Friday, February 18, 2022 – 02:30 PM EST at MEWA Arena
In their bid to challenge Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund for the top-two positions of the Bundesliga table, third-placed Bayer Leverkusen travels to the MEWA Arena to battle with the ever-evolving Mainz 05.
This Friday's hosts continue to surprise critics after a relegation battle was expected this term. Instead, Bo Svensson's squad has managed to put themselves in 9th place, with the potential to challenge this season's European qualifying positions. Several Bundesliga sides are separated by three points between the 4th and 10th Bundesliga table spots, and this Mainz squad is in the mix. Just one win could dramatically propel them into the top-five, showing how close this season's race has become.
However, they won't be able to catch Leverkusen. A team who's become a serious contender to challenge for 2nd position, with the added potential to win the Bundesliga title. Gerardo Seoane's men have won four games on the bounce and are undefeated in 2022.
The Bundesliga betting odds are naturally in favor of third-place Leverkusen, but the current form of Mainz has forced the sportsbooks to give us a comfortable plus-money price tag.
Riding high after a thrilling encounter with Borussia Dortmund and a feeling of invincibility makes me believe they can continue their impressive win streak versus Mainz.
Mainz 05 vs Bayer Leverkusen Score Prediction: Mainz 1 – B Leverkusen 3

Saturday, February 19, 2022 - 02:45 PM EST at Stadio Arechi
Basement dwellers Salernitana haven't enjoyed life in the top-flight of Italian football thus far, losing 16 of their 26 domestic fixtures to position themselves at rock bottom of the table. And now, they'll welcome 1st place AC Milan to the Stadio Arechi, with little hope of claiming a result.
The Rossoneri's three-game consecutive win streak has placed them above fellow title-chasers Inter Milan and Napoli by a mere point. As the race to become Italian champions heats up, they cannot afford to drop points versus lackluster teams such as Salernitana.
Remaining undefeated in their previous six road games, whilst winning seven of their last nine games in all competitions, AC Milan should have no problem with the home pitch disadvantage versus a team who've lost all ten meetings with top-ten opponents.

The Serie A betting odds rarely put such high probabilities on visiting teams. Still, given the circumstances, we can't be surprised that sportsbooks are heavily in favor of a Milan victory.
On that note, finding value can't be found in a straight money line bet, but the expectation that Milan can succeed by more than one goal leaves a viable set of odds for us to pounce on.
Salernitana vs. AC Milan Score Prediction: Salernitana 0 – AC Milan 2
Soccer Pick: AC Milan -1 (-103) [1.97] [1.03u wager returns 1u of profit] at Everygame

Sitting in 7th place of the Spanish La Liga table, Villarreal will continue their bid for a top-five placement when they visit Granada on Saturday.
Villarreal is just three points shy of Barcelona in 4th place. Finding consistent form and a string of victories could position the Yellow Submarine as serious contenders for a top-four finish. And this shouldn't be a challenging goal to obtain, given the 20 points they've collected from their previous nine domestic fixtures.
Following a surprise 9th-placed finish in La Liga last term, Granada's efforts have plummeted this term, with a relegation battle underway.
The Nazaries are one position above the relegation zone with four points separating them from Alaves in 18th; accepting defeat can severely harm their future in the Spanish top-flight.
When comparing the current form of each squad, it's difficult not to envision Villarreal returning home with all three points. Behind a robust defense, the visitors have maintained an impressive run of results and three consecutive clean sheets.
With a near-even money line on Villarreal, all signs indicate Unai Emery and company climbing further up the table after an easy win versus Granada.
Granada vs. Villarreal Score Prediction: Granada 0 – Villarreal 1
Soccer Pick: Villarreal to Win (-110) [1.91] [1.10u wager returns 1u of profit] at Everygame
