03-04-24 | Arsenal -2 v. Sheffield United | 6-0 | Win | 100 | 13 h 17 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Arsenal. The Gunners are currently five points out of first place in the Premier League, and they need maximum points from this match at Sheffield to keep their title hopes alive. Arsenal owns a +17 goal differential in away matches, the best in the Premier League. Sheffield United owns a -24 goal differential in home matches. Their last two home matches were 5-0 losses to Brighton and Aston Villa. Arsenal won their last two away matches 5-0 at Burnley and 6-0 at West Ham. Relegation is inevitable for Sheffield. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-10-24 | Brentford v. Wolverhampton Wanderers -0.25 | 2-0 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Wolves. Wolves have long been a tough team to face on their home pitch, and that hasn't changed this season. Wolverhampton has earned points in 8-of-11 home matches, and they come into Saturday's game against Brentford on top form. Wolves are 3-1-1 in their last five matches, including a win over Brentford in the FA Cup. Brentford has just one win in their last five matches, and they are winless in their last five matches versus Wolverhampton. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-04-24 | Liverpool +0.25 v. Arsenal | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Liverpool. Liverpool sits top of the table in the Premier League five points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal. They will be an underdog at Arsenal on Sunday, and Liverpool has lost just once in 11 away matches this season. They have a Premier League best +11 goal differential in those games. Arsenal has only one win in their last five matches versus Liverpool, and that is despite the fact that three of those were home matches for Arsenal. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-01-24 | AFC Bournemouth v. West Ham United | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 15 h 16 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on WHU. West Ham sits 6th in the Premier League table, 10 points clear of Bournemouth. The Hammers have posted three consecutive clean sheets in their last three home matches. Bournemouth conceded seven goals in their last two Premier League matches, losing to Spurs and Liverpool. The Hammers are 3-1-1 in their last five matches versus Bournemouth, and they posted clean sheets in all threw wins during that span. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-26-23 | Manchester United v. Everton | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MUTD. A quick glance at the numbers, and Everton and Manchester united look quite similar. Both teams have a -3 goal differential, and Manchester United has scored one fewer goal, and conceded just one fewer goal. After a points deduction Everton almost certainly faces relegation, and it might be difficult for the club to hold things together in the second half of the season. They also have one of the worst home records in the Premier League, with just one win in six home matches. Manchester United sits five points back of fourth place Tottenham, and a Champions League spot is not out of reach for Ten Hag despite the team's struggles. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-25-23 | Chelsea v. Newcastle United | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Newcastle. Chelsea comes into this match with an overall record of 4-4-4, and they are coming off a 4-4 home draw versus Mancester City. They were fortunate to salvage a point in that match, after being awarded a penalty in injury time leading to the equalizer. Newcastle has won five of six home matches with a +11 goal differential. Chelsea is sitting in 10th in the table, yet the odds for this match are in direct contradiction to the numbers. Newcastle has scored six more goals, and conceded three fewer goals than Chelsea in a dozen matches. The home team is undefeated in the last four head to head meetings. While the draw looks likely, Newcastle appears to be the far more likely side to take maximum points. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-12-23 | Sheffield United v. Brighton & Hove Albion -1.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -120 | 90 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Brighton. Sheffield United will play away at Brighton this Sunday, and Sheffield owns the worst away record in the Premier League. They sit dead last overall in the Premier League standings with a record of 1-11 and a goal differential of -21. While it's still early in the season, relegation appears inevitable for Sheffield United. This game has blowout written all over it. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-08-23 | Manchester United v. FC Copenhagen +0.5 | 3-4 | Win | 112 | 13 h 4 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Copenhagen. Manchester United has been a huge disappointment this season, and fans are starting to call for Erik Ten Hagg to be sacked. They beat Copenhagen 1-0 at Old Trafford in a very close match a few weeks ago, and they went ahead late in that game. Copenhagen missed a penalty that would have given them a draw. Expect this match to be an even bigger challenge for the struggling Red Devils, and salvaging a draw would be a pretty good result for Manchester. GL, Jesse Schule. | |||||||
11-07-23 | Columbus +0.5 v. Atlanta United | 2-4 | Loss | -142 | 16 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on the Columbus Crew. The Crew are the hottest team in MLS, and they beat Atlanta 2-0 at home in the first game of this playoff series. Heading to Atlanta, Columbus has earned points in three of their last four away matches. One of those matches was at Atlanta, and Columbus was leading that game until the 7th minute of extra time when Atlanta scored the equalizer. While Columbus finished 3rd in the Eastern Conference this season, but they finished first in all of MLS in goal differential. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-04-23 | Arsenal v. Newcastle United | 0-1 | Win | 105 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Newcastle. While Arsenal sits in 2nd place in the Premier League standings, Newcastle in on better form. Newcastle is tied for the Premier League lead in both goals scored and goal differential. The bookmakers have Arsenal as the favorite here, but I think the Gunners will be lucky if they can salvage a draw. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-24-23 | FC Copenhagen +1.5 v. Manchester United | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on FC Copenhagen. Manchester United faces a must win game at Old Trafford to stay alive in the Champions League. The problem is that Manchester United isn't a Champions League caliber team at the moment. They sit 8th in the Premier League table and they have negative goal differential. There are plenty of distractions, with rumors of playing coming and going and manager Ten Hag on the hot seat. Copenhagen is a competitive side that has played a draw in an away match and lost at Bayern by one goal. Asking United to win by more than one seems a bit over optimistic to me. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-04-23 | Paris Saint-Germain v. Newcastle United | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Newcastle. Newcastle is undefeated in their last five matches in all competitions, and they have posted five consecutive clean sheets. They have outscored the opposition 12-0 in those games. PSG is coming off a draw against the last place team in League 1. Paris sits just 5th in the table in the French league, and still bettors have them pegged as a favorite here against one of the top teams in the Premier League. PSG will be lucky to come away with a point here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-02-23 | Chelsea v. Fulham +0.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -116 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on Fulham. Chelsea is a disaster, sitting just a few points clear of the relegation zone after six game in the Premier League. They lost to Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, and played to a draw against Bournemouth. They play at Fulham, who have earned points in four of their last five matches. The only defeat during that span came at Manchester City. The last time these London rivals played in the Premier League, the result was a scoreless draw. A draw wouldn't be a bad result for both teams here, but the way Chelsea has been playing it would be no surprise if they find a way to lose. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
