Tottenham Hotspur have made a shambolic start to the season but they can climb out of the Premier League drop zone with a home win over Coventry City tonight.
After a lavish summer spend to back new boss Roberto De Zerbi, the owners at Spurs would have expected a greater return on their investment than just three points from six Premier League games.
Tottenham prop up the pile but a victory tonight could move them up five places in the table and give the fans a bit of hope at last.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Coventry City
Coventry City made an even worse start to the campaign than Tottenham, losing their first four Premier League games, but Frank Lampard's men have since won two in a row.
They are finding their feet in the top flight and will fancy their chances of taking something tonight, although the bookies make them 21/4 outsiders.
Tottenham are just 1/2 to claim their first league win of the season and performances have picked up a bit, with three draws in their last four Premier League outings.
This could be the night their season sparks into life and I'm going to back De Zerbi's side to be winning at half-time and full-time, which pays 5/4 at Bet365.
Coventry scored four last time out against Newcastle and have plenty of firepower so we should see chances at both ends.
That makes the 6/4 on offer at Bet365 for Spurs keeper Antonin Kinsky to make over 2.5 saves another decent option, a bet that has landed in his last three outings.
Trabzonspor vs Besiktas
It's tight at the top in Turkey, with just six points separating first from seventh, and there's a huge game tonight as Trabzonspor lock horns with Besiktas.
A win for the visitors would move them a point behind leaders Galatasaray but Trabzonspor know a victory would see them leapfrog Besiktas and cut the gap at the top to three points.
Both teams claimed midweek wins away from home in Europe and are in good form so it's a tricky one to call.
BTTS has landed in the last four meetings so there could be some value in combining that with over 2.5 goals. That bet landed in both clashes last season and pays evens tonight.
It was a 3-3 thriller when Besiktas last came calling and backing another draw could pay off at 5/2.
Getafe vs Rayo Vallecano
Getafe and Rayo Vallecano find themselves hovering just above the drop zone in La Liga so both sides will be desperate for the points when they face off tonight.
These sides were slugging it out for European places last term and it was Getafe who pinched the final slot in the Conference League, pipping Rayo by just a point.
They had to travel to Romania for a 1-1 draw with Universitatea Craiova on Thursday while Rayo Vallecano have been able to rest and recover since last weekend's draw with Osasuna.
That could give the visitors the edge tonight and Rayo Vallecano are slight favourites at 13/8 with Bet365.
Backing them to win either half is a safer bet at 5/6 but I'm more drawn to a first-half goal for the visitors, which is priced at 13/8.
