Monday football tips: Wolves hungry to maintain strong recent form

Molineux plays host to Monday night football in the Premier League with Wolves favourites to beat Everton, while La Liga surprise package Rayo Vallecano look to maintain their unlikely push for a Champions League spot at home to Celta Vigo.

Serie A's rock-bottom side Cagliari are at Bologna and in Sweden there is a chance for AIK to go to within one point of top spot if they overcome Halmstads.

Today's best accumulator bets

Bets to be placed by 6pm

AIK to beat Halmstads

Bologna to beat Cagliari

Wolves to beat Everton

Moreirense v Pacos both teams to score

Everton are missing key players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure and the result last time out when conceding five to Watford was dreadful.

Wolves are going well and can stay on track, while Cagliari's awful defence is why they are bottom of Serie A. Further woe awaits them at Bologna.

Both teams have scored in five of Pacos Ferreira's last seven Primeira Liga away games and can do so again at Moreirense, while Halmstads have failed to win eight of their last nine Allsvenskan games. AIK should get the important three points to keep them firmly in the title race.

The acca pays over 15-1 with Hills.

Wolves v Everton

Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, 8pm

Wolves have been going under the radar, but have taken ten points from the last 12 available and can add to Rafael Benitez's blues. Everton's good start has given way to some poor recent results and performances, including a thrashing at the hands of Watford last time out.

Player to be carded bet of the day

Wolves v Everton

Lucas Digne looks nicely priced at 7-2 with Betfair and Paddy Power to be carded against Wolves. He has been booked three times already this season and is averaging 2.6 tackles and 1.3 fouls per game. Wolves usually field tricky wingers who could entice attacking left-back Digne into defending more than he would like.

Raul Jimenez has netted in each of his four Premier League outings against Everton.
