Coventry City have the chance to move out of the Premier League drop zone tonight but it won't be easy when Newcastle United come calling.
Frank Lampard's side got off the mark in the final game before the international break when they won 1-0 away to Nottingham Forest.
The three-week hiatus stopped Coventry from building some momentum and they've had to reset ahead of a tricky game against a Magpies side who have lost just once in five Premier League outings.
Coventry City vs Newcastle United top betting tips
Coventry have lost four of their five games since making the step up to the Premier League so it's not a great surprise to see them as Bet365's 21/10 outsiders tonight.
Newcastle have made a decent start under new gaffer Matthias Jaissle but they were trounced 4-1 at Elland Road on their last road trip.
So I'm wary of backing them at 6/5 tonight and the smartest bet is probably going for goals at both ends.
Jaissle plays an adventurous style of football and it has led to plenty of thrillers, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals landing in five of their seven games in all competitions.
Combining those two bets tonight only pays 10/11 but over 1.5 first-half goals is a bit bigger at 5/4.
I'm going to go for a shots double and combining over 0.5 efforts on target for Harvey Barnes and Brandon Thomas-Asante pays 13/8.
Barnes has tested the keeper in his last three outings while Thomas-Asante has got efforts on target in his last two.
Levante vs Sevilla
Sevilla have made a strong start to the new La Liga season and will be looking to build more momentum with a win away to struggling Levante tonight.
The fallen giants have been going through a lean spell, with Sevilla finishing 12th or lower in the last four seasons.
But they're back in the hunt for Champions League places after banking 13 points from seven games under Luis Garcia Plaza.
Their only defeats this season have come against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona so Sevilla will fancy their chances against a Levante side with just one win to their name this season.
I'm surprised to see Sevilla as big as 13/8 with Bet365 given their impressive start to the season and backing them to win either half pays a decent 5/6.
Atalanta vs Venezia
Venezia have been the whipping boys of Serie A so far this season and it's hard to hold out much hope for them tonight away to Atalanta.
The Serie B champions have found the step up in class hard to bridge, losing all five games and shipping 13 goals.
Atalanta went four games unbeaten in all competitions in a promising start to the campaign but have since lost three in a row in Serie A.
They will be desperate to end the slump tonight and Bet365 make them 4/7 hot favourites with home advantage.
Given Venezia's woeful form, I'm going to back Atalanta to be winning at half-time and full-time, which pays 13/10.
Atalanta's last two home games have produced a combined eight corners so backing under 8.5 flag kicks could pay off tonight at 5/6.
