The battle between sixth-place Lazio and No. 9 Napoli on Sunday at noon will have huge implications on the top-four race, with only three points separating fourth-place Fiorentina and No. 9 Napoli. In the German Bundesliga, fourth-place RB Leipzig visit third-place Stuttgart on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. ET.       Â
In France's Ligue 1, leaders Paris Saint-Germain have a chance to vanquish one of the teams clinging to hopes of catching them.

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 142-142-1 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 30 weeks of this article, including his 9-1 play just before the winter breaks began. He hit three of four picks last week.
Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Jan. 27-29 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 11 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 Nice to Win (-220) in Saturday's home matchup against Metz. The expert says this is pretty much a lock, with Nice coming unbeaten at home in Ligue 1 play and Metz on a five-match league losing skid.Â
