RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

While the Arsenal onslaught in the EPL has overshadowed City’s play, their offense has been elite, scoring 2.5 goals per game this season. They have won 5 of their last 7 games throughout all competitions and are clearly the more talented side.

However, in the group stage last season, they had fewer expected goals when taking on Leipzig on the road and ended up losing 2-1. While City will be a popular favorite, pass on the moneyline here. Red Bull Arena has been a difficult place to win this season, but betting against City also isn’t a wise move.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

In the 2 games between these teams last season, there were 12 goals scored, and in each game, both teams has more than 1 expected goal. On top of that, City’s defense has taken a step back, averaging 1 goal per game allowed which doesn’t compare favorably to the .68 they allowed per game last season.

The absence of M Kevin de Bruyne could be beneficial here as well with M Phil Foden potentially sliding in and producing a more offense-focused style of play. That said, Leipzig is averaging 2.05 goals per game which is similar to last season’s 2.12. They scored 2 goals per game on City in 2 matchups.

Put it all together, and back the OVER 2.5 (-135).

Analyzing Tuesday’s Liverpool vs. Real Madrid odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Liverpool welcomes Real Madrid to Anfield Tuesday in the 1st of 2 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 matches. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET.

Liverpool vs. Real Madrid picks and predictions

Prediction

Real Madrid 1, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+260).

Liverpool has drawn 2 of their last 3 home games and 3 of their last 6. They haven’t played up to standard with those draws coming against Derby County, Wolves and Chelsea.

While Benzema may be out, Madrid has received production from F Federico Valverde, who has 7 goals. The road side has also been solid in this situation, posting 9 wins in 12 away matches. They were 1-1-1 on the road in Champions League Group Stage matches.

These teams are close on paper and familiar with each other. Picking a winner is difficult, and the DRAW (+260) has value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).

All 4 of the Round of 16 games played so far has gone Under 2.5 goals with 3 of them ending 1-0. While both teams have dynamic attacks, the defenses will be just as good. D Virgil van Djik, D Jordi Alaba and D Daniel Carvajal are some of the best in the world at their position.

Real has gone Under this total in their last 3 road games while Liverpool has gone Under in 2 straight road matches. Considering the Round of 16 trends mixed with different attacking styles, back the UNDER 2.5 (+115).

Arsenal vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Manchester City 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (+200).

Arsenal has beaten Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham at home this season. They have played well and have had success against top-tier clubs. The key here is in the midfield, and the combination of M Granit Xhaka and Odegaard has proven to be as good as any other in the EPL.

With City D John Stones out, they may struggle as contain a balanced Arsenal attack. City has lost to Tottenham, Liverpool and Man U on the road this season. Their struggles away from home have been well documented.

Put it all together and back ARSENAL (+200).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-115).

Both teams have talented attacks and should be able to get ample opportunities. Arsenal is averaging 2.19 goals per game. They have scored 3 or more goals in 2 of their last 4 home games and have topped this total in 3 of their last 5 home games.

City has had at least an expected goal in all but 1 road match this season. They have had at least 2 expected goals in 2 of their last 4 road matches. City is averaging 2.55 goals per game.

The dominant attacks should produce goals in this game. Back the OVER 2.5 (-115).

Borussia Dortmund vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Chelsea 1, Borussia Dortmund 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+245).

Chelsea has an ultra-deep roster, but it will be down players like F Christian Pulisic and F N’Golo Kante. F Raheem Sterling is likely to miss the game as well. However, Moukoko being out could be an even bigger deal than Chelsea being down multiple 1st-team players.

Dortmund played to the level of their competition in the group stage, having posted 3 draws in 6 games. They drew both Manchester City and FC Copenhagen. Chelsea drew just once in their group stage, but in league play, they have 7 draws in 22 matches, 4 of those coming on the road.

With these teams being unfamiliar with each other, it is likely opportunities are limited. Combine that with key pieces being out and a recent history of tying, and back the DRAW (+245).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Chelsea has gone Under this in 10 of their last 12 games through all competitions. They have drawn 3 straight league games as well. Chelsea has been held scoreless in 4 of their last 7 games. They have allowed 1 or fewer expected goals in 3 of their last 5 games.

Dortmund went Under this total in their last 3 Champions League matches. They have gone Under in 2 of their last 4 games throughout all competitions and will be without a key goalscorer as well.

Back the UNDER 2.5 (-110).

Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

PSG 2, Bayern Munich 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN (+145).

Beating Bayern Munich is easier said than done, but PSG has the talent do to just that. I would wait to see if Mbappe and F Lionel Messi will start but both are available.

