Aberdeen and Hibs recorded comfortable wins to put themselves in pole position in their Europa Conference League ties. 5-1 and 3-0 wins respectively puts them in a commanding position for next week's return legs in Sweden and Andorra.
Tougher matches await the Scottish duo but they'll be delighted with their night's work and another step closer to the group stages of the competition.
Linfield were also big winners with a 4-0 win over Bosnian side Borac while Larne were flying the flag for Northern Ireland too with a 2-1 win over Aarhus.
Well done to everyone that managed a winner on last night's Conference League matches.
Elsewhere on Thursday the men's football tournament at the Olympics kicked-off. Brazil's impressive 4-2 win over Germany in Japan has seen them shorten to 2/1 favourites to win the gold medal. Spain are second faves despite an opening 0-0 draw with Egypt.
Australia's 2-0 win over Argentina was biggest surprise of the day but the Aussies are still 100/1 outsiders for gold. The next round of matches take place on Monday – all live on Eurosport's channels.
Friday is a quiet one with just a handful of games across European top flights. Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg. Coach Jesse Marsch has departed for RB Leipzig but that shouldn't stop Die Roten Bullen from dominating the domestic scene once more.
The 8-in-a-row champions are just 1/5 to defend their crown and start at Sturm Graz where they're 8/15 to win. Add in Over 2.5 Goals in the match and you've got an even money BetBuilder at Bet365.
Our main focus is in the MLS where Tolu has previewed an early match between Austin FC and Seattle Sounders.
We'll add more previews for the weekend matches on Friday ahead of the final round of matches in the Premier Sports Cup group stages in Scotland. Good luck if you're having a bet today.

BTTS 2-1 (HILLS)
Over 4.5 match goals EVENS (HILLS)
Terrible trujillanos in action again.
They are truly terrible but at 2-1 it’s always worth a LONGSHOT bet as own goals, penalties can happen especially in these poor leagues where corruption is rife.
Merida won 7-0 away recently at terrible trujillanos so over 4.5 goals at EVENS at hills should have a good shout as terrible trullijanos lost 6-0 last time out also ☹️
Prediction 6-1

First tip after a long time.
Heading to morocco for the penultimate matchday of the season.
RAJA CLUB ATHLETIC v RENAISSANCE ZEMAMRA
Zemamra to score (6/5, bet365) ~NAP
Btts&overs (9/4, bet365) ~NB
They faced eachother only 4 times in recent history but all 4 saw btts.
Although Raja are figthing for 2nd place their current form is mediocre. They also conceded in 4 of the last 5 league games.
Zemamra on the other hand seem to be really figthing to stay in the division, not losing for 8 games now and scoring in 7 of those 8. I think they should be confident enough to find the net atleast once.
Shame. Red card in 2nd half prob killed it and to rub salt into the wound all other games saw bbts&overs🙈
Peter Wright most 180s v Smith. Double your dough. Wright been lethal on the lipstick
