Friday’s football tips: Hull hitman McBurnie 6/4 for over 1.5 fouls in play-off battle with Millwall

The EFL Championship play-offs get underway tonight and it's scrap between the Tigers and Lions as they hunt a place in the Premier League.

Hull City scraped into the top six on the final day and they now host a Millwall side who just missed out on automatic promotion.

Neither side was fancied to go up before a ball was kicked this season but one of them will book a place at Wembley for the most lucrative game in club football.

Hull City vs Millwall top betting tips

Hull's final-day victory over Norwich ended a six-game run without a win but four of those matches were draws so their form hasn't been that bad.

Millwall's results have been much better, losing just one of their last eight, and they're on a run of five games without defeat.

Two of the Lions' last three on the road have ended level while the same stat applies for Hull's last three at home. That suggests the stalemate could be worth a punt tonight at 23/10 with Ladbrokes while the half-time draw is a safer bet at 6/5 with 888Sport.

Oli McBurnie heads into this game off the back of a match-winning double last weekend and the Hull striker is a tempting 13/5 at BetMGM for over 1.5 efforts on target. The Scotland international also looks good value for over 1.5 fouls at 6/4 with Bet365.

Arbroath vs Dunfermline

There's play-off action in Scotland as well tonight as Dunfermline head to Arbroath for the second leg of their quarter-final clash.

The Pars have a slender advantage after winning 1-0 in Fife on Tuesday night to bring up one of our Super Singles.

But Arbroath will fancy their chances back at Gayfield, having only lost twice at home all season. One of those defeats was inflicted by leaders St Johnstone and the other was a 5-0 hammering by Dunfermline in September.

The Red Lichties got their revenge with a 4-2 win when the Pars last came calling in February so tonight's game is a tricky one to call.

It was cagey and tense in the first leg and I'm expecting more of the same tonight so under 2.5 goals looks worth a punt at 11/10 with Betfred.

The pitch at Gayfield is quite tight and we could see a few corners as Arbroath try to get back into the tie. Backing over 10 flag kicks pays evens with Bet365.

Levante vs Osasuna

Levante are running out of time in their bid to beat the drop in La Liga and tonight's home clash with Osasuna is a probably a must-win if they're to save their skins.

With four games to go, Levante sit second bottom and need to make up a four-point deficit on Sevilla to stay in the top flight.

A 5-1 thrashing by Villarreal in their last game delivered another hit to morale and they now face an Osasuna side who still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe.

Osasuna have gone five away games without a win so that makes it a tricky one to call. A draw suits neither side at this stage of the season so it should be an open game and over 2.5 goals pays evens at William Hill.

Levante defender Matias Moreno has been good value for cards this season, racking up seven yellows. The Argentinian is 29/10 at William Hill to go into the book again tonight.
