Betting Tips & Odds 20-26 October: All The Big Leagues
20 to 26 October 2026The week opens with the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, with nine English clubs in action, before the weekend's league programme, from the Premier League and the Championship to La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1. Barcelona host Real Madrid in El Clásico on Sunday. Here are our tips for every match, with current odds on 1X2, Over/Under goals and Both Teams To Score.
Editor’s Pick: This Week’s Accumulator
Five selections from Saturday’s matches, for anyone looking to combine multiple favourites into a bigger overall price. This is our own editorial pick, not a guarantee.
- Como to win (Serie A, v Sassuolo) @ 1/2
- Arsenal to win (Premier League, v Everton) @ 4/11
- RB Leipzig to win (Bundesliga, v SV Elversberg) @ 4/9
- Atlético Madrid to win (La Liga, v Deportivo) @ 1/4
- Borussia Dortmund to win (Bundesliga, v Eintracht Frankfurt) @ 1/2
Combined odds: 9/2 at bet365, plus the bookmaker’s 10% Acca Boost
The five legs multiply to just under 9/2 at bet365 (a £10 stake returns £53.90 including the stake), and the bookmaker’s 10% Acca Boost is added on top. A single losing leg, though, means the whole accumulator is lost.
The odds provided in this roundup represent general market prices collected from several bookmakers at the time of writing. As these may differ from your specific bookmaker’s prices, please always verify the current odds before placing a bet.