09-27-23 | Vancouver Whitecaps v. Colorado Rapids | 2-2 | Push | 0 | 19 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on VAN. The Colorado Rapids don't have a lot to play for at the end of the season. They sit dead last in the Western Conference standings, and they have the worst home record in MLS. Vancouver has a solid points total in away matches (5th most in the West). They also have a solid track record in recent visits to Colorado, earning points in six of their last seven trips to Denver. Colorado has conceded the first goal in seven of their last eight matches. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-01-23 | New York City FC v. CF Montreal | 1-0 | Loss | -145 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MTL. It's no picnic playing north of the border, and Montreal F.C. has only played eight home games. They have won seven of those contests, with a +12 goal differential. New York City has played 11 away matches, without a single win to show for it. We will be way of a draw here, but this is a game that Montreal should win. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-03-23 | Manchester United +1.25 v. Manchester City | 1-2 | Win | 50 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MUTD. These two rivals meet in the FA Cup, and Manchester City looks to complete a Treble (3 x Tropies). Standing in their way are rivals Manchester United, who are the only Premier League club to have won a Treble. There doesn't appear to be a lot of separation between the two clubs, who each won at home in the season series. Manchester United has only conceded three goal while winning four of their last five matches in all competitions. I expect this match to be close, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it go to extra time and penalties. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-17-23 | Real Madrid +1 v. Manchester City | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on RMA +1. As good as Manchester City is, and while I do think they deserve to be a favorite, I feel the line is a little inflated. The fact is that in the last five head to head meetings only one team has a win by more than one goal. That game was the second leg last year when Real Madrid scored in added time to win on aggregate. The score after 90 minutes was 2-1, so technically would not have covered the 1-goal handicap. The first leg showed what appeared to be little separation between these teams, and scoring chances were at a premium. The way I see it, the score could be tied after the 90, or either team could be winning. Two of those three scenarios get me paid with this bet. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-07-23 | Arsenal v. Newcastle United | 2-0 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Newcastle United. Just when you thought that Arsenal was going to win the Premier League, they crumpled under the pressure. They come into Sunday's away match at Newcastle with just one win in their last five games. The Magpies have won four of their last five, and they have only lost once at home in the Premier League this season. Arsenal played here last May and lost by a score of 2-0. The Gunners destiny is out of their hands, and their only hope to win the league is if Manchester City slips up. Newcastle is in a three way battle for a Champions League spot with Manchester United and Liverpool. I like the home team to get the win in this spot. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
04-09-23 | Arsenal v. Liverpool | Top | 2-2 | Push | 0 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Liverpool. So it's a down year for Liverpool, coming into Sunday's match winless in their last four in all competitions. They failed to score in three of those four matches. The good news is that all those results came away from Anfield, and their last home match was a record breaking 7-0 win over Manchester United. They have just one loss in 13 home matches this season, and they have won six straight home games versus Arsenal. They rested several players in a midweek draw at Chelsea, and that means almost everyone is fit for this clash versus Arsenal. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-18-23 | Liverpool v. Newcastle United | 2-0 | Loss | -111 | 29 h 42 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Newcastle. | |||||||
02-11-23 | Brighton & Hove Albion v. Crystal Palace +0.5 | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Crystal Palace. It's not easy to win on the road in the Premier League, and I'll take Palace to get at least a draw here against Brighton. Crystal Palace has played to a draw in two of their last three matches, including a 1-1 home draw versus Manchester United. History suggests this game could very well be a draw, as three of the last four meetings between these teams ended with a final score of 1-1. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-23-23 | Tottenham Hotspur v. Fulham +0.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -125 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Fullham. Fullham has earned points in eight of their 10 home games this season, while Spurs have dropped points in five of their last seven matches overall. These teams are trending in opposite directions, with Fullham on the rise and Spurs looking like they need to make wholesale changes. Harry Kane is rumored to be on the way out, possibly linked to Manchester United. Spurs haven't had a draw on the road in the Premier League this season, but they should be happy if they can get a draw here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-15-23 | Arsenal v. Tottenham Hotspur +0.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -135 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Spurs. Arsenal sits top of the table, and there's no doubt that the Gunners have been the better side so far this season. They come into Sunday's match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as heavy favorites. It's still a tough task to win away matches in this league, as evidenced by Manchester City suffering a defeat at Old Trafford Saturday. History favors the home side, as the home team has won outright in five straight meetings between these teams. A draw would be a decent result here for Arsenal, and I expect Spurs to at least salvage a point. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-27-22 | Nottingham Forest v. Manchester United -1.5 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on MUTD. Ten Hag has Manchester United firing on all cylinders, they have battled their way into the Top 5 in the Premier League table. It's going to be a tough ask to finish in a Champions League spot, with Arsenal. Newcastle and City way out in front, and Liverpool and Spurs within a few points. Their first game back after the World Cup comes against Nottingham Forest, who own the Premier League's worst record in away matches. Forest is 0-2-5 with a -18 goal differential in away matches this season. Their most recent away match in the Premier League was a 5-0 loss at Arsenal. They might be looking at another blowout loss here at Old Trafford. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-28-22 | Switzerland +1.25 v. Brazil | 0-1 | Win | 50 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 3* play on SUI. So far in the World Cup, teams that have won by two or more in their first match, haven't done as well in their next match. Netherlands, Spain and England all settled for a draw in their second match. France won 4-1 in their opening match versus Australia, and then they beat Denmark 2-1 in their next match. Brazil will not have their leading scorer Neymar for the remainder of the Group Stages. The Swiss will likely be playing for a draw here, something they have successfully achieved in two of their last four matches versus Brazil. The Swiss have played nine matches at the World Cup since 2014, and only one of those nine matches resulted in a loss by more than one goal. