The Scottish Cup Final takes centre stage today and it's a David vs Goliath match-up as SPFL Premiership champions Celtic take on Championship side Dunfermline.

The Pars have claimed three Premiership scalps on the road to Hampden, including a 3-0 demolition job on holders Aberdeen.

But it would be a major surprise if they now upset a Celtic side who claimed seven league wins on the spin to pip Hearts to the Premiership crown.

Celtic vs Dunfermline Athletic top betting tips

This could be Martin O'Neill's latest farewell at Celtic, with the 74-year-old coming to the end of his second spell as interim manager this season.

He first said goodbye way back in 2005 with a Scottish Cup Final win over Dundee United, with Neil Lennon at the heart of his Hoops midfield.

Lennon is now in the Pars dugout and will probably set his Dunfermline side up to frustrate, having seen off Falkirk on penalties in the semis after a dreary 120 minutes that failed to produce a goal.

So it could pay to back most goals to come after the break this afternoon, which pays evens at Bet365.

Today's showpiece also looks like being Daizen Maeda's last game for Celtic. The Japanese striker has netted eight times in his last six games and looks overpriced for a farewell goal at 27/20 with BetMGM.

Hull City vs Middlesbrough

The EFL Championship play-offs come to a climax at Wembley today and Middlesbrough will be hoping they can be lucky losers against Hull City.

Boro lost their semi-final to Southampton, only to end up being reinstated after Saints were booted out for spying.

That has given Kim Hellberg's side a second shot at glory and they're hot favourites to come out on top at just 4/9 with Bet365, although backing them to win inside 90 minutes boosts the odds to 10/11 at StarSports.

Plenty of people are praying Hull come out on top, given the Tigers are reportedly considering legal action if they don't win promotion, and they look a bit overpriced at 7/4 to lift the play-off trophy.

These games are often a massive anti-climax, with players petrified to make mistakes, so I'm going to bet against a thriller. The half-time draw looks good at 6/5 with 888Sport while under 2.5 goals is a bit shorter at 4/5 with Betfred.

Barcelona Women vs Lyon Women

The best game to watch today if you're looking for goals is probably the Women's Champions League Final as the two deadliest sides in Europe battle it out for glory.

Barcelona have taken part in the last five finals, winning three, and will be out to make amends for last year when they lost out to Arsenal in the showpiece.

But Lyon remain the most successful club in Women's Champions League history and their eighth triumph came with a 3-1 victory over Barca in 2022.

The stage is set for a cracker in Oslo and I'm surprised to see Lyon as big as 7/1 with BetVictor after dumping holders Arsenal in the semis.

Backing goals at both ends looks the best option and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals looks decent at evens with Bet365.

Barca's Ewa Pajor is joint-top scorer in this season's Champions League with nine goals and backing her to hit double figures with a goal in the showpiece pays 21/20 at Ladbrokes.
