USA finally hit the turf for a real game last week at Wales. It had been a long time since the squad had been in a actual game and the rust was appearant, at least on the offensive side as they ended in a 0-0 draw with Wales. The last time these teams met was on June 26, 201 with the USA taking the game at home, 1-0. The last four games for Panama have resulted in either 1-0 contests, 0-0 against Guatamal or a 2-0 win over Guatamala. The USA had some chances to score against Wales, but couldn't finish them off, likely a result of such a long layoff. I expect the USA to get at least one goal today, but not really anything from Panama. Take the USA as they finally get on the scoreboard. USA -1, -1.16          

Marquee matchup here in the Champions League for Wednesday as Barcelona takes on Juventus. Looks like Juventus will be once again without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who is awaiting further testing after a positive Covid test. Both teams won their opening games of the Champions League. Barcelona will be without some key gogs here on defense today including Coutinho, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gerard Pique. Even without their superstar, Juventus has more talent up and down the lineup here. I'm going to take the Italian team in this one. Play Juventus.

EFL Championship play here on Wednesday as Nottingham takes on Luton Town. Luton won their last game, a 1-0 victory at Sheffield. Nottingham came away with a draw in their last contest 1-1 with Derby County. Luton will be without James Collins, forced to sitout with Covid positive test result. Nottingham is facing the real prospect of relegation as they sit just one-point above that line at present. These teams are fairly even, but for me I'm giving the edge here to the hosts. At +2.30 on the money line, the host is worth a play here today. Play Luton Town.

Premier League Champion Chelsea makes the road trip to Russia here today to take on Krasnodar in the Champions League play. Krasnodar finished third in their Russian Premier league last season. This year the host is just in 8th place as they off to a slow start. Krasnodar is coming off a 1-1 draw and now undefeated in their three Champions League games. Chelsea coming off a 0-0 draw against Manchester United. Five of their last seven games have resulted in draws. Their alignment against United was great at keeping Manchester off the board, but also blunted their own attack. Chelsea the big favorite here, but they have not played up to standards of late. I'm looking for a low scoring contest here on Wednesday. PLAY UNDER.

This was going to be a tough, close game anyways as Juventus and Dynamo Kiev meet here today in Kiev for the UEFA Champion's Leuge. But now it gets even tougher for this Juventus team. Juventus begins thier quest for a Champions League trophy without arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo has had to self isolate back in Itay after testing positive for Covid. This is bad news for Juventus as Kiev will give them all they can handle. This has changed the perspective on this contest for the total. What normally might be high scoring, looks to be low scoring now. Play UNDER

I like the spread on this game taking the half goal with Kiev and won't be surprised with a outright win by the hosts. Play Dynamo Kiev

UEFA Champion's League final here today and it's a good one with powerhouse Bayern Munich taking on Paris Saint Germain. For me, I've been a huge backer of this German squad all year and have played them at every occasion. PSG is very good and while I expect a closer match then most of the time for Bayern, I still won't deviate from playing a team that has made me money all season. In addition, you don't get Bayern at even money or a slight dog very often, so you better jump on it. I'm sticking with Bayern Munich here on Sunday.

One of the two finals here in the UEFA Europa Champion's League. This should be a great matchup as La Liga's Seville is no stranger to winning this Champion's League. They have done so all five times they have reached the finals with the last in 2016. But what I love here is the UNDER. These are both great defensive clubs. Sevilla has allowed just one goal in their last six matches. Not to be outdone. Inter Milan has conceded just one goal over their last seven. This is an easy pick for me, I'm taking UNDER 2 1/2 goals.

Semi-Final action here in the UEFA Champion's League as Paris Saint Germain takes on RB Leipzig. Leipzig beat Atletic Madrid late to secure their spot here in the Semis. PSG also got by Italian Series A powerhouse Atalanta to get here. The winner here will have the difficult task in the finals of meeting up with Bayern Munich. PSG showed in the 2nd half of their game against the Italians that they were the better team. And if we look who will be the better team to face Bayern, that will be Leipzig which didn't loser to Munich in their two matches that both ended in draws (0-0 and 1-1). This should be a great matchup, but for me, the edge goes to Germans. They played the better team and won in the quarterfinals and I believe they can give Bayern Munich a run for its money. Take RB Leipzig +1/2 goal (+120).

Semi Final action here on Sunday in the UEFA Europa League as Manchester United and Sevilla matchup. Sevilla has won five straight EUROPA matches as they face arguably their best opponent thus far in United. Sevilla is unbeaten in their last 19 games dating back to February. Manchester United has lost just once in their last 24 matches. Manchester has had the more difficult road to this point with tough matches compared to those of Sevilla. I expect a close, tough match here on Sunday. However, I feel Sevilla has more left in the tank at this point compared to Manchester United. Definitely a possible draw outcome here, but I like the 2-1 value I get with Sevilla on the money line. I'll take Sevilla in this one.

Winner of this match between Lyon and Manchester City will advance to the Semifinals of the Champion's League. Manchester City is coming off a win over La Liga Champion Real Madrid. Lyon upended Italian Series A champion, Juventus. The winner of this game has the unenviable task of taking on Bayern Munich next week. City finished second in the Premier league and exited at the semi-final stage in the FA Cup. City has now won six of their last seven overall matches. Most impressive is that they have allowed just four goals during those six games. Both these teams coming off impressive wins. Still, City has much more pedigree coming into this one then the French side does. Lyon finished 7th in Ligue 1 and had lost four consecutive matches from the end of the break to the start. I'm impressed most with the City defense. I'm taking this one to go UNDER.

