The latest installment of the Madrid Derby highlights the world football weekend calendar, with Real Madrid hosting Atletico Madrid on Saturday. Atletico are fourth in La Liga's table and will try to snap a six-match losing streak at Bernabeu (0-3-3). Real are in second place, but the reigning league champs trailed leader Barcelona by eight points entering the weekend. French Ligue 1 leader Paris Saint-Germain visit second-place Marseille on Sunday at 2:45 p.m. ET, and Newcastle and Manchester United square off in the English League Cup final earlier Sunday, at 11:30 a.m. ET from Wembley Stadium.

El Derbi kicks off Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET. Los Blancos are -120 favorites in Caesars Sportsbook's latest odds, with Atletico +370 underdogs.

All these games offer many 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 an 18-5 run on his soccer article picks for SportsLine, for a return of almost $900 for $100 bettors. He is 31-20-1 over his past 12 weeks of picks in this article, a run that includes hitting a parlay paying almost 9-1. Holliman also is 11-3 on Champions League predictions for SportsLine (+884) this year.

Holliman has scoured the soccer schedules for Feb. 25-27 and has found value in four best bets. If you combine these four picks into a parlay, you could earn a payout of more than 12-1 at Caesars Sportsbook! The first matchup in the parlay doesn't start until Saturday at 2:45 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 Liverpool to beat Crystal Palace (-135) on Saturday afternoon. The expert doesn't believe the Reds' second-half collapse against Real Madrid on Tuesday is cause for concern. Palace don't have the attack to make Liverpool pay for shoddy defense, and Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah have been dangerous together for the Reds.

Holliman has three other picks in his parlay that would pay more than 12-1. They include two CONFIDENT money-line plays that offer plus-money. 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 money-line plays should you include in a parlay that would pay more than 9121? ...
