The free picks on this page are what just missed the premium board for each handicapper. That means they are more like leans or strong selections than a high-rated winner.
If you want access to the higher rated plays, you are going to want to check out the premium soccer packages and long term subscriptions our guys have available.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. MLS Soccer Take Houston over San Jose (8:30 p.m. EST, Saturday August 29) We have been doing well with our free soccer picks, so let’s grab another winner this Saturday. San Jose was high in the MLS standings to start the season with nine wins in 10 matches, but they haven’t won since before the World Cup. Since June, they have five losses and a draw, with a goal differential of -14. They hosted another struggling side, Minnesota, on Saturday, and this was the worst loss yet, a 5-1 home loss. They gave up during that match, and that seemed like a spot where they might circle the wagons and give an inspired performance. But instead, it seems like they didn’t care. They have been plummeting in the standings, and we just don’t see them raising their level of play here on the road against Houston, the No. 2 side in the Western Conference. Houston has collected 22 points at home in 10 matches, with seven outright wins and a +6 goal differential. They have won 11 of 15 home meetings against San Jose. The Earthquakes have conceded at least a goal now in 17 straight matches, and the defense and goalkeeping has been dreadful and seems to be getting worse by the match. We think this number will rise as the match gets closer, so jump on this one early!

Picking the Right Soccer Handicapper
There are countless soccer matches and leagues across the globe, and each of our handicappers has their own approach. Some soccer experts concentrate on the English Premier League and other big European leagues exclusively, zeroing in on high-profile games. Others might pay closer attention to North American action like MLS, or find an edge in smaller international competitions.
Each handicapper also has a unique style – one might release only a few “best bet” picks each week (focusing on quality over quantity), while another provides multiple football betting tips per day across different leagues to maximize opportunities. Which approach fits you best will depend on your own betting philosophy and comfort level.
It’s important to choose an expert whose strategy aligns with your preferences. Even a great handicapper may employ tactics that don’t match your personal style, and blindly following picks that go against your gut can be uncomfortable (though sometimes a little discomfort means you’re avoiding a common bettor’s trap!).
To help you decide, we rank the top soccer handicappers by their long-term profit and consistency. In fact, our latest leaderboards show names like Juan Carlos Flores (over $12,000 profit), Hunter Price (around $6,000 profit), and Cole Faxon (about $4,000 profit) among the most successful soccer cappers to date.
Following a proven expert with a documented track record of success can give you an extra edge when you can’t crunch all the numbers yourself. You can always view the full list of best soccer handicappers on our site for up-to-date rankings and performances.
Improve Your Soccer Handicapping
We don’t just want you to follow our advice – we want you to become a better soccer bettor yourself. If you’re new to soccer betting (or sports betting in general), there’s a lot to learn about odds, strategies, and the nuances of the game.
Luckily, we offer resources to get you up to speed, including guides on understanding soccer odds and betting strategies. Take some time to learn the basics of soccer handicapping, from reading team form and injury news to recognizing how travel and scheduling can affect club performance.
Once you have the fundamentals down, you can start making more confident picks of your own and better appreciate the insights our experts provide. Betting on soccer – like any sport – is a long-term game, so staying disciplined and informed is key.
