Soccer is the most popular sport globally—no wonder the Game of Millions is in the most significant demand in bookmakers' offices. The competition in most national and club tournaments has reached a level where the outsider can easily beat the favorite and collapse bettors' bets.

To avoid soccer matches with hidden financial risks and make the best bet, we recommend reading soccer forecasts from the experts. And if you want to make money not by betting but by playing, live poker is a great solution.

EPL

EPL
The English Premier League season 2021/2022 promises to be the most interesting. Finally, in the EPL, there is no clear favorite. Reigning champion Manchester City failed to solve the problem with the center-forward, while the main rivals "citizens" are full of order in all lines.

Chelsea, winners of the European Champions Cup, signed one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Belgian Romelu Lukaku. It was the Blues' only weakness last season. However, Thomas Tuchel's charges were the best in Europe, even without the striker. Obviously, in 2021/2022, the Aristocrats will take a swing at winning the EPL, which they have not won since 2017.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United. The Portuguese's gift of literally attracting titles has given Red Devils fans reason to hope that the team will finish the new season with at least one trophy. MJ has not won the EPL since 2013, since the retirement of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Liverpool waited for a pair of crucial central defenders to return from the infirmary. However, Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip are back in action, meaning the Merseysiders can again blow away opponents in attack without looking back.

LA LIGA.
Atletico Madrid is well placed to defend last year's title in 2021/2022. Antoine Griezmann has returned to the Spurs, while Diego Simeone's main rivals Real Madrid and Barcelona have, at best, not deteriorated.

"The Catalans signed Memphis Depay, but even 10 Depay will not compensate the club for the departure of its long-term leader, Lionel Messi. For the last 12 years, Barcelona's game was built exclusively around the legendary Argentine. But Leo's star has prevented other equally talented players like Dembele and Coutinho from developing. So perhaps Messi's departure will benefit everyone.

"Real Madrid, on the other hand, did not make their biggest transfer on the coaching bridge. Tired of the greatness of Florentino Perez, Zidane has been replaced by Carlo Ancelotti, the old new coach of the "big" team. The Spanish specialist's task is simple: squeeze the last juices out of a squad that won three Champions Leagues between 2016 and 2018.

BUNDESLIGA
Predictions for the season in Germany are not challenging to make. Neither bookmakers nor reputable soccer analysts doubt that Bayern will win another champion's salad bowl without the slightest problem.

In recent years, Leipzig has slowly but surely made their way to the top of the Bundesliga. However, Munich saw a severe threat to the championship monopoly and quickly folded the RB project. Head coach Julian Nagelmann, central defender Dayo Upamecano, and midfielder Marcel Zabitzer moved to Bayern from Leipzig last summer.

The intrigue in Germany is all but dead. There are faint hopes that Borussia Dortmund will compete with the Munich side until the New Year. However, the Dortmund side still has their striker Erling Holland, which means that all is not so bad now.

SERIES A.
In Italy, Juventus Turin is expected to return to the throne. Firstly, Massimiliano Allegri, who led Juve to nine league titles in the past decade, has returned to the bench.

Secondly, Cristiano Ronaldo, the player who has made the Turin club no longer a unified mechanism, has left the team. The Portuguese have degraded all of the Old Lady's leaders, led by Paulo Dibala. Juve is now taking a step back to when the team lost no more than two matches per championship.

Champion Inter has torn apart in the offseason. First, Antonio Conte stepped down as head coach after learning of the impending sellout. Then, following the mentor, the team was abandoned by the leaders on the pitch in the form of Ashraf Hakimi and Romelu Lukaku. As a result, the Milan side is unlikely to defend the title.

Atalanta is ready to make a run for the title. Gian Piero Gasperini's men have strengthened their status as a grandee of Italian and European soccer in the past few years. However, the leaders are still with the team, so there is no easy way for the Blues-Blacks to exit the race for the title.

LIGA 1
A meteorite will stop Paris PSG from winning the French championship in 2021/2022. It is the opinion of all bookmakers and sports analysts. Some betting companies do not even accept bets on Mauricio Pochettino's team championship.

The reason for the lack of intrigue in Ligue 1 is the crazy transfer campaign of PSG. In the summer, the team came in:

  • Six-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi;
  • European champion and Euro 2020 best player Gianluigi Donnarumma;
  • Italian Inter Milan champion Ashraf Hakimi;
  • Sergio Ramos, four-time Champions League winner;
  • Liverpool's key player of the champions, Georginho Wijnaldum.

Other French clubs do not have the financial or purely athletic resources to fight against PSG. You might read here for more information.

CHAMPIONS' LIGA.
Chelsea's victory in the UEFA Champions League last season proved that predicting a future European champion in the autumn is extremely difficult. Before the 2020/2021 UEFA Champions League, the Blues were not even in the top seven contenders for the title, but in fact, they left no chance for the leaders of that ranking.

Bookmakers do not believe in defense of the title by the London club. Instead, experts believe that someone from the PSG-Manchester City pairing will reach the lugubrious cup after long seasons of suffering.

THE EUROPEAN LEAGUE

THE EUROPEAN LEAGUE
In Europe's second club competition, things will become more or less apparent when the third-placed teams in the Champions League group stage are known. For example, the quartet of AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, and Porto could well be hiding the future winner of the Europa League.

For now, at the stage of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, it is Napoli that stands out. The Neapolitans will quickly make the playoffs and compete for the trophy if Serie A does not force them to save resources.

QUALIFYING FOR THE 2022 WORLD CUP
The national teams' soccer will enjoy the 2021/2022 season with qualifying matches for the World Cup in Qatar. After the September cycle, all groups are going without a significant sensation. The favorites have all but secured their places at the Mundial, which means squads will rotate in the remaining qualifying games.

The number of unexpected results may increase, an unpleasant surprise for inexperienced bettors.
