Leeds United remain red-hot favourites for the EFL Championship crown and they have the chance to return to the top of the pile when they host Sunderland tonight.
Sheffield United hit the summit on Saturday as a 1-0 win at Luton Town moved them one point clear of Daniel Farke's side. But the bookies fancy Leeds United to knock them off the peak tonight, with BoyleSports making them 8/15 hot favourites with home advantage.
Sunderland won't be pushovers though and a win for the fourth-placed Black Cats would leave them just four points behind their hosts in the battle for automatic promotion.
Leeds United vs Sunderland top betting tips
Sunderland have gone eight games without defeat in the Championship while Leeds haven't tasted defeat in the league since way back in November so this should be a close game.
Farke's side lost to Millwall in the FA Cup in their last home game but the manager made a host of changes for that game and will field his strongest available side today.
Leeds won to nil in their four Elland Road outings before that cup tie so that bet stands a chance tonight at 7/5 with BoyleSports.
Welsh winger Dan James is in terrific form for Leeds and hit a double in their last outing at Watford. He's 2/1 for anytime scorer here while Bet365 price him at 10/3 for an assist.
Six yellows were flashed when these sides drew 2-2 earlier in the season so backing both teams for two or more cards appeals at 6/5 with Bet365.
Barcelona v Rayo Vallecano top betting tips
Barcelona also have the chance to go top in La Liga tonight if they can see off surprise package Rayo Vallecano in Catalonia.
Both Madrid clubs dropped points on Saturday with 1-1 draws so Barca can jump from third to first if they collect three points.
BoyleSports make them 2/11 red-hot favourites and Rayo have been written off as 9/1 outsiders. But Inigo Perez's men have made a habit of defying the odds in a season that sees them sit in sixth place.
Going for goals is always the smartest bet with Hansi Flick's side, with five of their last six matches seeing four goals or more. Rayo have kept clean sheets in their last two games but it's hard to see them keeping out a vibrant Barcelona side who have netted nine times in their last two outings.
Over 3.5 Barcelona strikes pays 13/8 with BoyleSports but there's probably more value in the player markets. Wonderkid Lamine Yamal has netted 11 times this season so the winger looks good at 6/4 for anytime scorer.
Genoa vs Venezia top betting tips
Venezia are fighting for their lives in the Serie A drop zone and will be desperate for a morale-boosting victory when they head to Genoa tonight.
Eusebio Di Francesco's side are in the midst of a horror run that has seen them win just once in their last 14 matches in all competitions.
Mid-table Genoa are in much better shape and have lost just twice in their last seven outings. They're just 4/5 with BoyleSports for a home win but adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/10 in a bet builder.
With Venezia desperate for the points this could be a busy night for the ref and the strugglers appeal at 20/21 with Bet356 to pick up most cards. Backing them at -1 in the card handicap boosts those odds to 12/5.

Mount Pleasant FA v Humble Lions
Jamaica league 🇯🇲
17 Feb 22:00
Humble lions to score 🦁 to score 13-10 HILLS.
Top v bottom
Pleasant only conceded 2 at home all season and gave already qualified for the play offs.
Lions know a defeat will more or less confirm relegation.
Lions have lost the last 2 games here 1-0 but scored in the 4 before that.
Interesting is the fact the lions have scored against teams ranked 2-5 recently while pleasant have conceded against the 3 teams just above the lions in their last 3 games.
Lions scored in 10 of their last 11 games
Lions seen BTTS in their last 7 away games.
Most of these games ended in defeats.
In play. Luke onien (Sunderland) to be booked 3/1
Nice 👍
Booked 93rd minute. Boys a bit of a tit to be honest should have been booked first half hence I put him up
