December 16th: Monday’s European Double – 5/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With Monday’s schedule underlined by West Ham’s trip to a high-flying Bournemouth, we have a handful of intriguing battles on the cards from across European.

Watching Inter Milan travel to historic rivals Lazio for a heavyweight Serie A showdown, we also have fixtures from the likes of Greece, France and Portugal.

For those of you looking to stick on a Monday flutter, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing European betting tips.

20:00 Bournemouth vs West Ham

Mounting a sensational last-gasp comeback away at Ipswich last week as they eventually left Portman Road with a 2-1 win, Bournemouth have continued to receive a string of plaudits this season. With the mood around the Vitality at a red-hot high, Andoni Iraola’s side are even dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine European charge. Signing off November with an action-packed 4-2 victory away at Wolves, the former Rayo Vallecano boss has seen his squad win all of their previous three Premier League appearances by an aggregate score of 7-3. Making a famous statement last month as they claimed a 2-1 win against defending champions Manchester City, Bournemouth are riding a sensational wave of momentum. Looking to lay down another marker here, the Cherries will also be excited to make a return to home soil on Monday night. Including a 3-1 victory against bitter local rivals Southampton on September 30th, Iraola’s men have collected 12 points from their last five Premier League showdowns at the Vitality.

Although West Ham might have dragged themselves to an essential 2-1 victory against Wolves last week, Julen Lopetegui still has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders. Signing off November with a woeful 5-2 defeat at the hands of local rivals Arsenal, the Hammers almost find themselves sat in Premier League limbo. Coming under plenty of scrutiny earlier in the month as they fell to a 3-1 loss against Leicester, Monday’s guests have also continued to show some extended defensive issues. Despite springing a real upset on November 25th as they clinched a 2-0 victory away at Newcastle, West Ham have shipped nine goals in their previous three Premier League appearances. Despite snatching a 1-1 stalemate when they travelled to the Vitality last season, Lopetegui’s men do hold a downbeat record on the South Coast. In fact, the Londonders have recorded just a single win from any of their previous six trips to Bournemouth – a run that’s stems back to January 2016.

20:15 Porto vs Estrela Amadora

Although Porto might have shown some worrying issues on either side of November’s international break, the Dragons certainly claimed a welcomed boost last time out. Collecting a 2-0 win against Danish outfit Midtjylland while in Europa League action, Vitor Bruno’s men will be desperate to use that gritty performance as a platform to build on. Now mustering seven points from their previous three appearances across all competitions and at the heart of a title scrap, Monday’s hosts will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity at the Estadio do Dragao. Notching a fifth Europa League strike of the season last week, attacking talisman Samu Aghehowa will play a leading role here. Enjoying what has become a sensational flurry since arriving from Atletico Madrid over the summer, the 20-year-old has registered 10 Primeira Liga goals in as many appearances. Likewise, the Spanish international has found the net in each of his last three consecutive appearances across all fronts.

Mounting what was a crucial second-half comeback against Arouca last time out as they eventually dragged themselves to a 2-1 win, Estrela Amadora are desperate to drag themselves away from another Primeira Liga relegation scrap. However, crashing out of the Taco de Portugal last month as they fell to an infamous 7-0 drumming at the hands of Benfica, Jose Faria’s side will be bracing themselves for another monumental challenge on Monday night. Pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender here, the Amadora-based outfit have continued to show some glaring issues on the road. Falling to a 5-1 defeat against local rivals Sporting Lisbon on November 1st, Estrela have lost each of their previous three showdowns away from the Estadio Jose Gomes by an aggregate score of 13-1. It should also be noted, Faria’s side have lost all of their last six consecutive Primeira Liga matchups on their travels.
