THE EFL Championship title race is hurtling towards a thrilling conclusion and Leeds United can ill afford a slip when they head to Middlesbrough tonight for a tricky fixture.
Leicester City returned to the summit with a win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday and it was massive as it moved the Foxes four points clear of third-placed Leeds with three games to go.
Winning the title now looks like a long shot for Daniel Farke's men but they still stand a chance of securing automatic promotion and a win tonight would move them above Ipswich into second.
Beating ninth-placed Middlesbrough won't be easy though and Michael Carrick's men also need a win to keep their faint hopes of a play-off push alive.

Middlesbrough v Leeds United: Top Betting Tips
This should be an open game as a draw suits neither side and the omens are good after Leeds United won 3-2 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. BTTS is just 8/11 at Unibet but if you add over 2.5 goals it increases the odds to 11/10 with William Hill.
Emmanuel Latte Lath is in red-hot form for Middlesbrough with four goals in his last three outings. SkyBet price the Ivorian forward at 15/8 to either score or assist and that looks good value.
Eight yellow cards and a red were flashed when these sides last faced off so it could be a busy night for the ref. Backing both sides for two or more cards pays 6/5 with Bet365 while Ethan Ampadu of Leeds is 11/5 with the same firm for a 12th card this term.
AC Milan v Inter Milan: Top Betting Tips
Inter Milan have the chance to seal the Serie A title in the derby tonight but city rivals AC Milan will be desperate to delay the coronation at the San Siro.
Simone Inzaghi's side have been a cut above the rest in Italy this term and lead second-placed AC Milan by 14 points with just six games to go. A win would seal the deal tonight and they are favourites at evens with 888Sport.
Going for cards is always a good option in a derby but chaos is even more likely for this one with so much at stake. Stefano Pioli's men are likely to go down kicking and look good value at 5/4 with Bet365 for most cards.
Roma v Bologna: Top Betting Tips
Roma knocked AC Milan out of the Europa League in midweek and will be looking to follow that up with another big win over Bologna in the race for a top-four place.
Surprise package Bologna currently sit in Serie A's last Champions League place but only lead Roma by four points and have played a game more than Danielle De Rossi's side.
Successive 0-0 draws to Frosinone and Monza have halted Bologna's momentum but that big European game on Thursday night could make Roma a bit tired for this one.
It's a tough one to call and the half-time draw looks good at evens with Unibet while Roma stopper Gianluca Mancini appeals for a card at 8/5 after going in the book 12 times this term.

I have opted for 2 singles today and a possible double. Starting in Holland where jong az host VVV in what I’m hoping is a fixture full of goals.
Looking at h2hs and the last 5 have seen btts+o2.5.
Form also points to goals, especially when looking at the home side. In their last 8 games 7 have seen btts while 6 of those have also gone o2.5. Their last 2 produced 5 goals.
VVV aren’t quite so impressive but I’m willing to overlook that.
Btts+o2.5mgls@5/6
My second single sees me heading to Switzerland again.
2nd place thun are hosting leaders sion. With only a few games left to play and 7 points between them this is a must win for thun which could see them cut the gap to 4 points with a game in hand. I’m hoping this leads to an open game with plenty of goals.
Looking at the h2hs the last 10 have seen btts with 8 of those also producing o2.5mgls.
Looking at form for thun shows they have only failed to score once at home all season. They have netted multiple goals in 11/19.
Sion away from home have only failed to score on 3 occasions. They have netted multiple times in 13.

Hey mate what’s reasoning behind this pick just curious as might get on it ?
Home form mate, won 6/7 which includes a win v title chasing Roda.
VVV have lost 4/5 away and haven’t won away since last November.
H2H wise from I saw Jong AZ have won 4/5 of the last meetings, the other game being a draw.
Looks good on paper, only worry would it being the AZ reserve team really and what team they put out.
Sorry should won 5 out of their last 6 at home 👍
4th minute red card for Jong AZ 🙈

Ullern vs KFUM 2
Over 3.5mgs @ 9/10 (bet365) Nap
( I’m taking this at the price offered however if you want to touch it over evens add over 1.5mgs in the Eik Tonsberg vs Viking 2 game ) .
Over 4.5mgs @ 7/4 (bet365)
Both teams seeing plenty of goals with Ullern seeing 5+ land in 6 out their last 8, two of which were league games where their games have finished 4-3 and 3-2. KFUM didn’t have any preseason games as they tend to play in the first team friendlies but in their two league games have seen 4-1 and 5-1 score lines. Both should contribute here to help add to the tally.
Good luck 🤞
For once I’m on 😀 Hope I don’t jinx you Bigwig!
Nailed it again pal 👍🏻
Nap lands which ensures the profit, shame they couldn’t find a 5th in the game. Some excellent shouts tonight 👍
A few for tomorrow with decent odds for an Acca or single.
