First goalscorer predictions

The mood music has changed at Chelsea after Sunday's mauling of Wolves and Enzo Maresca will be looking for another win against Servette in Switzerland tonight.

The Blues are in command of their UEFA Conference League play-off after winning 2-0 in the first leg and they followed that up by romping to a 6-2 victory at Molineux.

There was a lot of negativity hanging over Stamford Bridge after Mauricio Pochettino's surprise departure and another chaotic transfer window, which only increased after a loss to Manchester City on day one.

But the weekend rout showed that Maresca might be able to get a tune out of his expensively assembled squad and if he can keep winning then the fans will get back onside.

Servette vs Chelsea top betting tips

Chelsea are just 1/50 to qualify at Betfred and even backing them to win on the night only boosts the odds to 8/13. Servette had a few chances at Stamford Bridge and the Blues have conceded twice in both their Premier League games so backing goals at both ends could be the shout.

BTTS only pays 1/2 but over 3.5 match goals is better at 11/10 while backing over 1.5 first-half strikes pays 6/5 with Bet365.

The scorer markets offer the best prices, although it's tricky predicting who will start given Maresca has so many option in attack.

Chistopher Nkunku scored in the first leg and could come back in after only featuring as a sub against Wolves. The Frenchman is 7/5 for anytime scorer and that looks a decent price.

Heart of Midlothian vs Viktoria Plzen top betting tips

Heart of Midlothian started the season with a promising draw against Rangers but they've been in dismal form since then, losing four games in a row.

Their defeat in the first leg of the Europa League play-off against Viktoria Plzen was cruel as the Czechs scored the only goal right at the death, having rarely threatened Craig Gordon's goal.

Overturning a 1-0 deficit back at Tynecastle isn't beyond Hearts if they can hit top form again but Betfred make the Jambos 4/1 outsiders to go through and 12/5 for a win on the night.

With the tie still in the balance it could be a tense 90 minutes so I'm betting against goals, with under 2.5 strikes priced 10/11 at Betfred.

Cards look more likely and Hearts hothead Cammy Devlin is 11/5 at Bet365 to go into the book. Like Devlin, Plzen's Lukas Kalvach was booked in the first leg and he's 4/1 for another card.

Kilmarnock vs FC Copenhagen top tips

Kilmarnock are up against it in their UEFA Conference League play-off with FC Copenhagen after conceding two late goals in Denmark last week.

Killie's domestic form is even worse than Hearts' and they prop up the Premiership table after three successive defeats.

They will give it their all but it's hard to see them beating the Danes and it's no surprise to see Copenhagen as 4/6 favourites for another win.

Derek McInnes' men have been struggling to score so the best option might be a Copenhagen win to nil at 15/8.

We could see plenty of cards in this one too and Liam Donnelly appeals at 2/1 to go in the book.

    Europa League special
    1 corner each team in each half 600-1
    3 corners each team in each game 200-1
    3 corners taken in each half 50-1
    It’s a big task with there being 11 fixtures

    Wednesdays champion league special at 9-1 came in but the 500-1 was a couple of corners short in two games

    Wee dabble into the women’s game today and the Czech Republic is the destination.

    Slovan Liberec entertain heavyweights Sparta Prague and the H2H history points to a Sparta win…they’ve won 38 & drawn 4 of the 42 H2H meetings and 1/9 on the WDW markets for an away win backs this up.

    However Liberec have scored in 21 of their last 24 home league matches including the last twice against today’s opponents Sparta…3-4 & 1-3 defeats

    🇨🇿 5pm

    Sparta Prague W win & BTTS 11/10

    Champions League draw tonight, going to be a strange one with the new format, I’ll bet it was one of the reasons for Jurgen Klopp packing the game in. Made a mistake I think in taking Arsenal to win the league with these extra games, time will tell I suppose but it’ll effect all the big clubs if they go deep into the comp.

      Hmmm Madrid are one of those sides with the dreaded wingers who play on the wrong side of their good foot Hull. I like a corner dabble, but normally avoid them for this very reason, hope I’m wrong though as I see this is one of your iconic five star points 😊

      Spurs and Celtic were two of the sides I loved for sticking with guys hammering to the byline on their good foot and trying to drive it across, still leading to loads od Spurs corners this reason actually.
      The king of this was Navas when he was at Cittee, could almost bring your corner bet on his own!

      Completely agree with you on your point on Real Madrid Corners due to there playing style, makes it even more difficult with no focal point having lost Joselu / Benzema in recent times and now got Mbappe up top. Celtic been a dream for corners in recent seasons especially during Postecoglous reign. Hope it comes in for you Hull though GL!
