What is the soccer Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or parlay that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our soccer bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What is the price of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (+100 or 2.0) and above.

Soccer Predictions Today: Friday's Expert Bet

Our Italian soccer betting expert offers their tip for Friday as Pisa and Atalanta clash in Serie A this afternoon at 2:45 pm ET (1/16).

Atalanta have made a really bright start to 2026. They should extend their winning streak at the Stadio Romeo Anconetani. Liam Rosenior’s first home game as Chelsea boss is a London derby. After a positive start, the new manager seems capable of avoiding defeat on his Stamford Bridge bow.

Visitors to extend flying start to 2026

Atalanta have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions. That includes three consecutive Serie A wins to kick off 2026.

Key to their recent improvement has been a solid defence. They’ve only conceded once in their last five league outings. Four of the last five matches involving Raffaele Palladino’s side have seen them win by 1-0 or 2-0 margins.

With Pisa struggling, this game could easily go the same way. I Nerazzurri have won just one league match all season. Incredibly, they’ve only scored one home goal, compared to 14 away.

90% of Pisa’s home Serie A fixtures have ended with under 2.5 goals in total. That suggests backing a low-scoring away win is the value pick here.
