Oliver Glasner has made a bad start to his Nottingham Forest reign and needs a win tonight when they take on promoted Ipswich Town at Portman Road.
Having led Crystal Palace to FA Cup and Conference League glory, Glasner looked like a shrewd appointment by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.
But Forest find themselves sitting second bottom of the Premier League after seven games and the Greek's notoriously short patience will be tested if results don't improve soon.
Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
Ipswich were among the favourites for the drop after returning to the top flight but they've made a steady start, with three wins on the board already.
Two of those victories have come at Portman Road and boss Gary O'Neil will know strong home form is key to their hopes of survival.
Nottingham Forest have lost their last three but they're still 6/5 favourites with Bet365, who price the home win at 9/4.
A lack of firepower has cost Glasner dear so far, with just five goals in seven Premier League games, so going for under 2.5 match strikes may be worth a punt at 11/10.
Daizen Maeda opened his Ipswich account in last week's loss at Manchester City and the Japanese forward will be his usual bundle of energy.
He presses like a man possessed and backing Maeda for over 1.5 fouls in this one pays 6/5 with Bet365.
Bolton Wanderers vs Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough have the chance to go top of the EFL Championship tonight when they head to the Toughsheet Community Stadium to take on Bolton Wanderers.
Boro were edged out in the play-off final last season and it looks like they will make another promotion push under Kim Hellberg.
They have lost just one of their first 11 Championship games and victory tonight would lift them above both West Ham and Swansea to hit the summit.
Bolton did win promotion last season and have handled the step up pretty well, sitting midtable after winning four and losing five of their first 11 matches.
They've only lost one of their last five but Bet365 make Wanderers 17/4 outsiders tonight, with Middlesbrough 11/20 hot favourites.
That's probably because Bolton have lost three of their last four at home and combining a Boro win with over 2.5 goals tonight pays evens.
Will Lanskhear has been the main man for Middesbrough this season, with 11 goals in 14 outings, and I fancy him for over 1.5 efforts on target tonight at evens.
Stuttgart vs Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach have made a horror start to the Bundesliga season and will be looking to put their first points on the board when they head to fellow strugglers Stuttgart tonight.
Six successive defeats have left Gladbach fans fearing relegation for the first time in 20 years but all hope is not yet lost as they're only five points away from safety.
A win tonight would leave them just three points behind Stuttgart, who have struggled to hit the heights of last season.
A fourth-placed finish last term saw them seal a place in the Champions League but Sebastian Hoeness' men have lost both domestic games after European fixtures this season.
They drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night and there could be some fatigue after such an intense fixture.
That makes me think Borussia Monchengladbach look a bit overpriced at 13/2 with Bet365 and I'm going to back them in the double chance at 2/1.
They've also lost by just a one-goal margin in their last three games so Monchengladbach +2 is a safer option at 5/6.

- Will Lankshear over 1.5 shots on target Evens Bet365