Hard to find a better team these days then Bayern Munich. Munich has won every game since the restart and have won their last 18 overall matches. This looks to be the marquee matchup of the quarterfinals in the Champion's League. Barcelona finished five points back of La Liga Champion Real Madrid. However, they have not looked as sharp this year as in past seasons. Munich has also been a scoring machine, with 31 goals in their eight games. I'm really a bit shocked at the low price here on the best team. I'm not passing on this gift Take Bayern Munich.

The Winner of this match advances to the semi-finals of the Europa Championship. This is the second appearance every for Leipzig in the UEFA Champions league and here they are facing ATletico Madrid for their chance at the Semis. Madrid has an impressive resume coming in here, having beaten Liverpool 1-0 and 3-2 to advance to this spot. Liverpool was one of the favorites and they beat them. Leipzig's only loss in their last six games came to Dortmund, 0-2. These two teams are both in good form and very equal across the board. The only thing that separates them in my opinion is experience and that goes to Madrid. Madrid has been to the quarterfinals five times in the last seven seasons, while this is fairly new ground for Leipzig. Take Atelico Madrid.

This should be a wild game as the highest scoring team from the Italy Series A and French league's matchup here on Wednesday. Atalanta broke scoring records in Series A play with 96 goals. Paris Saint German (PSG) were Ligue 1 champions in a shortened season. The French champs have won their last five games. First ever meeting between these clubs today. PSG will be without some key players due to injuries and suspensions. I look for plenty of goals in this one. Take the OVER

Europa League Quarter-finals has Sevilla vs Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton Wanderers finished 7th in the English Premier league, their second season back at the top tier. They are coming off a win over Olympiakos, 1-0 to advance to today's contest. This is a defense first team and not very flashy in their style of play. Sevilla looked very good in their win over a very good Roma team, 2-0. This game looks to be a tough defensive battle today so I'll go UNDER.

UEFA Europa League action here on Monday has Bayern Leverkusen vs Inter Milan. Inter Milan comes into this game having won their round of 16 game over Getafe, 2-0. Milan finished second in the Series A league, just one point behind Champion Juventus. Milan extended their win streak to four and unbeaten streak to nine. Bayern plays in their first European quarterfinals since 2002. Bayern finished fifth in the Bundesliga league. Even though this game is being played on German soil, no fans pretty much negates that advantage. I'm taking Inter Milan here today.

Champions League action here on Friday has Manchester City hosting Real Madrid. Look for Madrid to put the pressure on City here as they need at least two scores to hope to advance. That will mean taking more chances which also will translate into counter attacks by City. Manchester City has also looked pretty flat against the better teams this year. For me, I like this game over as Madrid has to push the pace. Play OVER.

Last game for both of these teams as Series A comes to an end here on Sunday. Genoa still has something to play for as they hope to secure a spot in Series A and not rely on a loss by Lecce. Hellas Verona coming off a shutout win over SPAL 3-0. They are now 4 wins, 5 loss and 8 draws in their last 17 Series A matches. Genoa coming off a 0-5 drubbing at the hands of Sassuolo. Relegation is a possibility for Genoa so why put that into the hands of another game. Easier said then done I'm affraid. Genoa has been in terrible form and while they are in a must win, Verona is not and I don't like to put a bad team in a must win. Take Hellas Verona.

Juventus has locked-up another Series A title. Now they hope to continue their dominance at home where they have won 16 games this year and two draws with no losses. Juve has arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. However, he's behind Ciro Immobile in goals 31-35. My issue with Juve here is that they are in cruise control since winning the title. They have won just twice in their last seven games. They are coming off a loss to Cagliari, 0-2. Still, this team hasn't lost on home soil in 39 straight Series A matches. Roma is stuck in 5th place and that means no Champion's league spot since they trail 4th place Lazio by 11 points with just one game to play. Roma has played well, winning six of their last seven with a draw. Nothing on the line here for either team, but Juve would like to keep that home winning streak. I'll take the home team here on Saturday. Play Juventus

The English Championship Semi-Finals continue here as Cardiff and Fulham meet again. Fulham won the first leg of this playoff semi with a 2-0 shutout over Cardiff. Cardiff has done well on the road, winning four of the last five. Fulham has done well at home too, third best in the Championship. Fulham has taken the last two meetings at home over Cardiff. Tough spot here for the visitor having to rebound after a home loss to the same team. I don't expect much other income than we saw recently and that's a Fulham shutout again. Take Fulham - 1/2 goal.

Torino coming off a 1-1 draw to the worst team in Series A, SPAL. Roma coming off a win over Fiorentina, 2-1 and now sit fifth in the table. They are battling with Napoli and Milan for that fifth spot in the table. Roma has been in fine form with 5 wins and 1 draw in their last six games.  Torino has been very dependent on star player Andrea Belotti to get them goals. Roma shuts down Belotti and they win this one easily. Roma has won 15 of the 24 matches with Torino. Take Roma -1 goal.

AC Milan still fighting for a spot in the Europa League so don't expect any letdown today as they play at Sampdoria. Milan are fighting with Napoli and AS Roma for that fifth place in the Series A table. Sampdoria not having a good season as it sits 15th in the table. They have also lost their last two matches while Milan is undefeated in their last five. Take Milan -1 goal here on Wednesday.

20th place SPAL travels to play at 9th place Hellas Verona here on Wednesday. SPAL has won just three of their last 18 away games. Verona got pummeled last time out, losing 1-5 to Lazio. SPAL will be missing a lot of players here with Bonifazi suspended and five others missing due to injury. Neither team is very good, but SPAL has only 20 points out of a possible 108 this year. I'll take the home team in this one.

