Gonna take a swing at this one today 😁—he's basically under fire right now and needs a win somewhere... and where better than a massive rivalry game? 😁
San Lorenzo vs. Atlanta United | ML 1 @ 1.65, F+2 @ 2.70 (3-1)
It’s a massive rivalry game—and even if Atlanta United's current form or league standing doesn't scream it—I’m still leaning toward the home side. They’ve absolutely dominated this matchup at home lately, winning the last two head-to-heads by the exact same score (3-0). Expect them to keep that streak alive and carry their early-season momentum through. I'm looking to play this on a system bet and grab the F+2 as well.
Bilbao’s on fire right now—three wins in a row. They even took down the reigning champs, Real Madrid, last week. Heading into Celta's place today, I think they walk away with another three points. Honestly, looking at Aduriz, he's due for a goal given how hot he is lately. He’s already bagged three in his last four league games.
Home side was absolute fire at the start of the season—then they hit a bit of a slump. They’re sitting on three straight draws right now, and they desperately need this win to stay in the title hunt. They're trailing Lyon by 4 points at the top, so after three draws, it's high time they actually closed one out.
After the Knicks choked a 3-3 draw against the underdog squad—total disaster—the Red & White actually have a shot at cutting that gap down to just 4 points... Zvezda is hitting the road to face Niš, and those guys are fighting tooth and nail just to stay out of the basement this season... honestly, Niš has been pathetic at home—only one win all year, which was against some bottom-feeder team—plus three draws and four losses... their home goal differential is a messy 4:11... if the Red & White want any real shot at defending their championship title, they better walk away with a win here.
LA Galaxy vs. LAFC - Both teams to score @ 2.20 (0-1)
Luis Enrique’s squad is absolutely cooking right now—they're dead set on clinching the MLS Cup. Their last matchup ended in a 0-0 stalemate, but the Galaxy are the clear favorites here. That said, they actually have to show up and prove it against a tricky LAFC side. Since they've got a massive Champions League clash against Manchester City coming up this Wednesday, the coach might bench a few starters to keep them fresh—which is exactly why I think LAFC could sneak one in. As for the Galaxy's firepower? No brainer. That Messi-Suarez-Neymar trio is playing out of their minds, so there's really no point in overanalyzing that part. 😁
James Taylor3 said:Taking the handicap on Portland at @ 2.50 isn't a bad play—especially after watching that match between Seattle and Portland, where those underdogs had nearly 60% possession and actually outplayed Seattle right there in their own stadium. Seattle played like absolute garbage in that game—zero presence in midfield, zero threat up front, and a defense that looks completely lost. Plus, they’re missing key starters today, and Portland has been walking all over them lately at home.
Personally, I think Portland covering the handicap is a stretch... they don't have that one superstar striker anymore who can just hammer everything home. Realistically, if Portland wins by one, fine (maybe even a 2-1 scoreline), but my move here is just taking the over on total goals.
Robin Davis4 said:Anyone actually finding Champions League winner odds anywhere else besides DraftKings?
Check today's Champions League lines—look under the main market and other options, it'll list the winner right there. We're talking DraftKings here. 😁
Anyway, instead of making a whole separate thread, here’s my take on the Champions League
Shakhtar- Bayern Over 2.5 goals 2.40 (0-0)
Bayern is miles ahead of the Ukrainians—winning isn't even a question. Plus, because of the war situation back home, Shakhtar isn't even playing in Donetsk; they're stuck playing in Kyiv, which definitely isn't ideal for them. Regardless, Bayern is an offensive powerhouse, so there's no doubt we could see plenty of goals. This pick is a solid play.
