Top Soccer Betting Picks This Week: France Ligue 1, Ireland Division 1, Austrian Bundesliga Odds & Predictions

I will be here every week to break down my three favorite plays from the smaller soccer leagues around the world.

There’s tons of value in the hundreds of smaller leagues that can be very profitable when it comes to soccer betting. So, let’s jump in and take a look at some of my favorite picks and predictions for this week!

Ireland Division 1 Betting Odds

Cork City vs. Athlone Pick: Cork City Clean Sheet | -130 at DraftKings

Friday, August 5 | 2:45 p.m. ET

Cork are currently in a battle with Galway for the automatic promotion spot in Ireland Division 1 league. Cork lead their rivals by 1 point with a game in hand and take on bottom of the table Athlone. Cork have an amazing 46:10 goal difference in 22 matches and have only allowed 4 goals all year at home. This has all the makings of a blowout win.

Austrian Bundesliga Betting Odds

Hartberg vs. RB Salzburg Pick: Salzburg -1.5 | -125 at DraftKings

Saturday, August 6 | 1:30 p.m. ET

Salzburg are the longtime powerhouse of the Austrian league but slipped up in Week 1 against Sturm Graz with a 2-1 loss.

Look for Salzburg to bounce back with a 3- or 4-goal effort to get the train back on track. Salzburg have faired very well against Hartberg, winning the last three head-to-head matchups and holding Hartberg scoreless in every contest. 

France Ligue 1 Betting Odds

Clermont Foot vs. PSG Pick: PSG Team Total Over 2.5 | -130 at DraftKings

Saturday, August 6 | 3 p.m. ET

This superstar team led by Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar kickoff the new French campaign on the road.

PSG loves playing Clermont, having won both matchups last season by a combined score of 10-1.

PSG should once again run away with this league — starting with a blowout win against the below-average side.