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-23-22 | Costa Rica +2 v. Spain | 0-7 | Loss | -100 | 19 h 56 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Costa Rica. At first glance it looks like this is a mismatch, but Costa Rica has thrived as an underdog at the World Cup. In 2014 they finished first in a Group that had been named the Group of Death, edging out England, Italy and Uruguay. They didn't make it out of the Group Stages in 2018, but they didn't lose a match by more than two goals either. Spain should be the favorite here, but this price seems far too high. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-22-22 | Australia v. France -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 50 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on France. No Benzema... no need to panic for France. The defending champions have depth at every position. Australia did not impress in World Cup Qualifying matches. They had one win in their last five matches, and lost to Saudi Arabia and Japan. Their leading scorer Harry Souttar plays in England, not in the Premier League but at Stoke City in the League Championship. France won their last three World Cup Qaulifying matches by a combined score of 12-0. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-21-22 | Wales +0.25 v. United States | 1-1 | Win | 50 | 33 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Wales +0.5. The United States has not done anything in recent qualifying matches to justify being favored here in their World Cup opener versus Wales. They scored just one goal, while going 0-2-1 in their last three matches. The one goal came against El Salvador, and they failed to score in a loss to Japan and a 0-0 draw versus Saudi Arabia. Wales is winless in their last three qualifying matches, but they played European superpowers Netherlands and Belgium twice. It should be considered encouraging that Wales scored in four of their last five matches, and during that span they didn't lose a match by more than one goal. I fancy Wales to get at least a draw here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-02-22 | Sevilla +2 v. Manchester City | 1-3 | Push | 0 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Sevilla. While Manchester City is the superior team playing at home, the line here is grossly inflated when you factor in the motivation for the two clubs. Pep Guardiola will rest his starters, and let the youngsters take the reigns here as City has already clinched top spot in the group. Sevilla needs a win to qualify, and should field their best squad. The last time they played at the Etihad they lost 2-1, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is the final score in this game. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-01-22 | Ajax Amsterdam v. Rangers +0.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -102 | 15 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Rangers. In a meaningless game at the end of the group stages, I expect a better effort from the Rangers in front of a home crowd. Rangers are winless in the group stages so far, and neither of these teams has any opportunity to advance. A win at home on their way out of the competition would offer some consolation for the fans. Rangers are 6-0-1 at home in their domestic league, with a +18 goal differential. In Champions League qualifiers they were 1-0-1 with a +3 goal differential. Ajax has nothing to gain here in Scotland, and it would be surprising if they didn't rest some key players. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-29-22 | Leeds United v. Liverpool -1.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Liverpool. It was a poor start to the season for Liverpool, but Jorgen Klopp and the boys appear to have found their stride. They are coming off a 3-0 win over Ajax in the Champions League, and they are undefeated at Anfield with a +12 goal differential in six matches. Leeds on the other hand are ready to sack their manager. They are facing relegation, and they are winless in away matches this season. Their last game at Anfield was a 6-0 loss in February. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-26-22 | Liverpool v. Ajax Amsterdam +0.5 | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Ajax. Liverpool is coming off a loss to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, and they are destined to finish second in their group in the Champions League. There won't be anything to gain here for either team in an away match at Ajax. The Dutch side is unbeaten in five home matches in the Dutch league, with a goal differential of +20 (yes in five matches). When Ajax played at Anfield. Liverpool was fortunate to escape with a 2-1 win after scoring the game winner in the 89th minute. They have since added more players to their injury list. A draw should suit Jurgen Klopp just fine here, as he won't have his best squad available. GL, Jesse | |||||||
10-25-22 | Manchester City v. Borussia Dortmund +1 | 0-0 | Win | 100 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on Dortmund. Manchester City sits 1st in Group G, and they will travel to Germany to play 2nd place Dortmund on Tuesday. Manchester City won the first leg by a score of 2-1, on a late goal from Erling Haaland. Man City is 3-1-1 in five matches versus Dortmund dating back to 2016, and all three wins came by the exact same score (2-1). A win here would clinch the group for City, but a draw would likely also do the trick. Dortmund is 4-1-1 in six home matches in the Bundelsiga, which includes a 2-2 draw versus Bayern Munich. Don't be surprised if this game ends in a draw. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-22-22 | Manchester United +0.5 v. Chelsea | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a 4* play on MUTD +0.5. Things are starting to take shape for Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United, the Red Devils are 4-0-1 in their last five matches in all competitions. They face a tough test here at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea is also 4-0-1 in their last five matches. History tells us that this game is likely to be close. These teams have played to a draw in each of the last four meetings. Don't be surprised if we see a fifth straight draw in this series. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-16-22 | Manchester City v. Liverpool +0.5 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show |
This is a 10* on Liverpool. So Manchester City looks like an unstoppable force this season, while Liverpool has had a poor start in the Premier League. This has the Citizens pegged as heavy favorites heading to Anfield on Saturday, in a game where a draw would probably suit them just fine. In fact the last two times these teams met in the Premier League the result was a draw. Liverpool also knocked City out of the FA Cup and won the Community Shield versus City. While Pep Guardiola may have the superior squad this season, playing at Anfield is a daunting task. It's been five and a half years since Liverpool lost at home in front of their fans in a Premier League match. Manchester City hasn't won at Anfield since 2003, and that is their only win in 20 visits to Liverpool all time (modern era). GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-31-22 | Newcastle United v. Liverpool -1.75 | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Liverpool. After a lackluster start to the season Liverpool scored nine times in a 9-0 win over Bournemouth over the weekend. They host Newcastle here on Wednesday, and this looks like a tough spot for the Magpies. Newcastle could be without six starting players for this match, and that includes stars Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson. The last visit to Anfield was a 3-1 loss for Newcastle, and a similar score should be expected here in this match. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-16-22 | DC United v. Los Angeles FC -1.5 | 0-1 | Loss | -135 | 22 h 35 m | Show | |
