Thursday’s elite soccer action features the EPL, where newly-crowned champions Liverpool take on Manchester City, as well as Italy’s Serie A and La Liga in Spain and all of our free soccer picks can be found on our homepage So let’s dive into the best bets for Thursday, July 2nd.
A parlay of three favorites looks the best way to turn a profit with two matches in England and one in Italy providing the plays of the day.
Tottenham Moneyline +100 @ Sheffield United
Tottenham’s EPL road record this season is nothing special at 3-6-6 but Jose Mourinho’s team can improve those stats on their trip to Sheffield United.
The Blades were enjoying a dream campaign when the season was suspended in March but since the restart, they haven’t scored a single goal in three league games and were dumped out of the FA Cup by Arsenal last weekend.
Mourinho has a glut of offensive options with England national team captain Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Steven Bergwijn, Dele Alli, Erik Lamela, and Lucas Moura all available for the north London club.
Favorites Spurs should be fresher than the Blades, having played two games fewer since the season resumed, and they can make that advantage count in Sheffield.
Liverpool Win or Draw Game Props -125 @ Manchester City
Manchester City’s road loss to Chelsea last week handed Liverpool the EPL title but bettors should not expect Jurgen Klopp’s men to ease up.
The Reds are on track to break City’s record of 100 points in an EPL season and they can at least avoid defeat at the Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool thrashed in-form Crystal Palace 4-0 in their last game before enjoying a break over the weekend while Pep Guardiola’s Citizens were in FA Cup action at Newcastle.
City has won only two of their last 14 league and cup meetings with Liverpool, who beat them 3-1 at Anfield last November, so the home favorites could be worth opposing.
Atalanta Moneyline +110 vs. Napoli
Whatever else changes in these uncertain times, Atalanta keeps scoring goals in Italy’s Serie A and after last weekend’s 3-2 road win over Udinese, their total for the season stands at 80 goals in just 28 games.
That scoreline probably came as a relief to Udinese, who lost October’s reverse fixture 7-1, and Atalanta has also put seven past Torino and Lecce this season.
Thursday’s opponents Napoli represent a step up in class but Atalanta’s fearless brand of offensive soccer makes them an attractive wager once again.
They beat championship contenders Lazio in the last game at their Bergamo base, where top-half teams AC Milan and Parma were both smashed 5-0 this season.
Napoli has taken advantage of an easy run of fixtures to rack up a five-game winning streak but they could be brought back down to earth by Atalanta’s irresistible offense.
