The headline game in England sees Bournemouth trying to break out of a surprising eight-match winless run when they host Fulham.
We have a tip for that match among our three favourite bets on Monday’s football.

Monday football tips
Bet of the Day – Coventry to beat Hull @ 17/10
Coventry headed into the weekend clinging on to the final play-off place in the Championship after putting their place in the end-of-season tournament in doubt over the last few weeks.
The Sky Blues had been on a fantastic run under manager Frank Lampard, picking up an impressive nine wins in 11 matches between mid-January and early March.
The last month has brought a rocky spell, with Coventry losing three times in four games against Derby and title contenders Sheffield United and Burnley.
The Sky Blues got back on track with a late winner to beat Portsmouth 1-0 on Wednesday and they will be looking to build on that when they visit Hull.
The Tigers are one of the teams in the lively scrap to avoid relegation from the Championship and only four of their 11 league wins this season have come at home.
Their last three games have each produced only one goal, with defeats to Luton and Watford either side of an excellent away win over Sheffield Wednesday, but they could struggle to cope with a team of Coventry’s quality.
Special of the Day – Bournemouth to win & both teams to score v Fulham @ 14/5
Bournemouth’s recent downturn in form has been disappointing as an unexpected run of eight games without a win in 90 minutes has seen them fall from an impressive fifth place in the table to 10th before this weekend’s fixtures.
With fifth now being good enough to earn a Champions League place, that fall from grace will be a bitter pill to swallow for the Cherries but they are capable of starting to turn things around with a home win over Fulham.
Bournemouth’s last five defeats have all been by one goal, the last three all being 2-1 losses to Brentford, Manchester City in the FA Cup and Ipswich.
Fulham are above Bournemouth in the standings after last week’s surprising win over Liverpool but they have lost four of their last eight matches and have not won any of their last three away fixtures.
The first league meeting between these teams ended 2-2 at Craven Cottage in December and a Bournemouth win with both teams scoring looks a solid bet.
Both teams have scored in seven successive Bournemouth games and the same is true of eight of Fulham’s last 11 matches.
Long Shot of the Day – Atletico Madrid to win 5-1 correct score v Real Valladolid @ 22/1
Predicting a team will win 5-1 at home is normally a bit far-fetched but when it comes to Atletico Madrid against Real Valladolid on Monday, that would represent a slightly worse result than they managed on the road in the reverse fixture.
Atletico won 5-0 at the Estadio Jose Zorrilla in November, with five different players getting on the scoresheet, and they are likely to be relentless in their pursuit of top two Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Valladolid are adrift at the bottom of La Liga with 14 defeats in 15 away league games and they are no strangers to heavy defeats with a 5-1 loss at Villarreal, a 7-1 thumping at Athletic Bilbao and pair of 4-0 home reverses to Sevilla and Getafe all within their last nine matches.
The strugglers have managed a consolation goal in six of their last seven away losses and a 5-1 home win looks to be in the right range for the final score in this match.
