AccuScore’s all-knowing expert is back with another set of picks for this weekend in Europe and a brief look into the matches you cannot afford to miss.
First and foremost, do not miss Barcelona’s trip to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday. There are the 2 best club sides in the world, but we’ll get to that in a bit. To this point, I have put together a run that makes me the world’s best football handicapper at the moment. I’ve gotten 75% of my picks correct, and provided profit of over 1,700 units on 2,800 units. That’s PROFIT! ROI of over 62% for the financial types. Here’s a full breakdown of my performance to this point: 21-7 with 62% Return on Investment.
Spanish Premiera Liga:
Barcelona is playing Real Madrid this weekend, and Real Madrid is favoured to win according to the odds makers. Real Madrid has been in better form to this point and Barcelona have travelled rather poorly by their standards this season. However, these are the 2 best teams in the world, and that’s not an opinion. Look at the odds: Barcelona are currently at 2.97 to win. The mighty Barcelona are paying are returning nearly 200% profit on a straight bet to win. This never happens. On the other side of that coin, Real Madrid are at home, in the form of their lives, and are currently 2.44 to win. If Real Madrid were playing any other team in the world at the Bernabeu, they would not receive even odds, but these odds prove the greatness of these teams. No one knows who’s going to win, and if you do, there’s money to be made. But, we’ll get to that…
Without Further delay, here are this week's Expert Analyst Picks:

German Bundesliga
VfB Stuttgart host Bayern Munich on Sunday in a tough fixture for the Bavarians. Stuttgart are back to be a top side after an off year last term. With Dormund expecting to collect 3 points against Kaiserslautern, Bayern will try to keep their lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Also, with Marco Reus still out, keep an eye on Borussia Monchengladbach, as they hope to continue their strong 1st half of the campaign. The Bundesliga is the most competitive league in Europe at the moment.
English Premier League
Danny Welbeck should return to the starting XI against Wolves on Saturday for United, who are now out of the Champions League and still being Manchester City. Chelsea host the league leaders on Monday in the showcase fixture of the round.
Serie A:
Similar to England, Italy’s showcase match is on Monday night as undefeated league leaders, Juventus, travel to the Olimpico to face AS Roma. Roma will be without several players who are suspended, and Juventus should collect all 3 points from that fixture. AC Milan travel to Bologna on Sunday, Udinese host Chievo, and Napoli travel to Novara on Sunday.
