As Macclesfield look to claim another iconic Premier League scalp and extend on their FA Cup fairytale when they meet Brentford on Monday night, we have plenty of intriguing battles from across the continent.
Alongside Coventry and Middlesbrough’s epic Championship showdown, we also have showdowns from the likes of Spain and Italy.
For those of you looking to stick on a Monday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive European betting markets which are available.
19:45 Cagliari vs Lecce
While Cagliari might have eventually fallen to a 2-0 loss away at Italian giants Roma last time out, the Islanders should still find the mood in their camp at a season-high. Signing off January with a stellar performance as they cruised their way to an empathic 4-0 romp against Verona, Fabio Pisacane’s side have won each of their other three Serie A appearances and they have skyrocketed their way up the table. Springing an iconic upset on January 17th as they secured a 1-0 victory against Juventus, Cagliari will know that they can move within touching distance of the top-half here. Likewise, along with recording consecutive Serie A victories at the Unipol Domus, Monday’s hosts have lost just one of their previous six showdowns in front of their own supporters – a run that stems back to the end of October.
Claiming what was an essential boost last time out as they secured a 2-1 victory at home against Udinese, Lecce will be desperate to spring another upset on Monday night. However, holding just a one-point buffer from slipping back into the relegation zone, Eusebio Di Francesco’s side have a real battle on their hands in the race to once again cling to their Serie A status. Getting February underway with a 1-0 loss away at Torino, the Wolves have registered just a single win from any of their previous nine appearances – a run that stems back to December 12th. Pencilled in as an underdog contender here, Lecce should also be concerned by a downbeat recent record against Tuesday’s hosts. In fact, Di Francesco’s men have lost their previous two showdowns against Cagliari by an aggregate score of 6-2.

19:45 Chelmsford City vs Maidstone United
While Chelmsford might have signed off January with a nightmare 5-0 drumming at the hands of Slough, it appears that shock display was just a minor blip for the Clarets. Making an immediate return to winning ways last time out as they stormed their way to a 3-1 victory against Hampton & Richmond, Angelo Harrop’s side have found a route into the top-half of the National League South standings and they could be dreaming of the chance to mount a late play-off charge in 2026. Including an action-packed 3-2 win against Horsham on January 24th, the Essex-based outfit have won four of their previous five appearances and they should be confident of making another statement here. Likewise, last seen at the Melbourne Stadium securing consecutive 1-0 victories against Tonbridge and Weston-super-Mare, Chelmsford have registered back-to-back wins in Essex for the first time since the start of November.
Although Maidstone might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign with many billing them as a genuine play-off contender, George Elokobi’s side have drastically failed to find any kind of stability. Tumbling down the National League South standings, the one-time Wolves defender has seen his downbeat squad lose each of their previous three consecutive appearances and they are enduring their longest winless run since back in September. Sacrificing their spot in the top-half of the table, the Kent-based outfit have also continued to show some worrying defensive issues. In fact, the Stones have lost each of their last three straight outings by an aggregate score of 6-3 and they have only mustered a sole clean sheet since back on Boxing Day. Likewise, including a 3-1 loss against Eastbourne Boro on February 10th, it should also be noted that Maidstone have claimed just a single win on their travels since the end of November.
