The Europa Conference League could provide some entertainment this season. UEFA's newest competition is billed as the third tier of European competition and gives more clubs across the continent the chance to compete on the continental stage.
If you're keen to look a little more about the competition then UEFA have a handy guide on their site detailing all the ins and outs.
184 teams will be involved over the course of the season including at least one from each of the 55 associations and two of Scotland's representatives take to the stage tonight.
The final on May 25th 2022 in Tirana, Albania feels like a long way away but everbody's got to start somewhere right?
For Aberdeen it's a home tie against Swedish outfit BK Hacken who are well in to their domestic season and could prove to be dangerous opponents. Dons boss Stephen Glass didn't make a huge splash when he replaced Derek McInnes during the course of last season but he's been able to add to his squad in the summer, most notably with Scottish football's most decorated footballer in the modern era, Scott Brown, moving north after his Celtic departure.
Aberdeen fan Mark Walker is in the hot seat for us ahead of the big match at Pittodrie and he's wary of the recent upturn in Hacken's form, opting for a share of the spoils as his main bet at 9/4. Check out his match preview.
Hibs had an impressive season under Jack Ross, but faltered in big one-off cup matches which took a bit of the shine off their third-placed Premiership finish. The Hibees shouldn't have too much trouble against Andorran minnows Santa Colomo and it's no surprise to see them as short as 1/25.
Again, Mark Walker takes a close look at this one for us and has compsed a 4/5 BetBuilder at Bet365 which relies on Hibs putting their opponents to the sword.
Watch out for the start of the Men's Football at the Olympics in Japan in the morning. Two matches are live on the BBC Red Button and iPlayer, as well as Eurosport and Tolu has taken a closer look for us below.

Good morning all,
Just a quick thanks to ‘boabee8867’, ‘Footiefan77’ and, of course, ‘macthered’ for their replies to my query on Sunday regarding anti-post bets particularly the Scots Champ and lower leagues, my phone touchscreen went into meltdown and only got repaired yesterday, didn’t want to seem ignorant, thanks gents 👍👍👍
I fully agree with Rangers it’s strange this season no-one in the Scots Champ stands out as they have in previous seasons and Queens Park last year were obvious fav’s, they’re not leagues I profess to know about so thought I’d throw it out there to those who know more tgan I do, which is pretty much everyone.
Looking forward to another great season of footie, I’ll put up my choices for a p**s take later, good luck all . . . .
Once squads get finalised after transfers we will get a better indication on what teams will do well in the English and Scottish leagues.

Conference league qualifiers take a fair bit of digesting looking through them, almost too much choice and think there’s scope for plenty goals in a lot of the games.
Good luck all 🤞🤞

Ive watched and studied football for a long time and ive honestly.goto say tonight ive never been so absolutely lost for the vast majority of this eu-ropey conference league… Wouldnt know where to start😂
Easier to sort through the form of the Saudia Grand National than tonight’s games. I’ve had some joy just following the money, which leads me to partizan, bodo and split tonight. Also chuck in Ratawaski (or summat) at the darts
😂👍

——————————————————
Bottom v 3rd
and the bottom side portoviejo are EVENS while Guayaquil are 5-2 which is weird given this year’s head to head which were both won by Guayaquil.
Portoviejo seen over 2.5 match goals in 8 of 12 home games this season with 7 of the 12 BTTS and overs.
Portoviejo average just under 3 match goals in 12 home games this season.
—————————————————-
Guayaquil 6 BTTS and overs in last 7 games.
And BTTS and overs in 8 of 12 away games this season.
Guayaquil average 3.5 match goals in 12 away games this season.
———————————–
Head to head this season
March 2021
Portoviejo 1 Guayaquil 3
June 2021
Guayaquil 2 portoviejo 1

Prediction 1-1
2-1 or 1-2 would be better of course

I give up shi**est quality darts ive seen across the board for a big tourney and ive probably seen every major since 2006
From earlier…

3/1 winner. Take that on a night feyenoord burst my big coupon for £375. Hit post with last kick…🤦🏻♂️

BTTS 2-1 (HILLS)
Over 4.5 match goals EVENS (HILLS)
Terrible trujillanos in action again.
They are truly terrible but at 2-1 it’s always worth a LONGSHOT bet as own goals, penalties can happen especially in these poor leagues where corruption is rife.
Merida won 7-0 away recently at terrible trujillanos so over 4.5 goals at EVENS at hills should have a good shout as terrible trullijanos lost 6-0 last time out also ☹️
Prediction 6-1
