One of the great things about being a regular soccer betting enthusiast is that there are always a ton of games to choose from. The hardest part of making your bets is choosing between all the matches that are on the calendar on any given day. It’s business as usual all across Europe this week, with huge match-ups coming thick and fast.
We have done the hard work for you, and have narrowed down the field to find what we believe are the top soccer picks of the week. We will be doing a little globetrotting to deliver some betting picks and other predictions, so let’s get started in England.
Chelsea hammered home 4 of their own against Brighton over the weekend but looked a bit dodgy on defense at times. This one might require extra time, but I am taking Arsenal to move on.

Swansea City vs. Liverpool – Monday
Manchester City is the hottest team in the English Premier League at the moment, but Liverpool is not far behind. It was, in fact, the Reds who broke City’s unbeaten streak last week in a 4-3 thriller, and they are back in action again on Monday with a road trip to face Swansea. These two last hooked up over the holiday period, and it was Liverpool who ran out 5-0 winners in that one, although that win did come at home. That said, there is a huge gap between these two in terms of talent, with Swansea stuck in the cellar in the EPL. This should be another comfortable win for Liverpool.Recent Head to Head

Sevilla vs. Atletico Madrid – Tuesday
The second leg of the Copa Del Rey match-up between these two Spanish giants is set to go on Tuesday, with Sevilla holding an unexpected 2-1 lead after the first leg. I say unexpected because they had failed to win in their previous two visits to Madrid in La Liga play. It is Sevilla who hold the advantage coming into this one, but they can probably expect to soak up some early pressure as Atletico try to even the tie in the second leg. I think it will be a tight one, but I like Sevilla to do just enough to move on to the next round.Recent Head to Head

Arsenal vs. Chelsea – Wednesday
It’s all to play for in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final after these two split the honors in a 0-0 tie at Stamford Bridge in the first leg. Arsenal will look at that result as a job well done, as they now get to go home and try to get the win in front of their own fans. The Gunners looked vastly improved in a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace over the weekend, and already look to have moved on from losing Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.
Chelsea hammered home 4 of their own against Brighton over the weekend but looked a bit dodgy on defense at times. This one might require extra time, but I am taking Arsenal to move on.

Yeovil Town vs. Manchester United – Friday
Not the most glamorous tie in the 4th round of the FA Cup, but one that is nonetheless significant as it may prove to be the game where Alexis Sanchez makes his first appearance in United red. This should be a straightforward game for Manchester United, but it’s going to be interesting to see how the line-up shapes up with Sanchez in the mix. That said, Mourinho may choose to let him sit this one out in favor of starting him next Wednesday against Tottenham. Time will only tell, but I do think we will see him in this game at some point.Recent Head to Head
