Football enthusiasts worldwide can look forward to a busy schedule this Sunday, presenting numerous betting chances. Key players like Lionel Messi, Bukayo Saka, and Romelu Lukaku are set to feature in significant matches. Romelu Lukaku, aiming to continue his strong form, will be in action when Napoli faces Parma on Sunday.
Lukaku`s impressive league tally of 13 goals and 10 assists is a major factor in Napoli`s one-point lead over Inter Milan in the Serie A table. Betting odds favor Lukaku to contribute offensively, and Napoli is the money-line favorite for the match against Parma.
On the MLS front this Sunday, two local derbies are scheduled: Inter Miami vs. Orlando City SC and LAFC vs. LA Galaxy. With a wide selection of matches available for betting, sports expert Brandt Sutton has reviewed the odds to provide valuable picks for Sunday`s football action.

Brandt Sutton`s Sunday Football Picks:
EPL: Arsenal vs. Newcastle – Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
With both teams competing for a top-four spot, the match could be cautious, especially as a draw might suit both. Arsenal boasts the Premier League`s strongest defense, conceding only 33 goals this season. Historically, nine of the last ten encounters between these clubs have featured under 2.5 goals, a trend supported by experts for this Sunday`s game.
Serie A: Parma vs. Napoli – Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Napoli leads Serie A, largely due to their solid defense, having conceded only 27 goals in 36 matches. They have kept clean sheets in four of their last five league outings. Facing a Parma side that struggled offensively in their previous meeting, a low-scoring game is anticipated.
MLS: Inter Miami vs. Orlando City – Prediction: Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 goals
Both teams possess strong attacking capabilities, being among the highest scorers in the Eastern Conference this season. Orlando City has been prolific recently, scoring 11 goals in their last three games across all competitions, while Inter Miami`s recent defense has been leaky, conceding seven in their last two league matches. This suggests an open, high-scoring contest where both sides find the net.
MLS: LAFC to win vs. LA Galaxy
Despite being defending champions, the Galaxy have had a very poor start to the season, currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference without a win in their opening 13 matches. In contrast, LAFC has won six of their 13 games and are in good scoring form, netting two or more goals in their last four outings, including a recent dominant 4-0 victory. The Galaxy`s recent cross-country travel and loss also suggest potential fatigue.
