An action-packed weekend of football continues across the continent on Sunday. 

Odds Now's Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) has scoped over the day's fixtures to put up a tasty 8/1 treble.

Brad Walker's European football betting selections for Sunday, 26 January, 2025

Selection #1 - Eintracht Frankfurt to beat Hoffenheim (6/5)

The form of these two couldn't be more contrasting ahead of their meeting at the Deutsche Bank Park. 

Visitors Frankfurt have recorded four wins on the spin, while Hoffenheim have just a single victory to their name in their last 11 in all competitions.

Frankfurt have also enjoyed their time on the road this term and boast the third best away record in the Bundesliga. 

Compare with Hoffenheim's record on their own patch, where they've won on only three occasions this season.

Dino Toppmoller's have also came out on top in each of their last four meetings with Hoffenheim in the league, yet still come in a very generous 6/5 to win again on Sunday.

Selection #2 - Lyon to beat Nantes (11/10)

Lyon may have failed to win any of their last four but it's still hard to make a case for the hosts this weekend. 

Only Le Havre have a worse record at home than Nantes, who have picked up just two home wins all season in Ligue 1.

They've also conceded two or more goals in 63% of those matches, claiming just two clean sheets in the process. 

Lyon's average of 1.33 points per away game is hardly spectacular but they've still averaged 1.61 scored all season and should still be backed at an odds-against 11/10 to win against this leaky defence.

Selection #3 - Lazio to beat Fiorentina (21/20)

Lazio's form was patchy over Christmas but Marco Baroni's men have since regrouped to record consecutive wins in their last two outings.

Only four sides boast better home records than Lazio, who have lost on just one occasion in their last 15 Serie A home matches.

Meanwhile, visitors Fiorentina head to the Stadio Olimpico winless in seven. 

In fact, Raffaele Palladino's men have not won on the road since November 24 and, given the hosts' recent record, it's hard to envisage that changing in Rome.