Inter Milan hosting its last game of the summer here on home turf. They face a Napoli team that is coming off a 2-0 win over Sassulo. However, Napoli got quite lucky as four Sassulo goals were overturned via VAR due to offsides. Milan beat Genoa over the weekend 3-0 and have secured a Champion's league return. Napoli has struggled on the road, collecting just four points in their last four Series A road games. Milan sits in second place in the table, just one point ahead of third place Atalanta (who is also in action today). Milan is also undefeated in their last six Series A contests. There should be plenty of goals in this game, but I'm backing the home club here. Play Inter Milan - 1/2 goals.

Semifinals of the England Championship League here on Monday has Fulham playing at Cardiff. Both teams looking to get back into the Premier league and this is the starting point. A win today pushes one team a step closer to the Premier league. Both teams in good form with Fullham not having lost in their last seven matches. Cardiff has been decent too with a 4-2-0 record their last six matches. These teams have been scoring well too, especially when they meet. These teams are both healthy and both evenly matched. Too close to call a winner here, but I look for both clubs to score and get over this total. Play OVER.

Italy Series A action here on Sunday has Sampdoria at Juventus. Juventus looks to rebound after a tough loss to Udinese, 1-2. The season is winding down for Juventus as they look for another Series A title. Juventus boasts the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo. Juventus has not been all that good of late, going 1-4 in their last five games. Sampdoria is clear of relegation and good thing as they haven't fared well vs the top teams in the table. Still Juventus needs to improve on their recent form here today. Play Juventus -1 1/2 goals.

 Roma has seen good scoring in their games, evidenced by going over 2.5 goals in each of their last six Series A matches. They have also scored at least two goals in those matches. They will need to score and often here against a Fiorentina squad that are undefeated in their last six Series A matches. Roma can take solid hold of sixth place in the table with a win here on Sunday. Fiorentina has nothing to really play for as they are stuck at the bottom. If the visitor had anything to play for I'd likely be on the over here. However, with little on the line, I'm taking Roma -1 goal.

This is what I call a matchup of the penthouse vs the outhouse. Inter Milan can win it's third game in the last five as they play at Genoa here on Saturday. Inter Milan at the top of the Series A table, while Genoa at the bottom. Milan needs a win here to jump into 2nd and keep Atalanta at bay. Genoa could be in for a letdown here today as they com off a big win over Sampdoria. They are one point above the relegation line. Milan beat Genoa last time they met, 4-0. Milan just has a bit too much for the home team here on Saturday. I look for a Milan clean sheet in this one as they cover the -1 goal. take Milan -1 goal.

Final day of the England Championship league here and the stakes are high for West Brom. West Brom can ensure automatic promotion with a win over visiting Queens Park Rangers (QPR) here on Wednesday. QPR is 14th in the table and has nothing to play for here on the last day. With so much on the line here for the home club I look for a West Brom WIN! Play West Brom on the goal line - 1 1/2 goals

Last day of the season for these teams as Swansea City takes on Reading. Swansea coming off a win over Bristol City, 1-0. Yet, they still face a must win here on Thursday to keep their promotion hopes alive. Not much for Reading to play for here after back-to-back losses to Middlesbrough and Blackburn. They are stuck in the middle of the table and that's where they will stay. Swansea has won six of the last 10 matches with Reading with four of them ending in a draw. Much more at stake here for the visitor. I'm taking Swansea City.

Last day of the England Championship league here on Wednesday as Barnsley takes on Brentford. Brentford looking for automatic promotion with a win here today. Also here today Brentford playing their last home game at this site, someplace they have played for 116 years before moving next season. Brentford won the last meeting between these clubs, 3-1. Brentford is the leading scoring team in the league with 79 goals. They also have three players in the top 10 in scoring. Take Brentford here on Wednesday - 1 1/2 goals.

Also here today Brentford playing their last home game at this site, someplace they have played for 116 years before moving next season. Brentford won the last meeting between these clubs, 3-1. Brentford is the leading scoring team in the league with 79 goals. They also have three players in the top 10 in scoring. Just a 2 1/2 total on this one with the highest scoring team in the league. Looks like an over to me here on Wednesday. 

Two of the hotter Series A teams meet here on Tuesday as AS Milan take on Sassuolo. Sassuolo finally lost in a 1-4 contest to Atalanta after going on a run of eight games without a loss (4 wins, 4 draws). They still trail today's opponent, Milan, by eight points with four games to play. Milan has also been very good, not losing in their last eight matches. Biggest difference is that Milan has dominated this series, winning five of the last seven matches with Sassuolo. They have not lost to the host since 2016. Too much on the side of Milan here on Tuesday. I look for a easy win by the visitors. Play AC Milan on the money line.

With both teams in good form I look for a lot of goals in this contest. Take the OVER.

High scoring Atalanta is coming off a lackluster performance against Verona in a 1-1 draw. They can still finish the Series A season in the top two, but that requires winning and now drawing. Meanwhile, Bologna is coming off a blowout loss to Milan, 1-5. They have now lost four straight games. Their shaky defense will be put to the test here today against this very good Atalanta offense. Last time these clubs met it was a 4-1 Atalanta win and that's pretty much what I expect again here today. Take Atalanta on the goal line.

