There's some Friday night football in the Premier League this week as Wolverhampton Wanderers take on Aston Villa in a Midlands derby.
Villa's form has dipped, with just one win in five in all competitions, while Wolves have improved their performances while failing to pick up victories.
Rob Edwards' men are doomed to the drop but they'd love to be the team who delivers the fatal blow to Villa's fading title hopes.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Aston Villa top betting tips
It was pretty cagey when these sides faced off earlier in the season, with a single strike from Boubacar Kamara sealing victory for Aston Villa.
BTTS has failed to land in three of the last four meetings so there could be some value in betting against it tonight at 11/10 with Paddy Power.
Tolu Arokodare missed a penalty at Selhurst Park last weekend but has been pretty lively up front for Wolves. He has managed two or more shots on target in three of his last five outings and is 10/13 at BetMGM to test the keeper tonight.
Andre was booked in the last meeting and the Wolves midfielder has amassed 12 yellows this term. He's 5/2 at Coral for another card and 23/20 with the same firm for over 1.5 fouls.
Bristol City vs Watford
Watford's play-off hopes are fading in the EFL Championship thanks to a worrying slump and they desperately need to get back on track tonight away to Bristol City.
The Hornets have claimed just one win in their last 10 matches in all competitions yet are still only six points behind sixth-placed Wrexham.
Bristol City are two points ahead of tonight's visitors and the Robins are in better form, with three wins in their last six.
They won 2-1 at Blackburn in midweek while Watford were losing 2-0 to Ipswich at Vicarage Road so the home win could be worth a punt tonight at 27/20 with Bet365.
Aussie kid Nestory Irankunda has struggled for discipline this season, with the Watford midfielder amassing 10 yellows and one red. He's 10/3 at Bet365 for another card tonight and that looks a bit generous based on those numbers.
Strasbourg vs Lens
Lens have the chance to go back to the Ligue 1 summit tonight but it won't be easy on the road against a dangerous Strasbourg side.
The French title race is proving much more competitive than most people thought it would be, with shock troops Lens just two points behind European champions PSG after 23 games.
They've won 14 of their last 16 games in all competitions but did suffer a 3-2 home loss to Monaco in their last outing.
Strasbourg sit seventh but their home form has been strong, with five wins in their last six at Stade de la Meinau.
That points towards a close game tonight and the half-time draw looks good at 11/8 with SkyBet.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals has landed in the last six for Strasbourg so combining those bets tonight could pay off at 7/8 with Betway.
