Monday football tips: Serie A clash should feature plenty of action
Your one-stop shop for all the best punts from our team of experts
Sheffield United's televised Monday-night clash with QPR has fallen by the wayside due to several positive Covid-19 cases in the Rangers camp but there are still some top-flight football fixtures from the continent to kick off the week.
Roma's journey to Spezia in Serie A and Cadiz's La Liga meeting with Granada are among the highlights, while there is also action from Portugal's Primeira Liga as Vizela visit Arouca.
Today's best accumulator bets
Bets to be placed by 7.45pm Monday
Over 2.5 goals in Spezia v Roma
Both teams to score in Cadiz v Granada
Arouca to beat Vizela
Toulouse to beat Rodez
Over 2.5 goals has landed in nine of Roma's 12 away matches in all competitions this season and the Wolves could play their part in a high-scoring game with Spezia. There should also be excitement in Spain as both teams have scored in Granada's last three games and the same bet may well land when they visit Cadiz.
Portuguese outfit Arouca have claimed ten of their 13 Primeira Liga points at home and are expected to have too much for a Vizela team who have picked up just three points on the road this season while Toulouse are second in French Ligue 2 and can account for Rodez.
The fourfold pays almost 10-1 with Hills.

Spezia v Roma
BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Monday
Spezia have conceded more goals per game than any other Serie A club this season and that lack of defensive resolve will encourage Roma. Jose Mourinho's men have looked ragged at the back on occasion too, however, so over 2.5 goals looks a solid bet.
Best bet
Over 2.5 goals
Cadiz v Granada
Premier Sports & LaLiga TV, 8pm Monday
Both teams have scored in nine of Granada's 15 La Liga games this season, including their last three, and the same bet looks worth a punt when they visit Cadiz, who have shown more attacking intent recently, scoring in five of their last six league matches.
Best bet
Both teams to score
Bet of the day
Arouca to beat Vizela 8.15pm Monday
The best bet of the evening could come from Portugal, where Arouca are a shade of odds-against to register a home victory over Vizela. The hosts have claimed ten points from their last five home matches – their only defeat came against champions Sporting – while Vizela are winless in ten and were beaten 4-1 at Braga last time out.
Goalscorer bet of the day
Spezia v Roma BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Monday
Tammy Abraham fired a double in the Europa Conference League on Thursday and can carry on his fine goalscoring form when Roma visit Spezia. The England man has claimed five goals in four matches and will be a focal point of the Roma attack should he start.
Best bet
Tammy Abraham to score at any time
Stat of the day
Spezia v Roma BT Sport 1, 7.45pm Monday
Spezia have conceded an average of 2.25 goals per game this season – the worst defensive record in Serie A.
