There's second-tier action on both sides of the border tonight, with Sheffield United's trip to Hull City taking top billing.
The Blades have made a decent start in the EFL Championship since relegation from the top flight, with two wins and two draws in their first four games.
Hull have drawn three of their league games so far and new boss Tim Walter seems to have concentrated on making them harder to beat.
With the Tigers having home advantage tonight, it should be a tight game and Sheffield United will need to be at their best to stay unbeaten,

Hull City vs Sheffield United top betting tips
Sheffield United are the stronger team but Hull will be a tough nut to crack at home so I'd be surprised if this was a thriller.
Under 2.5 goals pays 5/6 at Betfred while the half-time draw is a better value at 23/20. A one-goal winning margin for either side also appeals at 11/8 with McBookie.
Hull stopper Alfie Jones picked up seven yellows last term but has yet to go in the book this term. The stats suggest a card is overdue and he's a tasty 16/5 to fall foul of the referee.
Dunfermline Athletic vs Raith Rovers top tips
The SPFL Championship returns with a Friday night cracker as Dunfermline Athletic and Raith Rovers face off in a Fife derby.
Both sides have made terrible starts to the league campaign, with the Pars sitting bottom of the pile on just one point and Raith only one place and two points ahead of them.
It looked like Rovers would get the new manager bounce when Neill Collins had them 2-0 up at Ayr in the SPFL Trust Trophy last weekend. But he suffered a defeat on his dugout debut as Scott Brown's side rallied to win 3-2.
Dunfermline's form has picked up with a draw and a win in their last two so they might be worth a punt at 7/4 with home advantage.
Backing a tight game is usually the best option for a derby though and the half-time draw looks good here at 21/20.
We could see a lot of corners too and Bet365 price over 10 flag kicks at a tempting 11/10.
Borussia Dortmund vs Heidenheim top betting tips
There's a few games in Europe's top leagues tonight and I'm going to focus on Heidenheim's trip to Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
Heidenheim were a surprise package last term after winning promotion and ended up sealing European football after finishing eighth.
They've carried that momentum into the new campaign, winning all five games in all competitions, yet Betfred make them 15/2 rank outsiders at the Westfalen tonight.
That's because Dortmund's start has been decent too, with two wins and a draw in their three outings. Going for goals should pay off, with Heidenheim scoring at least two times in every match so far. Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals pays 19/20 in a Betfred bet builder.
Dortmund veteran Emre Can is usually good value for a card and he's 13/5 at Bet365 to go in the book.

Myanmar National League 10:30am
Perennial winners Shan United are away at a Mahar United side that they’ve beaten in 9 of 10 H2H meetings and drawn the other.
Shan haven’t lost a league game since February 2020,a run that stretches 63 games of which they’ve won 54.
They’ve won they’re last 9 away from home in the league and conceded in 8 of those wins.
Mahar United are midtable and shouldn’t cause Shan too much problems. However they’ve scored in 7 of 9 league outings including 9 in 4 homes and managed to find the net in 4 of the last 6 H2H meetings which all ended in defeats.
Shan United win & BTTS 6/4

And it’s just appeared on Hills at the same price 6/4, whether it’s on the terminal in store is another matter 😬 time will tell

The hosts have picked up at least one card in their last 11 games. And all of those have seen three goals or more, nine of which have had goals at both ends. Both teams have scored in last four H2Hs with three or more goals registered. Over 3.5 goals at 1/1 also worth considering. GL
Looking good.

You know your couple weeks too late? Came off though lol City have got Brentford tomorrow? Maybe me or the thread! 😅
Had a shocking experience with LiveScorebet today. Placed a bet on an American football match with the away team needing to cover an 83.5 handicap. They were 70 points up going into last quarter, so 15 mins to play which was showing on the inplay console. But from reports it seems that the coaches decided on the hoof to play just six mins. Console then changes to show 90 seconds left, meaning no chance for my bet to win. Took it up asking for it to be voided on their information being wrong and they told me it’s my responsibility to check what they are telling me is right and refused. Now found out this morning from a pal that they have voided bets for people who backed the other team plus 83.5 points saying they gained and unfair advantage, so nobody wins, absolute cake and eating it job. Beware, a crap crap bookie with zero customer care or service.
Refused to even pass it to a manager, just quoted a load of terms and conditions, which cover them for everything bar nuclear war!
Wouldn’t give them another penny of your doe if I was you
No intention of ever using them again
For reference, Livescore also own/operate VirginBet – I’ve looked at their sporting rules for you, and they are deliberately vague (especially about events ending early, which the majority of other bookies will typically void)
FWIW, I would personally avoid VirginBet and Livescore as their rules are definitely more anti-punter than most other firms.
Yeah it was really poor. How on earth am I to know two coaches on the side of a park are ending a match early?! When they clearly didn’t either. To then void bets that won on the game but keep my £50 and mark it as a last beggars belief.
You need to take them to task on this.
Formal complaint, letter before action, IBAS if required. Stick to your guns.
These vague terms won’t stand up to consumer law.
Think they bank on you not having the heart for the fight.
SIPG having a stinker 😭🤮