Real Madrid vs Sevilla: both teams to score @ 1.70 (2-1)
The remaining Matchday 16 game in La Liga is happening at the Bernabeu between Real Madrid and Sevilla... definitely taking Both Teams to Score today. Real's attack is loaded—think Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema—but they’ll be missing Cristiano today since he’s serving a red card suspension. Sevilla is sitting pretty in 4th place right now, just 5 points off a direct Champions League spot. Plus, that squad from Andalusia can definitely snatch at least a point against this Real side, especially since they're missing their main engine in midfield Modric and Pepe is still out with an injury. In my book, BTTS is a safe bet here 🙂
Dortmund vs Augsburg: 1 @ 1.50 (0-1)
Jurgen Klopp's squad is playing way below expectations in the league lately, so every single match is critical. Borussia is a complete unit, and having Reus back from injury helps a ton—he's one of their core guys. Last round, Dortmund managed a 0-0 draw away at Leverkusen. I think it's finally time for Borussia to grab all 3 points and kickstart a winning streak to climb out of the bottom of the Bundesliga
Dordrecht - Heerenveen both teams to score in the 1st half, 4.10 @ SS (0-0)
Looking to hunt for an upset today... betting on these Dutch sides because they always seem to find the net 😁 their last matchup ended with a Dordrecht win, and this exact pairing I'm riding today hit 🙂 hoping for a repeat performance today 😁
The odds aren't out yet for this specific bet, but I'm definitely putting money down on CR7 finding the back of the net. Real Madrid is facing Valencia at Mestalla tomorrow—a massive derby where a win is huge if they want to pull four points ahead of Barcelona (who play Sociedad tonight). Last time Cristiano scored in an official match was against Almeria. You have to realize—he went scoreless during the Club World Cup, and there's no way a player of his caliber lets a three-game scoring drought happen. It just isn't happening.
Roma vs. Man City—both teams to score at 1.40. It’s a lock.
This match is basically just a formality—nothing really on the line here. After five rounds, Man City is sitting pretty at the top with 15 points, while Roma is trailing with 9. I’m eyeing the "both teams to score" market for one reason: Roma has been dropping four goals at home, and City has put up six on the road. I wouldn't be surprised if both sides find the back of the net tomorrow—it feels like an easy win. Last time these two met, the English side walked away with a 2-1 victory.
Chelsea vs. Sporting — Chelsea at 1.30 (6-0)
Another showdown between the younger squads. Chelsea is fighting Schalke for that top spot—they absolutely need this win. Sporting might go with a mixed lineup, so I see a massive opening for Chelsea to grab a crucial victory here.
Schalke -2 handicap at 1.50. Easy money.
The Canadians are a total punching bag in this tournament—they’ve surrendered 20 goals in just five rounds while only putting three in the net. It's pathetic. Schalke is looking just like Chelsea right now—hunting for that win—and they'll definitely roll out their strongest lineup from the jump to secure all three points. I'm banking on them covering the handicap. 😁
Dinamo vs HNK Rijeka: both teams to score 1.75 @SS (3-0)
Two sides playing aggressive football where a goal fest is basically expected today... Dinamo's defense is prone to making mistakes—no doubt about it—so I wouldn't be surprised if Andrej Kramarić finds his way into their net. Same goes for the Dinamo attack; they woke up last week against NK Istra 1961 and I don't see why they couldn't bag at least one goal, if not more.
Liverpool FC absolutely needs this win. Honestly, the Reds haven't looked great this season—not exactly looking stellar against Stoke City either. Both Brandon Rodgers and the squad have been getting hammered by the media lately; people are already calling for his head and acting like he’s already out the door. I wouldn't even be shocked if he actually loses his job if they don't pull this off today. On the bright side, their new signing Ricky Lambert has stepped up, bagging goals in the last two matches (against Crystal Palace and Ludogorets) and proving he can actually deliver. I'm expecting a Liverpool FC win by at least two goals—if you aren't feeling the handicap, just take the straight win 😁
Robin Anderson8 said:You totally missed the point—this is about politics.
Everyone needs to be in Sunset Valley tomorrow. Start getting people hyped for Monday when Dinamo Futsal hits the floor at the Lakers arena. Capacity is sitting around 4,500–4,800... we need this to be a massive spectacle, no excuses.🙂
If they open up the lower stands at the Lakers arena, we could easily pack in 6,000.
The home side—basically just some small-town outfit from the Midwest—got smoked 3-0 last time out, which cost their manager his job. Now they’re hosting Rijeka, who are playing lights out right now. Rijeka is looking to bounce back after that messy 2-2 draw against a team from Miami last week. Even if they have their heads partially in a matchup against Feyenoord in the Netherlands this Thursday, I'm betting they won't miss the chance to capitalize on Dinamo's slip-up. A win here puts them just 4 points behind the leaders.
