A smaller schedule on the European Soccer stage on Monday, but even with only four games on tap we can still find a parlay to deal out so here goes!
Bet #1: Heidenheim/Werder Bremen – Both Teams to Score – Yes -115 (German Bundesliga Relegation Playoff) 2:30 PM EST – Maybe it was the torrential downpour that the first leg was played in, or maybe it was just that Werder doesn’t play well at home and Heidenheim doesn’t play well on the road. Either way, a scoreless first leg meant a single goal can push Heidenheim through to the Bundesliga and send Bremen to a shock drop to 2Bundesliga, but it also means that one away goal from Bremen means Heidenheim need to score two to have a chance at winning the game and promotion. I expect a back and forth game and for both sides to be chasing each other at some point in the match.
Bet #2: Levante/Real Sociedad Over 2.5 Goals -125 (Spanish La Liga) 1:30 PM EST – Sociedad’s the better team in the table and on paper, but they’ve struggled since the resumption of the season and a win over Espanyol doesn’t move the needle much for me. Levante’s played better since the restart, but it’s hard for me to gauge what to expect on a game-to-game basis. On thing that’s consistent though is that when Levante and Sociedad meet, there are goals. Six of the last eight head-to-head have seen at least three goals and I have a 2-1 scoreline either way at the final whistle, so give me the over here.
Bet #3: Sevilla/Eibar Over 2.5 Goals EVEN / Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score +180 (Spanish La Liga) 4:00 PM EST – Like the Levante/Sociedad match, this one features a Sevilla team that’s one of the best at home this season, but they’ve drawn four of six games since La Liga restarted and while Eibar’s had a nice run of form lately, they just had a four game unbeaten run snapped. Rather than picking a side, I’ll back the over as there has been 22 goals in the last five head-to-head meetings for even money and braver bettors may want to go another route of taking the over with both teams scoring as that’s occurred in the last four head-to-head.
Parlay #1:
Heidenheim/Bremen BTTS -115
Levante/Real Sociedad Over 2.5 Goals -125
Sevilla/Eibar Over 2.5 Goals EVEN
This should pay around +573
Parlay #2:
Heidenheim/Bremen BTTS -115
Levante/Real Sociedad Over 2.5 Goals -125
Sevilla/Eibar Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams To Score +180
This would pay around +842
Good luck everyone!
