LAS VEGAS - Today’s edition of the Daily Sports Betting Preview once again circles the globe to find the best bets around.
First, the Preview checks out some prop betting opportunities in La Liga, the Spanish soccer league.
Then, the Preview examines some top-level tennis, in the form of the Matchplay 120 match today.
Finally, the Preview wraps up with some boxing odds that are sure to keep bettors on their toes.
There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started.
La Liga Prop Betting
Most soccer bettors take normal bets, like bets on the spread, or bets on the moneyline, but there are a ton of different bets that are also available on many soccer games.
For example, take today’s match between Sevilla and Real Betis, a genuinely interesting match in its own right.
Instead of looking at the spread and the moneyline, the Preview will take a look at some of the interesting prop bets available on this match.
Sevilla vs. Real Betis - Clean Sheet
- Sevilla +165
- Betis +350
These odds are the odds for either team to keep a clean sheet during the match - to not allow the other team to score even a single goal.
Neither team is favored to accomplish this, but Sevilla are far closer to even odds than Betis are.
Sevilla vs. Real Betis - Both Teams Score
- Yes -135
- No +105
This is a related bet to the previous one. This bet is a bet that both teams will score. The sportsbooks seem to think that it is likely that both teams score in this match, although not overwhelmingly so.
Sevilla vs. Real Betis - Red Card
- Yes +175
- No -215
This is a very simple bet, a bet on whether or not there will be a red card given in the match, resulting in a player being sent off.
This is a relatively rare occurrence, and the odds reflect this, with No being a heavy, -215 favorite, while Yes is a +175 underdog.
These are only a few of the prop bets available on this match on many of the major online sportsbooks, so soccer bettors should take note.
There are far more opportunities available than simply betting on the spread and the moneyline.
Tennis Matchplay 120 Betting
The Matchplay 120 is a truly welcome addition to the world of tennis betting in the post-COVID-19 world.
The basic idea of the Matchplay 120 is that there will be 120 matches played, each of which features top 300 players.
Many other tennis exhibition matches feature players who are fresh onto the scene, and not even ranked, or players whose rankings fall well into the thousands.
It should come as no surprise then that the Matchplay 120 Women’s match today is a great one, as Shelby Rogers faces off against Jessica Pegula.

Rogers is currently ranked 113th in the WTA singles rankings, while Pegula is ranked 80th.
Rogers has had a mildly worse year than Pegula so far, hence their rankings, as Rogers has raked in $91,852 in earnings so far this year, compared to Pegula’s $110,616.
The match looks to be a competitive one, with Pegula favored. The moneyline has Pegula as a -140 favorite, while Rogers clocks in with +120 odds.
On the spread, Pegula is -2, although there is some shading as well. Pegula -2 has -115 odds, while Rogers +2 has -105 odds.
The Over/Under line for the match is set at 20.5, which is not the most generous line. There is some shading on this line as well, however.
The Over has -136 odds and the Under has +116 odds. This is very significant shading, as a line of 20.5 genuinely does seem low for this match.
Overall, this looks to be an excellent match from both competitors, and from the standpoint of a tennis bettor, it is hard to find a more compelling match on the day.
Boxing Betting Odds
Boxing is not a subject that the Daily Sports Betting Preview touches on often, but there are a lot of smaller bouts available for action at many of the major online sportsbooks.
The odds on today’s bouts range from very even to extremely lopsided, so the Preview is going to take a look at one of each.
In the first highlighted match, Eric Mondragon takes on Mike Sanchez, in an extremely even fight, according to the sportsbooks.
Mondragon has +120 odds to take the fight, while Sanchez is favored with -150 odds.
Both of these fighters are relatively new to the game, with Mondragon debuting in April of 2019, while Sanchez debuted in November of 2017.
Sanchez’s experience seems to give him a mild edge in this fight, but his odds are nothing compared to the next fight to be highlighted in the Preview.
Luis Coria is set to face off against Adam Lopez, in a 10-round featherweight bout. Coria has his work cut out for him, according to the sportsbooks.
Lopez is a monstrous favorite in the fight, with -1500 odds to win the bout.
Coria, for his part, clocks in with +700 odds. Coria is young, only 21, and turned pro just after his 18th birthday.
Coria’s record is relatively impressive at 12-2, and seven of those 12 wins coming by way of knockout.
Lopez slightly edges Coria in terms of record, with a 13-2 record, but heavily outdoes him when it comes to the odds on the fight.
This is a really interesting situation, and boxing bettors should come to their own conclusions about what the implications of these odds are.