This is a 1* play on LAFC. While the home team is an enormous favorite here, this just seems like too great a mismatch for the visitors to overcome. LAFC (the best team in MLS) has a +20 goal differential at home, while the visitors (DC United) have a -18 goal differential on the road. Only Charlotte has a worse goal differential in away matches (-19), and they just lost 5-0 at Banc of California Stadium. LAFC won the last meeting 4-0 in Washington, and a similar score is expected here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-15-22 | Crystal Palace v. Liverpool -1.75 | 1-1 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 20 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Liverpool. I am not concerned by a 2-2 draw at Fulham in their season opener. Liverpool was coming off a 3-1 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield. They were entitled to suffer a bit of a let down on the road. This is a whole different kettle of fish (and chips). Playing at home at Anfield where they were undefeated last season. The Reds were 15-4-0 with a +40 goal differential in 19 home matches a year ago. They are facing a Crystal Palace team that they have beaten in five straight meetings. All five of those games were decided by 2+ goals, with a combined score of 17-1. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-14-22 | Tottenham Hotspur +0.5 v. Chelsea | 2-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 2* play on Spurs. While Chelsea has won the last four meetings between these two teams, holding Tottenham scoreless in all four matches, Spurs appear to be vastly improved since last season. They got off to a convincing start with a 4-1 win over Southamton in their season opener, while Chelsea just barely beat Everton in a 1-0 win decided by a penalty. Last season Chelsea played to a draw in seven of their 19 home matches, winning just nine of those contests. Tottenham suffered just six losses in 19 away matches last season. I like the Spurs chances of at least earning a draw here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-30-22 | Austin v. Sporting KC | Top | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 20 h 28 m | Show |
This is a 5* play on Austin. Only four teams have a positive goal differential on the road, and one of those teams is Austin FC. There are only three teams in Major League Soccer with a negative goal differential at home, and one of those is Sporting KC. Ranked dead last in the Western Conference, Sporting KC also has the worst home record in the league. Austin FC leads MLS in scoring with 45 goals in 22 matches, while Sporting KC ranks dead last in the league with just 19 goals in 23 matches. Home field may not make a difference here in tonight's match. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-19-22 | Boca Juniors v. Argentinos Juniors +0.25 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 48 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Argentinos Juniors. The Boca Juniors are the most famous team in Argentina, winning the league a record 34 times. The betting markets have been slow to adjust to the fact that they are no longer one of the top teams in the league. Argentinos Juniors are level on points with the first place team in the league, and they are unbeaten at home (3-0-1). Boca Juniors have lost two of three away matches, and are just 4-4 overall in the league. The poor results have led to the sacking of Sebastian Battaglia, and Boca will have an interim manager moving forward. The home dog appears to be the sharp play here. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
04-26-22 | Real Madrid +1.25 v. Manchester City | Top | 3-4 | Win | 50 | 21 h 16 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Real Madrid +1.5. Manchester City has no business being such a big favorite here in the first leg of this Champions League tie. While City is under heavy pressure in a heated Premier League battle with Liverpool, Madrid is on the verge of clinching another La Liga title. Karim Benzema looks like the best player in the world at the moment, with a dozen goals in nine matches in Champions League play. Manchester City has injury concerns that might cause Gabriel Jesus to play out of position at right back. We expect a cautious approach from both teams, and a draw seems like a likely result. Only once in the last five head to head meetings has either of these teams won by more than one goal. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
04-08-22 | Wolverhampton Wanderers +0.5 v. Newcastle United | 0-1 | Loss | -140 | 15 h 46 m | Show | |
5* | |||||||
03-09-22 | Paris Saint-Germain v. Real Madrid | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Madrid. PSG won the first leg by a score of 1-0, but they head to the Bernabeu for the second leg of this Champions League tie versus Real Madrid. The home team is sitting top of the table in Spain, leading the league in goals scored as well as goal differential. They have yet to be beaten at home in La Liga this season, boasting a record of 10-0-4. Paris has lost two of three domestic league games since their first leg win versus Madrid, and they might not have Kylian Mbappe in the lineup Wedneday. The French international suffered a foot injury over the weekend. "Kylian Mbappé received a knock on his right foot in training today. He has undergone treatment this afternoon," read the release. "The medical tests are reassuring and another update will be made in 24 hours." It was Mbappe who scored the only goal in the first leg. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
03-06-22 | Portland v. Los Angeles FC | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 20 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LAFC. Carlos Vela missed most of the last two MLS seasons, and his team suffered in his absence. His last full season was in 2019, and he scored an incredible 36 goals in 33 starts. LAFC finished first in MLS that season, eight points clear of their closest competitor. Vela appears to be healthy, scoring a hat trick in the season opener. Portland needed to score a late equalizer to salvage a draw in their home opener versus New England. I don't fancy the Timbers to earn any points here in LA. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-22-22 | Lille OSC v. Chelsea -0.25 | 0-2 | Win | 109 | 12 h 27 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Chelsea. After finishing at the Top of League 1 in France last year, Lille sits 11th in the table this season. Chelsea sits third in the Premier League table, and they come in on top form with four wins and a draw in their last five matches. While they aren't really in the running to to win the Premier League, I think Chelsea may be better suited to win the Champions League. They have the best goalkeeper, and they are incredibly efficient on defense. The Blues have posted a clean sheet in three of their last four matches in all competitions, and I expect another clean sheet here. Looking for a 2-0 win for the home team. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-12-22 | Brighton & Hove Albion v. Watford +0.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -130 | 5 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Watford. Brighton Hove Albion sits in the top 10 in the Premier League table, despite winning just six of their 22 matches. They have played a Premier League leading 12 draws, making it twice as likely they draw than actually win, and three times as likely to lose or draw rather than win. They face a Watford club fighting to avoid relegation, and another draw here seems likely. Watford has played to a draw twice in their last four matches, and two of the last four head to head versus Brighton have been draws. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-11-21 | Manchester United -1 v. Norwich City | 1-0 | Push | 0 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Manchester United. The Red Devils have looked better since Ralf Rangnick has taken over. A 1-1 draw against Young Boys in the Champions League was not a bad result given that they rested most of their regular stars. They have won their last two Premier League starts versus Crystal Palace and Arsenal. They will play Norwich City Saturday, and this should be a mismatch. Norchwich sits dead last in the table, with no real hope of avoiding relegation. Manchester United has won the last three head to head meetings by a combined score of 9-2. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
10-24-21 | Liverpool v. Manchester United | 5-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on Liverpool. Manchester United is coming off a 3-2 win over Atalanta in the Champions League, just a few days after they lost 4-2 to Leicester in the Premier League. Their defense will need to be a lot better if they hope to come away with any points in this weekend's fixture versus Liverpool. Mo Salah leads the Premier League in scoring with seven goals in eight starts, and Liverpool is tied for 2nd with a +16 goal differential. Manchester United is 0-2-1 in their last three Premier League games versus Liverpool. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
