Top soccer picks

Total: Eintracht Frankfurt-Hertha Berlin Over 3.5 (+144) ⭐⭐⭐

Frankfurt is currently in sixth place in the Bundesliga table, competing for a spot in the Champions League. On the other hand, Hertha is second from the bottom in 17th place, having lost all three matches since the German league resumed after the winter break. During these three defeats, Hertha conceded 10 goals and only managed to score once, creating a different atmosphere within the team.

In five of Eintracht’s last six home games against Hertha in all competitions, over 2.5 goals have been scored. They will aim to continue this trend when Hertha visits. Statistics suggest there will be goals in this match, with Hertha likely to concede. They have let in at least two goals in five of their last six Bundesliga matches.

Spread: Napoli -1 vs. Spezia (+100) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Napoli holds a 13-point lead over Inter in Serie A and aims to maintain or increase their advantage in the standings following their match against Spezia. Despite being in a tough relegation battle, a draw against Napoli would be a significant achievement for the home team. However, Spezia’s recent form, with three consecutive losses to Atalanta, AS Roma, and Bologna, does not bode well for their chances against the in-form Napoli.

It may be worth considering Napoli -2 at +240 with BetMGM. For more adventurous bettors, Napoli -3 is available at an impressive +575.

Upset: AC Milan win vs. Inter (+180) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

AC Milan’s recent losses have seen them slip to fifth place in Serie A, but all hope is not lost. Despite their current mood, a victory in the upcoming derby against Inter could turn things around for the defending champions. A win in the highly-anticipated match would not only lift the spirits of fans but also provide much-needed motivation for the team to push for a higher position in the league standings.

Inter’s lack of extraordinary form may serve as motivation for Milan. After a 1-0 loss to Empoli and a narrow 2-1 win over bottom Serie A side Cremonese, Inter manager Simone Inzaghi has several issues to address.

Elche vs. Villarreal Parlay: Villarreal to win, Over 1.5, and Gerard Moreno anytime goalscorer (+210) ⭐⭐⭐

Villarreal suffered a 1-0 defeat at home against Rayo in their last match, jeopardizing their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. It is crucial for them to secure a victory when they visit the struggling La Liga team Elche, who have yet to win a game after 19 matches and have only accumulated six points. Elche currently sits 14 points below the safety line, leading to a demoralized team.

Villarreal is expected to secure a comfortable victory in this match. Their key forward, Gerard Moreno, is eager to boost his season goal count, having only scored four times so far.
