Two European giants, Liverpool and Real Madrid, headline Tuesday’s crop of Champions League fixtures.
The pregame narrative: Liverpool is not in form right now. That can be detrimental when hosting a team of Madrid’s calibre. Earlier on, look for Arsenal to dominate Czech side Slavia Prague.
Check out the best Champions League predictions for the matches on Nov. 4.
And that’s the case in this match. Slavia Prague is winless in three Champions League fixtures with two goals scored and a -3 goal differential.
When Prague had to play another top side (Inter Milan), it lost 3-0 and after conceding a pair of first-half goals. Inter had 21 shots compared to Prague’s two, dominating from start to finish.
I expect a very similar effort from the Gunners, who should control every aspect of this match.
Key stat: Arsenal have the third-best average match rating in the UCL league phase, per Fotmob (7.39).
Real Madrid to win (+165): I simply cannot back Liverpool as the favourite in this matchup with how the side has been playing.
After starting the season 6-0-0 across all competitions, the Reds have lost five of the past seven.
The former EPL favourites dropped to third in the standings and are now seven points back of Arsenal.
On the other hand, Real Madrid is white-hot. Los Blancos have won six straight, including a 1-0 victory over Juventus in the UCL.
It was almost impossible to fade Liverpool last year, but this season has been off to a rough start, and Madrid has the firepower to hand the Reds another loss.
Real Madrid has the best average match rating (7.52) and ranks inside the top three for shots on goal, expected goals for and goals conceded per match.
The Premier League is back with another full slate of fixtures running throughout the weekend.
The pregame narrative: Manchester United has won three straight games and could jump into the Top Four with a win over bottom-feeding Nottingham Forest on Saturday. West Ham has conceded the most goals through nine games, making Newcastle forward Nick Woltemade an intriguing prop target.
Check out the best Premier League Matchday 10 predictions, plus a schedule for all the matches.
The Red Devils are 60% toward Ilett’s benchmark after stringing together three wins against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton. I say they get one step closer on Saturday.
Ruben Amorim’s vision is beginning to take hold in Manchester. His squad has put together a relentless attack, ranking near the top of several key offensive categories, per FotMob:
1st in SOT per match (5.2)
2nd in xG (16.7)
2nd in accurate long balls per match (25.1)
United ranks seventh in goals for (15) but is only two behind the league lead. I expect it to score early and often against a Nottingham team that is falling apart at the seams.
The Tricky Trees currently sit 18th in the Premiership with 17 goals conceded in nine games. They fired head coach Ange Postecoglou just months into his tenure, and lost 2-0 to Bournemouth in replacement manager Sean Dyche’s debut.
It will take a while for Dyche’s tactical system to take hold, and I expect Amorim to exploit that this weekend.
Key stat: Nottingham has lost four of its last five games across all competitions.
Best Premier League Matchday 10 prop bet
Woltemade to score (+130): One of the only teams worse off than Nottingham is West Ham.
The Hammers are 1-1-7 through nine fixtures with a league-worst -13 goal differential. They have conceded the most goals (20) and the second-most xG (15.2).
That makes Woltemade, who has been lighting it up with Newcastle, an intriguing bet to score.

