October 1st: Sunday’s European Double – 4/1 Special, Tips & Predictions

While the Premier League might offer just a single fixture on Sunday afternoon, the rest of Europe’s elite have a string of intriguing showdowns.

Ahead of a stacked schedule from the likes of Germany, Spain and Italy, we have found a pair of contests that are worth keeping an eye out for.

14:30 Darmstadt vs Werder Bremen

After spending large spells of last season looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap, Sunday’s guests are simply hoping for smoother sailing this time around. Although the River Islanders might have opened up the 2023/24 campaign with back-to-back defeats, Ole Werner’s men have claimed a recent boost on either side of September’s international break.

Putting in another eye-catching performance last weekend as they landed a 2-1 win at home against Koln, Bremen have won two of their previous three Bundesliga appearances.

Heading into the fortnight interval with a season-best display as they cruised their way to a stellar 4-0 romp against Mainz, the Greens will be excited by their recent performances in the final third.

Notching eight strikes in their last three top-flight showdowns, Bremen will certainly be smelling the chance to lay down another Bundesliga marker when they travel to a struggling Darmstadt on Sunday afternoon.

While Torsten Lieberknecht’s side might have impressed many as they claimed a Bundesliga return for this season, the Lilies are already tipped as a landslide favourite to find themselves at the heart of a relegation scrap this time around.

Last seen suffering a major collapse at the hands of Stuttgart as they eventually slipped to a 3-1 drumming, the Hesse-based outfit have managed to muster just a single point from their opening five top-flight contests.

Heading into September’s international break with a nightmare 5-1 drumming against Stuttgart, Darmstadt have quickly gained a reputation for their glaring issues at the back.

With Bremen landing a 1-0 victory when the two sides last met 18 months ago, we are expecting a similar away win this weekend.

20:00 Atletico Madrid vs Cadiz

While Atletico Madrid might have marked their return from September’s international break with a shock 3-0 drumming at the hands of Valencia, Sunday’s guests have proven that downbeat performance was nothing more than a minor blip. With the mood in Diego Simeone’s camp at a red-hot high, the Spanish giants have their sights set on mounting a genuine title charge this time around.

Putting in another eye-catching display earlier in the week as they landed a 2-0 victory away at Osasuna, Atletico will be smelling the chance to lay down another marker here.

Putting in a famous performance at the Metropolitano last weekend as they claimed a 3-1 romp against Los Blancos, Simeone’s side have continued to gain a reputation for their remarkable success on home soil.

With French superstar Antonie Griezmann now finding the net in back-to-back La Liga appearances over the past week, it is worth highlighting that Atletico have not suffered a single La Liga defeat in front of their own supporters since the start of January.

On the flip side, although some in Cadiz’s camp might have had their sights set on trying to break into the top-half this season, Sunday’s guests have struggled to find any kind of stability.

Forced to settle for an uninspiring 0-0 stalemate against Rayo Vallecano in midweek, the Yellow Submarine have recorded just a single win from their last six appearances – a run that stems back to August 14th.

Knowing that they face a monumental challenge in the Spanish capital this weekend, Cadiz should also be worried by their most recent trip to the Metropolitano.

Hit with a routine 5-1 drumming back on May 3rd, Atletico are rightfully tipped as a landslide contender here.
