With all of Europe’s elite marking their respective returns from October’s international break this weekend, the action will roll onto a stacked Sunday schedule.
While Liverpool’s heavyweight Premier League showdown against historic rivals Manchester United will steal plenty of Sunday’s headlines, we have a string of noteworthy battles from across the continent.
So, for those of you looking to stick on a Sunday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive European betting markets which are available.
12:30 Darmstadt vs Magdeburg
Spending the majority of last season sat in Bundesliga 2 limbo as they eventually limped their way to a bottom-half finish, Darmstadt opened up the 2025/26 campaign knowing that stability was crucial this time around. However, since opening proceedings back in August, the Lillies have come flying out of the traps and are enjoying what has become quite the purple patch. Marking their return from October’s international break sat in bronze medal position, Florian Kohfeldt’s men have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine promotion charge this year. Signing off September with a routine 2-0 victory at home against Dresden, the Blues have registered 10 points from their previous four Bundesliga 2 appearances. With their sensational second-tier flurry highlighted by a dominant 3-0 win away at Dusseldorf on September 21st, Darmstadt will be looking to make another statement here. Getting the new campaign underway with a 4-1 romp against Bochum on August 2nd, it should also be noted that Sunday’s hosts have recorded 10 points from their first four showdowns in Hesse.
While Darmstadt might be enjoying what has become a real Bundesliga 2 romp, Magdeburg find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Last seen heading into October’s international break with a woeful 4-0 drumming at home against Elversberg, Petrik Sander’s downbeat squad mark their return from the fortnight interval sat rock-bottom of the table. In fact, Sunday’s guests have remarkably registered just three points from any of their first eight Bundesliga 2 appearances and they are suddenly pencilled in as a standout contender this season. Signing off August with a remarkable 5-4 defeat against Furth, Magdeburg have lost all of their last six consecutive showdowns.. Including back-to-back 2-0 losses against Schalke and Bielfeld last month, Sander’s side have also gained a reputation for their glaring defensive struggles. Already shipping 19 Bundesliga 2 goals so far this season, they also hold the worst defensive tally among Germany’s second-tier.

20:00 Las Palmas vs Eibar
After losing their La Liga status last season, it is no secret that Las Palmas have their sights firmly set on booking an immediate top-flight return this time around. Despite signing off September with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Almeria, Luis Garcia’s men have proven that toothless performance was nothing more than a minor blip. Suffering just a single defeat from any of their previous six Segunda appearances, the former Qatar boss will also be excited by his side’s defensive success. Getting October underway with an eye-catching 1-0 victory at home against Cadiz, Los Amarillos will be confident of extending on their impressive start to proceedings. Only shipping five goals in their nine Segunda appearances so far this season, Las Palmas’s hold the best defensive tally among Spain’s elite. Along with registering back-to-back Segunda clean sheets, it should also be highlighted that Sunday’s hosts have shipped just a single strike in 360 minutes of action.
While some in Eibar’s camp might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine play-off charge, the Basque-based outfit have continued to show some real issues. Getting October underway with a worrying 1-0 loss away at Ceuta, Benat San Jose could have some mounting pressure on his shoulders. Missing out on what they had billed as a potential opportunity prior to October’s international break as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Castellon, Sunday’s guests have mustered just a single victory from any of their previous five Segunda outings. Hit with another 1-0 defeat against Cadiz on September 13th, Eibar have also failed to find any kind of clinical edge in the final third. Along with drawing consecutive second-tier blanks, San Jose’s camp have also bagged just a single strike on their travels since the middle of August.
