While we might only have one FA Cup tie scheduled in for Monday, there are a handful of intriguing affairs from across Europe.
Alongside Villarreal’s trip to Real Sociedad, we also have fixtures from the likes of Serie A and the Greek Super League.
For those of you looking to stick on a Monday flutter, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Monday betting tips.
16:00 Asteras vs Panetolikos
While Asteras might have found themselves at the heart of a public struggle on either side of November’s international break, the Arcadians have come roaring back in some style. Enjoying what has become a real turn in fortunes, Savvas Pantelidis’ men should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Last seen extending on their Greek Cup adventure earlier in the week and booking their semi-final ticket thanks to a 4-0 aggregate victory against Panionios, Monday’s hosts have won each of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Skyrocketing their way into the Europa Conference League qualifying spots, Asteras will also be excited by their recent defensive steel. Getting the New Year underway with a 1-0 win away at Atromitos, the former AEL Limassol boss has seen his side ship just a single goal on their four-match winning run. Smelling an opportunity here, it should also be noted that the Arcadians have won three of their last four showdowns in front of their own supporters.
Although Panetolikos might have secured a much-needed 1-0 victory against Lamia last month, it appears that might have just been a minor boost of Monday’s guests. Last seen opening 2025 with what was a routine 2-0 defeat at home against Olympiacos, Giannis Petrakis’ side have continued to show some rather glaring inconsistencies. Along with collecting just a single point from any of their previous three Super League appearances, the Canaries have claimed just one win from any of their last six outings. Failing to collect consecutive domestic victories across any competition since the middle of October, Panetolikos have watched their top-four dreams take a major dent. Drawing three straight Super League blanks, the Yellows should have another tough challenge on their hands here. It should also be noted, Petrakis’ side hold a nightmare record against Monday’s hosts. In fact, they have remarkably notched just a single win against Asteras since way back in January 2016.

19:30 Pisa vs Carrarese
Eventually forced to settle for a bottom-half finish last season, Pisa have certainly cemented their spot as one of Italy’s real surprise packages this time around. Signing off 2024 with another gritty display as they claimed a 1-0 victory away at Sampdoria, Monday’s hosts are in the midst of what has come a sensational flurry. Remarkably battling it out at the top of the Serie B table and sat in the automatic promotion spots, Filippo Inzaghi’s men have collected 12 points from their previous five Serie B appearances. Looking to extend on their purple patch here, Pisa will also be excited by their continued success on home soil. Last seen at the Arena Garibaldi landing a thumping 3-1 victory against Sassuolo, the Tuscany-based outfit have suffered just a single defeat in front of their own supporters over the past 11 months. It’s also worth noting, Pisa have recorded at least a pair of goals in five of their last six home fixtures.
Although Carrarese might have only made their Serie B return this season, the Blues have sprung an almighty upset. Scrapping it out in the play-off spots and with the mood in their camp at a red-hot high, Nicola Calabro’s side are unbeaten in all of their previous five Serie B showdowns. However, although Monday’s guests might have continued to shine with their defensive steel, Carrarese are seeking some crucial stability on the road. Hit with a nightmare 4-1 drumming at the hands of Salernitana on December 1st, Calabro’s men have collected just two points on their travels since the start of October. It should also be highlighted, continuing on from last season, the Apuans have claimed just a single victory away from the Stadio dei Marmi over the past eight months. Likewise, suffering a 2-1 defeat when they last travelled to their local rivals for a competitive showdown in 2019, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