A win here on Monday by Juventus should just about put the finishing touches on another Series A title. Meanwhile, any chances Lazio has of a Series A title really rest on a win here today. Juventus leads Lazio by seven points in the table. Though they have drawn their last two games and lost three games ago. They look for their first win in the last four. Same for Lazio, they have a draw and three losses in their last four matches. Problem here today for Lazio is they will be without some key players and are showing some fatigue down the stretch. I'm taking the home team here as they just about put the finishing touches on a Series A Title. Take Juventus.

The Lazio defense has also struggled of late and I don't expect it to get any better here on Monday against the high powered Juventus club.  I expect at least three goals in this contest so take the OVER.

Inter Milan still has a chance of catching table leader Juventus at the top of Series A, but it's a long shot. Sunday they play at 5th place Roma. Milan tails Juventus by six points. Roma is 23-10 in Series A and has won each of their last three league matches. Their most recent win came over Verona, 2-1 last Wednesday. Milan coming off a shutout win over SPAL, 4-0 last Thursday. Roma is a good enough team here to stay in this contest and if we take them plus the half goal we can draw and still win. Take Roma +1/2 goal.

Udinese looks to put some distance between themselves and that dreaded relegation line as they travel to Stadio San Paolo today for a match with Napoli. The visitors have just one win in their last four matches and stand just two spots above that relegation line. Meanwhile, Napoli has not lost at home in their last seven matches. Though they did play to a 2-2 draw in their last match against AC Milan. Napoli has scored at least two goals in each of their last six home Series A matches. This is the spot for Napoli to get off that two draw string they have had lately and get some momentum back under themselves. Take OVER 2 1/2 goals

This is the spot for Napoli to get off that two draw string they have had lately and get some momentum back under themselves. Take Napoli -1 goal.

AC Milan has had their way with the visitors, winning seven of the last eight matches with Bologna. Milan has also been very good at scoring goals, with at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches. They have also gone over in 2.5 goals in their last five Series A matches. Bologna has not been  bad at scoring either, with at least two goals in five of their last six Series A away contests. Milan coming off a 3-1 home win over Parma. Meanwhile, Bologna had a draw in midweek with Napoli. I like the home team in this one. Take AC Milan -1 goal.

Meanwhile, Bologna had a draw in midweek with Napoli. Take the OVER here on Saturday.

Hellas Verona looks to get back on the winning track here on Saturday after four straight losses. Won't be easy against the high scoring Atalanta club here. The visitor has moved into 2nd place in the table. With five games to play Atalanta trails first place Juventus by seven points. Meanwhile, Verona sits ninth in the table, but could finish as good as sixth place. Atalanta is coming off a six goal performance over Brescia. I look for another Atalanta blowout here on Saturday. Take Atalanta -1.5

Huddersfield has been on a bad run here lately, not having scored now in four straight games. Now the team looks to avoid relegation as they host West Brom here on Friday. They currently sit in 20th spot in the table. West Brom is coming off a scoreless draw with Fulham last Tuesday. With two games left, today at Huddersfield and then against the Queens Park Rangers, the Baggie's destiny is fully in their hands to guarantee promotion. Both sides need the three points here but for opposite ends of the table. West Brom has the much better team and I expect a fifth straight shutout for Huddersfield here today. Take West Bromwich Albion.

Inter Milan has moved into second place in the Italy Series A table. Their strong play should continue here on Thursday as they build momentum as the league comes to the end. They shouldn't get much push back from SPAL here on Thursday. SPAL is the worst team in Series A. The offense isn't good as SPAL has failed to score a goal in each of their last three matches. Milan has gone over 2.5 goals in each of its last seven matches. SPAL has gone over 2.5 goals in each of their last five Series A home games, despite a bad offense. I'm taking the OVER here on Thursday, even though I don't expect a SPAL goal. Their defense is so bad that Milan should get this one over by itself. Play OVER.

I look for a Inter Milan easy win here on Thursday. Play Inter Milan on the goal line -1 1/2 goals.

Spain La Liga action here on Thursday as Sevilla takes on Real Sociedad. Sevilla has secured a Champions League spot and have their sights set on third place in the table. Real Sociedad are battling for a spot in the Europa League qualification and hold onto 8th place. Sevilla has played well on the road, winning 50% of their away games in the league. Only one team has more away points this year than Sevilla. The club has also won four straight overall. Sevilla will be with out their top goaltender as Tomas Vaclik will sit out due to a suspension. Not a lot of incentive here for the visitors as they have pretty much locked-up their spot. Add to that their top goalie sidelined and I'll take the home team in this one. Play Real Sociedad.

AC Milan coming off a draw vs Naples, though they had to fight back to get that draw and look outplayed in that match. Parma also came back vs Bologna to grab a point in their match. Parma has gone over 2.5 goals in their last Series A matches. Milan has scored at least two goals in their last six Series A matches. That bodes well for the host here as Parma has conceded at least two goals in each of their last five Series A matches and failed to win all five of those contests. I'm taking the host here today. Play AC Milan.

That bodes well for the host here as Parma has conceded at least two goals in each of their last five Series A matches and failed to win all five of those contests. This contest looks to have scores by both clubs and for me, that puts me on the OVER here. Play OVER.

English Premier league action here on Wednesday as Bournemouth plays Manchester City. City has taken the last four against Bournemouth on their home court. They last met in 2019 and City took that meeting too, 3-1. City is in 2nd place in the table with 57 points, though they are coming off a loss to Manchester United, 0-2. Bournemouth is in 18th place in the table. They lost their last match against Liverpool, 1-2. This one comes down to matchup. City has won the last nine Premier League games against Bournemouth by a 28-4 margin. Price a bit high for the home side here so I'll be on the OVER.

