Pickswise experts select their best soccer picks for Thursday’s elite European action. We select our best plays and suggest a soccer parlay for you to enjoy the midweek action. As always, please remember to gamble responsibly when following our soccer picks and predictions.
A parlay of two selections, siding with Eibar and Manchester United may prove a nice +207 winning ticket.
Eibar Moneyline vs Leganes +130
Leganes are in big relegation trouble and their La Liga status could look even more vulnerable after a road trip to take on Eibar at Ipurua.
They have a wonderful nickname – the Cucumber Growers – but not such a great soccer side despite winning 1-0 at Espanyol last time out. There were only five shots in the game and Leganes did not face the same kind of firepower which awaits them on Thursday.
Leganes were previously six without a win and scored zero in three of those matches, making it difficult to advise them to get anything positive against enterprising Eibar.
Bettors should instead focus on Eibar, who are better than back-to-back defeats suffered most recently. Since the restart, they have beaten Valencia and Granada and tied with Athletic Bilbao and Getafe.
Jose Luis Mendilibar could bring Kike and Charles back into the fold and land the win.

Manchester United Moneyline at Aston Villa -300
Manchester United are flying since the EPL restart with four wins and a decent tie at Tottenham in their five matches and they should be a lock at Aston Villa.
United have scored 13 in their last four games, three of which have been against clubs involved in the battle at the bottom in Norwich City, Brighton and Bournemouth.
The Red Devils, with Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes forming their very own famous five in Manchester, should have the attacking arsenal to beat an Aston Villa team in big danger of heading straight back to the Championship.
Dean Smith’s men have been terrible on defense all season, conceding 62 goals in 33 matches and are too reliant on Jack Grealish to provide them with moments of magic.
Villa have lost to Liverpool and Chelsea in recent times and United can be next on the hit list.
