Three Saturday soccer parlays built from live odds: a safer Atlético Madrid, AS Roma and Barcelona combo, a Milan derby value play, and a +1140 FanDuel long shot.
Saturday's soccer slate is loaded, with a Milan derby, an English Premier League card and a full La Liga afternoon. Below are the three parlays we like most, built from live prices and the current league tables.
Key matches on Saturday's slate
A quick note on soccer moneylines: they are 3-way markets that settle on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties do not count, so a draw loses any team-to-win leg.
- AC Milan vs Inter Milan (Serie A, Sat 3:45 PM ET / 19:45 UK): Inter sit first on 22 points with a +13 goal difference and are unbeaten. Milan are fourth on 18 points, also unbeaten. Inter at +110 (BetRivers) as the road side is a price worth noting. The draw is +280 (Fanatics).
- Manchester City vs Brighton and Hove Albion (English Premier League, Sat 11:00 AM ET): City are first on 21 points. Brighton are third with a +16 goal difference, the best in the division. That points to goals at both ends.
- Levante vs Atlético Madrid (La Liga, Sat 9:00 AM ET): Atlético are second on 25 points. Levante are 14th with a -3 goal difference.
- Barcelona vs Alavés (La Liga, Sat 4:00 PM ET): Barcelona lead La Liga with nine wins from ten and a +29 goal difference. The moneyline is -769 (BetMGM), far too short for a parlay, so we look to the total instead.
- Udinese vs AS Roma (Serie A, Sat 1:00 PM ET): Roma are third and unbeaten. Udinese are 17th with a -9 goal difference.
Parlay 1 - Safer: Favorites and a Barcelona total (+344)
Safer parlay: Atlético Madrid ML, AS Roma ML, Barcelona-Alavés Under 4.5 (+344)
- Atlético Madrid ML at Levante, -154 (Hard Rock Bet): Atlético are second with eight wins and a +12 goal difference. Levante have won only two of ten and sit 14th. A 3-way price of -154 for a clear class gap is fair.
- AS Roma ML at Udinese, -164 (BetMGM): Roma are 5W-3D-0L with a +13 goal difference. Udinese have one win from eight and a -9 goal difference. Roma's draws are the main risk, but the gap in quality is large.
- Barcelona vs Alavés Under 4.5, -149 (BetRivers): Barcelona's +29 goal difference makes goals likely, but we are not paying a -769 moneyline to back them. Alavés are seventh with a +3 goal difference and have played in tighter games. Needing five or more goals to lose is a comfortable ask.
Combined price: roughly +344, built from three of the three best prices above.
Parlay 2 - Value: The Milan derby, goals and BTTS (+410)
Value parlay: Inter Milan ML, Manchester City-Brighton BTTS Yes, Tottenham-Crystal Palace Over 2.5 (+410)
- Inter Milan ML at AC Milan, +110 (BetRivers): This is our value flag. Inter are first on 22 points with the +13 goal difference, level with Lazio, and a plus-money price on the league leaders implies only about 48%. Milan are a good side, so the draw remains a live risk. We still think the price is generous.
- Manchester City vs Brighton and Hove Albion, BTTS Yes, -179 (Caesars): Brighton's +16 goal difference is the best in the English Premier League, and City have scored plenty, with a +11 goal difference. Both sides carrying that kind of output makes Yes the natural lean.
- Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace Over 2.5, -179 (BetRivers): Palace are 17th with a -10 goal difference, among the worst defensive records in the division. Tottenham are 14th and not a lockdown side either. The Over looks more reliable than a Tottenham moneyline at -189 (DraftKings).
Combined price: roughly +410. The legs come from three different games and two different leagues.
Parlay 3 - Long shot: Three plus-money home and road sides (+1140)
Long shot parlay: Celta Vigo ML, Brentford ML, Aston Villa ML (+1140)
- Celta Vigo ML at Rayo Vallecano, +210 (FanDuel): Celta are ninth with six draws from ten, a risk for any win leg. Rayo are 16th with a -8 goal difference from nine matches. A price of +210 implies about 32% and looks generous for the better side on the table.
- Brentford ML vs Nottingham Forest, +100 (FanDuel): Brentford are sixth, 2W-5D-1L, at home. Forest are 18th with one win and a -4 goal difference. Even money on the home side in that matchup is our second value flag.
- Aston Villa ML vs Fulham, +100 (FanDuel): Villa are ninth on 11 points and Fulham 15th on eight. It is a narrow edge, and Villa's -3 goal difference is not convincing. At even money we are happy to take it on a long shot.
Combined price: +1140. All three legs are FanDuel prices, so this one can be placed at a single sportsbook.

How to place these parlays
All legs of a parlay must be placed at one sportsbook, and prices differ between books. Combined odds above are built from the best price on each leg, so your actual payout may be lower if one book does not carry every best price. The parlay builder on BestParlayOdds compares the whole parlay across sportsbooks so you can see which one pays the most for your exact combination.
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 (3 legs) | Bally Bet +327 | betPARX +327, BetRivers +327 |
| Parlay 2 (3 legs) | Bally Bet +388 | betPARX +388, BetRivers +388 |
| Parlay 3 (3 legs) | FanDuel +1140 | Hard Rock Bet +1140, Bally Bet +1121 |
Shopping around matters: the gap between the best and worst sportsbook on these parlays is up to 10% of the profit. Prices move, so check the live comparison before you bet.
