Another exciting round of fixtures in European soccer takes place this weekend. After being one goal away from a push in our parlay last weekend, we are looking to strike gold and find a winner this weekend.
Two out of form teams come head to head in the German Bundesliga, a desperate match is anticipated from Manchester United at Old Trafford and our final play in this week’s Parlay sees us head to Catalonia. Let’s break down the betting odds!
Saturday, March 12, 2022 – 12:30 PM EST at Borussia-Park
Gladbach has managed to pick up just one win in their previous 5 league games and has been through a very bad run of form overall as they have the 3rd worst league form over the previous 10 games. Luckily for them the visitors today, Hertha Berlin have managed to pick up just 5 points from a possible 30 in their previous 10, the worst form in the league.
We are using the approach here that on home soil this Gladbach team should prove slightly better than their Berlin counterparts. It’s not a “gimme” by any stretch of the means, both teams are massively out of form, so we will see how this one shapes out.

We see a 2-1 / 3-1 home victory here. Tayfun Korkut’s managerial position is riding on this game so expect Hertha to give it their all here, or at least he will try to get that message across to the players.

Saturday, March 12, 2022 – 12:30 PM EST at Old Trafford
The contrast between these two teams after their previous Premier League fixtures couldn’t be more different. Manchester United was absolutely thumped by Manchester City 4-1 in the derby. More embarrassingly for the United players was the fact that Manchester United had 92% possession of the football for the final 20 minutes of the game, a quite staggering figure.
Tottenham on the other hand just dished out a 5-0 defeat to lowly Frank Lampard and Everton. Spurs will have their tails up heading into this one as a win here would see them leapfrog Manchester United in the league table and they would also have an extra two games in hand.
The last time the Spurs came to Old Trafford they were ahead 4-1 at halftime and eventually won the game 6-1, and to be honest this Manchester United team is so bad right now that we wouldn’t be surprised to see something similar occur on Saturday.
Regardless of what happens, we love this game's chances to go over 2.5 goals, it’s all to play for between both teams, and with United’s weakness at the back and Tottenham’s peace and power going forward we are more than happy to lay -125 to see some goals here.

Sunday, March 13, 2022 – 3:00 PM EST at Camp Nou
Although we are laying juice at -300 here for our soccer pick, we are more than happy to do so as a parlay filler with this new and improved Barcelona team. Xavi really has come back to the team and transformed them with their approach and mindset.
Barcelona now plays like a functioning team capable of winning matches again and the proof of this is in the fact that they easily disposed of Napoli in the Europe League and have also managed to achieve the best form in the league over their previous 10 games, winning seven and drawing three.
To their credit, Osasuna has done relatively well this season and currently sits in 11th position in the league and is 11 points clear of the relegation zone. Away from home Osasuna also boasts the 6th best record in the league, and their odds to win this matchup at +950 are probably a little too high.
Nonetheless, we can’t envision Osasuna getting anything from this game, Barcelona is on a different level right now than the rest of the league and will more than likely win this one easily. Besides a shock 2-1 defeat to Osasuna at the Camp Nou in July 2020 (with no fans) they have done exceptionally well, beating them in 4 of the last 5 home games, scoring a whopping 24 goals, and conceding just twice.
