Another weekend of soccer picks and parlays is here. This weekend we have 9 games in the EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga to cover in these weekend soccer predictions.
Soccer Picks and Parlay #1
Here’s a two-game soccer parlay in the Premier League on Saturday.
Man City vs Newcastle Prediction
I have to keep following the BTTS or BTTS & Over 2.5 trend in City games. It struck again this week in the UCL where they were up 2-1 and then blew another late lead and lost 3-2 vs Real Madrid. That puts immense pressure on them to win next week in Madrid which could affect their preparations for this game.
City’s only clean sheets in 16 games have come vs Salford City, Ipswich and Leicester. Throw in 1 more vs Forest and they’ve only kept the ball out of their net 4 times in 24 games. The BTTS & Over is on a 6-0 run and simply Over 2.5 has gone 10-0.
Newcastle played last weekend and beat Birmingham City3-2 in the FA Cup so have more rest and have won 12/14 games, scoring in 17 straight and 21/22. The Over 2.5 has gone 6-1 in their recent matches and they’ve scored at least twice in 14 of 16.
Earlier this season it was 1-1. City have only failed to score vs Newcastle once in 21 games and it was a Carabao Cup match last season. And when you go back 22 games to find the next time they didn’t score, it was also in that tournament back in 2014.

West Ham vs Brentford Prediction
West Ham has been off since February 3 so will have had plenty of time to prepare for this. They can only go up with just 1 win in 7 where they’ve been outscored 18-6, giving up 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4 and 5 goals in their past 7. As poor as the Hammers have been they’ve still scored in 12/14.
Brentford are in a similar boat. With no FA Cup action have been off since February 2 and have only 2 wins in 11, keeping only 2 clean sheets in 14 games and none in 5, giving up 2 goals in 3 of their last 4. Their scoring has dried up a bit being shut out in 3/5 but oddly each of those were at home and they scored twice in the 2 road games in that time.
Earlier this season it was 1-1 and last season it was scores of 4-2 and 3-2.
These teams have given up the 5th-most (WH) and 6th-most (BRE) goals this season.

Soccer Picks and Parlay #2
This two-game parlay kicks off in the Bundesliga on Saturday in our weekend soccer predictions.
Stuttgart vs Wolfsburg Prediction
5th Stuttgart hosts 9th Wolfsburg with 5 points between them. They drew 2-2 in September and last season Stuttgart won 3-1 and 3-2.
Stuttgart ended a 3-game losing skid with 1-0 and 2-1 wins, have won 10/14 and have only failed to score once in 9 games.
Wolves have now drawn 3 straight 2-2, 1-1 and 0-0. Last week’s 0-0 draw with Leverkusen is only the 2nd time they’ve failed to score all season. The BTTS is 7-2 of late.
Both could be missing some firepower up top with Undav for Stuttgart and Wind for Wolves potentially set to miss out. But each have plenty of others who can contribute with Demirovic and Woltemade (STU) and Amoura and Tomas (WOL) and in fact each have 15 players who have found the scoresheet this season.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich Prediction
This is a huge clash between 2nd Leverkusen and 1st Bayern with 8 points between them.
In the Bundesliga, they drew 1-1 in September and in the Pokal Leverkusen won 1-0 but Manuel Neuer was sent off just 17 mins in.
Leverkusen has had success vs Bayern being 3-2-0 in the last 5 and only losing once in 7 games.
Last week’s 0-0 with Wolfsburg was the first time in 18 games that Leverkusen didn’t score. They’re 14-2-1 in that time as well. They’ll have the rest advantage having qualified in the top 8 of the UCL and being off this week and no game midweek next week.
Bayern Munich just beat Celtic on Wednesday in the UCL so will have a closer Leg 2 match next week then they would have liked. They’ve won 5 straight and 9/10 but have given up a goal in 6/7.
On one had Bayern have scored in 28 straight Bundesliga games. On the other, Leverkusen have lost just 1 of their past 53 league games. Picking a winner seems tough, maybe a draw, but likely a goal or more comes from both.

