All these games offer many opportunities for bettors, and the paydays can be even bigger if you combine your favorite picks into a parlay. Before you make any soccer picks or parlays, you really have to see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.

Holliman has been a writer and editor for nearly 25 years and grew up with soccer in his blood. He played competitively through high school and has been following the game closely since the 1970's heyday of the North American Soccer League. His interest has expanded worldwide, and his betting approach is centered on crunching the numbers, but he sees the whole field and relies on his instinct.

The expert is 25-18-1 over his past 11 weeks of picks in this article, a run that includes hitting a parlay paying almost 9-1. Holliman is on a 12-4 run on all soccer picks for SportsLine and is 8-2 (+689) on Champions League predictions this year.

Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Feb. 18-20 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these four picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of more than 9-1 at Caesars Sportsbook! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Sunday at 9 a.m. ET, so there is plenty of time for you to make your soccer picks.

We can tell you that one pick that Holliman loves is Barcelona to Win to Nil (-140) against Cadiz. The Blaugrana are playing at home, where they have conceded just one goal all season, and they won the last meeting 4-0.      

Holliman has three other picks in his parlay that would pay more than 9-1. They include a CONFIDENT play on a team total in a Ligue 1 match that is sure to be a defensive battle. If you combine these picks into a four-leg parlay, you can cash in HUGE! You ABSOLUTELY need to see the expert's predictions before you lock in any soccer picks or parlays of your own.
