There's a cracker in the EFL Championship tonight as title favourites Leeds United host a Sheffield United side who have yet to taste defeat in the league.
Only goal difference is keeping the Blades off the summit so I'm surprised to see them as big as 10/3 for a win at Elland Road with Betano.
Leeds sit fifth but would have moved up a couple of places had they not shipped a stoppage-time leveller to leaders Sunderland in their last outing.
Daniel Farke's side are now showing the form that made the bookies back them for glory but Sheffield United also look in good shape for an instant return to the Premier League so it should be a good contest.

Leeds United vs Sheffield United top betting tips
This game should be similar to Leeds United's clash with Sunderland and that game was a cracker as the teams battled out a 2-2 draw packed with incident.
Betting on BTTS pays just 31/40 with Betano for this one but adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/10.
Callum O'Hare hasn't replicated his Coventry City scoring form at Sheffield United yet but he remains a threat. Bet365 price him at 7/4 just to have an effort on target and that looks decent value.
Cards could be another market worth exploring and Blades stopper Anel Ahmedhodzic is 7/4 at Bet365 to go in the book.
Hamilton Academical vs Falkirk top betting tips
There's action in the Scottish Championship tonight as well as leaders Falkirk bid to move five points clear with a win at Hamilton.
Since beating title rivals Ayr, the Bairns have drawn their last two games against Livingston and Partick Thistle. But they outclassed the Jags on Saturday and should have won that game comfortably.
Hamilton are having a decent season after joining Falkirk in stepping up from League One. I thought Accies would be in a relegation battle but they currently sit four points clear of the drop zone in seventh place.
Falkirk still have a better team though and that's why Betano make them 8/15 hot favourites for the win.
Going for goals is a better option for punters and combining over 2.5 strikes with over 7.5 corners pays 51/50 in a Betano bet builder.
For a longer-odds option, Falkirk winger Calvin Miller is 9/2 at Bet365 for anytime scorer and already has two goals to his name this season.
Newport County vs Chesterfield top betting tips
Rodney Parade has been a fortress for Newport County this season so I'm surprised to see them as big as 7/2 for a win when Chesterfield come calling in League Two tonight.
Betano make the visitors 7/10 hot favourites and that's probably because they're on a five-game run without a defeat. But four of those matches have been draws and Newport County have won four of their five home league games so far, with the only defeat coming to leaders Port Vale.
That makes me think a Newport County win looks good value and you can even get them at 23/20 with Bet365 in the double chance. That looks an excellent price given Chesterfield have been drawing so many games of late.
It could be a tight one so the half-time stalemate also appeals at 13/10 with Betano.

Anderlecht win
Newport county +1.5 Asian handicap

Australian A League starts againg today with CCM v MV.
Couple of anytime goalscorer picks I like from both sides.
Michael Doka (CCM) 5/1 – advanced Right Back who takes penalties for the champions. Scored 7 goals last season and already has 2 this season in AFC and Oz Cup games (1 was a pen)
Nishan Velupillay (MV) 4/1 – Winger who has scored 5 in 5 already this season in Oz Cup games and got called up to Oz squad as a result. Confidence high.
Worth a go, given both sides likely to score.
Nikolaos Vergos will likely start up front for MV ahead of 37 year old Fornaroli, and is the second favourite for the golden boot, so he’s also worth a look, as likely on pens at just over 2/1.

Hard game to predict as the Lynx are going to have to bounce back from losing the previous game to a last second three pointer and will either be without Smith or playing with her injured. However even New York would probably prefer a Lynx win in this one as they’d rather win the series in front of their home fans. I think Lynx can keep it competitive for the first half at least and am backing:
McBride +4.5 Q1 points 8/13
Williams 15+ points 11/8 She missed this last game (12pts) but hit in the prev 2 games v NY and in 3/5 semi final games
Stewart +1.5 made 3s evens. Has hit in the prev 3 games
There are no lines on Smith yet as not confirmed whether she is in or out but if she is confirmed in, I would take under 9.5 points or under 15.5 points + rebounds as they will have to limit her minutes with the injury

Rothes vs Strathspey Thistle
Over 3.5mgs @ 19/20 (bet365) Nap
Battle of the two worst teams in the league tomorrow and while both score few goals themselves they both concede a lot. Both teams will see this as their best chance of points on the table and see no reason why both teams won’t go for it. Head to head wise, this pair haven’t had a game go unders since 2016, and have seen 37 goals between them in their last 5 games against each other. Rothes are on an awful run, scoring 2 goals in their last five games, and 2 goals in their last 5 home games. Strathspey have been more than competitive against teams at the bottom of the league and ground out a 3-3 draw in their last away game against Nairn county who are a much better outfit than Rothes. Both teams should contribute here and reckon this will drift to over 4.5mgs tomorrow which I would be more hesitant of taking.
Loyers W vs Club Brugge 2 W
Over 4.5mgs @ 13/10 (bet365) Nb
Have been following Loyers games when listed this season after getting on their opening game which finished 8-2 and kept an eye on them since. Away from home they seem to grind out low scoring results while home games tend to be a free for all goals wise. Luckily, bet365 have only listed their home games this season and have had a stake of some sort in each one. 26 goals in 5 home games and hoping for more of the same tomorrow. Club Brugge blow hot and cold goals wise but feel will be drawn into a game against free scoring home side Loyers.
Small stake
East Kilbride vs Hearts B
Over 4.5mgs @ 6/4 (bet365)
East Kilbride have been on a great run of form, 8 against Cowdenbeath the other night, knocking championship side Airdrie out the cup ( and downing my bet last week! ) 7 against Berwick, 5 against Gretna. With 55 goals for in 12 games they know where the goal is and against a hearts B team who are struggling to pick up results could be another high scoring affair. Less confident on this than the other two hence a smaller stake but should run close with all four head to heads seeing at least 5 goals.
Over 2.5mgs treble @ 5/4 (bet365)
Above 3 games.
Good luck with your bets over the weekend 🤞
On a side note, I’m hoping to have time when listed to post it, but keep an eye out for Rangers B vs Stenhousemuir being listed for Tuesday night. I have been waiting on this game since drawn and personally think it will be a goals fest. Hoping over 3.5mgs will be around evens or above and if so will be an absolute steal. As I said I should manage to post when listed but if not then my advice would be to get on this game for goals and plenty of them.
