Paris St-Germain were getting back to their best before the international break and will be out to build more momentum when the Ligue 1 campaign gets back underway with a clash against Toulouse tonight.
A surprise 3-1 home loss to Monaco last month put their title defence in jeopardy but PSG have responded by crushing Chelsea in Europe and romping to a 4-0 win in Nice.
So it would be a surprise if Luis Enrique's side failed to open up a four-point lead over Lens by beating mid-table Toulouse at the Parc des Princes.
Paris St-Germain vs Toulouse top betting tips
Toulouse head to Paris with their confidence boosted by back-to-back wins over Metz and Lorient before the international break.
But they had gone six Ligue 1 games without a win before that and were spanked 6-3 by the champions in Toulouse earlier this season.
So it's no surprise to see Enrique's men as 1/3 hot favourites tonight, although you can boost those odds to a decent 20/23 by backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hit a double for Georgia during the break and should start tonight. The in-form winger is 29/20 at BetMGM for a goal and that looks decent value.
Middlesbrough vs Millwall
There's a full card of Good Friday fixtures in the EFL Championship and Millwall can jump above Middlesbrough into second if they win at the Riverside this afternoon.
Boro were looking good for the title a few weeks ago but they've fallen nine points behind Coventry after failing to win any of their last three games.
Having racked up four wins in a row, Millwall have also stuttered a bit of late, taking just a point from their last two matches.
This is a tough one to call but the bookies give Middlesbrough the edge, with the home win just 8/11 with most firms.
That's probably because they won 3-0 in the reverse fixture but that was way back in August so I'm not sure if that's a great gauge.
I'm going for corners in this one, give the Lions' last two games have produced a total of 33. Backing over 10.5 flag kicks pays 42/41 at Unibet while over 4.5 Millwall corners is 31/20 with Paddy Power.
Coventry City vs Derby County
Coventry City can see the finishing line in the Championship title race and it would be a surprise if they stumbled at home to Derby County tonight.
Frank Lampard's side have recovered from their winter wobble to race clear at the top with a run of seven wins in their last eight matches.
Derby's form is also impressive, with four wins from their last five, and that has fired them to within striking distance of the play-off places.
They're still 5/1 outsiders away to leaders but, given their recent form, the Rams could offer some value at 7/5 with StarSports in the double chance.
We saw eight goals when City won 5-3 in Derby earlier this season so it bodes well for a decent spectacle. Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals tonight pays a decent 6/5 with SkyBet.

Hello I placed an own goal bet on the cambridge game last night 12/1 bet 365 paid out then withdrew after bet review. Opta have it as Gibbons own goal when I check my bets settled this bet is not showing at all I also followed golden oldies both teams to score bet this coming up as won on my bets anyone know why the own goal bet isn’t showing on my bets page.
I have e mailed 365 but no reply am 78 years old and I haven’t got a scooby do thank you
It’s showing as an own goal on Livescore aswell David. If Opta have settled it as an own goal you should be fine I’d assume mate. Bookies will just be dragging their heels as usual
Go onto the Live Chat with bet365 and speak to them about it. Much quicker than waiting on an email response
