Watford vs Tottenham
- Premier League Odds: Watford +211 / Tottenham +108
Tottenham continues to struggle. The Hotspur’s last win happened on Dec. 26. Tottenham beat Bright & Hove Albion 2-1. Watford is in better form. But the Hotspur lost by a single goal, 1-0, to Liverpool in their last. Tottenham’s form is on the improve. They can get the win here.

Manchester City vs Crystal Palace

Man City is on a roll. They’ve won 5 in a row. However, in the last 5 head-to-head matchups against Crystal Palace, Manchester City has won by 3 goals or more once. That happened in a 5-0 game back on Sep. 23, 2017. Take the 2 ½ goals on Palace.
Soccer Betting Pick: Crystal Palace
Southampton vs Wolverhampton
- Premier League Odds: Southampton +164 / Wolverhampton +146
The most competitive English Premier League matchup on Saturday has Southampton up against Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton offers worse odds. Southampton is the pick, though. The Southies have 4 wins and a draw in their last 5. They beat Leicester City, Tottenham, and Chelsea in 3 wins. They should handle the Wanderers on Jan. 18.
Soccer Betting Pick: Southampton
Real Madrid vs Sevilla FC
- La Liga Odds: Real Madrid -172 / Sevilla FC +367
On Sunday, Real Madrid beat Atletico on penalty kicks for the Supercopa Championship. They can’t rest on their laurels. Saturday’s matchup against Sevilla is a tough game for Real. Sevilla beat Real Madrid twice in 2018 while Real turned the tables with 2 wins in 2019. Sevilla has 3 wins and a draw in their last 4, though. Give Sevilla a chance to upset Real in regulation.
Soccer Betting Pick: Sevilla
Sunday, Jan. 19th

Pool has 20 wins and a draw in their 21 EPL matches. They set a points record in their last match, a 1-0 win over Tottenham. But Man United has a chance to beat Liverpool.
