Games are coming fast and furious as the world's top football leagues near their conclusions. Teams are running out of time to seize top-four spots or move out of the relegation zones. The English Premier League and Italy's Serie A both could see movement among the top five this weekend. 

In Italy, AC Milan and Roma are even on points and goal differential for the fourth spot, and they battle Saturday at Stadio Olimpico. Inter Milan are two points behind them and host second-place Lazio at San Siro on Sunday at 6:30 a.m. ET. In the EPL, Manchester United are six points ahead of their nearest pursuers, but one of those is Aston Villa, who visit Old Trafford on Sunday (9 a.m. ET). The other is Tottenham, and they visit Anfield on Sunday (11:30 a.m. ET) to face Liverpool, who are one point behind them.

The AC Milan vs. Roma match kicks off Saturday at noon ET. Both teams are priced at +175 on the money line, and a draw is listed at +200 in the latest soccer odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Inter are -125 favorites over Lazio, while Manchester United (-129) and Liverpool (-200) also are favored at home.

All of these games offer numerous opportunities for bettors, and the paydays can be even bigger if you combine your favorite picks into a parlay. Before you make any soccer picks or parlays, you really have to see what soccer expert Jim Holliman has to say.

Holliman has been a writer and editor for nearly 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.

The expert is on a 12-4 heater (+5.64) over his past two weeks of picks for SportsLine, a run that includes hitting a parlay of almost 11-1 in this article. He also is on a 17-9 run (+8.79) on his Champions League picks this year, bringing a profit of nearly $900 for $100 bettors. He and is 53-49-1 on his soccer article picks overall in 2023.

Now, Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for April 29-May 1 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these four picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of almost 12-1 at Caesars Sportsbook! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 3 p.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 Lazio vs. Inter Milan Under 2.5 Goals (-140). Inter don't allow goals at home and Lazio haven't found many in away matches, so this should be a defensive battle. Both teams have consistently hit Unders, and the expert expects the same here.     

Holliman has three other picks in his parlay that would pay almost 12-1. They include a CONFIDENT best bet on the goal total that would pay plus-money in one of the weekend's key matches. 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.

So which teams are MUST-BACKS on this weekend's soccer schedule? And which plus-money over/under play should you be sure to include in a parlay that would pay almost 11-1? ...
