The sports world is clearly still suffering from a Super Bowl hangover because the normally jam-packed schedule does lack a bit of luster, at least if you ask me. Sure, other popular leagues continue with their regularly scheduled programming but I feel like the BIG events are lacking this week.
With that said, I decided to focus on the two biggest football leagues this week: Premier League and La Liga.
So, without further ado, here are my picks of the week followed by a couple of interesting sports betting promotions.
Jürgen Klopp is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season
1) Premier League Football
Liverpool is chasing its first league title since 2019/2020 and with head coach Jürgen Klopp already announcing he’s stepping down after the season, what a farewell gift it would be, right? It’s not going to be a walk in the park because both Man City and Arsenal are breathing down their neck.

Who Wants It the Most?
Man City’s killer striker Erling Haaland has missed 5 games this year due to injuries. Despite being away, he’s still leading the league in goals and surely wants to do everything in his power to steal the title from Liverpool. As always, it’s going to come down to who wants it the most.
All top 3 teams are playing this weekend and here are my picks:
Premier League picks of the week
Manchester United vs Fulham
⚽ My Pick – Man United ⚽
Odds: 1.57
AFC Bournemouth vs Manchester City
⚽ My Pick – Man City ⚽
Odds: 1.42
Arsenal vs Newcastle United
⚽ My Pick – Arsenal ⚽
Odds: 1.40
Wolverhampton vs Sheffield United
⚽ My Pick – Wolverhampton ⚽
Odds: 1.49
Stake Odds and Payouts
The above odds can be found at Stake and despite picking the favorites to win, there’s still a decent payout with a combined odds of 4.65x. If you want to keep your bet at a modest €20 or perhaps taking a bigger chance with €50, you will be looking at a potential payout of €93 or €232.
La Liga standings Feb 22
2) La Liga
While a fierce battle is taking place in England, Real Madrid seems to be running away with it in Spain. If Real is in the lead, you’d expect Barcelona to be right behind but instead, the far less known team Girona is holding onto the second place at the moment. Very interesting, right?
Let’s dive into my La Liga picks of the week.
Real vs Sevilla
Real Madrid vs Sevilla
⚽ My Pick – Real Madrid ⚽
Odds: 1.29
Barcelona vs Getafe

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano

⚽ My Pick – Girona ⚽
Odds: 1.65
Bc.Game Odds and Payout
For La Liga, I went with the odds at Bc.Game. This parlay has a pretty good odds of 10.29x, which could give you some nice change if all goes well. To give you an idea of what you could be looking at, a €20 bet pays €205, while a €50 bet will get you a juicy €514.
