ JUVENTUS

This is the second leg of a Coppa Italia semi-finals bout between Juventus and AC Milan. The first game finished 1-1, but I expect Juve to get the better of their opponent in this one.

Milan will have to do without several key players, among them veteran star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Juventus have a deadly front trio of Costa, Dybala and Ronaldo, and I just don't see Milan being able to cope with them over 90 minutes. 

8* play on Juventus. 

THURSDAY LA LIGA BOOKIE BREAKER - BETIS @ SEVILLA *TOP PLAY* 

Sevilla and Betis will restart the Spanish La Liga season at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in Sevilla on Thursday.

Sevilla won the first meeting of the season 2-1 on the road, and I fully expect them to complete the season sweep here at home. 

Sevilla enters the contest third in the league, and while catching the top 2 teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona) will be tough, with five teams right on their heels they still need to rack up wins to not drop down the standings.

Betis on the other hand are stuck in the middle of the table, with no shot at Europa spots but also not in risk of relegation. 

10* play on Sevilla. 

SUPER EARLY 7 AM ET - GAME OF THE WEEK (SOCCER) - TOP RATED BUNDESLIGA SIDE

Wolfsburg have split their four game since the restart of the German Bundesliga. Last time out they took a 2-1 loss to Frankfurt, but I expect them to bounce back here against a Werder Bremen side that has the worst home record in the league (1-3-10). Wolfsburg on the other hand own the sixth best road record and won't lack motivation as they would move past Hoffenheim for a Europa League spot. 

10* play on Wolfsburg.
