While there is a full EFL programme on the cards over the weekend, the spotlight is on mainland Europe on Monday night with games scheduled in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and the Danish Superliga. FC Porto finished third last season and will look to make a strong start when they host Vitoria Guimaraes. Estoril also entertain Estrela Amadora, while in Denmark, Odense play host to Randers FC. GET UP TO £50 IN FREE BETS WITH TALKSPORT BET Bet of the Day - Estoril Praia to beat Estrela Amadora @ 17/20 A routine win is expected for Estoril Praia when they face Estrela Amadora on Monday night. The hosts finished 17 points above their opponents in the Primeira Liga last season and the gulf in class should be apparent from the outset. Estrela Amadora only just avoided relegation last term, finishing two points above the bottom three, and they lost 8-2 on aggregate to Estoril in the two league meetings. Estrela Amadora had the worst away record in the entire division last season and they should once again be on the wrong side of the result. Special of the Day - Porto to beat Vitoria Guimaraes and BTTS @ 23/10 Porto have started from scratch this season and it is Francesco Farioli who will take charge of the Dragons this season. The former Nice and Ajax coach has replaced Martin Anselmi after Porto's poor showing at the FIFA Club World Cup. There's been a major overhaul of the squad, with Goncalo Borges, Joao Mario, Otavio and Francisco Conceicao all moving on, while Victor Froholdt, Gabri Veiga, Alberto Costa, Borja Sainz, Nehuen Perez and Jan Bednarek have moved to the Portuguese giants. Porto will hope to make a fast start at home, but they will do well to keep a clean sheet against Vitoria de Guimaraes. The hosts should win, having won 13 of their 17 league games at Estadio do Dragao last season, but they have had a disrupted summer due to their Club World Cup exploits and Vitoria de Guimaraes have played seven more friendlies than them and should be able to find the back of the net, having done so on each of their last three trips to Porto. Longshot of the Day - Odense vs Randers FC - Correct Score 2-2 @ 10/1 We turn to Denmark for our longshot of the day and there's plenty of value in a correct score punt when Odense take on Randers FC. Odense have picked up four points from their opening three matches and have been involved in some high-scoring ties. They have found the back of the net on six occasions, while also conceding eight goals. Randers FC are second and have only conceded twice, but the history books suggest games between these two teams are end-to-end battles. Three of the last six encounters have finished 2-2 and with neither side fully into their rhythm at this stage of the season, another entertaining affair looks good value for Monday's fixture.
