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 133-134-1 on his soccer picks and has been profitable across multiple leagues, including the UEFA Champions League and German Bundesliga. He is 25-15 (+717) on UCL predictions over that span. Holliman also has hit four four-leg parlays in 28 weeks of this article, including his 9-1 play in the most recent edition before the winter breaks began.
Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Jan. 13-15 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of almost 13-1! 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 Holliman loves is Aston Villa vs. Everton Over 2.5 Goals (135) in their match Sunday at 9 a.m. ET. Each team has played one game over the past two weeks, and Holliman says "both will be motivated to return to league play with a positive result." Four of the past six meetings have gone over this total. Â
Holliman has three other plays in his parlay that would pay nearly 13-1, and one is a plus-money home favorite to win. If you combine the expert's 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.