Soccer fans are treated to another heap of midweek action, with 18 Champions League matches scattered across Tuesday and Wednesday.
The pregame narrative: Manchester City is in fine form ahead of its battle with Spanish side Villarreal, making the Citzens a strong pick to do damage on the road. Elsewhere, look for Real Madrid to hammer a Juventus side that hasn’t scored in back-to-back games.
Check out the best Champions League predictions for the Matchday 3 fixtures, plus a schedule for all the matches.
Everyone who wrote Manchester City off after a slow start must be getting nervous.
Pep Guardiola’s side is on an eight-game unbeaten run across all competitions (6-2-0). Both of its draws came on the road, and one was against EPL-leading Arsenal.
Erling Haaland has kicked it into high gear, scoring 14 goals in 10 appearances so far.
He’s fresh off a brace against Everton on the weekend and shouldn’t have much trouble against Villarreal.
The Spanish side currently sits a respectable third in La Liga but is well behind Real Madrid and Barcelona. Villarreal hasn’t won in three fixtures, with a pair of 2-2 home draws against Juventus and Real Betis and a 3-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Man City played that same Juventus team in the FIFA Club World Cup, smashing it 5-2 on neutral ground.
The club is stacked with elite offensive talents beyond Haaland, and all of them are avaiable for this midweek fixture (save for midfielder Rodri, who has a hamstring injury).
Key stat: Man City leads the Premier League in match rating (7.20), per FotMob.
Real Madrid half time/full time (+110): Not long ago, Real Madrid and Juventus were level as European powerhouses.
But the Spanish giants have stayed on top, while Italy’s most successful historical side has faltered.
Juventus hasn’t finished above third in Serie A in five straight years. For a team that’s won a record 36 Scudettos — nine of which came consecutively before this drought — that’s a serious disappointment.
Igor Tudor’s squad currently sits seventh in the table with a 3-3-1 record. It has three draws in a loss in its last four games.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, tops the La Liga table with an 8-0-1 record. It also tops Spain’s top flight La Liga in match rating (7.32) and clean sheets (four) while ranking second in xG (19.8).
These clubs are equal only in terms on name recognition. Madrid has better talent throughout its lineup and should smash Juventus at home.
If you have ever wondered how to bet on soccer, you’ve come to the right place.
A sport played around the world, soccer reaches its highest level in European club play and International tournaments. Whether it’s Canada’s Alphonso Davies, Egypt’s Mohamed Salah, or England’s Jude Bellingham — the best players find their way to Europe’s top leagues.

How to bet on soccer
There are many ways to bet on soccer, from game outcomes to player-specific results. When betting on a match, there are plenty of variables to consider. Is a starting player injured? Who holds the tactical advantage? Which club is in better form? These are all important questions to ask.
We will cover the many different markets available to soccer bettors and how to capitalize on them in this piece.

-> Before you get started, create your NorthStar Bets accountto explore live odds and daily soccer markets.
Full-time result
Betting on the full-time result is the most popular way to wager on soccer. Think of it as three-way moneyline betting since games can end in a tie — something seldom seen in North American sports.
There are three possible bets for you to choose from under this scenario: Team A, Team B, and Draw.
Since a draw is possible, the favourite will not always be denoted with a minus (-) symbol but can also be labelled at plus (+) money.
Typically, in an evenly matched contest, the odds are skewed in favour of the home team, while a draw sits slightly higher than either team to win.

This, of course, changes based on who is competing. For example, if Manchester City were playing at home versus Everton, they would surely be favoured around -1,000 on the moneyline.
A draw, meanwhile, could sit at +600, and an Everton win at +800.
Sportsbooks are placing a 90.91% implied probability of Manchester City winning the match at -1,000. You would have to wager $1,000 to win $100.
Here are some other examples of how odds work:

When deciding what to bet, some important factors could include injuries, team form, location, and weather.
Draw no-bet and double-results
If you wish to bet on a soccer moneyline without the option of a tie, choose the draw no bet option. This returns your stake if a draw occurs, but also lowers the odds on either team to win.
Let’s use a match between Arsenal (home side) and Tottenham (away side) as an example of what these odds could look like with two teams competing.
Betting Market
Arsenal(H)
Draw
Tottenham (A)
Three-way
-106
+290
+260
Draw no bet
-230
N/A
+180
This removes the risk of losing your bet on a last-second tying goal or a 0-0 snoozefest.
You can also bet double results, which would look something like this:
Arsenal or tie (-350)
Tottenham or tie (+105)
Wagering a double-results allows bettors to capitalize on underdogs when they’re confident the team will at least tie a game.
How to bet on soccer: Goal line
Goal line betting isn’t as popular in soccer as result betting. Similar to the puck line in hockey, or run line in baseball, the goal line allows bettors to capitalize on markets where one team is significantly favoured. Think of it as betting against the spread (ATS).
Let’s use the Manchester City vs. Everton example again. City were -1,000 for a full-time result win, so there’s very little value in betting them on the moneyline.
However, their goal line may be set at -2.5, meaning if they win by three or more goals, they would cover. If Everton, on the other hand, lost by two or fewer goals — or won straight up — they would cover.
Goal lines are generally set at even -110 odds, but there can be some variance.
If you believe Man City was going to blow out Everton, taking the goal line at -110 odds would make far more sense than betting it to win at -1,000.