09-25-21 | Manchester City v. Chelsea | Top | 1-0 | Loss | -105 | 60 h 54 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Chelsea. Chelsea sits in a first place tie with Liverpool, and they host fifth place Manchester City on Saturday. While City are defending champions, they failed to land a striker this summer, while rivals Chelsea and Manchester United signed the likes of Lukaku and Ronaldo. Manchester City was fortunate to come away with a draw at home versus Southampton last weekend, and they could be in trouble here at Stamford Bridge. The last time these teams played head to head was in the Champions League Final, and Chelsea won that game 1-0. Chelsea has won three straight versus City, posting a clean sheet in two of those wins. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-28-21 | Arsenal v. Manchester City -1.75 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 94 h 48 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Manchester City. The Gunners come into this game off a high, beating West Brom 6-0 in the Carabao Cup. It's time for a reality check though, as they have been outscored 4-0 in their first two Premier League matches. That includes a 2-0 loss at home to newly promoted Brentford. Mancehster City is the favorite to repeat as champions, and they are coming off a 5-0 home win over Norwich. Arsenal has given no indication they can do what few teams can, and that's come away with points at the Etihad. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-11-21 | England v. Italy | Top | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 87 h 52 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Italy. England fans fancy their team as the favorites to win the Euro, but perhaps Graeme Souness said it best: "If I was Gareth Southgate, sitting down to write his Russia 2018 report for the FA, then top of my notepad would be the following – never allow that song, 'Football's Coming Home', to be played again during a major tournament," declared Souness. "Football's coming home, is it? So, England effectively own the sport. I don't think so. "They didn't have a monopoly on it when their teams and the FA were big players in the global power game back in the last century, and they don't now." Their win over Denmark was a result of a controversial penalty that Kane missed, but had the good fortune to score on the rebound. All the pressure is on the English here in the Final, and they are up against an Italian side that is unbeaten in their last 33 matches. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-06-21 | Spain v. Italy | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 69 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Italy. Spain has survived extra time and penalty shootouts in their last two matches, while Italy is coming off an impressive 2-1 win over Belgium. If you've been betting on Spain in this tournament, you lost a lot of money. Their only regulation win came against Slovakia. Draws against Sweden and Poland were a huge disappointment. Italy has been spectacular defensively, conceding just one goal (from the penalty spot) in their last 12 matches. There's a meme going around that kind of says it all about their veteran defenders: "They aren't 19 year olds with cool haircuts, they don't have 50 million followers on Instagram, They don't have great cards on FIFA, they only know one thing and that's proper defending." GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-02-21 | Spain v. Switzerland +1 | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 40 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Switzerland. Spain will once again be a big favorite in the quarterfinals versus giant-killers Switzerland. The Swiss have just upset tournament favorites Frances, while Spain has just one win in four matches at this tournament. Their win over Croatia in the round of 16 was a draw as far as bettors are concerned, as the score was level after 90 minutes. They also played to a draw in matches versus Poland and Sweden. Spain is just 1-1-2 in their last four matches versus Switzerland, and the one win came by a score of 1-0. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-22-21 | England v. Czech Republic +1 | 1-0 | Push | 0 | 38 h 53 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Czech +1. England has long been the most overrated team in international football, and their impressive showing in World Cup 2018 only added fuel to the fire. So far in this tournament, that previous success appears to be the exception rather than the rule. Harry Kane came in as the favorite to win the Golden Boot, and he has yet to score. In fact he was taken off the field for a substitute in the draw against Scotland. England has put together a string of less than impressive results, winning four straight one goal games against inferior opposition prior to their embarrassing result against Scotland. They could be settling for another draw here against a far better Czech team. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-19-21 | Germany v. Portugal +0.25 | 4-2 | Loss | -109 | 35 h 6 m | Show | |
This is a 2* prop bet on Germany not to qualify. The Germans have plenty of work to do in order to move on to the next round. Sure they are favorites against Portugal on Saturday, but only slightly. There is an argument to be made that Portugal has a superior squad with the likes of Bruno Fernandez, Ruben Dias and Christiano Ronaldo. Germany would be eliminated with a loss, and while the price of Portugal to win outright is roughly 2-1, the payoff on this prop bet is twice as good. What about a draw? Well win lose or draw, this prop bet is still alive. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-16-21 | Wales v. Turkey | 2-0 | Loss | -155 | 18 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Turkey. Coming off a 3-0 loss to Italy, I think it's too soon to write this team off. Here is what I said prior to their loss to Italy: "Turkey also comes in undefeated in their last five matches, although draws against Latvia and Guinea fail to impress. While the Turkish side has plenty of star power up front, a younger and less experienced defense could be their undoing." Wales is a whole new kettle of fish, and so far their draw versus the Swiss fails to impress. Switzerland scored a game winning goal late in the contest that was ruled offside after VAR. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-08-21 | Los Angeles FC v. LA Galaxy +0.5 | 1-2 | Win | 106 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on LA Galaxy. The Galaxy will be an underdog in El Trafico, despite a slow start for rivals LAFC. So far Javier Hernandez leads the league in scoring with five goals in three matches. The 2019 Golden Boot winner Carlos Vela left in the season opener for LAFC, and his status is questionable heading into tonight's match. Without him LAFC has played back to back draws against Houston and Seattle. I like the Galaxy to earn at least a draw here in this rivalry match. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

04-28-21 | Manchester City v. Paris Saint-Germain +0.5 | 2-1 | Loss | -135 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on PSG +0.5. I had Chelsea as an underdog yesterday, and I correctly predicted the exact final score, noting that Chelsea would be content with a draw and a final score of 1-1 was quite likely. Here this afternoon I feel the same way about PSG, as Manchester City comes in as a road favorite, when they would also be content to play for a draw. There is also the issue that Manchester City was one of the main players in the European Super League debacle, while Paris was sensible enough to avoid that mess. PSG has scored 11 goals in their last three matches, while Manchester City has scored just three goals in their last three matches. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
04-27-21 | Chelsea +0.5 v. Real Madrid | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 25 h 59 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Chelsea. Chelsea would be content to earn a draw here on the road in the first leg of this Champions League tie versus Madrid. The Blues are 2-1-1 in their last four matches, conceding just one goal during that span. Real Madrid has posted a clean sheet in four straight matches, however they failed to score in three of those four games. We should be expecting a close, lowing scoring game and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended 1-1. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

