The Conference League has been a pretty humbling experience for Hearts but if they do the double over RFS tonight they might be able to keep their faint qualification hopes alive.
Three heavy defeats to Basaksehir and Fiorentina have shown how far the Jambos lag behind top clubs but they took care of the group minnows over in Latvia.
And McBookie make them 4/6 favourites to defeat RFS back at Tynecastle, with the away side 10/3 outsiders and the draw paying 11/4.
Dodgy defending has cost Hearts dear this season and I cashed in by backing Celtic goals in Saturday’s 4-3 Premiership defeat to the champions.
So over 2.5 goals appeals tonight at 17/20 with Unibet and the odds increase to 9/4 if you go for over 3.5 strikes.
Lawrence Shankland heads into the game with his confidence soaring after a weekend hat-trick and he’s 23/20 with Unibet for anytime scorer.
West Ham have a perfect record in their group and should be too strong for Silkeborg in London.
I’d expect David Moyes to make changes and Michail Antonio is a tempting 8/5 at Unibet for anytime scorer.
In the Europa League, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return for Manchester United against Sheriff.
The Moldovans lost 3-0 at Sociedad last time out so United -2 appeals in the handicap at 20/21 with McBookie.
Arsenal visit PSV and I’m backing the Dutch side at +2 in the corner handicap (21/20, Bet365) as they need to go all out for the win.
- Super singles: Shankland to score (23/20, Unibet), PSV +2 corner handicap (21/20, Bet365).
- McBookie bet builder: Combining a West Ham win with a goal for Antonio pays 140/100.
