While Manchester City’s blockbuster Premier League trip to Anfield might steal plenty of Sunday’s attention, we have a stacked schedule from across the continent.
With some heavyweight battles from the likes of Ligue 1, La Liga and Serie A this weekend, there are a string of European heavyweights who will feature.
For those of you looking to stick on a Sunday flutter, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive European betting tips that are available.
16:15 Le Havre vs Strasbourg
Although Strasbourg might have watched Liam Rosenior leave the Stade de la Meinau for Premier League giants Chelsea last month, Le Racing haven’t shown any signs of a hangover. Despite shocking many as they appointed Gary O’Neil on January 7th, the former Wolves boss has certainly made an immediate impact since arriving in Alsace. Extending on their respective Coupe de France adventure earlier in the week and collecting a heavyweight scalp as they stormed their way to a thumping 3-1 victory at home against Monaco, Strasbourg find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. With their sights firmly set on punching another lucrative European ticket in 2026, O’Neil’s side have won four of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions. In fact, despite falling to a close-fought 2-1 loss against reigning Ligue 1 and European champions PSG last weekend, that is the only defeat that Le Racing have suffered over the past two months.
While Le Havre might open this weekend’s fixtures holding a six-point buffer over slipping into the relegation zone, the Dean Club are still firmly look over their shoulder and they are enduring a recent rut. Last seen putting in another toothless performance as they slumped to a 1-0 loss away at Lens, Didier Digard’s side will certainly be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they return to Normandy on Sunday afternoon. Watching their Coupe de France adventure come to a disappointing end at the hands of Ligue 2 outfit Amiens, Le Havre have recorded just a sole win from any of their previous 11 appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to the end of October. It should also be highlighted, along with drawing consecutive Ligue 1 blanks, Digard’s men have also failed to find the net in seven of their last nine matchups. In fact, Le Havre have recorded just a sole strike in Normandy since returning from November’s international break.

16:30 Liverpool vs Manchester City
Putting in what was arguably a season-best performance last weekend as they stormed their way to an empathic 4-1 victory at home against Newcastle, Arne Slot’s camp will certainly be dreaming of a repeat display here. Despite opening this weekend’s fixtures sat way down in sixth-place and 14 points adrift of runaway leaders Arsenal, Liverpool have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. Signing off their Champions League group stage adventure with a routine 6-0 romp against Qarabag last week, the former Feyenoord boss has seen his squad register 10 goals in their back-to-back victories. Despite suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Bournemouth on January 24th as they eventually fell to a dramatic 3-2 loss, that is the only defeat they have tasted from their previous 16 appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to a 4-1 drumming against PSV at the end of November. Despite mustering just a sole clean sheet at Anfield since New Year’s Day, it should be noted that Slot’s side have recorded 15 goals in their previous four matchups on home soil.
While Manchester City might have stormed their way to this season’s EFL Cup final as they claimed a thumping 5-1 aggregate victory against Newcastle, the Sky Blues have seen their Premier League title dreams take a major blow since opening the New Year. Getting 2026 underway with three consecutive top-flight stalemates, Pep Guardiola’s side have an almighty battle on their hands in the race to reclaim their domestic crown. Suffering a second-half collapse away at Tottenham last weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in north London, the ex-Barcelona boss will certainly have a mounting headache over his side’s struggles away from the Etihad. Slumping to an infamous 3-1 Champions League drumming against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt on January 20th, Man City have mustered just a sole win on their travels from any of their previous five matchups across all competitions. Pencilled in as an underdog contender when they travel to Anfield this weekend, City have also collected just one-point from their last three Premier League trips to the red half of Merseyside.
