December 22nd: Monday’s European Double – 4/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

Now at the heart of a stacked festive schedule, some of Europe’s elite will be looking to steal centre stage on Monday night.

With the 2026 AFCON now officially underway and the action rolling onto Monday, Fulham will also welcome a resurgent Nottingham Forest to west London.

With matchups from the likes of England, Spain and Portugal pencilled in on Monday, we have taken a glance at some of Europe’s most eye-catching betting tips.

16:00 Panserraikos vs Levadiakos

Although Levadiakos might have found themselves in Super League limbo last season, Nikos Papadopoulos’ men have embarked on a real fairytale this time around. With the mood in their camp at a red-hot high, the Blue and Greens are remarkably scrapping it out at the top of the table and they have their sights firmly set on capturing an iconic European ticket. Last seen putting in a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 3-0 victory against AEL Larissa, Monday’s guests have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 11 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a purple patch that stems all the way back to September 27th. Smelling a golden opportunity here, the former Greek coach has also seen his squad continue to shine on their travels. Likewise, securing that stellar 5-2 win when they last met Panserraikos back on November 11th, they do hold a dominant record against the standout relegation candidates. In fact, Levadiakos have won all of their previous four straight meetings by an aggregate score of 10-2.

While Panserraikos might have eventually dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Super League status, the Lions find themselves at the heart of an infamous domestic crisis. Last seen putting in another nightmare display as they slumped a routine 3-0 loss away at OFI Crete, Gerard Zaragoza’s men sit rock-bottom of the table and are unsurprisingly regarded as a landslide relegation candidate this year. In fact, putting just five points on the board from any of their 14 Super League appearances, Panserraikos have lost all of their previous eight consecutive showdowns against top-flight opposition. Heading into November’s international break with a dramatic 5-2 defeat against Monday’s opponents, the Lions have also gained a real reputation for their glaring defensive struggles this season. Alongside a 5-0 at the hands of PAOK last month, Zaragoza’s side have already shipped 35 Super League strikes and comfortably hold the worst-defensive tally among Greece’s elite.

20:45 Benfica vs Famalicao

While Benfica might be seeking a real miracle in the race to recapture their domestic crown this season, Jose Mourinho’s men are enjoying what has become a stellar run of form. Last seen extending on their Taca de Portugal adventure as they secured a routine 2-0 victory away at Farense, the former Manchester United boss has now seen his squad win each of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-0. Collecting a heavyweight European scalp earlier in the month as they secured a 2-0 win against reigning Italian champions Napoli, Benfica are also unbeaten in all of their previous eight consecutive matchups – a run that stems back to November 5th. Breathing life back into their charge to book a Champions League knockout stage ticket, Mourinho’s side have also gained a reputation for their extended domestic success on home soil. Yet to suffer a single Primeira Liga defeat at the Estadio da Luz so far this season, the Eagles are rightfully installed as a standout contender on Monday night.

Watching their respective Taca de Portugal adventure come to a thumping end last time out as they slumped to a 4-1 drumming at the hands of Porto, Famalicao have continued to show some real inconsistencies since returning from November’s international break. Mustering just a single win from their previous four Primeira Liga appearances, Hugo Oliveira’s side have watched their European dreams take a dent over the past month. Facing what will certainly be a stern examination when they travel to Lisbon on Monday night, Vila Nova should also be concerned by a nightmare record in the Portuguese capital. Slumping to a routine 4-0 defeat when they last travelled to the Estadio da Luz for a Primeira Liga showdown back in January, they have lost all of their previous four trips to Benfica by an aggregate score 11-0. It should also be highlighted, Oliveira’s men have failed to register a single strike in Lisbon since way back in February 2020.
