Top Soccer Betting Picks for the Week – April 8th Edition

Liverpool vs FC Porto

Both Liverpool and FC Porto have been terrific in their last 5 matches. Liverpool’s beaten Burnley 4-2, Bayern Munich 3-1, Fulham 2-1, Tottenham 2-1, and Southampton 3-1. FC Porto has beaten AS Roma 3-1, Feirense 2-1, Maritimo 3-0, Braga 3-2, and Boavista 2-0.

No doubt, Liverpool’s battled and beaten the better teams in their last 5. However, FC Porto will play well on Tuesday. The problem they’ll have is stopping Liverpool from scoring goals. Earlier this EPL Season, Liverpool played a lot of draws because they had trouble scoring. Now, they’re having no trouble scoring. Liverpool wins by at least 2 goals.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Liverpool 3, FC Porto 1

Tottenham vs Manchester City

Two of the top teams in English Premier League throw down in the Champions League Quarterfinals on Tuesday when Manchester City travels to Tottenham to take on the HotSpur. Tottenham’s been in okay form. The HotSpur are 2-1-2 with the draw coming against Arsenal and the losses to Southampton and Liverpool.

Man City has been on fire. The likely English Premier League Season winner has won 5 in a row. They’re also 4-1-0 versus Tottenham in the last 5. That draw happened way back on January 2017. It’s hard to put too much emphasis on that draw. Manchester City will beat Tottenham on April 9.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Manchester City 2, Tottenham 1

Manchester United vs West Ham United

  • When: Saturday, April 13
  • English Premier League Odds: TBA

Both these squads are 2-3 in their last 5. Manchester United lost 1-2 to Wolverhampton on April 2 while West Ham lost 0-2 to Everton on March 30. In the head-to-head, West Ham’s had the upper hand in the last couple.

They drew with Man United 0-0 on May 10, 2018. Then, they beat Man United 3-1 on September 29, 2018. But, Manchester United has improved since then, so much so, that they made it all the way to the Champions League Quarterfinals.

They’ll beat West Ham by at least 2 goals on Saturday. This is especially true because the match takes place at Old Trattford.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Manchester United 2, West Ham United 0

Liverpool vs Chelsea

  • When: Sunday, April 14
  • English Premier League Odds: TBA

The top match in English Premier League this week takes place on Sunday, April 14 when Liverpool hosts Chelsea. Chelsea has been one of the best teams in EPL in the past decade. Liverpool has been one of the best teams in EPL in the past 5 seasons.

Chelsea’s English Premier League Season hasn’t turned out that well. The Blue have 63 points, well behind EPL leaders Liverpool at 82 and Manchester City at 80. Chelsea could give their fans a thrill by beating Liverpool, though.

Unfortunately, Liverpool’s on fire. They’ve only lost a single match in EPL play this season. Unless something happens on Tuesday in Liverpool’s Champions League match, an injury to a key player, something like that, they should beat Chelsea.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Liverpool 2, Chelsea 1