Totals
Betting totals in soccer is extremely popular and is the simplest of all wagers. You are choosing the total amount of goals scored in a contest. This can also be referred to as the O/U or over/under.
Let’s say the O/U is set at 2.5: If three or more goals are scored, the over wins. The under would require two or fewer goals to cash.
The total for most matches is commonly set at 2.5 but can vary from 1.5 to 4.5 at the high end depending on who is playing.
In other sports, the O/U is typically set at even -110 odds per side.
In soccer, however, there’s more variance. For example, an over set at 1.5 could be -175, while the under would be listed at +140. A 3.5 total could be presented at +150 for the over, and the under at -160.
There’s also an option to move the total higher or lower. This is known as an alternate total. If you believe a match will be a shootout and the over is set at 2.5, you could move the line to 3.5 or even 4.5 — and the odds would similarly change.
Total
Over

+300
2.5
-130
+105
3.5
+175
-250
4.5
+450
-700
In addition to game totals, you can bet team totals, which follow the same principles but only apply to one team.
For the most part, props can be divided into two categories: player props and game props.
Player props are relatively straightforward, let’s use Lionel Messi as an example. You can bet on how many shots or shots on target he would have. Beyond that, there are props on his chances to score a goal, make an assist, or receive a card, among others.
The odds for Messi, a forward, to score a goal would be significantly higher (around -125) than his teammate Sergio Busquets, a defensive midfielder (+900).
Game props involve both teams, and you can bet on anything from the number of total cards to how many free kicks or offsides there will be.
As mentioned, the props market is extensive, so familiarizing yourself with what you’re betting on is key to success.

Parlays
Parlays are a way to combine multiple selections into one larger ticket for a greater payout. A parlay consists of two or more bets, each of which is known as a leg. For the parlay to be successful, each leg must win or else the entire parlay loses.
This drastically increases payout possibilities while the bettor assumes more risk.
You can parlay props, full-time results, totals, and more into one ticket. Here is an example:
Draw full-time result, Juventus v. Roma +280 Liverpool full-time result, Liverpool v. Chelsea -105 Son Heung-min anytime goalscorer +160
Odds of combined selection: +1,728 ($100 bet would win $1,728).
Outside of multi-game parlays, our sportsbook has the option for same-game parlays where you can combine multiple props and markets from the same game into one ticket.
Live betting is a way to wager on a game after it has started. While you can typically find all of the aforementioned markets when live betting, the odds could drastically change.
Let’s say Toronto FC was playing Inter Miami. Prior to the game beginning, Inter Miami was priced at -350 full-time result, while TFC was listed at +300 and a draw at +325.
If Toronto went up 1-0 before halftime, the odds would shift and TFC would become favoured. If you believed Miami had a chance at coming back and winning, you could likely find their live full-time result odds at +150 or more.
Live betting player props are also a popular option. If Messi was -125 to score a goal before the game and went into halftime without finding the net, his odds to score would rise to around +250.

