There is still plenty of football action to take in across Europe on Monday, with two Serie A matches and a Belgian fixture grabbing our attention.
Juventus parted ways with manager Massimiliano Allegri last week and the Old Lady are expected to turn to Bologna boss Thiago Motta as his replacement.
Those two sides clash at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Monday, while already-relegated Salernitana host Verona, who are desperate for points to move away from the drop zone.
We have bets in each of the Serie A matches and also a selection from Belgium, as Genk face Antwerp.

Bet of the Day
Verona to beat Salernitana @ 4/6
Such is the clustered nature at the bottom of the Italian top flight, Verona find themselves embroiled in a relegation battle.
However, the Yellow and Blues could boost their survival hopes when they head to the Stadio Arechi to face relegated Salernitana on Monday night.
The Garnets have picked up just two league wins all season and they last tasted success at the end of December, ironically winning 1-0 at Verona.
Salernitana manager Stefano Colantuono remains without injured duo Guillermo Ochoa and Giulio Maggiore, while Antonio Candreva, Norbert Gyomber, Jerome Boateng and Iron Gomis could join that pair on the sidelines.
Verona look a class above their opponents and offers of 4/6 about an away victory look more than acceptable, as the visitors will also have revenge on their mind for that December defeat.
Special of the day
Bologna to win to nil v Juventus @ 17/5
It has been a remarkable campaign for Bologna, who have guaranteed a spot in next season’s Champions League.
AC Milan and Inter are the only teams to have beaten the Red and Blues at home this season and Motta’s men have conceded only nine goals on their own patch this term.
Such is the impressive form of Bologna, their manager Motta is expected to be heading for Turin in the summer after Allegri’s recent departure.
Juventus have won only one of their last seven matches, haven’t won any of their last eight away games and have hit the net only seven times on that poor traveling run.
Taking Bologna to win to nil at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara looks a solid wager.
Longshot of the day
Genk to win 3-1 @ 11/1
Antwerp head to Genk on an awful run, with Mark van Bommel’s men losing eight of their last nine matches in all competitions and their last five outings in a row.
The Reds have shipped 11 goals in their last four Championship Round contests and they could be set for another defeat at Genk.
While Wouter Vrancken’s troops have lost four games on the bounce themselves, they have impressed on home soil and have lost just three of their last 23 fixtures in all competitions at the Cegeka Arena.
Genk have failed to score in just three of their last 13 home assignments and they will fancy their chances of racking up a few goals against an Antwerp side that has kept just one clean sheet from their last five away encounters.
At 11/1, a 3-1 home victory is a juicy price for Monday’s contest.
