HEARTS will be hoping Fiorentina’s dismal form continues when the Serie A giants come calling for a mouth-watering Europa League clash.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side have won just three of their 12 games this season and couldn’t even manage to see off Latvian minnows RFS at home, drawing 1-1.
So the Jambos will never have a better chance of claiming their scalp as they look to take a big step towards the knockout stages.
But McBookie can’t see it happening as they make Robbie Neilson’s men 4/1 outsiders, with Fiorentina just 4/7 and the draw paying 14/5.
We should see goals as both teams will view a victory tonight as the catalyst for getting through the group.
Over 2.5 strikes pays a best 22/25 at Unibet while BTTS is the same price with the same firm.
Fiorentina stopper Igor Julio looks like he enjoys a tackle with the Brazilian picking up three yellows and two reds in just seven appearances this season. He’s 11/4 with Unibet to be carded tonight which looks great value.
Neil Lennon’s Omonia Nicosia face Manchester United in the Europa League and I expect a response from Erik ten Hag’s men after a derby hammering.
Over 2.5 United goals pays 11/10 with McBookie who price over 42.5 booking points at a tempting 6/5.
Elsewhere, I’m doubling an Arsenal win at home to Bodo/Glimt with a victory for West Ham on the road at Anderlecht. That bet pays a best 162/100 with VBet, with the Hammers doing most of the heavy lifting.
- Super singles: Julio to be carded (11/4, Unibet). Over 2.5 Man Utd goals (11/10, McBookie).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining BTTS at Arsenal with over 2.5 goals pays 115/100.
