European Weekend Soccer Parlay: Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A Picks (Archive)
We were so close to cashing our +940 parlay last week as we were just one goal short in the Sevilla and Osasuna game. This week we are excited about our soccer picks and at +290. We start off with a high-flying Brighton against Newcastle, then continue with a big clash in Germany between RB Leipzig and Dortmund, but wait it gets better, the Derby della Madonnina between Inter and AC Milan.
Brighton & Hove Albion FC vs. Newcastle United FC

Brighton has become such a solid team this season and Graham Potters beard might be the magic formula they were looking for (don’t cut your beard, Graham). Brighton is a joy to watch as always with their free-flowing style of football.
Opponents Newcastle, the richest club in the world now by the way, in case you hadn’t heard, it’s not sunshine and oil rigs though as the magpies find themselves in 19th. If Norwich wasn’t possibly the worst promoted team in the past 15/20 years, they would be last for sure.
Newcastle sacked Steve Bruce in recent days and now they’re linked with ex-Arsenal boss, Unai Emery, although at the time of writing he is said to have rejected this advancement. Eddie Howe is now the favorite for the job.
Okay, so enough politics, what’s the play here? We absolutely love Brighton to get on the scoreboard twice at Premier League odds of -130. Although Brighton only averages 1 goal per game, they could have to find themselves seeking another goal as we think both teams score here.
This shouldn’t be a problem as Newcastle allows 2 goals per game and the previous two times these teams met Brighton scored 3 goals in each game.

RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund
Saturday, November 06, 2021 - 01:30 PM EDT at Red Bull Arena
It’s a big clash in the German Bundesliga here with high-flying Dortmund traveling to, let’s be honest, underachievers RB Leipzig.
It seems the team has been struggling to replace Julien Nagelsmann. Although it’s been their road appearances where they have struggled to pick up points as they have yet to win in five road games this season. At home, Leipzig has been very solid, winning four and losing once.
Dortmund’s away form has been a bit suspect its self, with two wins and two losses. They know they have to win here if they wish to keep peace with Bayern Munich, who are currently one point above them in the league table. One slip of points could be curtains.
We are all about goals in this game. 4 of the previous 5 H2H have seen over 2.5 goals, with every single one of those four seeing also over 3.5 goals.
At home, Leipzig has seen all 5 games go over 2.5 and Dortmund’s games away from home are 3-1 to the over.

AC Milan vs. Inter Milan
Sunday, November 07, 2021 - 02:45 PM EST at San Siro
The biggest game of the weekend in Italy, and Europe (?) or is the Manchester Derby now much bigger? Most likely, but you can’t beat an old classic, a well-orchestrated assault on their opponents, a tactical battle, no inch given. That’s the sort of stuff to expect here almost every time these sides meet, unlike the Manchester derby.
With that being said we are leaning towards a very tight game in this edition of the Derby della Madonnina. Although five of the past seven have seen over 2.5 goals, two of those have seen over 3.5, but we don’t think we will see that many goals here as Inter are in a bad run of form right now and the last thing they want to do is suffer a loss to their biggest rivals.
Their current 7 points separate the two teams, and Inter would much rather be 7 points behind AC Milan than 10 at the end of this game.
So take the under 3.5 goals here, neither team is blessed with any world-class strikers in their ranks. Yes, Zlatan and Martinez are amazing players in their own right, and certainly match-winners, but Martinez is too inconsistent and Zlatan is out more often than available to play due to niggling injuries.
Although both are available for this game, we still like the under 3.5 at the Serie A odds, don’t get us wrong there could be 3 goals scored here, but most likely not 4.