Luton Town coming off a big win last time out over Huddersfield, 2-0. That win has kept them alive to stay out of the relegation zone with two points of safety net now on their side. Queens Park Rangers (QPR) have now lost five of their last six games. A big win here on Tuesday will further push Luton Town out of that relegation zone. However, they are also 0-4 in their last four at home. For me, I'm looking at this game to go OVER since we are dealing with two lower echelon teams here in the league. I expect at least three goals in this contest and the total is 2 1/2. Play the OVER.

Spain La Liga action here on Monday has Real Madrid playing at Granada. Real Madrid has had little issue against Granada, winning their last nine matches with them in all leagues. The Madrid defense has also been very good, with a clean sheet in their last five La Liga matches. They have also been under 2.5 goals in their last five La Liga matches. Granada has been in good form of late, losing just one of their last five La Liga matches. Even with Granada playing well, Madrid has just bee too good. I'm taking the visitor in this one. Play Real Madrid.

English Premier action here on Monday has Southampton playing at Manchester United. United looks to grab third place in the Premier league. Southampton will try and put a road block in plans as they look to move closer to eighth place in the league. United has scored at least three goals in each of their last four matches. They have also gone over 2.5 goals in their last four Premier league games. Southampton is playing well of late, but United should get the win here on Monday. That being said, I'm going with the over in this one as both teams get on the board. Play over.

It was a 3-0 Saturday, capped by our Italy Series A Game of the Month winner, a 3-0 shutout by Roma. That makes seven winners in a row and 10-3 the last 13. Sunday, Jim has his sights set on another big Total Annihlator winner after winning both totals on Saturday. Join a Vegas veteran with over 48-years of winning experience and WIN with JIM here on Sunday in Soccer. 

Two of the top form teams in the Italy Series A league matchup here as AC Milan takes on Napoli. AC Milan is coming off a big win over leader Juventus. Milan trailed the Series A league leaders 0-2 before Milan ran off four quick 2nd half goals in short concession to beat the table toppers. Today, Milan takes on Napoli. Napoli has won seven of their last eight matches in Series A and lead Milan by two points. It's been a very nice run for Milan as they can still finish fifth in the league. Milan looks to be the play here, though both have been in fine form. I'm backing Milan on the Spread + 1/2 Sunday. Take AC Milan.

I have to admit, I keep looking for these Atalanta matches to go over and recently they have been going under. That is because this Atalanta team has four straight clean sheets. Sure, they have been scoring, they are one of the highest scoring teams in the Italy Series A league. However, their defense has been keeping the games under. I don't see that here today against one of the best in Series A in Juventus. Juventus would like to forget their last game. They led 2-0 midway through the 2nd half against AC Milan. Then the wheels came off as they allowed four unanswered goals to Milan in a very short time frame. Still Juventus tops the league and now faces third place Atalanta. I don't expect another clean sheet here from the visitor and with that I look for both clubs to score more than enough to get this game over. Play OVER.

English Premier League action here on Saturday has Manchester City taking on Brighton & Hove Albion. Manchester City looks to improve their road play, something that has not been good this year. City has won 17 matches by three or more goals in all leagues and nine matches by four or more goals. So this is a top tier team. They are coming off a blowout win over Newcastle United, 5-0. Yet, seven of their nine losses this year have come on the road, including three straight. Brighton has lost back-to-back home games. The Seagulls are trying to keep from that regulation line. This game should have plenty of goals from a high scoring City club and a Brighton team that hasn't been all that bad this year. I expect at least four goals in this one. Take the OVER.

Italian Series A league match here as Roma takes on Brescia. Brescia has had a rough go of it, failing to win in 15 of their last 16 matches. Big difference here in quality of teams. Brescia has an inexperienced team. They are placed deep into the regulation zone and allow the 2nd most goals in the league. On the other hand you have Roma, one of the best teams in Series A. And with Napoli and AC Milan nipping at their heals, they need an easy win here on Saturday. I look for a blowout Roma win in this one.

Aston Villa still looking to stay out of regulation as they sit four points from the line. They are desperately need a win here on Thursday. Meanwhile Manchester United has seen a surge since the return and now sit just one point behind fourth place Leceister City. The Reds are now undefeated in their last 16 overall matches. As for me, I'm sticking with the OVER here in this one. Play OVER.

Italian Series A action here on Wednesday. The best team in this league is Atalanta. Not only do they score the most goals, but lately their defense has been amazing with two clean sheets in their last two games. That makes playing them here today on the Spread line pretty easy for me. I'm getting arguably the best team in this league along with a very good defensive team. I'm going to lay the goal and a half here and take the small plus money. Play Atalanta -1 1/2 goals.

Manchester City could be accused of having a letdown after a 4-0 thrashing of Premier league champion Liverpool. In their next outing they lost as a big favorite to Southhampton. They will look to get back to their winning ways here on Wednesday vs Newcastle United. Newcastle comes into today's contest unbeaten in their last seven matches. Manchester returns home where they are unbeaten int heir last 15 league games. Moreover, in their last four home games they have a total score of 14-0. Newcastle has been hot of late, winning three in a row and scoring 10 goals over their last four Premier league games. I like Manchester to bounce back here at home after that disappointing loss to Southampton. I'm taking the OVER here.

