Thomas Tuchel's England reign begins to tonight as the Three Lions take on Albania at Wembley in a World Cup qualifier.
The German has inherited a talented group of players from Gareth Southgate and the remit is to get England over the line in a major tournament after losing the last two Euro finals.
They should top a World Cup qualifying group that also includes Serbia, Latvia and Andorra, and it will be fascinating to see how Tuchel shapes up in his first game against the Albanians.
England vs Albania top betting tips
Albania are no mugs, as they showed at Euro 2024 last summer, but it's hard to see the Three Lions slipping up at home.
BoyleSports make Tuchel's side 1/7 hot favourites, with the Albanians as big as 18/1, so the bookies clearly expect a comfortable home win.
Albania have drawn a blank in three of their last five matches so that's why an England win to nil is priced at just 4/7. There's more value in backing the Three Lions to win both halves as that pays 5/4.
Jude Bellingham should play a key role in any success England have under Tuchel and the Real Madrid star looks good at 13/8 for anytime scorer. The odds are better for an assist at 3/1 with Bet365 and that's more tempting.
Romania vs Bosnia-Herzegovina top betting tips
The rest of the World Cup qualifying action tonight isn't very inspiring but Bosnia's trip to Romania is an intriguing game.
The Bosnians suffered heavy defeats in the Nations League, but they were in a group with big-hitters Germany and the Netherlands.
Romania won all six of their Nations League matches but they were in Group C2 against much kinder opposition in Cyprus, Kosovo and Lithuania.
Home advantage should just give them the edge tonight and BoyleSports make Romania 4/5 favourites. Adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/8 and that looks decent value.
Razvan Marin netted six times in the Nations League campaign for Romania, with four of those goals coming from the spot. He's 7/2 for anytime scorer tonight and that looks overpriced based on those stats.
Partick Thistle vs Raith Rovers top betting tips
There's one game in the SPFL Championship tonight and it's a big one in the race for the play-offs as Partick Thistle host Raith.
The Jags sit in the last play-off spot and hold a seven-point lead over both Rovers and Morton with just seven games to go.
A Raith win tonight would shake things up but BoyleSports make Partick 5/4 favourites. That looks a decent price, with Thistle unbeaten in four and winning their last two.
Rovers can take heart from the fact they beat the Jags 3-0 at home just a few weeks ago but they've gone four without a win on the road.
We should see a lot of corners in this one as Raith need to go for the win and over 9.5 flag kicks pays 23/20 at BoyleSports.