PSG has it all, from arguably 3 of the best strikers in the world to quality defenders like D Marquinhos and D Achraf Hakimi. PSG has won 9 of 11 home matches in league play this season.

Bayern will be down key names, like GK Manuel Neuer, F Sadio Mane and D Lucas Hernandez. Given the absence of key pieces for Bayern and the strength at home for PSG, back PSG (+145).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-160).

With F Thomas Muller doubtful and the unknown regarding Mbappe and Messi, both of which have battled injuries as of late, the opportunities may not be converted. PSG has gone Under this total in 5 of their last 8 matches and in 2 of their last 3.

Bayern has gone Under this total in 5 of their last 7. Despite electric offensive players, both teams allowed a combined 9 goals in 12 group stage matches. Against each other, expect limited opportunities. Back the UNDER 3.5 (-160).

AC Milan vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

AC Milan 1, Tottenham 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+225).

Tottenham hasn’t been as good as expected this season, and they have drawn 4 of 12 road matches. They also drew 2 of 6 group stage games. AC Milan, on the other hand, drew once in the group stage.

Both teams severely limited opponents as each allowed 1.2 or fewer goals per game in the group stage. Tottenham has been within .5 expected goals of their opponent in 4 of their last 5 games, having played both Man City and Leicester City.

Milan has also played teams closely as of late, having 3 of their last 5 games end within .6 expected goals. Both teams have played up to and down to their competition.

Considering that, back the DRAW (+225) for a small unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-140).

AC Milan averaged 2 goals per game in the group stage games, but they haven’t had similar luck as of late, being held scoreless in 4 of their last 7 games. Milan’s main success came defensively, having allowed 7 goals in 6 games.

Tottenham, while having elite strikers like Kane, scored just 8 goals through the 6 matches. They have scored 1 or fewer goals in 5 of their last 7 games throughout all competitions. Top teams also seem to have difficulty breaking each other down.

Considering how both teams have performed offensively lately, back the UNDER 2.5 (-140).

Manchester United vs. Leeds United odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester United vs. Leeds United odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Leeds United (4 wins, 10 losses, 6 draws) battles Manchester United (13-5-3) Wednesday. Kickoff from Old Trafford is set for 3 p.m. ET (USA Network). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester United vs. Leeds United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United has been surging lately, winning their last 4 matches throughout all competitions. They are 8-1-1 in their last 10 league matches and 8-1-1 at home this season. United is led in scoring by F Marcus Rashford with 10 goals this season. Rashford and F Bruno Fernandes, who has 5 goals, are the only United plays with 5-plus goals.

Leeds United, who recently brought in M Weston Mckennie, got off to a hot start, winning 2 of their first 3 games. They have since lost 4 of their last 7. Leeds is led in scoring by F Rodrigo, who has scored 10 goals this season. Their weakness is defense, having allowed 1.7 goals per game this season.

Manchester United vs. Leeds United picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 3, Leeds United 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Man U has been so dominant at home, winning their last 6 EPL home matches, that the moneyline isn’t worth playing. On the other side, Leeds just fired their manager, Jesse Marsch, and isn’t worth taking a small play on.

Ultimately, these odds are justified, but just overall unplayable.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-155).

The value here isn’t great, so I also wouldn’t hate the reasoning to suggest an Over 3.5 (+155).

Man U has scored at least 2 goals in their last 10 home matches throughout all competitions. They have scored at least 3 goals in 2 of their last 4 league games and at least 2 in all 4. They have gone Over 2.5 in all 4 of those. They have gone Over in 7 of 10 home matches.

Leeds, on the other hand, has a flawed defense yet has scored a goal in 6 of their 10 road matches. They have also allowed at least 2 goals in 6 of those 10.

The combination of the electric Man U attack, struggling Leeds defense and reasonably competent Leeds attack, back the OVER 2.5 (-155) and consider the Over 3.5 (+155).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester City (14 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws) battles Tottenham Hotspur (11-7-3) Sunday. Kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set for 11:30 a.m. ET (NBC). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City just played Tottenham at home on Jan. 19, beating them 4-2 and having 2.3 expected goals versus Tottenham’s .8. City has been virtually perfect at home, posting a 9-1-1 record and is just 5-2-2 on the road. They have won 3 of their last 4 league games, losing to Manchester United on Jan 14. City is led by F Erling Haaland, who has 25 goals on the season.

As for Tottenham, they have yet to draw at home, having won 6 and lost 4. They are just 2-3 in their last 5 league matches, 2 of which have been at home. Tottenham is led by F Harry Kane, who has 16 goals on the season. No other player has more than 4. They have had issues defensively this season, allowing 1.48 goals per game.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur 2, Manchester City 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET TOTTENHAM OR TIE (+105).

