The weekend's world football slate offers tons of opportunities for bettors, and the paydays can be huge if you combine your favorite picks into a parlay. Before you make any soccer picks or parlays, make sure you see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.

Holliman has been a writer and editor for more than 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.

Since the 2022 World Cup, Holliman is 90-89-1 on his soccer picks and has been profitable across multiple leagues, including the UEFA Champions League and Bundesliga. He is 24-12 -- bringing a profit of $1,175 for $100 bettors -- on his UCL predictions this season and is 11-5 on his last 16 world soccer picks. Holliman nailed a parlay at almost 9-1 just before the break and hit two paying almost 12-1 in 14 weeks of this article in 2022-23. 

Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Nov. 4-6 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of more than 9-1! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET, so there is plenty of time for you to make your soccer picks.

We can tell you that one pick Holliman loves is Under 3.5 Goals (-105) in the Hoffenheim vs. Leverkusen matchup. The league leaders are piling up goals, but Hoffenheim's home games have typically been more low-scoring.  

Holliman has three other plays in his parlay that would pay more than 9-1, including a home favorite in France's Ligue 1. 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.