Normal rest not a thing during this restart. Case in point is Arsenal, which plays on just three days rest. Leicester has been very good since the restart, especially on defense. It's on offense they have struggled a bit. Before the break, they had averaged 1.8 goals per game compared to just 1.6 since the restart. Defense has been about the same, allowing 1.3 goals per game. Arsenal has gone from the 13th best defense to now the 8th best. Defense is where Arsenal has improved greatly since th break. That being said, we have two very good defensive clubs here today. I'm going to take UNDER 2 1/2 goals in this one and take the small dog price of +1.05. Play UNDER

Southhampton has looked good from the return, winning two of their three games. Even though they hit that 40-point threshold, a win would all but guarantee their safety in the Premier League. Manchester City is coming off that big win over Premier Champions Liverpool last Thursday, 4-0. However, in all fairness, Liverpool was hungover from their celebration of winning the Premier League Championship. Manchester just caught them at the right time. Still, City is a quality team and that should show here today. I look for more goals in this one like their last game. I'm taking the OVER.

Atalanta is the best team in Series A Italian soccer. They are also the highest scoring team. I did take a loss on their game over last time out as they won 2-0. In fact, that game was 0-0 at the half and Atalanta came out in the 2nd half and scored two quick goals and we still had a shot at the over with nearly 30 minutes left to play. Just wasn't in the cards though. I'm coming right back here on Sunday and taking them over again. This team is too good and scores too many goals to be content with just two goals they had last time out. Play the OVER.

Liverpool has the league title all wrapped up and it showed in their last game on Thursday, losing to Manchester United 0-4. They had a championship hangover. Today, expect their top players to be rested as we see fresh faces in this one for Liverpool. As for Aston Villa, they are still playing for their lives so they have a lot on line. That being said, playing the spread here of +1 1/2 goals is just too much for me to pass on with a Liverpool team that has little interest in this contest. Play Aston Villa +1 1/2 goals.

Chelsea has been a very good over play at home, where they have scored at least three goals in seven of their last eight at home vs Watford. Chelsea has also scored at least two goals in their last six Premier League games. Chelsea needs a win here to stay in the league's top four. Watford has not looked good since returning from the break. I look for Chelsea to get plenty of goals here and maybe get this one over by themselves. Play OVER.

Chelsea has been a very good over play at home, where they have scored at least three goals in seven of their last eight at home vs Watford. Chelsea has also scored at least two goals in their last six Premier League games. Chelsea needs a win here to stay in the league's top four. Watford has not looked good since returning from the break. I look for Chelsea to get plenty of goals here and maybe get this one. Play Chelsea on the Goal Line -1 goal -1.31.

Doesn't take a lot for me to pull the trigger on the over when Bayern Muchich is concerned. This team is very high scoring and they can get totals over by themselves. Leverkusen is no slouch, as both teams has scored at least two goals in nine of their last 10 games. Leverkusen with at least two goals in each of the last three games. This one has all the makings of shootout here on Saturday. Play OVER.

Lecce has been a good over team, with their games going over 2.5 goals in each of their last nine matches. Sassuolo has also been high scoring at home, with their totals going over 2.5 in 13 of the last 14 on their own pitch. They have also scored at least three goals in each of their last Series A matches. Lecce's defense has allowed at least two goals in their last 6 Series A matches. Lecce has had a horrible defense. I'm expecting plenty of goals in this one. Play over.

English Championship action here on Saturday has Millwall taking on Charlton. Charlton has been very good since the restart, with six points. The Addicks haven't lost and haven't allowed a goal since they returned. They are coming off a draw with Cardiff City, 0-0. Millwall has not looked good since coming back from their break. They have just three points and have yet to win a game. The Lions have only lost once though, that coming to Derby County. They also have draws to Barnsley 0-0 and to Swansea City 1-1. Charlton will look to do something here they haven't done since 1996 and that's beat Millwall. In their 11 meetings since, Millwall has six wins and five matches have ended in a draw. Not too often I play teams to draw, but this looks like the matchup to do just that. Play DRAW.

Italy Series A matchup here on Thursday as Udinese takes on Roma. Roma was all pumped up following their big win over Sampdoria, but that was short lived as they then lost to Milan, 0-2. That loss ended a three-game win streak by the Giallorossi. Now their chances of a Championship league bid has been hurt. Udinese is also coming off a loss at home to Zebrette, 2-3. Roma's defense has not been good since returning, allowing both opponents three goals. Home has been good to Roma in this matchup, winning 10 of the previous 11 matchups with Udinese. Home is big in this matchup and with that being said I look for Roma to take tis game. Play Roma here on the goal line. 

Big day in the German Bundesliga league here as the first leg of the relegation playoff. Bermen will have to play this match without their key defender in Kevin Vogt, who has been suspended for this match. These teams met earlier in the season and it was Bremen that came out on top, 4-1. Both these teams have an important match here and both can score and have suspect defenses. For me, that's an equation for a good OVER. Play OVER. 

Italian Series A action here on Thursday has Napoli taking on Atalanta. Atalanta hosts this game and has been tough at home, going unbeaten in their last eight matches in Series A. In addition, they have scored at least two goals in each of their last eight league matches. No team has more goals this season than Atalanta. Napoli is holding onto the last European qualifying spot in Series A. In their last contest they beat SPAL, 3-1. It was the fourth game in a row that Napoli has recorded at least two goals. Both these teams have been scoring and I look for that here on Thursday. Take the OVER.

This game has utmost importance to both teams this week. No, not for first place, but to stay above the relegation line. Both these teams are straddling that line right now with the loser coming out on the possible relegation end of the stick. Both these defenses are poor and therefore this one could be a shootout. That is even more evident when you consider 10 of the last 11 meetings have had at least three goals scored. Sampdoria has the edge thought for me as they have won 12 of the last 15 matches with Lecce. In addition, they have won four straight matches at this stadium. I heavily favor Sampdoria in this one.