An option, instead of just taking the moneyline or Tottenham to win, is combining the 2. City has yet to go on the road and beat a top-5 team this season, losing to Man U and drawing Newcastle United 3-3. While they did beat Tottenham, the difference in location should be a factor here.

City’s defense also isn’t what it was a year ago. They allowed 26 goals in 38 games last season and have allowed 20 in 20 matches this year. They will be going against the EPL’s 3rd-best-scoring team which should expose those shortcomings.

While Tottenham is 0-2-0 against top-5 teams at home, they had .2 fewer expected goals than Arensal and more expected goals than Newcastle. They have played top teams closely at home, and for this value, back TOTTENHAM OR TIE (+105).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-150).

It is difficult to get there given the value, but the Over should be the better play. City scored 4 on Tottenham just a few weeks ago and has the league’s most dangerous attacker in Haaland. The league’s top-two scorers should be active for this game, combining for 37 goals on the season.

City has gone Over this total in 3 straight EPL games, scoring 3 or more goals in their last 2. Tottenham has gone north of it in 8 of their last 11 matches. For a small unit given the value, back the OVER 2.5 (-150).

Everton vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Everton vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In English Premier League action on Saturday, Everton (3 wins, 11 losses, 6 draws) and Arsenal (16-1-2) at Goodison Park in Liverpool at 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Everton vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Everton heads into this home match with Sean Dyche as the manager, replacing Frank Lampard. The Toffees currently sit 19th out of 20 in the EPL table, posting just 15 out of a possible 60 points while posting a dismal minus-13 goal differential.

Arsenal sits atop the table with 50 points, which is 5 clear of second-place Manchester City with a game in hand. The Gunners are second overall with a plus-29 goal differential, too, and they’re tied with Newcastle with just 1 loss apiece.

Everton vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Everton 0

Moneyline (ML)

Arsenal (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive. It’s a bit risky, too, as Arsenal hasn’t won at Goodison Park since the 2017-18 campaign.

Instead, look to ARSENAL -1.5 (+115) against the spread instead. Everton hasn’t won in each of the past 8 EPL matches. While The Toffees should show a little more heart with the new regime change, it will take time before we see any noticeable changes.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+100) is a solid play at even-money, although there is some risk.

Everton has conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of its past 7 EPL matches, while Arsenal has found the back of the net at least twice in 5 of the past 6. But it is hard to envision Everton getting on the board, and Arsenal should meet a lot more resistance after the coaching change for the home side.

USA vs. Colombia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s USA vs. Colombia odds and lines, with USMNT expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The United States Men’s National Team battles the Colombia Men’s National Team Saturday in Los Angeles. Kickoff from Dignity Health Sports Park is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the USA vs. Serbia odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

The USMNT won’t have many familiar faces as this call-up roster seems more primed to showcase the next group of talent for the USA. The USMNT played Wednesday and lost 2-1 to Serbia, striking first on a goal by F Brandon Vazquez, who was making his first cap for USA. They did have 9 more shots yet had 1 fewer strike on goal. USMNT dominated possession with 62%.

Colombia, on the other hand, missed the 2022 World Cup. Their last competition was March 29, a 1-0 win over Venezuela. While this also won’t be Colombia’s A team, they do have talent with Columbus Crew F Cucho Hernandez, who scored 9 goals in 16 matches and completed changed the Crew’s season last year. They will also be the far fresher side as the USMNT played Wednesday.

USA vs. Colombia picks and predictions

Prediction

USA 2, Colombia 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+225).

The USMNT showed a better-than-expected ability to get into the Serbian back line and get shots, but they struggled to finish. With so many players new to the roster, that should be expected. However, with 20 shots, they should be able to convert more against Colombia. Also, F Jesus Ferreira, who didn’t play Wednesday, should see time.

Colombia will have talent on their roster with Hernandez and talented LAFC F Chicho Arango. Both sides should be able to push forward, and with Colombia sitting 17th in the world rankings, they should present a challenge for the USMNT.

I expect to see some more of the USMNT more talented players like Ferreira, and at this value, a DRAW (+225) is how I’d play the moneyline.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+115).

The USMNT started D Walker Zimmerman Wednesday, and he is their best defender. They may opt to give D Sam Rogers more time along with potentially seeing M Paxten Aaronson. Players like Aaronson and Ferreira should bring pace while Colombia is going to have its own talented attackers.

Arango had 16 goals in 28 starts last season for LAFC. He can get into the final third with ease, and the combination of Arango and Hernandez could be trouble. Considering the talent that should be on display, back the OVER 2.5 (+115).