03-10-21 | Barcelona FC +0.5 v. Paris Saint-Germain | 1-1 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Barcelona. PSG comes into the second leg of this Champions League tie with a 4-1 lead on aggregate. This should force Paris to be more conservative, and Barcelona to be far more aggressive. It would be foolish to count out Barcelona, as the last time they were in this position they reversed a four goal aggregate deficit by winning 6-1 in the second leg versus Paris in 2017. I wouldn't count on that today, but I do expect Barcelona to put some pressure on a banged up Paris club. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-07-21 | Manchester City v. Liverpool +0.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -120 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Liverpool. The defending champs have fallen on tough times, dropping seven points out of first place behind Manchester City. Injuries on defense have been costly, and they have conceded almost twice as many goals as Manchester City. They have scored 43 goals in 22 matches, and they have scored eight goals in their last four matches. History favors the home side here, as Manchester City has never won at Anfield. Their last visit to Merseyside resulted in a 3-1 loss back in 2019. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
02-04-21 | Chelsea v. Tottenham Hotspur +0.5 | 1-0 | Loss | -130 | 14 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Spurs. Chelsea has a new manager, and Thomas Tuchel will likely not appreciate Jose Mourino's comments regarding his experience managing at Chelaea. Mourino had this to say:"I don't think it's very difficult to coach at Chelsea because I was champion three times, Carlo Ancelotti was champion, Antonio Conte was champion," Mourinho said. It cannot be very, very difficult because we won titles there." The special one sure is a cheeky bastard! I fancy Spurs as a home underdog considering these teams played to a draw in both meetings in 2020. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

01-26-21 | Arsenal v. Southampton +0.25 | 3-1 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Southampton. Arsenal was knocked out of the FA Cup losing 1-0 to Southapmton over the weekend, and Aubameyang did not play due to personal reasons. Southampton has the fourth best home record in the Premier League, earning points in six of nine home games. They have also earned points in three of their last four matches against Arsenal. This looks like a pretty even matchup, and a draw would be no surprise here. These two teams are separated by just two points in the table, and by just one goal in goal differential. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-19-21 | Chelsea v. Leicester +0.25 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 58 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Leicester +0.25. Chelsea spent an awful lost of money prior to this season, but big salaries to the likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz aren't really paying dividends at the moment. The Blues sit seventh in the Premier League table, six point back of Leicester. They come into King Power Stadium as the favorites, but I fancy the draw here. Three of the last four matches between these teams have ended in a draw, and both teams have scored 33 goals this season. They have also both conceded 21 goals, for a goal differential of +12. Chelsea hasn't scored more than one goal in any of their last four Premier League matches. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-17-21 | Manchester United +0.5 v. Liverpool | 0-0 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Manchester United. The Red Devils are sitting in first place in the Premier League table, and they have been on top form recently. Liverpool on the other hand has not been sharp, dropping points in three of their last four matches. Two of the last three head to head meetings have been draws, and I like Manchester's chances of earning at least a draw here. United has only conceded three goals in their last five matches, and during that span they have posted three clean sheets. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
01-06-21 | Parma Calcio 1913 v. Atalanta -1.75 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atalanta. After finishing among the top clubs in Italy last season, Atalanta got off to a slow start to this season. They have now found their form, coming into today's match undefeated in their last five matches. They have won four straight against Parma, and three of those wins came by two or more goals. Atalanta has scored 33 goals, almost three times what Parma has scored this season. Atalanta has won their last three home games by a combined 12-2 margin. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-16-20 | Tottenham Hotspur +0.5 v. Liverpool | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 38 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Spurs +0.5. Jose Mourino has downplayed the fact that Spurs are sitting in first place in the Premier League, and that Liverpool has been hit hard by injuries. "Van Dijk is injured and he is a very good player of course, but give me Liverpool's list of injuries and compare with a list of Liverpool's best team," said Mourinho. "I can give you a list of 10 injuries at Tottenham." Pay no attention to those remarks, that is just coachspeak. Both these teams have more draws than wins over their last five matches, and Mourino likes his chances of at least earning a draw here at Anfield. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-12-20 | Seattle Sounders FC v. Columbus | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -125 | 23 h 60 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Seattle. The Sounders are the defending champions, and they are coming off an impressive win in their Semi Final match versus Minnesota. After a disallowed goal, they found themselves trailing with just a minute remaining in regulation. After scoring the equalizer in the 89th minute, they got the game winner in the third minute of extra time. Columbus has had an outstanding season, but with a pair of key midfielders set to miss the Final, they are at a disadvantage. Seattle may also find an advantage in set pieces, as they ranked second in the MLS in scoring off such plays. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
12-11-20 | West Ham United +0.5 v. Leeds United | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 18 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on West Ham. West Ham will be an underdog on the road this week, despite sitting in the top half of the table in the Premier League. They face Leeds, a team ranked 14th with an overall record of 4-2-5 with a -4 goal differential. The Hammers are coming off a 3-1 loss to Manchester United, in a match that they were leading 1-0 at halftime. Leeds has just one win in five home matches this season, and they've played to a draw in three of their last four matches versus West Ham. The visitors are expected to field a stronger side, and I fancy their chances of coming away with at least a draw. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

11-22-20 | Leicester +0.5 v. Liverpool | 0-3 | Loss | -105 | 155 h 33 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Leicester +0.5. Defending champions Liverpool currently sit just one point out of first place after just eight matches, but injuries threaten to derail their title defense. As of mid November, their entire starting defense is out, as is Mo Salah, Jordan Henderson, Thiago Alacantara and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain. Surely we expect Liverpool to drop points over the next few weeks, without any experienced defenders and striker Mo Salah unable to even return to England after getting Covid in Egypt. When he returns to the UK he will then need to be quarantined for 10 days. This opens the door for the likes of Spurs, Manchester City, Leicester and Chelsea. Leicester currently sits in first place, and they have won five straight matches. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
