Weekend soccer is back and we’re so here for it! All leagues are back in action and do I have some plays for you. There are some great matchups this weekend, so let’s touch on a few.
In the English Premier League, Aston Villa will be home to host AFC Bournemouth. Villa is currently 4th in the table and are 3-2-0 in their last 5 matches. We’re going to talk about their star player in a little bit.
Next, we’re going to head to Germany and the Bundesliga. Leverkusen will visit Werder Breman. Leverkusen is also 3-2-0 in their last 5 matches. They just drew in their Champions league match this week.
Lastly, we’re going to go to the big game in La Liga. Real Madrid will host rival Barcelona for El Clasico. Barcelona just dominated Munich in Champions League play this week but will have their work cut out for them against Madrid at home.
Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins slides across the pitch after scoring a goal.

Ollie has been on one this year. He had led the team to a 5-2-1- record so far. Watkins leads the team with 5 goals and also has 2 assists to go with it. All of this is on 11 shots on target, which also leads the team.
I really like this spot for Watkins to get involved. This is the 1st game back home in just about 3 weeks, which is always a huge boost, especially in soccer. He is coming off a UCL game where he didn’t record a point, but he did score in his last EPL game.
Bournemouth is the perfect kind of team for Villa to win nicely against. I think we see Villa win this game by 2-3 goals and Watkins is definitely going to be one of the reasons why they get those goals.

Bayer Leverkusen forward Florian Wirtz after scoring a goal.
Werder Bremen vs Bayer Leverkusen Prop: Florian Wirtz to Score or Assist (-140) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on BETUS for this pick
Wirtz has been on a tear this season and has emerged as a main player for Leverkusen. He has 4 goals and an assist in the Bundesliga so far this season. Florian has also been hot in the UCL.
In Leverkusen’s UCL game this week, Wirtz found the back of the net. He has scored 2 in a UCL game back in September as well. I like him this week coming off a game after scoring – confidence and vibes are high.
From an assist standpoint, he really can open up opportunities for guys like Victor Boniface. We’re going to pay the juice man a little here, but I think it will be well worth it in the end.

Barcelona rookie Lamine Yamal plays the field during a match.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona Prop: Lamine Yamal to Score or Assist (+145) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on Bovada for this pick
We’re taking a risk here, but we’re getting a lot of value on the play. Lamine Yamal is just a kid – yes that’s right, he’s only 17 years old and playing on the world’s biggest stage.
Yamal comes into this game with 4 goals and 6 assists on the year. You see that and say, “wow that’s a lot of value” – and you’re right, but then we see who they’re playing.
This will be the toughest match he’s played in in La Liga. Madrid is an absolutely powerhouse, but Barca is 1st in the league for a reason. I love Yamal to be involved and cash this plus money play.
