October 24th: Friday’s European Double – 9/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With all of Europe’s elite turning their respective attentions back to domestic duties this weekend, we have a stacked Friday schedule from across the continent.

As Italian giants AC Milan hope to widen their buffer at the top of the Serie A table, we also have a real Premier League relegation six-pointer on our hands as Leeds welcome West Ham to Elland Road.

For those of you looking to stick on a Friday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive European betting tips which are available.

19:45 AC Milan vs Pisa

Enduring what was a public crisis last season and missing out on any kind of European adventure for this year, AC Milan opened up the 2025/26 campaign with a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders. However, despite getting proceedings underway with an infamous 2-1 loss at the hands of Serie A newcomers Cremonese on August 23rd, Max Allegri’s new squad have come roaring back in some style. Last seen marking their return from October’s international break with an eye-catching 2-1 victory against Fiorentina, the former Juventus boss has seen his squad receive a string of plaudits from across the continent. Signing off September with a sensational 2-1 win against defending Serie A champions Napoli, AC Milan are riding what has become a major wave of momentum. Including a routine 3-0 romp away at Udinese last month, Friday’s hosts have registered 16 points from their previous six showdowns against top-flight opposition. Leading the chase at the top of the Serie A table, Allegri’s men will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity here.

While Pisa might have only made their iconic top-flight return this season, it is no secret that Friday’s guests are widely regarded as a standout relegation contender this time around. Drastically failing to deal with the drastic leap up in opposition, Alberto Gilardino’s men will be bracing themselves for a monumental challenge this weekend. Heading into October’s international break with a nightmare 4-0 drumming away at Bologna, the Tuscany-based outfit sit rock-bottom of the Serie A standings. In fact, failing to win any of their first seven appearances and putting just three points on the board, Pisa have also gained a real reputation for their glaring issues in the final third. Watching their Coppa Italia campaign come to an end on September 25th as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Torino, Gilardino’s downbeat squad have now failed to find the net in any of their previous four consecutive outings across all competitions. Likewise, the leading relegation candidates have also drawn a blank in six of their last seven matchups.

20:00 Leeds vs West Ham 

Officially marking their Premier League return with a gritty 1-0 victory at home against Everton on August 18th, Leeds handed themselves a dream start to proceedings. However, with it once again speculated that Daniel Farke could find some mounting pressure on his shoulders at Elland Road, Friday’s hosts have failed to find any real fluidity since rejoining England’s elite. Despite landing a thumping 3-1 win away at fellow top-flight strugglers Wolves last month, that is the only victory that Leeds have registered from any of their previous eight appearances across all competitions. Suffering an infamous EFL Cup exit at the hands of Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday on August 26th, the former Norwich boss is more than aware that his squad faces a monumental relegation six-pointer here. Last seen putting in a worrying display as they slumped to a 2-0 loss away at Burnley, Farke will have a mounting headache over his side’s extended defensive struggles. Including a 2-1 defeat against Spurs prior to October’s fortnight interval, the Lilywhites have shipped a pair of strikes in their last three consecutive Premier League outings.

Putting in what was an embarrassing performance on home soil earlier in the week as they slumped to a deserved 2-0 loss against local rivals Brentford, West Ham find themselves at the heart of a public nightmare. Although new boss Nuno Espírito Santo might have only arrived in east London last month, the former Nottingham Forest manager has an almighty job on his hands. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny since opening up the new campaign, the Hammers are destined for yet another relegation scrap this year. Dealing with a string of issues both on and off the field, Friday’s guests have the feel of a club in crisis. Getting proceedings underway with a woeful 3-0 drumming away at Premier League newcomers Sunderland back on August 16th, West Ham have put just four points on the board and open Friday’s trip to Elland Road sat in the drop zone. Watching their respective EFL Cup adventure come to an action-packed end on August 26th as they slumped to a 3-2 loss away at Wolves, Santo’s new squad have also gained a reputation for their glaring defensive struggles.
