Top European Soccer Games for This Weekend (Oct. 3rd – 4th)

When: Saturday, Oct. 3 – Sunday, Oct. 4

Saturday, Oct. 3 Matches

German Bundesliga

Monchengladbach -121 / Cologne +286

Monchengladbach hasn’t played great since the new Bundesliga season started. They dropped a match 0-3 to Dortmund and drew 1-1 with Union Berlin. Cologne is just 1-3 SU in their last 4, though, with the lone victory happening versus a DFB Pokal squad.

Bundesliga Free Pick: Monchengladbach -121

Freiburg +1 ½ (-106) / Dortmund -1 ½ (-125)

Dortmund has lost their last couple of matches. Freiburg drew in their last, 1-1 to Wolfsburg. Before that, they had won 3 in a row. Take the 1 ½.

Bundesliga Free Pick: Freiburg +1 ½

Hoffenheim +181 / Frankfurt +131

Hoffenheim has won 5 in a row. But Frankfurt beat them 2-1 in January. Does that mean Hoffenheim is the worse play? Not at the odds. Give Hoffenheim the nod.

Bundesliga Free Pick: Hoffenheim +181

Schalke 04 +2 (-144) / Rb Leipzig -2 (+108)

Schalke is 0-2 in their last two, losing 0-8 versus Bayern and dropping a match 1-3 to Werder Bremen. Leipzig drew with Leverkusen in their last. Before that, they beat Mainz 3-1. Lay it.

Bundesliga Free Pick: Rb Leipzig -2

Italian Serie A

AS Roma -158 / Udinese Calcio +388

Although AS Roma has two draws and a loss in their last 3, Udinese Calcio has 3 draws and a win in their last 4. Roma drew with Juventus in their last match. They should handle Udinese on Saturday.

Serie A Free Pick: As Roma -158

Sunday, Oct. 4 Matches

German Bundesliga

Hertha +2 ½ (-135) / Bayern Munich -2 ½ (+102)

On Sep 27, Hoffenheim beat Bayern 4-1. Munich bounced back with a 3-2 win over Dortmund on Sep. 30. In the last head-to-head, Bayern won 4-0. They can cover the -2 ½.

Bundesliga Free Pick: Bayern -2 ½

Italian Serie A

Cagliari Calcio +2 (-142) / Atalanta -2 (+106)

Cagliari has drawn twice and lost twice in their last 4. Atalanta has won their last couple and it wasn’t even close, 4-2 against Torino and 4-1 over Lazio. Give the nod to Atalanta.

Serie A Free Pick: Atalanta -2

Inter Milano +118 / Lazio Roma +188

Inter Milano has won 4 in a row. In 2-of-4, Inter Milan beat teams in club friendly matches. The other two victories weren’t against top Serie A squads. Also, Lazio beat Milan 2-1 in February. We’re going with Lazio.

Serie A Free Pick: Lazio

Spezia Calcio +1 ½ (+108) / AC Milan -1 ½ (-102)

AC Milan won all 8 of their September matches. Sassuolo beat Spezia 4-1 on Sep. 27. So, we’re willing to give up the 1 ½ on AC.

Serie A Free Pick: AC Milan -102

Napoli +274 / Juventus -108

Yes, Juventus looks strong. But Napoli beat Juventus 2-1 on Jan. 26. These two drew in the last head-to-head. The odds on Napoli require backing. They’ve proven they can beat Juvy in regulation and Juventus drew 2-2 versus AS Roma in their last.

Serie A Free Pick: Napoli +274
