Reasoning

I won't do this every time but all the picks are above and here's my reasoning for each for those who want to learn! Not in the way of the picks but still here! Not doing crazy long reasonings but enough to hopefully help y'all decide if you want to join! 

Melbourne City ML:  

Melbourne City is without a doubt the best team in A-League - sorry to my Brisbane fans. MC is a part of the same group that owns Manchester City so it makes sense. The talent on this team is unreal and they're coming off an extremely rare draw. Jamie will be looking to return on the scoresheet and this is a game that could see a pen with how damn cagey Roar plays. Expecting a 2-1/ 2-0 kind of game here.

Brighton over 1.5 TT.

I think Brighton will obliterate Leicester. I don't hate the ML line either but I will take TT over ML anyday. Leicester has decent enough attack but just can't wake up post WC break. It's kind of a weird waiting game for Leicester of "Will they start scoring again or just give up". Meanwhile Brighton under new management in De Zebri has been ELITE. Score prediction 3-0

Salernitana v Napoli. Napoli -1.5 goals.

Napoli played the "best defense" in Serie A a week ago and put 5 past them. They then proceded to get knocked out of the Coppa Italia by THE WORST TEAM IN ITALY. I don't care if it's a cup game. I don't care if it was their backups, I don't care if they didn't want to try. That's freaking embarassing. We should see a straight up violent squad out of Napoli here, especially considering Salernitana just conceded 8 goals last game.Score Prediction 4-0/4-1

Braga 1.5 TT. 

This is super juiced. I know that's not for everyone but Braga 1.5 TT is a golden bet and pacos is dead last in the league. Braga could do some slight rotation here because they are that much better, which is why I lean over 1.5 TT instead of 2.5 TT in case they pull back a but. But I still think they knock 2 in. They just came off a kinda goofy win against Boavista 1-0, but need to keep winning to stay in the running to benfica. Score prediction 3-0/ 2-1

Real Betis DNB

Betis had a pretty rough start to the season, and even with a rough start are still in 6th. They played a good chunk of the season without some of their best attack and they finally ahve a healy roster baqck. Espanyol is no joke and are finding their form with only one loss in their last five, but they honestly weren't playing good teams and had some messy games. Betis is finally at damn near full strenght and its time to hustle to get back to the top four where they belong. 4-6 on the table are all tied with 28 points at the moment, so points are big for the lads! DNB to be safe but I think they win outright. Score prediction 2-1
