Monday’s football tips: Zeleznicar look overpriced at 12/5 for Serbian split crunch

It's slim pickings for punters today after a blockbuster Sunday as we head into the latest international break.

Competitive top-flight football is thin on the ground so we need to scour the globe in search of some action.

There's one game in Serbia's top flight and it could go a long way to deciding who finishes in the Championship round when the league splits in two.

Zeleznicar Pancevo currently occupy the eighth and final spot with three games to go but they're only ahead of Novi Pazar on goal difference and those two sides face off this evening.

Novi Pazar vs Zeleznicar Pancevo top betting tips

Novi Pazar have won their last two at home and BoyleSports reckon they will make it hat-trick today as they make the hosts 20/23 favourites.

But their home form wasn't great before that, with three defeats in a row, including a 7-1 spanking by runaway leaders Red Star Belgrade.

Zeleznicar are in good form themselves, with the only defeat in their last nine games coming against Red Star, so they look a bit overpriced at 12/5.

They're also 4/5 in the double chance while backing them in the one goal ahead market, which pays out if they go ahead regardless of the final result, appeals more at 23/20.

Five of Zeleznicar's last nine have ended level so this should be a tight one. The half-time draw looks good at 11/10 with BoyleSports.

Borac Banja Luka vs Siroki Brijeg top betting tips

Bosnian champions Borac Banja Luka need a win at Siroki Brijeg tonight to keep their quest for another title on track.

Borac have lost just twice all season but leaders Zrinjski Mostar are now six/nine points clear after beating/losing to Sloboda yesterday.

This is one of two games in hand for the champions so they need to get three points on the board against Siroki Brijeg.

The visitors sit in sixth and have little to play for so it's easy to why BoyleSports make Borac 3/10 hot favourites.

The champions have kept clean sheets in their last four at home so there could be some value in backing a Borac win to nil at 10/11 with BoyleSports.

For better odds, backing Borac Banja Luka at -1 in the handicap takes you to 21/20.

Sunshine Stars vs Plateau United top betting tips

There's top-flight action in Nigeria this afternoon too and it's a big one at the bottom as Sunshine Stars take on Plateau United.

Stars currently sit in the relegation places but it's so tight at the wrong end of the table and a win would move them above United.

Bet365 make the home side 4/7 favourites and that's probably because their form has picked up, with just one defeat in their last five.

Plateau have lost their last two on the road but the games have been tight, losing by the odd goal both times.

With so much at stake this could be a tense 90 minutes and the half-time draw is 10/11 at Bet365. If you want to boost those odds a bit, backing the score at the break to be 0-0 pays 11/10.
