Eyüpspor with a +1.5 handicap is the move here. I expect the visitors to keep things close against Beşiktaş, and that spread gives me plenty of breathing room at a solid 1.75.

Genoa host Ascoli in the Coppa Italia, and I’m backing the home side with a -1 handicap at 1.64. Playing in front of their own fans, they have every incentive to secure a convincing victory and advance without unnecessary drama.

Schalke can absolutely hold their ground here, so I'm backing them with a +1.5 goal handicap. Even though Real Madrid is the stronger side on paper, this is a preseason friendly, and those matches rarely turn into blowouts. Schalke will keep it tight and avoi…

Real Madrid with a -1.5 handicap against Schalke in this Club Friendly. That's the bet I'm backing — the visitors should cover that spread comfortably.

Newcastle may not be the side to beat here, and I’m leaning toward Strasbourg covering the handicap (0). At 3.44, the odds offer solid value if the visitors avoid a loss—draw or win both cash the bet. I’m not fully convinced the hosts can impose themselves, s…

I’m backing Villarreal with a handicap of 0 at 1.52. The gap in class is clear: Villarreal finished 3rd in La Liga last season with 72 points, while Racing are newcomers back in the top flight after 14 years away. Pre-season form also favors the visitors, wit…

Ajax -1.5 handicap in the Eredivisie clash against Heerenveen is the play. At 2.02, the odds are right for a comfortable home win by at least two goals.

Ajax against Heerenveen — I’m backing the home side to win by at least two goals tonight. The gap in class is too big for the visitors to keep it close, and at a price just over 2.0, this handicap offers real value. Plain and simple: Ajax cover the -1.5 sprea…

Barcelona’s lineup is nearly at full strength, and that’s why I see them cruising to a comfortable win here. Basel will probably get on the scoresheet at some point, but Flick’s side has more than enough firepower to put three or four past them. That makes th…

Barcelona rolls to a clean 0-3 win over Basel. Attacking football is expected on both sides, but I'm fully convinced Basel won't score — the Catalan side runs away with it. That's why the handicap of -1.5 on Barcelona at 1.72 looks like a straightforward call.

Barcelona face Basel in a friendly, and I’m backing the visitors with a -1.5 handicap at 1.76. Even in a preseason match, Barca’s quality gap should show—they have the attacking firepower to win by two or more goals against a Swiss side that isn’t at their le…

Arsenal's defensive setup is compromised with Saliba and Timber unavailable, which is a significant blow against a Manchester City side that has looked sharp in attack throughout pre-season. This is Enzo Maresca's official debut as City's manager, and the tim…

Sure, let's give Southampton a -1.5 goal handicap. They were looking sharp in their pre-season friendlies, and that form should carry into this Championship opener. Watford are going to have a tough time keeping up.