11-07-20 | Manchester United v. Everton +0.25 | 3-1 | Loss | -117 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Everton. Manchester United comes into Goodison Park as a favorite, despite the fact that they are closer to relegation than they are to competing for a top spot in the Premier League. They are coming off a 2-1 loss to Istanbul in the Champions League mid week, and they haven't scored a single goal in their last two Premier League matches. Everton is just three points out of first place in the Premier League, and they have won all their home games so far this season. Midfielder James Rodriguez will return to the lineup to face Manchester United, giving Everton a boost. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-16-20 | Manchester United v. Sevilla +0.25 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Sevilla +0.5. Manchester United is coming off a 1-0 win over Copenhagen, scoring the game's only goal on a penalty in the 95th minute. They are matched up against a far superior opponent tonight when they play Sevilla in the Semifinals. Only two teams in La Liga (Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) allowed fewer goals than Sevilla. Opportunities are expected to be far and few between in this match, and I think that favors the defenive minded Spanish club. Take SEVILLA. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
08-07-20 | Real Madrid +1 v. Manchester City | Top | 1-2 | Push | 0 | 391 h 53 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Real Madrid +1. I had Real Madrid in the first leg, and here is what I said prior to that match: "Manchester City will head into the first leg of this Champions League tie looking to survive with a chance to win the second leg at home at the Etihad in March. Real Madrid is undefeated at home in domestic competition, and they are also undefeated at home in the Champions League. Real Madrid has won this competition seven times, while Manchester City has suffered many disappointments. Madrid is in first place in Spain, with a +26 goal differential, while the Citizens are just the second best team in the Premier Leaague. It will be quite tough for City to come away with a win here, but a close loss with an away goal would still be a solid result." Now that City has a lead on aggregate as well as away goals, they can sit back and play for a draw. The problem is that City isn't a team designed to play defense, and that leaves them vulnerable to an upset. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

07-22-20 | Kansas City v. Real Salt Lake +0.5 | 2-0 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Real Salt Lake. Salt Lake hasn't conceded a goal yet at this tournament, and that really should come as no surprise. Last year LAFC was the only team in MLS to concede fewer goals that Real Salt Lake. A draw would ensure that both these teams advance, so we could see that influence the pace here in this game. It's also worth pointing out that scoreless draws have been somewhat of a trend in the early fixtures, and scoring average in the early matches is far lower than in the evening games. I like the under, and I like Salt Lake to earn at least a draw. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-19-20 | Chelsea v. Manchester United | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -137 | 52 h 51 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Manchester United. The hottest team in England right now is Manchester United. The come into Sunday's FA Cup Semi Final versus Chelsea undefeated in their last 19 matches in all competitions. They have had Chelsea's number winning four of the last five meetings, with one draw. Chelsea has also been moving up the table since the restart, but they have looked awfully sloppy at times. They have lost twice in their last five matches, falling 3-0 to Sheffield United, and 3-2 to West Ham. While Chelsea has a one point lead in the Premier League standings, the goal differential tells a different story. Manchester United is +28 compared to Chelsea's +15. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-12-20 | Arsenal v. Tottenham Hotspur | 1-2 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arsenal. Tottenham is a complete mess at the moment, winning just twice in their last 11 matches in all competitions. During that span they have played to a draw four times, and they have scored more than one goal just four times. They host Arsenal, who come in unbeaten in their last five matches. The Gunners have conceded just two goals during in those games. These teams have played to a draw in each of the last two meetings, so the underdog looks like a solid play here in a stadium without fans. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-08-20 | Sampdoria v. Atalanta -1.25 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 33 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atalanta. The hottest team in Italy right now isn't Juventus, or Lazio, or Inter Milan. No it's Atalanta that has won 10 in a row. They also lead the Serie A with 83 goals scored and a goal differential of +44. They host Sampdoria on Wednesday, who have a goal differential of -15. Sampdoria is particularly bad away from home, with an away record of 49-1 with a -11 goal differential. This has all the signs of another blowout win for Atalanta. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-07-20 | Lazio -1.25 v. Lecce | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Lazio. Coming off a loss to AC Milan, Lazio needs to get back on track in order to salvage any hope of catching first place Juventus. They couldn't have asked for a better opponent, as Lecce has conceded a Serie A worst 70 goals. Immobile and Caicedo did not play on the loss to AC Milan, but they are back with fresh legs for this match. We should expect Lazio to win comfortably. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-04-20 | AC Milan v. Lazio | 3-0 | Loss | -120 | 64 h 45 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Lazio. The title race is still on in Serie A, with just four points seperating Lazio and Juventus. Lazio needs a win here against AC Milan in order to keep the pressure on Juventus. Lazio has yet to lose at home, with a record of 12-0-3 in 15 matches. They have the second best goal differential in the Serie A (+38) while Milan has conceded one more goal than they have scored. This is a match where I would be wary of a draw, but I can't see Lazio losing here against Milan. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-04-20 | Bayern Munich -1.5 v. Bayer Leverkusen | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 62 h 44 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich isn't just the best team in Germany, in my opinion they are the best team in Europe. They have won 16 straight matches in all competitions, and 10 of those wins came by 2+ goals. Bayern Leverkusen was disappointing when the Bundesliga returned, They won three of six matches, but a 2-0 loss to Hertha Berlin in their second to last match ensured they would miss out on the Champions League next season. I don't expect that Munich will have any trouble with Leverkusen in the German Cup Final. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-04-20 | Arsenal +0.5 v. Wolverhampton Wanderers | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 60 h 15 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Arsenal +0.5. Wolverhampton is having a hell of a season, but seeing them listed as favorites against Arsenal makes me think there is a little recency bias at play. Technically a home game for Wolves, but without fans that might not be very significant. These teams have a history of playing close games, with three of the last five head to head meetings ending with a final score of 1-1. Arsenal has won three straight, posting a pair of clean sheets. I like their chances of earning a point. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
