RANGERS will be looking to kill off Alashkert in the first leg of their Europa League play-off at Ibrox tonight.
With the return leg in Armenia coming just days before an Old Firm game, Steven Gerrard’s men will be desperate to rack up an insurmountable lead.
They smashed five past Dunfermline in the League Cup last week to bounce back from the pain of their Champions League exit.
And I fancy more goals tonight, with over 2.5 Gers strikes a decent 5/6 at Unibet and the price increasing to 9/4 with the same firm for over 3.5.
Over 1.5 first-half goals also appeals at 11/10 at McBookie while Ianis Hagi looks a good shout for anytime scorer at 6/5 with the same firm.
In the Conference League, Aberdeen face a daunting game in Azerbaijan against a Qarabag side with good European pedigree.
Qarabag have been group stage regulars so they look great value for a first-leg win at 11/8 with SBK.
There have been just four goals in Qarabag’s four qualifiers so far and that makes under 2.5 strikes appealing at 3/4 with Boylesports.
Betting against BTTS is a little better at evens with Paddy Power.
St Johnstone also face a difficult first leg away to Austrian side LASK Linz but can take heart from their brave display against Galatasaray.
LASK smashed six past Vojvodina in the last round but that’s the only game this season where they’ve scored more than one goal.
So I’m backing a cagey first leg, with under 2.5 goals a best 28/29 at SBK. A one-goal winning margin for either side also looks decent at 8/5 with McBookie.
Spurs face Pacos de Ferreira in Portugal after shutting out Manchester City to claim a surprise win in their Premier League opener.
Nuno Espirito Santo knows how to drill a defence so a Tottenham win to nil appeals at 13/8 (McBookie).
