The EFL gets back underway tonight and Luton Town will be looking to lay down a marker in their League One opener with AFC Wimbledon.
It has been a disastrous few years for the Hatters, with the club suffering back-to-back relegations after the high of reaching the Premier League promised land.
They now face an AFC Wimbledon side who have their tails up after being promoted from League Two so it will be fascinating to see if Luton can halt their slide.
Luton Town vs AFC Wimbledon top betting tips
With two leagues separating these sides last season, BoyleSports make Luton Town their 4/9 hot favourites, with AFC Wimbledon 5/1 outsiders and the draw paying 16/5.
Although the Hatters ended up being relegated, they actually finished last season in good form, losing just one of their final 10 games. They won three of their last four and boss Matt Bloomfield will be confident of getting them back on the up again.
Home advantage should give them the edge tonight and backing Luton to be winning at half-time and full-time boosts the odds to 13/10.
The pitch is tight at Kenilworth Road and you often see plenty of corners, with Town winning 18 in their final home game of last term, albeit helped by an early red card for Coventry.
So I fancy over 10 corners at evens with Bet365 while the same firm price over five first-half corners at 6/4.
Arbroath vs Ayr United
The new SPFL season also kicks off tonight with a Championship clash between Arbroath and Ayr United at Gayfield.
The Honest Men will be looking to mount another promotion push after coming up short in the play-offs last term.
Scott Brown's side impressed in the League Cup groups and qualified for the last 16 as one of the three best runners-up.
Arbroath have come up from League One and home form will be key to them avoiding a quick return to the third tier. They held Premiership St Mirren to a draw in the League Cup but I fancy Ayr to come out on top tonight.
BoyleSports make them 5/6 favourites but you can boost the odds to 11/8 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
Ayr striker George Oakley netted five times in the League Cup group stage so he looks worth a punt at 7/5 with Bet365 for another goal tonight.
Mechelen vs Club Brugge
Club Brugge started the Belgian season with a big win over title rivals Genk last week and will be looking to follow it up with another three points on the road at Mechelen tonight.
Mechelen finished eighth last term and picked up a point in their opener with promoted Zulte Waregem. It would be a surprise if they took anything off Brugge though and BoyleSports make them 3/1 outsiders tonight.
Club Brugge are just 8/13 for another win but adding on over 1.5 goals boost the odds to a decent 10/11 with BoyleSports.
There's more value in the player markets and Brugge stalwart Hans Vanaken looks a bit overpriced at 13/5 with Bet365 for anytime scorer.

I’ve mentioned East Kilbride on here a few times recently as their games are good for goals. They’re playing Spartans at home on Saturday in their first game in league 2. Their manager Mick Kennedy doesn’t change the way they play so expect the same style of football in the league as they’ve played in the cup(and friendlies) if u count them. Over 3.5 goals is 6/4. Over 4.5 is 18/5. Maybe they’re due a low scoring game but on recent form it doesn’t look likely🤞🤞🤞
Fredericia 🇩🇰 (5.00pm)
Mechelen 🇧🇪 (7.45pm)
Over 10.5 corners double 4.39/1 , 👍
Anyone else think that Motherwell 6/1 at home to beat Rangers tomorrow are a bit overpriced ?
I’d agree with that mate. Especially after Rangers getting a good result in Europe on Wednesday. They usually have a slump after playing in Europe.
Yeah mate 6/1 is far to big to ignore .
Not posted here for a while and surprised how quiet it is having not visited for a while!
Anyway, here is a speculative goals ACCA (and corners on Luton game as highlighted) on this evenings matches:
Luton game Over 11.5 corners @ 8/5
Twente W v London City Lionesses Over 2.5mgs @ 2/5
Wacker Berghausen v Augsburg II Over 2.5mgs @ 8/15
Sittard v Leverkusen Over 2.5mgs @ 1/3
Samsunspor v Dunkerque Over 2.5mgs @ 11/20
Fivefold pays 10/1
Good luck all 👍
Ayr. Club Brugge. Wisla Plock. BTTS and win treble pays 62/1 (with a bit of luck) on Hills betting terminal 👍👍👍

BTTS 15-8
Prediction 1-4.
Big gulf in class.
Finished 1-6 last season
On fire mate 👍👏
Lol.
Finished 2-4.
HILLS restricted me to £20 at 9-5 then promptly suspended betting on it 30 minutes before kick off.
Was going to top it up the shithouses.
I know I bang on about HILLS but they are squeezing the life out of goal hunters especially if they’re not in the tier 1 leagues.
Betfreds new bgt is as bad.
There are hardly any TEAM TO SCORE options and any games anymore..
Flicked through HILLS BTTS odds on league one and two tomorrow and they’re nearly all about 4-7, 8-13 or worse.
One was 8-11, I used to regard 8-11 as not worthy of posting as a tip, 4-5 probably the lowest I’d go.
Now I’m being priced out of commission almost.
888sport are pretty good for these “more obscure” markets Elvis – they seem to be using the same software as Hills and prices are comparable. They are also less likely to restrict (well, they are one of the few who haven’t gubbed me yet!)
They are a bit sneaky though. If you look at markets like corners and cards, they don’t offer the usual “over X” markets (e.g. over 8.5 corners). Instead they offer ranges (e.g. between 8 – 10 corners) which are a lot more unfriendly towards punters.
Could be worth getting an 888 accoujnt if you don’t already have one.
A quick update, Elvis.
It seems 888Sport and William Hill are in the same group (although run separately), which is why they have the same software.
Hills have gubbed me, yet 888Sport are fine for me to have an account. So, it could be a way for you to place more if you’re being restricted by Hills.
Scandalous behaviour from the rat bookies
