Several top teams are looking at European competition in the coming week, but there are key league matchups to worry about first. This weekend features top-four battles in France's Ligue 1 and the German Bundesliga. In France, league leader Paris Saint-Germain visit fourth-place Monaco on Saturday at 11 a.m. ET. In Germany, fourth-place RB Leipzig host second-place Union Berlin at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. 

There are big games Sunday, as well. In Spain, La Liga leader Barcelona could face a test at sixth-place Villarreal, and it's a battle for fourth in Italy's Serie A as Lazio try to keep their one-point lead when they host Atalanta.

PSG are +145 favorites, with Monaco the +175 underdogs, in Caesars Sportsbook's latest soccer odds. Lazio also are plus-money favorites at +135, with Atalanta priced at +195. Barcelona (-130) and Leipzig (-145) are clearer choices in the odds at Caesars. (For complete soccer coverage and more expert picks, check out our soccer analysis pages) 

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 22-17-1 over his past 10 weeks of picks, a run that includes hitting a parlay paying almost 9-1. Holliman is 19-17-1 on all soccer predictions in 2023, and he is 5-1 (+409) on Champions League picks and was 8-4 (+490) on his final 12 World Cup plays (5-0 on over/under picks).

Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Feb. 11-13 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 10-1 at Caesars Sportsbook! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 9:30 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 Under 2.5 Match Goals (-120) in the Lyon vs. Lens matchup in France's Ligue 1 (Sunday, 2:45 p.m. ET). Neither team concedes many goals, and Lyon are especially stingy at home, with six of their past seven home matches going under this number.     

Holliman has three other picks in his parlay that would pay more than 10-1. They include a CONFIDENT play on a winner in should be a tight German Bundesliga match. 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.
