Sunday’s Football Tips: Leeds and Southampton out to seal Premier League return in play-off final

WEMBLEY will be packed to the rafters for the second day in a row as Leeds United and Southampton face off in the Championship play-off final this afternoon.

Both sides are looking to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt and will be backed by a large and expectant crowd at the home of English football.

They booked their place at Wembley in almost identical fashion, finishing the job at home in the semi-finals with a comfortable win after drawing 0-0 on the road in the first leg.

Now they slug it out in what should be a close game and only one of them will emerge with the prize of a lucrative return to the top flight.

Leeds United vs Southampton Top Betting Tips

Both these teams like to play on the front foot and have plenty of firepower but the enormity of the occasion often turns this play-off final into a war of attrition.

Nobody wants to make a mistake when the stakes are high so the half-time draw is always a good option and that pays 11/10 with Bet365. Backing most goals to come after the break also looks good at evens.

Crysencio Summerville has been the driving force for Leeds and the Championship Player of the Year looks good value at 11/10 for a goal or assist. For a long-odds punt, he's 12/1 to score from outside the box.

Joe Aribo is a goal threat from midfield for Southampton and has pedigree in big games, having scored for Rangers in the Europa League Final. He looks overpriced at 2/1 just to have a shot on target.

Ross County vs Raith Rovers Top Tips

It's also crunch time in the play-offs up in Scotland with Ross County and Raith Rovers playing the second leg of their final in Dingwall.

The Staggies are in the driving seat after winning 2-1 away from home but Sam Stanton's late goal has given Rovers some hope as they head north.

Ian Murray's men have no option but to go for it so it bodes well for goals. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays 6/5 and that looks good.

County strikers Simon Murray and Jordan White linked up well in the first leg and should get a few sights of goal. Both look overpriced at 2/1 for anytime scorer and White is a tempting 11/2 to score with a header.

Club Brugge vs Cercle Brugge Betting Tips

Club Brugge have all but sealed the Belgian title already but will want to finish the job in style tonight with a derby win over Cercle.

Heading into the final day, Nicky Hayen's men sit three points and 12 goals ahead of Union St-Gilloise so it will take a monumental collapse for them to blow it.

The last four derbies have ended in draws and another stalemate would be enough to seal the deal. That pays 3/1 but Club Brugge are 11/20 hot favourites to sign off with a victory.

The form of Andreas Skov Olsen has been key in Club's charge to the title with the winger netting six times in their last five games. The Dane is 11/10 for another strike today.

Brondby vs AGF Aarhus Betting Tips

It's much closer at the top going into the final day in Denmark with only goal difference keeping Brondby above Midtjylland.

They're seven goals better off so a win at home to AGF Aarhus should be enough to get Brondby over the line today. But it won't be easy as AGF ended the title hopes of Copenhagen by beating the champions in midweek.

The bookies can't see them springing another shock as Brondby are massive 19/50 favourites. The leaders have won their last two games to nil but Aarhus have been scoring freely so BTTS looks decent at 10/11.

Brondy should have most of the pressure and they appeal at -2 in the corner handicap, which pays 21/20.