Sampdoria has the edge thought for me as they have won 12 of the last 15 matches with Lecce. In addition, they have won four straight matches at this stadium. With a posted total of 2.75 or 3, that seems like a bargain over play for me. Take OVER.

Italian series A league action here on Wednesday has Brescia taking on Inter Milan. Inter Milan has not lost in its last four games and now faces one of the worst teams in Series A. Since returning from their break, Inter Milan has won two and one draw, coming off a win over Parma 2-1. Brescia is at the bottom of the table and facing relegation. Brescia has a pair of draws since returning to action. Inter Milan has lost just once in their last 11 Series A matches vs Brescia. With Brescia fighting for survival I expect a better effort here today. With that in mind I expect at least three goals in this contest. I'm taking the OVER.

Norwich is the bottom team in the league and face relegation if they don't start putting some points on the board. Arsenal sure didn't look good after returning from the virus break with two consecutive losses. In one contest, vs Manchester City, they failed to even put a shot on goal. Things have turned around thought for Arsenal lately as they have beaten Southhampton and Sheffield United. Now they take on the bottom team in the league in Norwich City. Norwich has lost 20 of 31 and have the league's worst defense. They have allowed 56 goals and also average a league worst, 25 goals. I look for an easy Arsenal win here today as they score at least 3-goals. If we can get just one out of Norwich then we get an over. However, I won't be surprised if Arsenal takes this one over by themselves. Price to steep to lay with Arsenal, so take the OVER.

Italian Series A play here on Tuesday has Juventus taking on Genoa. Jeventus leads the league right now, now 7 points ahead of second place Lazio. They are also coming off a win over Lecce, 4-0. Genoa is coming off a loss to Parma, 1-4. Last time these teams met Jeventus won 2-1 at Turin. Jeventus has a big advantage in this matchup, having 18 wins in their last 28 meetings with six draws. Low total here at 2 1/2 and I look for Jeventus to get this one over by themselves. They are far and above the better team and while Genoa might not light the scoreboard, I believe we should get three or more out of Jeventus. Take the OVER. 

Leeds United looks poised to return to the Premier League as they continue to push forward as they are tops in the table by three-points. They are coming off a home win over Fulham, 3-0. Not such good news for Luton, who has been at the bottom of the table for some time now. They have the league's worst defense with 72 goals allowed. This should be an easy win for Leeds today, but of course at these prices we can't play them. We can play the total though and I expect Leeds to get plenty in this one. Take Leads on the Spread line at -1 1/2 goals and -105. 

Both of these teams are much improved. Reading is very consistent and Brentford has been on a upgrade since last season. Brentford has moved from 21st last year to third this year. They have also gone a four game unbeaten streak. Brentford also the highest scoring team this season. The Bees are also very good defensive team. I'm pretty high on Brenford. With their very good offense and defense are one of the best rounded teams and no wonder they have moved up so far this year. Take Brentford.

Turkey League action here on Monday in Soccer. Kasimpasa brings a four game winning streak into this contest. The Apaches might be the best team in the league right now. They are also unbeaten in their last six games with one draw. Meanwhile, Genclerbirligi is coming off a 0-2 loss. They are 1 win, 3 losses and one draw int heir last five games. The Genclerbirligi Youth are just that, a young team moving up in class. I look for Kasimpasa to handle them quite easily. I'm taking both Kasimpasa in this one.

The Genclerbirligi Youth are just that, a young team moving up in class. I look for Kasimpasa to handle them quite easily. I expect Kasimpasa to score in this one, but on the road they could get some pushback and therefore I'm taking the over.

Portugal Primiera Liga action here on Monday. Desportivo Aves coming off a 0-3 defeat at Gil Vicente. Before that, they had a draw at home vs Porto. The club has had trouble putting the ball in the back of the net. They have just 11 goals in 14 home games. Meanwhile, they have conceded 21 goals. Moreirense has 13 points in their 14 away games. They have 2 wins, 5 losses and 7 draws. They are coming off a 1-1 draw at home vs Famalicao. In 14 away games they have 16 goals and 18 allowed. Niether team is great, but Desportivo Aves not playing well at home. I'm taking Moreirense here in this one.

Napoli has been a high streak, not only winning the Coppa Italia but starting with a win over Hellas Verona in their first game back. If we look at Napoli's last six Series A matches, they have five wins against just one loss. Not such good news for SPAL, who has just one win to go with five losses in their last six Series A matches. The last seven matches between these teams has resulted in five wins for Napoli and two draws. While I can't lay the price here with Napoli, I do expect them to get their share of goals and don't be surprised if they get over the total by themselves in this one. Play OVER.

FA Cup action here on Sunday has Arsenal vs Sheffield United. Arsenal snapped a 2-game losing streak with a win last time out over Southhampton, 2-0-. Sheffield United hasn't done well since the league restart, losing both its games 3-0 to go with a 0-0 draw to Aston Villa. United has really not looked good at all since the restart, failing to score a goal in all three matches. The Arsenal Gunners look to have all the edges in this one here on Sunday and that's who I will be on. Play Arsenal.

One thing that has been evident as the Premier League has returned to action after a 3-month virus break is that there is player fatigue. We've seen a lot of this already as substitutions has been more frequent as players seem to be losing their legs earlier. That's understandable though. It will take some games to get those "game legs" back under them.  That being said, we have two excellent teams here on Thursday as Manchester City takes on Chelsea. Both teams are solid and in these early games I'm looking for action that will be played closer to the vest and more defensively. Therefore, I'm taking the UNDER here on Thursday. 

