I am focusing on Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks this week. Top European soccer returns this weekend from the October international break, so Sports Hub will be providing picks across the top Euro leagues.
Last week, I took a look at CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers predictions. I went 2-1 for my picks and managed to land a +224 draw! 50% of my most recent Euro soccer picks came in, so I am in decent form at the moment.
Head on over to my handicapper page, Ashlee Kiddell, to find all of my upcoming soccer picks. I have also made five selections for the ZOZO Championship if you are interested in golf as well. Are you ready for Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks? Let’s get into it!
Euro Soccer Top Leagues – Recap
Premier League
I didn’t select any Premier League matches in my last Euro soccer picks article. However, we have a dedicated weekly piece that specifically takes a look at Premier League predictions, so you need to check that out!
It’s an exciting battle in England at the moment, and champions Manchester City have lost their last two league games in a row! Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal currently lead the pack. Be sure always to check our Premier League Report each week.
Ligue 1
Ligue 1 Matchday 8 picks were the theme of the latest Euro soccer picks article. I went 1-1 from my two Ligue 1 selections. I selected under 2.5 goals in the Metz vs Nice match, which came in after that encounter ended 1-0 for the visitors.
However, my first half over 1.5 goals total pick for the Reims vs Monaco match failed to come in. Let’s see if any French top-flight selections make it in my article this week.
La Liga
I have recently identified La Liga as a profitable league to target when it comes to overs. I had one pick from Spain in the latest picks article, which came in from the Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad match.
The over 2.5 goals selection landed as the hosts ran out 2-1 winners. My latest Euro soccer review highlighted La Liga overs as a common betting trend once more. Stay tuned to find out whether I can find any suitable matchups this weekend.
Bundesliga
I targeted a single Bundesliga match in my most recent Euro picks, but I made two selections for the Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. Mainz game. The over selection came in, but I also had Gladbach to win, which didn’t land as the match ended 2-2.
Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have been superb thus far, whilst Stuttgart are a surprise package near the top of the standings through seven rounds. Overs are a recurring theme in Germany, so I will be looking at those once again in my Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks.
Serie A
Although Ligue 1 and Serie A are usually good values for under, we saw plenty of goals in those two leagues during the last round of games. Nevertheless, the most common trend is usually not to see too many goals.
My only Serie A pick didn’t land last week, but I will scour the matchups once more this time around to see if there are any suitable selections.
The only winner it could be… Serhou Guirassy! 🏆✨

Euro Soccer Top Leagues – Bundesliga Matchday 8 Picks
My Euro soccer weekly review and Euro soccer top leagues picks should be used in tandem when highlighting the best predictions each week. For example, Bundesliga and La Liga overs appear to be a common trend so I will be looking at those markets for this week’s picks.
I can learn from my past mistakes and successes in order to continue improving each week. That is a great method to become a triumphant soccer bettor. Moreover, I find it incredibly important to utilize the research from my weekly review. The research has identified Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks as a reliable source.
This week, I will be focusing on Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks. I have also picked out a few selections from the rest of Europe’s top five leagues, so check those out below as well.
Bundesliga Matchday 8 Picks – Union Berlin vs Stuttgart Prediction
Looking to get back on track following a poor start to the campaign, Union Berlin welcomes in-form Stuttgart to the capital on Saturday. Here are the current odds for the first of my Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks:
- Union Berlin (+143)
- Draw (+240)
- Stuttgart (+170)
It appears as though the home side have been struggling to replicate last season’s incredible form and featuring in the Champions League could be hindering their domestic performances too. Union Berlin has just six points from their opening seven games.
The same cannot be said for visitors Stuttgart, however, since they currently sit in second place after a fantastic opening to the season. They have won their last five successive Bundesliga matches.
I have found a good value selection for this match, which I feel confident about. I like the price that the bookmakers are offering. Sign in to Sports Hub to find out my pick.

Bundesliga Matchday 8 Picks – Hoffenheim vs Frankfurt Prediction
Next up for my Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks sees Hoffenheim take on Frankfurt at PreZero Arena. Check out the latest odds for the match:
- Hoffenheim (+107)
- Draw (+245)
- Frankfurt (+225)
It has been an incredibly promising start to the season for Hoffenheim as they sit in fifth, registering 15 points from their opening seven matches. They have won five of their last six Bundesliga outings, too, so enter this one in great shape.
As for the away side, they have had a fairly mediocre opening to the campaign. Despite sitting just three places below their opponents, they have picked up just ten points from their seven outings.
Money line odds look to be offering decent value for this match, so I will be picking from this market. Sign in to Sports Hub to find out what I’m going for.

Alternative Euro Soccer Top League Picks
I have made just two selections for my Bundesliga Matchday 8 picks. Although the German top-flight is certainly a profitable league to target, the bookmakers are adjusting their prices. That means it is becoming increasingly harder to find the most valuable selections.
However, I have found three selections from alternative Euro soccer leagues for the rest of my picks this week. Of course, La Liga has been another profitable league to target so I have made some predictions for the Spanish games.
Finally, I have also returned to the Premier League for my last pick. Check out the games and analysis below.
La Liga Matchday 10 Picks – Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
I head on over to La Liga now for my picks as Celta Vigo meets Atletico Madrid at Estadio de Balaidos. Let’s take a look at the current moneyline odds for the match:
- Celta Vigo (+230)
- Draw (+235)
- Atletico Madrid (+109)
Atletico Madrid has looked strong this season and sits in fourth despite having played a game less than most of the league. They defeated rivals Real Madrid last month and are currently on a run of five successive victories across all competitions.
However, hosts Celta Vigo have struggled and have just one win across their nine league matches thus far. They have seen plenty of goals go in at both ends of the pitch of late, and both teams have scored in their last four straight outings.
The over 2.5 goals price is at +100, so I am backing that in this match. Atletico has seen over 2.5 goals in 75% of their matches this term, and I can see it coming in again here.
Best Bet: Celta Vigo vs Atletico Madrid Over 2.5 Goals (+100)
La Liga Matchday 10 Picks – Sevilla vs Real Madrid Prediction
I have found another La Liga selection I like, as Sevilla plays host to league leaders Real Madrid on Saturday. Here are the latest odds for the game:
- Sevilla (+290)
- Draw (+265)
- Real Madrid (-122)
Sevilla is not performing well so far this term and currently occupies a spot down in the bottom half of the standings. They have just two league victories thus far and haven’t won any of their last three in all competitions.
Los Blancos are the current league leaders and have responded magnificently after losing away to rivals Atletico last mont by winning all four competitive outings since. Jude Bellingham is leading the charge for Real Madrid and currently tops the goalscoring charts.

Premier League Matchday 9 Picks – Nottingham Forest vs Luton Town Prediction
My final alternative selection of the week comes from the Premier League as Nottingham Forest takes on Luton Town at the City Ground. Below are the current odds for the affair:
- Nottingham Forest (-159)
- Draw (+265)
- Luton Town (+420)
Forest have been steady to open the new season and have picked up nine points from eight matches. Despite being without a win in their last four games, they have suffered just one defeat over that period.
Premier League new boys Luton would always struggle after being promoted last term. However, they currently sit outside of the bottom three with four points on the board and managed to defeat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park last month.