Soccer Picks and Parlay #3
On Sunday we like these two EPL games in our soccer parlay picks.
Liverpool vs Wolves Prediction
1st Liverpool are heavy favorites over 17th Wolves. Liverpool won the past 4 meetings 2-1, 2-0, 3-1 and 2-0.
Liverpool are just 2-1-2 in 5 and have suffered some poor results losing 1-0 to Plymouth Argyle in the FAC Cup last weekend and then drawing Everton 2-2 on Wednesday.
They’ll have the short rest but will be looking for a big bounceback here. Both of those last 2 games were on the road and back at Anfield Liverpool haven’t lost in 16 and have scored multiple goals in each of those games.
After 1 win in 6, Wolves have now won 2-0 and 2-0 over VIlla and Blackburn Rovers. That winning streak should end here.
- Soccer Picks Today: Liverpool to win & score over 1.5
Tottenham vs Manchester United Prediction
Two of the most disappointing teams in the EPL are 13th Man U and 14th Tottenham who are separated by just 2 points.
Spurs have 2 wins this season in this matchup winning 3-0 in the Prem and 4-3 in the League Cup. There’s always goals between these two with other scorelines of 2-2, 2-0, 2-2, 2-0, 3-2, 3-0, 3-1, 6-1, 1-1 and 2-1.
These teams fit the bill for good BTTS teams. Neither play good defense and both have just enough talent to usually score. However, Spurs are without the services of the injured Richarlison and Solanke but still should have enough to get on the scoresheet at home.

Soccer Picks and Parlay #4
These soccer picks are split over Saturday and Sunday in La Liga, the Bundesliga and Serie A.
Villarreal vs Valencia Prediction
5th Villarreal hosts slightly improving 18th Valencia.
The Yellow Submarine are hot at 4-2-1 and undefeated in 4 with a 4-0 win, 1-1 draw, 5-1 win and 2-1 win. They’re usually always good for a goal but have also conceded in 11/12 and 24/25 overall matches this season.
Valencia have a huge hole to dig out of but at 5–1-2 in recent overall matches may be turning a corner with a chance to get out of the relegation spots. Only a 5-0 loss to Barcelona have seen them fail to score in 11 games and actually both losses have come to Barca. Take out those games and they’ve been solid and also have 4 clean sheets in those 8 games.
It was 1-1 earlier this season and only once in 14 meetings have there not been 2+ goals between them. Only Real Madrid and Barca have scored more goals than Villarreal but with Valencia’s improved form we could see BTTS or at least 2+. But then Valencia are still winless on the road in La Liga but have scored in 5/6 road games.
- Soccer Picks Today: Over 1.5
Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim Prediction
10th Werder hosts 15th Hoffenheim.
It was 4-3 Werder this season. And other recent meetings have seen scores of 2-1, 3-2, 2-1, 2-1, 4-0, 1-1, 3-0 and 3-2.
Werder is slumping at 1-2-3 and have been outscored 14-8 in that time. 7 of their past 8 games have seen 2+ goals.
Hoffenheim have been slumping for even longer with only 2 wins in 15. They’ve allowed 4, 3, 3, 2, 3, 1 and 5 goals of late. Before last week’s 4–0 loss, they had scored in 5 straight, scoring 1, 4, 2, 2 and 3 goals. There’s been 2+ goals in 9/10 of their games. Over 2.5, BTTS or Over 1.5 in this parlay.
- Soccer Picks Today: Over 1.5
Juventus vs Inter Milan Prediction
5th Juventus hosts 2nd Inter Milan. While this matchup has typically been low—scoring in years past, it was a wild 4-4 draw in October where it was 2-1 Juve, then 4-2 Inter and then two late goals by Juve drew them level.
Juve rarely loses with 3 defeats in 24. They’ve won 4-1, 2-1 and then 2-1- over PSV in the UCL this week. They’ve conceded in 5 straight (7 goals)and in 10/12.
Inter also rarely loses with 3 losses in 29 and they’ve only failed to score twice in that time.
Having qualified in the top 8 of the UCL, Inter will be more rested and have less to look ahead to next week.
I can see an Inter win, draw, BTTS or just Inter to score