How to bet on soccer futures
The soccer futures market is incredibly robust. When placing a future, you are essentially predicting an event that will take place further down the line.
Since global football is comprised of so many leagues, we’ll just stick to the Premier League for this section.
You can bet on who you believe will win the Premier League before the season starts. The usual suspects such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal will likely be favoured in odds, while mid-table clubs would have a much lower chance of winning.
Liverpool opened the 2024-25 season with +800 odds and won.
Perhaps the most famous futures bet in soccer history is when Leicester City won the Premier League in 2015-16, having opened at +500,000. Yes, you read that correctly, 5,000-to-1.
You can place similar bets on who will win the FA Cup, as well as multi-league competitions such as the Champions League.
Furthermore, the futures market has options to bet on if teams will finish in the top-half, top-six, or top-four of their respective league tables. These odds are great opportunities if you think a team will be competitive but are not yet good enough to win the league.
There are also futures markets available for player props. One popular bet is who will win the Golden Boot (top goal scorer) in the Premier League. Players such as Erling Haaland and Salah would sit atop the odds here.

After a lengthy international break, Europe’s top soccer leagues return to action this weekend.
The pre-weekend narrative: Tottenham has been strong over the last month, sitting third on the Premier League table ahead of a home match vs. Aston Villa on Sunday morning. After that, Real Madrid should have another dominant performance over a mid-table La Liga side.
Check out this weekend’s best European soccer predictions for games on Oct. 19, 2025, featuring a pick on AC Milan vs. Fiorentina.
Soccer predictions
Getafe vs.Real Madrid (Oct. 19, 3 p.m. ET)
Best bet:Real Madrid halftime/fulltime (+100)
I don’t think there’s a hotter team in Europe right now than Real Madrid.
The Spanish Giants are first in La Liga with seven wins and one loss this season.
Madrid is also 2-0-0 to begin the UCL league phase.
That makes the side 9-0-1 overall to start the year, with the lone defeat coming against a formidable opponent in Atletico Madrid.
Los Blancos have handled lower-tier competition with ease, giving me confidence that they can dominate Getafe.
The side has a 3-2-3 record through eight games with a negative goal differential (-2).
Getafe is coming off a loss to 11th-place Osasuna and recently got smoked 3-0 by Barcelona.
Barca is the most comparable side to Madrid, sitting two points behind them atop the league standings.
Even on the road, Real Madrid should be able to grab an early lead and never look back.
Key stat: Los Blancos rank in the top two of La Liga for xG (17.9), Fotmob rating (7.30), big chances (28) and shots on target per match (6.5).
EPL best bet
Matchup: Tottenham vs. Aston Villa (Oct. 19, 9 a.m. ET)
Tottenham to win (+115): Across all competitions, Tottenham is undefeated in its past seven matches. That’s a good place to start.
While Aston Villa is on a two-game win streak in the EPL, those results came at home against teams much worse than Tottenham.
Villa beat 14th-place Fulham 3-1 on Sept. 28.
The side then beat 18th-place Burnley, 2-1, the following week.
Wins are wins, so I can’t take toomuch away from Villa, but Tottenham provides a much steeper challenge.
The Hotspur have the third-best goal differential in the EPL (+8) behind Manchester City and Arsenal.
They have conceded five goals in seven matches, tied for the second fewest in the Premier League.
Aston Villa has scored six times in seven games, showing its lack of offensive upside. On the road, it’s going to be hard to find a breakthrough.
At plus-money, I have to side with the better team at home that also carries a lot of momentum into Matchday 8.
Serie A prediction
Matchup: AC Milan vs. Fiorentina (Oct. 19, 2:45 p.m. ET)
Fiorentina under 0.5 goals (+115): There are a few solid reasons to buy in on AC Milan holding a clean sheet this weekend.
Milan has conceded just three goals in six Serie A fixtures.
The side held clean sheets in four of the past five matches. Only first-place Napoli was able to score once in its 2-1 loss to Milan.
Fiorentina is currently in a relegation spot, and it struggles to score. It has four total goals in Serie A after six matches.
Things get even worse away from home. The side has one goal in three away games, cashing this under twice.
In their most recent away fixture, Fiorentina drew 0-0 with last-place and winless Pisa.
There’s no reason to feel confident about Fiorentina scoring in this game, so at plus money, I feel like this is a no-brainer.
