Three soccer parlays for Friday and Saturday, from a +210 safer play to a +1848 long shot. Legs span the English Premier League, Serie A, La Liga and Liga MX, with generous prices flagged.
Friday and Saturday Soccer Parlay Picks: Man City Travel, Torino Value and a Long Shot
Four leagues, seven-plus fixtures with prices worth a look, and three parlays at very different risk levels. One note before we start: soccer moneylines are 3-way and settle on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count, so a draw loses any team-to-win leg.
Key Matches
- Aston Villa vs Manchester City (Saturday, 7:30 AM ET / 12:30 UK): City are 7-for-7 and top the English Premier League with 21 points and a +12 goal difference. Villa sit 12th on 8 points. City are -141 at DraftKings to win.
- Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest (Friday, 3:00 PM ET): Ipswich are 10th (3-0-4) and Forest are 18th (1-2-4). Ipswich at +220 is the longest home price of the weekend for a team above its opponent in the table.
- Torino vs Monza (Friday, 2:45 PM ET): Serie A's 13th-placed side hosts the 15th-placed side, and Torino is priced at plus money.
- Alavés vs Málaga (Friday, 3:00 PM ET): 7th-placed Alavés host last-placed Málaga, who are winless in nine La Liga matches.
- Rayo Vallecano vs Elche CF (Saturday, 8:00 AM ET): A mid-to-lower-table La Liga meeting with a short home price.
Parlay 1: The Safer Play (+210)
Manchester City ML + Alavés ML = +210
- Manchester City to win at Aston Villa, -141 (DraftKings): City have won all seven English Premier League games and have the best goal difference in the division at +12. Villa are 2-2-3 with a -4 goal difference. The price is short, but it is well inside our -250 limit.
- Alavés to beat Málaga, -123 (BetRivers): Málaga are last on 4 points with no wins in nine and a -12 goal difference. Alavés are 7th at +3 goal difference. Laying -123 on the home side against the league's worst record is reasonable. Remember a draw (+265 at DraftKings) sinks this leg.
Combined price: roughly +210, so a $100 stake returns about $310 in total.
Parlay 2: The Value Play (+502)
Torino ML + Ipswich/Forest BTTS Yes + Rayo/Elche Over 2.5 = +502
- Torino to beat Monza, +110 (DraftKings): Value flag. Torino are 13th (2-1-3) and Monza are 15th (1-1-4, -6 goal difference). A home side ranked above its visitor at plus money looks generous, since +110 implies only about 48 percent.
- Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest, both teams to score Yes, -164 (BetRivers): Both sides have a -4 goal difference and both lose more than they win. Ipswich are 3-0-4 and Forest are 1-2-4. That points to open, leaky play. The price implies about 62 percent, which is fair for a match between two struggling sides.
- Rayo Vallecano vs Elche CF, Over 2.5 goals, -128 (BetRivers): Rayo (14th, -5 goal difference) and Elche (18th, -6) both concede more than they score over the season. The data does not show their goals scored, so this leg is a lean rather than a lock. -128 is a modest price for it.
Combined price: roughly +502. All three legs come from different games.
Parlay 3: The Long Shot (+1848)
Ipswich ML + Atlante/San Luis Over 2.5 + Necaxa/Juárez Over 2.5 + Villa/City Over 3.5 = +1848
- Ipswich Town to beat Nottingham Forest, +220 (BetRivers): Value flag. Forest are 18th with one win in seven, and Ipswich are home and above them in the table. Forest are the favorite at +130 (Fanatics), which looks too generous to the visitors. The +220 implies only about 31 percent for Ipswich.
- Atlante FC vs Atlético San Luis, Over 2.5 goals, -143 (BetRivers): We have no Liga MX standings, so this leg rests on the market price alone. -143 implies about 59 percent for three or more goals.
- Necaxa vs FC Juárez, Over 2.5 goals, -175 (BetRivers): Same caveat on the lack of table data. The market leans clearly toward goals here at roughly 64 percent implied. This is the shortest price in the article but still well inside -250.
- Aston Villa vs Manchester City, Over 3.5 goals, +128 (BetRivers): Value flag. City lead the English Premier League with a +12 goal difference through seven games, and Villa are 2-2-3. Getting plus money on four or more goals in a match with a clear gap in class is attractive. The Under 3.5 side is -164, so the market does see this as the less likely outcome.
Combined price: roughly +1848, and all four legs are available at BetRivers. This is a small-stake ticket. A $10 bet would return about $195 in total.

How to Place These Parlays
All legs of a parlay must be placed at one sportsbook, and prices differ between books, so the combined payout will not match the best-price quotes above leg for leg. Use the parlay builder on BestParlayOdds to compare the whole parlay across sportsbooks before you bet. Check kickoff times in ET, because the Saturday matches kick off early in the morning.
Where to place these parlays
A parlay has to be placed at a single sportsbook, so the best price for each individual leg is not always available together. These are the live prices for each whole parlay at the sportsbooks that offer every leg.
| Parlay | Best price | Next best |
|---|---|---|
| Parlay 1 (2 legs) | Bally Bet +208 | BetRivers +208, Hard Rock Bet +204 |
| Parlay 2 (3 legs) | Bally Bet +502 | betPARX +502, BetRivers +502 |
| Parlay 3 (4 legs) | BetRivers +1847 | betPARX +1786 |
Shopping around matters: the gap between the best and worst sportsbook on these parlays is up to 14% of the profit. Prices move, so check the live comparison before you bet.
