Top soccer picks

Total: Werder vs. Bochum Over 3.5 (+182 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Werder are known for their strong scoring ability, especially when playing against Bochum, where they consistently surpass expectations. Bettors are well aware of their tendency to dominate in front of goal.

In 14 of their last 17 matches against Bochum in all competitions, Werder have scored two or more goals. Additionally, in their last six home encounters with Bochum, there have been over 2.5 goals scored, with Werder winning seven of their last eight direct clashes at home.

Furthermore, considering Bochum’s track record of conceding at least two goals in their last five Bundesliga matches, it is safe to say that this upcoming game will be action-packed.

Spread: Barcelona -1 vs. Almeria (+110 vs BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Barcelona currently sits 16 places and 37 points ahead of Almeria in the La Liga table after 22 matches. Following their disappointing exit from the Europa League at the hands of Manchester United, Barcelona will be eager to bounce back and boost their confidence with a convincing victory over Almeria.

In the past decade, history has consistently favored them, as evidenced by significant victories against Almeria in 2013 (3-1), 2014 (4-1), and 2015 (4-0). Almeria has suffered losses in their last three La Liga matches, including a 6-2 defeat by Girona last week.

Moneyline: Sevilla ML vs. Osasuna (-111 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐

Sevilla is currently in 12th place after playing 22 matches, falling short of the high expectations set for this team.

Osasuna currently sit in 10th place, with a five-point difference between them and Sevilla. Sevilla will aim to redeem themselves in the eyes of their disappointed fans by pushing forward for goals and taking advantage of Osasuna’s inconsistent form.

Parlay: Hoffenheim vs. Dortmund: Reus anytime goalscorer + Over 2.5 goals + Over 7.5 corners (+325 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐

Dortmund, who are in good form, will face a team that has suffered losses in its last five official matches.

Hoffe is a far cry from where they were just a few seasons ago. They have allowed 16 goals in the five matches they have lost since January 24th, and they could be in for another high-scoring match this weekend.

Dortmund has maintained a perfect record in 2023, keeping Bayern in their sights at the top of the Bundesliga standings. With this momentum, they cannot afford to lose a match they should easily win.

With two goals in Dortmund’s last four matches, Marco Reus is a strong contender to increase his season total due to his impactful and aggressive presence in BVB’s gameplay.
