It's a strange Saturday with no top-flight British football being played but there's a huge clash in Italy as Serie A leaders Atalanta take on Lazio in Rome.
A stunning run of 11 successive league wins has taken Gian Piero Gasperini's side to the summit but the title race is close, with fourth-placed Lazio only six points behind them.
The Roman club have also been in terrific form, with 11 wins in their last 14 games in all competitions, but their last home game was a disaster as they lost 6-0 to champions Inter Milan.
So boss Marco Baroni will be desperate to bounce back with a statement win that would fire Lazio right back into the hunt for the Serie A crown.
Lazio vs Atalanta top betting tips
This is a tricky one to call but BoyleSports reckon Atalanta's stunning form gives them the edge, with Gasperini's side the 5/4 favourites. Lazio are 15/8 outsiders and the draw pays 9/4 but the half-time stalemate might be a safer bet at 11/10.
Goals are usually guaranteed with Gasperini and both meetings were thrillers last term, with a 3-2 win for Lazio in Rome followed by a 3-1 triumph for Atalanta in Bergamo.
That's why BTTS is just 4/7 with BoyleSports but combining that with over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to a decent 21/20. Over 3.5 match strikes on its own also looks worth a punt at 19/10.
We saw 10 corners when Atalanta came calling last term so I also like over 9.5 flag kicks at 6/5.
Ayr United vs Morton top betting tips
There's a full card in the SPFL lower leagues today and the pick of the games in the Championship sees third-placed Ayr United host Morton.
The Honest Men hit a slump after a storming start to the season but they're back at their best again, with five wins in their last six matches.
One of those victories was a 2-0 Scottish Cup win over Morton so it's easy to see why BoyleSports make Scott Brown's side their 1/2 hot favourites.
Ayr should win this one pretty comfortably if they hit top form and backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time pays 7/5.
Striker George Oakley is going up against one of his old clubs and he haunted Morton earlier in the season by scoring in a 1-1 league draw. The Englishman is a best 13/8 at 888Sport for another goal today.
Raith Rovers vs Livingston top betting tips
Livingston suffered a blow in their quest for the SPFL Championship title last weekend when they lost 1-0 at home to Ayr.
That ended an impressive seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, with the Lions winning six of those games.
David Martindale will be looking to bounce back with a win over Raith Rovers today and I fancy Livingston at 23/20 with BoyleSports.
Raith are still reeling from the departure of manager Neill Collins after he left just a few months into the job to take charge of Sacramento Republic in the USA.
That should give Livi the edge but Rovers are in decent form with wins over Dunfermline and Queen's Park in their last two. So we could also see BTTS in this one at 10/11 with BoyleSports while over 2.5 goals also pays a decent 5/4.

Bit of interest today, two trebles with a selection from Scotland, Wales and England each and hoping both will run close. Haven’t managed on for a while but hope everyone enjoying the festive season. Always a time for reflection and I must say I still miss the days of Paul being involved here.
Good luck with your bets🤞
How did these go?
Darts for a wee change….Humphries & Littler to win their quarter & meet in the semis looks a really solid 21/20 punt & i will gladly take that bet at Wullie Hills
Littlers 4th set in the last round was the best 3 legs in the history of darts…..watch if you havent seen it, 32 darts to win a set is incredible
I canny see past that bet either Joe. Also think Doets is a huge price to beat the Pole. He was superb against Smith, 6/5 is mad but I’ll take it all day long. Game is tomorrow btw for anyone who doesn’t follow the arras.
I fancy Doets to do the match treble….win, most 180’s & highest checkout @3/1 Master

Derby in Portugal tonight & that generally means a strong possibility of a red card. This derby often gets overlooked because of the more spoken big 3 rivalry(Porto,Benfica,Sporting) but Boavista are Portos city rivals & the fiercess of that rivalry is highlighted by the red card thats been produced in each of the last 4 meetings…….. Porto v Boavista red card in the match 11/4
Boavista also in alot of financial trouble tec
Scottish 2+ team gls – Arbroath 17/20 Hamilton 4/5 Partick 3/4…..24/5 treble
