Back again with another weekend packed of soccer. This week we're going to talk about some props and game bets. We'll go to the English Premier League, French Ligue 1 and La Liga.
The English Premier League has 4 games going off this weekend. We're going to talk about a prop in the Aston Villa vs Bournemouth match. Aston Villa will look to defend home field.
In Ligue 1, it is a packed Sunday with 6 games. Kylian Mbappe will go off for PSG as they take on Lyon at home. PSG leads the league, but both teams have been hot as of late, so this should be a good match.
The La Liga match of the day is Real Madrid vs Barcelona in the El Clasico. Both teams have won their last 4 matches coming into this match and are the top 2 teams in the league.
Let's get into the games, picks and odds.
Ollie Watkins celebrates after scoring a goal.
Aston Villa vs AFC Bournemouth Pick: Ollie Watkins to Score or Assist (-135) Get 50% up to $1000 Deposit on BetOnline for this pick
Ollie is the leader of this team on offense, and it shows. He has 19 goals and 10 assists on 43 shots on target this season. Aston Villa sits 4th in the table.
Facing a weak opponent at home is the perfect starting point for our play. Watkins is on a 2-game goal scoring streak with 3 goals in those 2 games. When these 2 teams met earlier this year, he scored a goal and assisted on another in the game.
We're going to pay the juice man a little bit here, but that's ok. I think Watkins is in the middle of getting hot and we're going to ride with the hot hand.

Kylian Mbappe looks down the field during the game.
Paris Saint-Germain vs Lyon Pick: Kylian Mbappe Anytime Goal Scorer + 2 Shots on Target (-129) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on BETUS for this pick
This should be a hard-fought match. Both teams come into this match on winning streaks and will look to continue them. Lyon has gone 4-1-0 in their last 5 matches and PSG is 2-3-0 in their last 5.
It's pretty simple here – we're going to back the powerhouse of the PSG team. Mbappe is having another memorable season as it will be his last with PSG. He has 24 goals and 6 assists so far this season on 54 shots on target.
He just scored twice in the Champions Leagues game the other day, breaking a 5-game no goal streak. I think at home he performs and carries the momentum from the previous game into this one.
Game Odds

- Paris Saint-Germain -240
- Tie +410

Barcelona's Raphinha fights for the ball against Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior.
Real Madrid vs Barcelona Pick: Both Teams to Score (BTTS) + Game Total Over 2.5 goals (-131) Get 50% up to $750 Deposit on Bovada for this pick
Battle of the bests in this game as the top 2 teams in the league face off in what is known as El Clasico. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona come in on 4-game winning streak.
We should see a tough matchup, but eventful game. I think we see both teams find the back of the net without a doubt. Both of these offenses rank in the top 2 of the league across almost every category.
The -190 for both teams to score is too much juice, so we're going to add in the game total over 2.5 goals. I think we see this game end in a 2-1 score. If not, then a 2-2 draw.
Game Odds

- Real Madrid -135
- Tie +290
- Barcelona +300
