Manchester United at Watford (Saturday, 12:30 p.m. ET, NBC)
Man Utd Odds: +330
Watford Odds: -107
Draw Odds: +266
Over/Under: 2.5 (u-120)
Watford have been the most surprising club in the Premier League and are tied atop the table with Liverpool and Chelsea, all with perfect 4-0-0 records. Another win in a home match at night against a prestigious club like Manchester United could propel them to special things this season.
The Red Devils got off to a slow start this season but they played a solid first half against Tottenham despite losing, 3-0, and then bounced back nicely to win at Burnley, 2-0.
It hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing for Jose Mourinho and company, but he may be able to right the ship with a favorable schedule coming up.
This weekend won’t be easy, though, and public bettors have diverted their love from Manchester United to Watford. In a typical year, this matchup would see more than 75% of bets on Man United, but Watford’s early success has pushed it down to just 56% for Saturday.
The draw is one of the most unpopular bets of the weekend but there’s plenty of value at +266 odds, especially with movement toward under 2.5 goals. The moneylines on both Watford and Man United are too good for public bettors to pass up, but I’ll be rooting for a stalemate.
The Bet: Draw (+266)

Betting odds: Wolfsburg vs. Hertha Berlin
Wolfsburg moneyline: +113
Hertha Berlin moneyline: +278
Draw: +213
Over/Under: 2.25 (+106/-129)
Kick-off: Saturday, 9:30 a.m. ET
Channel: Fox Soccer Plus, Fubo TV
While all eyes will be on champions Bayern’s match with Bayer Leverkusen in a repeat of last month’s German Super Cup, the best prices in the Bundesliga betting this weekend can be found elsewhere, starting with an early top-of-the-table clash. Wolfsburg and Hertha Berlin are the only sides other than Bayern to have won each of their first two matches this season, so something has to give this weekend.
It’s a match, however, that the bookies strongly feel will be a low-scoring affair, perhaps in part to the visitors’ back-to-back clean sheets thus far.
However, historically meetings between the two at the Volkswagen Arena have been very entertaining indeed, with the hosts in particular enjoying great success in front of goal.
The Wolves have scored in each of their last nine home games against Hertha, and at least twice in eight of said matches.
All in all, there have been 38 goals across those meetings (more than four per game), meaning there’s a lot of value on the over 2.25 — even more so with both of these sides getting off to a strong start in front of goal thus far.
Bet: Over 2.25 goals
