The FA Cup fifth round comes to a climax tonight with an intriguing London derby between West Ham United and Brentford.
The Hammers are in the midst of a cut-throat relegation fight but can play with the pressure off a bit as they plot a path to Wembley.
Brentford can also play freely with Premier League safety secured months ago and the Bees will be looking to enjoy a memorable cup run this season.
West Ham United vs Brentford top betting tips
A lot will depend on how strong a team Nuno Espirito Santo picks for this cup tie as the priority for West Ham is avoiding a catastrophic fall into the Championship.
He has fielded pretty much second-string sides so far in the Cup, with the Hammers needing extra-time to see off both QPR and Burton Albion.
Brentford are more likely to be at full strength so Keith Andrews' men could be worth a punt at 5/4 with Bet365 for a win inside 90 minutes. They also outplayed the Hammers in a 2-0 win on their last visit to the London Stadium.
We saw 16 corners in that clash back in October so it may also pay to back over 10.5 corners at 10/11. You can get above evens by going for over five first-half corners at 6/4 with Bet365.
Espanyol vs Real Oviedo
Real Oviedo are looking increasingly doomed to the drop in La Liga and it's hard to see them avoiding defeat against Espanyol on the road tonight.
Guillermo Almada's side have won just three of their 26 league games this season and have chalked up a single victory in their last 20 in all competitions.
The good news for Oviedo is that Espanyol are also in a slump after flying out the traps at the start of the season.
Los Periquitos are on a nine-game run without a win, which has seen them lose a lot of ground in the race for a European place.
Bet365 still make them 17/20 favourites at home to the team propping up the pile but you can boost their odds to 11/8 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
BTTS has landed just once in the last five meetings so it could pay to be against it tonight, although the odds aren't great at just 4/5.
Lazio vs Sassuolo
Lazio's season has gone off the rails in the last few months and they need to get back on track with a win over Sassuolo on Rome tonight.
Maurizio Sarri's return to the hotseat hasn't gone to plan and Lazio sit in the bottom half of Serie A after winning just eight of their 27 games so far.
Their last 14 games in all competitions have produced just two victories inside 90 minutes and the giants sit four points behind Sassuolo in the table.
The visitors are in superb form, winning four of their last five, and plenty of punters will fancy the 5/2 on offer at Bet365 for a Sassuolo win.
We saw 11 corners when Sassuolo beat Lazio 1-0 at home earlier in the season, with eight of them going to Sarri's side.
That makes over 9.5 corners a decent option tonight at 11/10 with Bet365 while over 5.5 Lazio flag kicks is priced at 6/5.
