This weekend’s European Soccer Parlay sees us laying the juice with both teams scoring in the German Bundesliga and Italian Serie A while we are anticipating a home win in the Spanish La Liga between Athletic Bilbao and Girona. Check out why we chose these soccer picks for our parlay ahead of this weekend’s set of matchups across Europe. 


Eintracht Frankfurt vs. RB Leipzig 

Saturday, February 25, 2023 – 09:30 AM EST at Red Bull Arena

Preview 

It’s been a solid week for RB Leipzig who held Manchester City to a home tie in the Champions League following their 3-0 victory over Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga last weekend. Just five points separate first and sixth, with Leipzig currently sitting in fifth with 39 points, and their weekend opponent, Eintracht Frankfurt, is sixth with 38 points.  

Frankfurt hosted Napoli midweek losing 2-0 and getting a man sent off, they come into this Bundesliga fixture having only lost once in their previous six games. Frankfurt is the current Europa League champions and despite the loss midweek, they will be well up for this road game as they have struggled in the past on the road against Leipzig, going 0-2-2 in the last four and a win could see them leapfrog their opponents.  

Pick and Prediction  

On home soil, Leipzig has seen BTTS in 8 of their previous 10 games in all competitive competitions, while Frankfurt has seen BTTS in 7 of their previous 10 road games. Of Frankfurt’s 21 games played in the league this season they have seen BTTS in 80% of those matchups.

We suspect both teams will have a Champions League hangover so it's hard to call a winner here with the current Bundesliga odds, but at the very least both should be able to score at least once.

Girona FC vs. Athletic Bilbao

Sunday, February 26, 2023 – 08:00 AM EST at Estadio San Mamés

Preview  

It’s incredibly tight in the middle of Spanish La Liga right now with Girona currently sitting in 11th position with 27 points, there are only 10 points separating 19th and 10th, and at this stage of the season there is a long way to go and nobody is safe from relegation just yet.  

With that said, Girona has made strong strides in surviving having won 2 of their previous 5 games, which included a 6-2 win over Almeria last time out at home. Athletic Bilbao is coming into this La Liga game off a 1-0 loss to Atletico de Madrid last time out on the road, which was their fifth consecutive loss against a top-five team. They have never lost on home soil to Girona winning both previous fixtures 1-0 and 2-0.  

Pick and Prediction  

Athletic Bilbao might be an inconsistent team on the road, having only seen 13 points from a possible 33 (which happens to be the sixth-best in the league). On home soil, however, they have scored 20 from a possible 33 which is the fourth-best in the league and only three points shy of the second-best.  

Girona has picked up 27 points this season, with 21 of them coming at home they have the joint third-worst road record, and it's clear to see why the sportsbooks believe Bilbao can win this one at La Liga odds of -135.

Soccer Pick: Athletic Bilbao ML (-135) at BetOnline  


Atalanta BC vs. AC Milan

Sunday, February 26, 2023 – 02:45 PM EST at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza

Preview

It's fourth place against sixth in this Italian Serie A fixture, with Milan in fourth with 44 points and Atalanta in sixth with 41 points. In their previous five games, Milan has picked up just six points from a possible 15, which is the 14th-worst over the previous five games. While Atalanta has been just slightly better having had just 7 points from their last 15.  

Pick and Prediction  

Ac Milan has seen the second most amount of games featuring both teams to score this season while Atlanta has seen the seventh most, hitting in 65% and 57% of games. Both teams are vulnerable defensively and strong offensively with Milan scoring the fifth-most per game and Atlanta the seventh-most. Milan has also conceded the seventh-most per game at home. 

After reviewing the Serie A odds, we really like both teams to score here in this matchup, in a game we predict to end 2-2 or 1-1.
