5 Best Underdog Betting Tips Across Europe: Oct 19th-21st

As club football returns this weekend, there are some intriguing underdog opportunities across Europe. Our football experts have identified five matches from the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A where the lesser-fancied teams could spring a surprise. Whether you’re looking to add some excitement to your accumulator or fancy an upset, these tips could offer solid value. Let’s dive into the best bets, including a pick that’s priced at 8/1!

Eintracht Frankfurt to Test Leverkusen’s Resolve

Bayer Leverkusen may have started strong, but a 3-2 loss at home to RB Leipzig exposed some weaknesses. They followed that up with a 2-2 draw against Holstein Kiel before the international break. Now they face Eintracht Frankfurt, who have been in impressive form. Unbeaten in their last seven matches, including a thrilling 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich, Frankfurt have won five of those games. Leverkusen might have gone unbeaten at home last season, but Frankfurt are more than capable of causing problems on Saturday.

Brentford to Capitalise on Man United’s Struggles

Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United are under immense pressure after a poor start to the season. With a host of injuries affecting their defence and key players like Kobbie Mainoo and Manuel Ugarte set to miss out, United could struggle again at Old Trafford against Brentford.  . Brentford have proven their mettle against top teams, with only three losses, two of which came against the top sides. Thomas Frank’s team recently beat Wolves 5-3, showing they have the firepower to trouble United’s shaky defence. A Brentford upset is certainly on the cards.

Udinese to Punish AC Milan

AC Milan’s struggles continued before the break, with two consecutive defeats. Paulo Fonseca’s side are under pressure, and Udinese will fancy their chances after winning two of the last three meetings with Milan. Udinese sit two points above the Rossoneri and have already picked up four wins this season. With Milan’s form dipping, another upset could be looming on Sunday.

Holstein Kiel to Break Through Against Union Berlin

Holstein Kiel may have only recently joined the Bundesliga, but their recent draw against Leverkusen shows they’re not afraid to challenge bigger teams. Despite still looking for their first top-flight win, Kiel’s xG of 1.65 against Leverkusen suggests they have the attacking potential to hurt Union Berlin. Union’s poor away form continues, with just two road wins in their last 19 league games. Kiel could well get their first win of the season here.

Crystal Palace to Outclass Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest’s injury crisis couldn’t come at a worse time, with key players like Morgan Gibbs-White and James Ward-Prowse out. Forest have struggled for consistency, and Crystal Palace could take advantage. Despite still searching for their first win of the season, Palace have been showing promise under Oliver Glasner and put in a solid performance against Liverpool last time out. With Forest depleted, the Eagles could swoop in for their first victory of the campaign.
