Sunday, February 1st
There are four more EPL matches on the cards for Sunday.
Here’s the full Premier League schedule:
Aston Villa vs. Brentford
Man United vs. Fulham
Nott Forest vs. Crystal Palace
Tottenham vs. Man City
Biggest moneyline favorites (approximate):
Man United (-175)
Man City (-135)
Nott Forest (+105)
Aston Villa (+110)
Notes for the upcoming slate:
— We can feel a lot better about targeting Manchester United in general now. The Red Devils have looked much improved under temporary manager Michael Carrick, who used to play for the club. Bruno Fernandes is a fantasy monster and has a great chance of continuing his stellar season at home to Fulham.
— Morgan Rogers is another player who stands out, even though we don’t usually like picking on Brentford. It’s a smaller slate, Villa will be at home, and Rogers has been extremely dangerous going forward this season.
— As you can see by the odds above, there aren’t expected to be any hugely lopsided games. Man City, for example, faces a tough fixture away to Tottenham, so we don’t have quite as much interest in the likes of Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki this weekend.
Top Targets
A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate

Soccer Props Today – Champions League Picks & Analysis
For each main UCL slate, we will break down the matches and pick out our favorite soccer player props.
Wednesday, January 28th
We have an absolutely mammoth UCL slate on Wednesday. Let’s look at everything from a DFS and betting perspective for what should be a great day of soccer.
Biggest moneyline favorites (approximate):
Arsenal (-3000)
Liverpool (-1000)
Barcelona (-800)
Man City (-450)
Atletico Madrid (-350)
Bayern Munich (-185)
PSG (-160)
There are a huge amount of games, and there should be a lot of rotation for certain teams that have already qualified or been eliminated from the competition.
Some of the most popular UCL plays on Underdog at time of writing:
Top Targets
A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate
Viktor Gyokeres — The Gunners are the biggest favorites of the day at home to Kairat Almaty. They just lost to Man United at home, but overall, they’ve been excellent throughout the Premier League and Champions League campaigns. Gyokeres, if in the starting 11, has a great chance of at least one goal in this favorable matchup at the Emirates.
Mohamed Salah — It’s been a rough season for Liverpool so far, but we do anticipate a better result at home to Qarabag. While he hasn’t been nearly as dominant this season, Salah is still the best attacking player the Reds have, and we expect him to be in the starting 11 here.
Lamine Yamal & Raphinha — This Barcelona duo has been scary good, and both are strong targets once more at home against Copenhagen.
Julian Alvarez — Alvarez has been a force to be reckoned with ever since he joined up with Atletico, and today’s matchup is favorable at home to Bodo/Glimt (Atletico -350 ML). The playmaker does basically everything for the club going forward: he’s involved on penalties and set pieces and is one of the best chance-creators in the world.

Wednesday, January 21st
The UCL continues full steam ahead on Wednesday.
Here’s the schedule:
Galatasaray vs. Atletico Madrid
Qarabag vs. Eintracht Frankfurt
Atalanta vs. Ath Bilbao
Bayern Munich vs. Royale Union
Chelsea vs. Pafos
Juventus vs. Benfica
Marseille vs. Liverpool
Newcastle vs. PSV
Slavia Prague vs. Barcelona
Biggest moneyline favorites (approximate):
Bayern Munich (-900)
Chelsea (-750)
Barcelona (-300)
Newcastle (-280)
Juventus (-140)
Some of the most popular UCL plays on Underdog at time of writing:
Top Targets
A quick overview of our top player picks for the upcoming slate
Bayern Munich Attack — Bayern is in the best team situation of the slate at home to Royale Union. Harry Kane has been a goalscoring machine, but don’t forget about Michael Olise, Luis Diaz and Lennart Karl, all of whom have been producing at a high level.
Raphinha — Lamine Yamal is suspended for Barcelona, though it looks like Raphinha will be in the starting 11. He’s one of the most exciting talents in the world and is capable of creating chances for himself and others. Raphinha has seven goals and three assists in 12 La Liga matches (10 starts) this season and had 13 goals and eight assists in 14 UCL appearances last term.
Chelsea is another team we’ll likely want heavy exposure to, but there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the expected lineup. We’ll update this space when teams are out, but Cole Palmer would be a strong play if he ends up starting.
Post-Lineups Update
We recommend waiting until starting 11s are released before finalizing picks. Check back to this space later for updated plays and analysis.
All players mentioned besides Cole Palmer are starting.

Soccer Props & Betting Strategy Tip: Understanding Odds
Just like in other sports, it’s important to understand the macro game environment in soccer. If a team is heavily favored, such as Manchester City against a weak Premier League opponent, that squad is likely to control possession and create a lot more scoring chances.
Understanding team dynamics and who will be in the best opportunities to succeed and fall short of the mark will help you narrow down your favorite soccer props and betting picks.
