With the NBA being on break for All-Star weekend, football being over, and a light NHL slate of course I had to head across the pond for a full slate of European soccer. I have a few of my best bets from across European lower league soccer so we can continue to cash while the other guys take a break. So, as always let's dig in.

Lower League Lowdown: Weekend Best Bets In European Soccer

From Leicester City's winning streak to England League One clashes, these expert picks guide your strategic choices for an exciting weekend on the pitch.

Leicester City vs Middlesbrough Saturday, February 17 at 10 am EST

Leicester City has been on a tear recently. Currently on a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions, winning five. They just had a midweek win versus a formidable Sheffield Wednesday team, which should see them full of confidence when taking on this Middlesbrough side currently sitting in 13th place in England's Championship division. Leicester City have also been a goal-scoring machine.

They have hit over 1.5 team total bet in their last four games in a row and in seven out of the last eight games when playing at home.? They have also only allowed their opponent to score more than one goal just once all season when playing at home.

This Leicester City team is in first place in the Championship league for a reason. I think we are getting great prices on both of the following best bets against a weak side in poor form. Ride with Leicester City for a dominant home win.

Best Bet: Leicester City -1 (-102) and Leicester City team total over 1.5 (-160)

Bolton vs Charlton Saturday, February 17 at 10 am EST

We head to England League One for our next lower league lowdown, weekend best bet as third place Bolton takes on bottom feeders, 20th place Charlton. When playing at home Bolton is just a different kind of animal.

Only losing three times in 16 home games (winning 11) they not only score a lot of goals but keep their opponents quiet. Half of their last eight games have seen them keep clean sheets.

In addition to all these stellar stats Bolton has also eclipsed their team total over 1.5 in half of their home games ( eight out of 16 games).

This Charlton team doesn't have anything going for them. They don't score much, they don't play well on the road, and they are running into a buzzsaw facing Bolton at home. Make the smart play and lay it with Bolton.

Best Bet: Bolton -1 (+105) and Bolton team total over 1.5 (-160)

Want More?

Do you want more soccer action from me? How about the NBA, the NHL, or any other sport you can think of? Then follow me and the rest of the BallisLife Bets team.

My Lower League Lowdown, weekend best bet bonus pick is Liverpool and OV 1.5 Goals (-125). Liverpool has been dominant all season long and are taking on a Brentford team who have lost seven out of their last nine matches and seven of them also featured three or more goals. Lay it with Liverpool in a game that should see goals.
