Every soccer match offers numerous opportunities for bettors, and the paydays can be huge if you combine your favorite picks into a parlay. Before you make any soccer picks or parlays, you really have to see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.
Holliman has been a writer and editor for nearly 25 years and grew up with soccer in his blood. He played competitively through high school and has been following the game closely since the 1970's heyday of the North American Soccer League. His interest has expanded worldwide, and his betting approach is centered on crunching the numbers, but he sees the whole field and relies on his instinct.
The expert is having a profitable season on both English Premier League and the German Bundesliga and is 63-62-1 overall on his soccer article picks for SportsLine. He is 34-30-1 (+1.69 units) on EPL picks and 7-3 (+2.79) on the Bundesliga. The expert also is 18-10 (+8.44) on 2022-23 UEFA Champions League picks and has hit two parlays paying nearly 12-1 in 14 weeks of this article.
Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for May 20-22 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these four picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of almost 11-1 at Caesars Sportsbook! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 9:30 a.m ET, so there is plenty of time for you to make your soccer picks.
We can tell you that one pick Holliman loves is Liverpool -1.5 (+125) against Aston Villa on Saturday at 10 a.m. ET. The Reds are healthy and on the verge of breaking into the top four, and they are a much stronger team at Anfield. "Liverpool have a lot more to play for," Holliman says, "and I think this could get ugly."
Holliman has three other picks in his parlay that would pay almost 11-1, including a confident play on a Bundesliga match where he expects plenty of goals. If you combine these picks into a four-leg parlay, you can cash in HUGE! You ABSOLUTELY need to see the expert's predictions before you lock in any soccer picks or parlays of your own.
So which teams are MUST-BACKS on this weekend's soccer schedule? And which play on a goal total should you be sure to include in a parlay that would pay almost 11-1? ... !