07-01-20 | Leicester v. Everton | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 27 h 34 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Leicester +0.5. After struggling in three matches since the restart, we find Leicester as underdogs in this match at Everton. Leicester has just two draws and a loss since the return to play, and they need to right the ship if they want to hold down a spot in the Champions League next season. They have been quite successful in recent matches versus Everton, with a record of 2-0-1 in three meetings in 2019. Everton has only scored twice in four matches since the return to play, and they have scored 21 fewer than Leicester this season. The Toffees are in no mans land in the Premier League table, with nothing to lose and not much to gain. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-30-20 | Luton Town v. Leeds United -1.5 | 1-1 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 38 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Leeds United -1.25. Leeds United is coming off a 3-0 win over Fulham, putting them top of the table. Next up are bottom feeders Luton Town, who come in with the worst goal differential in the League Championship. Leeds has won six of their last seven matches, and they posted a clean sheet in all six of those victories. This appears to be a mismatch of epic proportions, and we should expect Leeds to win by 2+ goals. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-28-20 | Atalanta -1 v. Udinese | 3-2 | Push | 0 | 51 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Atalanta. We get plus money taking Atlanta on the Asian handicap line (-1.25), and this match looks rather one-sided. Atalanta has the best goal differential in Series A, after just 27 matches they are +40. They come in as winners of five straight, while Udinese is winless in it's last five. They have scored just twice during that span, and Udinese has scored a Series A low 21 goals in 27 matches. Atlanta has won four straight against Udinese, and all four of those matches were decided by two or more goals. This appears to be a bargain. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-22-20 | Burnley +2.5 v. Manchester City | 0-5 | Loss | -117 | 40 h 41 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Burnley +2.5. Manchester City is coming off a 3-0 win over Arsenal in their first game since the restart, but the final score in that game was a little misleading. City scored just before halftime, and then an early red card in the second half changed the game. Pep says that moving forward he will look to rest players, as there is nothing left for his club to achieve in the league this season. Burnley still has plenty to play for, but won't have two of their best players (Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes). Jay Rodriguez will likely start, and he's found the net five times in a dozen starts this season. Burnley comes in undefeated in their last five matches, and I like them to compete against City in this match. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-21-20 | Liverpool -141 v. Everton | 0-0 | Loss | -110 | 336 h 23 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Liverpool. Liverpool should be more motivated to return to play than most teams, and a win over Everton in the Merseyside Derby will put them that much closer to a championship. They have had the edge in recent meetings versus Everton, winning three of the last four. Everton has far less reason to be excited about the return to play, with nothing to really gain. Normally the home team would have a decided advantage in this derby match, but that's not really a factor without fans. "The fact that we play home without supporters is a disadvantage for us, it will be a disadvantage for Liverpool, this is for sure. "Nobody knows how the players are going to react without supporters. We will see," said Carlo Ancelloti. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-20-20 | SC Freiburg +2.25 v. Bayern Munich | 1-3 | Win | 50 | 80 h 9 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Freiburg +2.5. Bayern Munich has very little to play for in this match, after clinching the Bundesliga title in a win over Werder Bremen mid week. They will surely rest players, and should be in cruise control. Freiburg has been playing well, with just one loss in their last five matches. Two of the last three times these teams have faced each other, the result has been a draw. Bayern is coming off three straight wins by just one goal, so asking them to win this match by three goals seems a little far fetched. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-20-20 | Leicester -0.25 v. Watford | 1-1 | Loss | -55 | 288 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Leicester City. The return to play in the Premier League is not well received by everyone. Watford's leading scorer Troy Deeney has been very outspoken about his decision not to train with the team. He has very good reasons for his decision, with a young child who has health concerns. Watford may need all hands on deck if they are going to avoid relegation. Leicester City have a lot more motivation to return, as they look to secure a spot in the Champions League next year. Leicester has won three of their last four matches against Watford, and they should be in far better shape here for this match. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-19-20 | Manchester United v. Tottenham Hotspur | 1-1 | Push | 0 | 29 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Manchester United. This is a huge match for both teams, as they are both looking to secure a Champions League spot. Manchester United comes in undefeated in their last five matches, while Spurs come in winless in their last five matches. Granted that Tottenham was without several key players such as Harry Kane and Son Heung-Kim, who are now fit to play and are expected to start versus Manchester United. They might hit the ground running, but it is far more reasonable to expect it to take a few matches before they really start clicking again. Manchester United has won four of their last five versus Spurs, and I like their chances here in the first game back. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-17-20 | Arsenal +1.5 v. Manchester City | 0-3 | Loss | -107 | 322 h 36 m | Show | |
This is a Free play on Arsenal +1.5. It's been a disappointing season for Manchester City, and they really have nothing to gain in the Premier League when it returns. They are so far behind Liverpool, that they might as well just focus on the Champions League. Rumors have several star players leaving the team after this year, so they might not have a lot invested in these remaining games. Arsenal on the other hand has a chance to finish in the top five, and they come in as winners of four of their last five matches in all competitions, and are undefeated in their last five Premier League matches. Man City hasn't won any of it's last five games by more than one goal, and Arsenal hasn't lost any of it's last five games by more than one goal. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||

06-13-20 | Barcelona FC -1.75 v. Mallorca | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Barcelona -1.5. The gap in talent between the bottom teams and the top teams in La Liga is as wide as it gets, and Mallorca is up against a monster when they face Barcelona in the first game back. Both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have been ruled fit to play on Saturday, and there is no shortage of firepower for the Spanish Giants. Barcelona has outscored Mallorca 10-2 in the last two head to head matches, and they have won the last five meetings by 2 or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
06-06-20 | Hertha Berlin +1.5 v. Borussia Dortmund | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 109 h 31 m | Show | |
This is a 5* play on Hertha Berlin +1.5. Dortmund is coming off a 6-1 win over the last place team in the Bundesliga, in a game that was scoreless at halftime. They are a massive favorite here this week against a Hertha Berlin side that is undefeated in their last five matches. Dortmund has lost twice in their last five matches, and they have not defeated Hertha Berlin by more than one goal in each of the last four head to head meetings. Two of the last four meetings ended in a draw. Hertha Berlin has scored two or more goal in each of their last five matches. I think it's asking too much of Dortmund to expect them to win this game by two or more goals. GL, Jesse Schule | |||||||
05-17-20 | Bayern Munich -1.75 v. Union Berlin | 2-0 | Win | 50 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga returned on Saturday, and we saw that the biggest blowout on the board was a 4-0 Borussia Dortmund win over Schalke. Despite injury woes, I noted that teams competing for the top spot in the league will likely have taken their training more seriously during the break. Bayern averages three goal per game, and they won their last four matches by a combined score of 12-0. The home side won't have any fans to cheer them on, so I like Bayern to win this game by a wide margin. GL, Jesse Schule |
