Champions League
- Manchester United (+493) vs Paris St. Germain (-221)
Manchester United is a huge underdog versus Paris St. Germain on Wednesday. They should be. As well as Man U has played, 3-1-1 in their last 4, Paris St. Germain dominated them 2-0 in the first Champions League match.
PSG has been unbeatable in their last 5, going 5-0 in French Ligue 1 play. They’re on fire right now. It will take a gargantuan effort by Manchester United to pull of the upset. However, they’re worth a look because like Ajax versus Real Madrid, the favorite in this Champions League match appears overvalued.
Backing Man U to pull off the upset.
Soccer Betting Prediction: Manchester United +493

Soccer Betting Prediction: Tottenham -132
- Everton (+164) vs Newcastle United (+165)
After losing 3 in a row: 0-3 to Wolverhampton, 0-2 to Manchester City, and 0-1 to Watford, Everton has turned it around. They beat Cardiff 3-0. Then in their last they pulled off a shocker by drawing 0-0 with Liverpool.
Newcastle’s had a decent run as well, going 2-0 in their last couple of matches. They beat both Huddersfield Town and Burnley by a 2-0 score. Everton should get the job done at home, though. They’re offering decent odds and take on their rivals having gone 4-1-0 in the last 5 head-to-head-matchups. Everton wins this.
Soccer Betting Prediction: Everton +164