Liverpool is close to something that haven't done in over 30 years, that is sealing a Premier League Title.  The Reds are just five points away from doing just that as they host Crystal Palace here on Wednesday. The Crystal Palace Eagles are looking at their best Premeier season ever also here this season. The Eagles are coming off a 2-0 win over Bournemouth last time out. This will be the first Liverpool hosted Premier league game at Anfield since 2017. Liverpool looked very rusty in their 0-0 draw last game and in a return to league play. The Reds also had a few players that needed to be withdrawn early due to fatigue. I'm usually a big fan of Liverpool scoring and overs, but since they are still looking to get their game legs and Crystal Palace will be no pushover here, I'm going to play UNDER in this one. 

Tottenham Spurs plays host today to West Ham. Lucas Moura and Dele Alli will be back in the lineup today for Tottenham. West Ham will have to continue play without Sebastien Haller and Robert Snodgrass. West Ham has won just one of the last 10 league games with two draws on the road. That makes them second from the last in fewer away points this year. Should be a lower scoring game, but the troubles that West Ham has had on the road are too much for me to get past. I'll take a shot here with the Spurs. Play Tottenham. 

English Premier league action is back and with that Jim Feist's favorite soccer league. Here on Saturday Jim will look at Leicester City against Watford. These teams last met back on December 4 with Leicester coming out on top, 2-0. In fact, of the last nine times these teams have met, none have resulted in a draw. Watford does has something to hang their hat on, a 3-0 home win before the virus break over Liverpool. The Hornets now take on Leicester City. Leicester City can still make the Champions League and that's important to this club. As for the Hornets, they face being relegated as the season moves on. With Leicester taking seven of the previous 10 games vs Watford and a Champions League spot on the line, I'll take them as a small dog here on Saturday.

 Real Madrid fighting it out with Barcelona for the Spain La Liga title. This race looks to come down to the wire. Madrid has lost two of their last five matches in the Spain La Liga, with both those losses coming on the road. Madrid should have no problems here today on their home turf, a site they have not lost at this year in the La Liga. Meanwhile, Valencia has jus tone win in their last five matches and are coming off a 1-1 contest at home vs Levante. Madrid has won four of the last five in this matchup. The last meeting between these clubs was a 3-1 Madrid win. Both teams should score in this game. I'm looking for the host to pave the way and if we can get one goal out of the visitor, this game should go over. Play the OVER.

Bayer Leverkusen looks to try and get a top 4 finish in the league. Bayer is coming off a 1-1 draw vs Schalke. They have won 10 of their last 17 games. Bayer has been a much better 2nd half team, averaging 1.987 goals per game at home this season. Their totals have averaged right around 3.27 goals per game. Cologne is coming off a 1-2 loss at Union Berlin. They have won just four of their 19 road games this year. The club averages 1.40 goals per game and their totals have come in at 3.6 goals per games. I like this game to go over today. I'm looking at a four game finish here and the total is at 3.25 or 3.5 for this contest. The value for me on the German board today is OVER.

Portuguese Primeira Liga action here on Thursday has SL Benfica vs CD Tondela. The Primeira Liga returns after almost a 3 month layoff. Benfica and Porto will vy once again for the league title. Porto has 60 points and Benfica right behind them with 59 points. As for Tondela, they are in survival mode right now, hoping to be in the Primeira Liga again next season. They are in 14th place with just 25 points. This will be the first game for both teams after a lengthy 3-month layoff. I learned from the German league that the legs aren't necessarily there in this first game. Still there is a huge difference in the quality of these teams. While we might see rust here in their first games back, I'm going to take the bettter team still in the hunt for that title. Play Benfica -2 goals (+1.05).

Leipzig has been a bit on the inconsistent side, but still having a good season and a chance at No 2 in the Bundesliga league. They are coming off a 2-2 draw with Hertha Berlin last Wednesday. Cologne has been slumping but has lost at home just one time in their last nine tries, that game beting to the best team in Bayern Muchinch 1-4. Leipzig has missed some golden opportunities to move up in league play with their inconsistency. Despite being unbeaten in their last nine, six of those nine have been draws.  Considering both teams playing less than stellar, the goal line here today ont the dog of +1.5 goals looks too good to pass on at home. Play Cologne +1.5 goals (-120). 

Not much you can say other than this Bayern Munich team can really light up the scoreboard. In their first game back they looked very rusty and un-motivated. However, they have turned that back around since and the scoring has commenced. Bayern looks to add another Bundesliga title to their seven titles already. Fortuna Dusseldorf has been good too, unbeaten in their last six games. We have a high total here at 4, but that should be little trouble for Bayern to get over almost by themselves. Play the OVER.

The last time these clubs met it was a Mainz blowout win, taking down Hoffenheim 5-1 on November 24, 2019. Hoffenheim is coming off a win last time out over Koln and a draw vs Union Berlin. Home teams have not been doing well this year in the German league and with that I am taking a long look here at the visitor, Hoffenheim. Hoffenheim is a good defensive team while Mainz is more a risk taking aggressive team. I'm going to stick with the road team trends thus far and take the money line dog price with Hoffenheim.

Last meeting between these clubs back on Nov 24, 2019 was a 4-0 win by Augsburg. Hertha not playing all that well but has improved of late. Hertha not a good come-from-behind team so they will look to get on the scoreboard first here on Saturday. Augsburg has allowed more than two goals per game on the road. They area also looking for that first road win. For me, I don't favor either team in this one and won't be surprised by a draw. I'm taking the over as both teams should score in this one.
