Bundesliga
Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich – Munich has won 3 and lost 2 of the last five vs. Frankfurt. Bayern have gone through many changes during the summer transfer window. Out went star striker Robert Lewandowski and in came the likes of Sadio Mane, Matthijs de Ligt, Ryan Gravenberch, Noussair Mazraoui and young striker Mathys Tel.
Eintracht Frankfurt hope to enjoy a much better season than the 2021-22 campaign. They have strengthened over the courses of the transfer window with Jens Petter Hauge, Lucas Alario, Kristijan Jakic, Hrvoje Smolcic and World Cup-winner Mario Gotze coming in.
We do see Munich as the heavy favorite here -200, the biggest favorite week 1 of Bundesliga, Munich is my pick here but at -200 I would look for another big favorite to parlay them into a single unit play.
France Ligue 1
Lyon vs. AC Ajaccio – Once again we have one of the top teams in the league yet they have only won 3 and lost 2 in the last 5 vs AC Ajaccio. However the last 16 we have 11 wins 3 draws and the 2 wins for Ajaccio have been away from Lyon where this game is played.
Lyon are unbeaten in their 13 Ligue 1 home games against Ajaccio (W12 D1), scoring in each of those 13 matches (31 goals in total). ACA are both the team OL have hosted the most without ever losing, and always scored against in the top-flight.
Lyon are unbeaten in their last 18 opening games in Ligue 1 (W14 D4), after being winless in their previous 16.
30 goals have been scored in Lyon’s last five home games in Ligue 1
At -280 while Lyon should win you may want to pick another favorite and parlay them into a single unit.
Belgium First Division A
A good pick to parlay with your other favorites Club Brugge they play Zulte-Waregem who they have beat 5 in a row and shut out in all five for a combined 20-0 the last five matchups. A -435 favorite.
Portuguese Liga
Another huge favorite you can most likely parlay with the others Benfica they play Arouca who they have beat five in a row as well, (2-0,2-0, 3-0, 2-1,3-1). They are a huge -575 favorite.
Ways to wager the favorites :
| Parlay (4 Picks) +194 Club Brugge -435 -575 Benfica Lyon -280 Bayern Munich -200 | Parlay (3 Picks) -104 Club Brugge -435 Benfica -575 Lyon -280 | Parlay (3 Picks) +117 Club Brugge -435 Benfica -575 Bayern Munich -200 | Parlay (5 Picks) -119 Over 1.5 1.5 (-380) Club Brugge Over 0.5 0.5 (-1800) Benfica Over 0.5 (-1200) Lyon Over 0.5 (-1600) Bayern Munich Over 0.5 0.5 (-500) Arsenal |
The reason you want to go ahead and parlay the heavy favorite is that at those odds if one loses you will be behind where as at these rates here you have a four pick paying +194, a 3 pick at -104, a 3 pick at +117 or you can play the team total parlay at Bovada and most online books, I’m not sure if the ticket window at your local casino or Las Vegas will give you that particular Team Total parlay.
If your able to watch the games you may want to check out my strategies section for a soccer live betting strategy. On the Live Bet strategy the reason you play the combined over is that say your team is behind 1-0 and you were looking at their team total instead of the combined but you often see a counter attack goal after a team pushes too far in a failed attempt to score leading to the team with the lead scoring from the counter attack.
As Always Best of Luck and Enjoy your soccer or football whatever you call it.
