The heat is on for Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag as he takes his side to Portugal tonight for a crunch Europa League clash with Porto.
Whenever the Old Trafford has faced intense calls for his head, he has somehow managed to pull a win out of the bag but it won't be easy at the Dragao Stadium.
United could only draw at home with FC Twente in their Euro opener and followed it up with a dismal display at home to Spurs as they crashed to a 3-0 defeat and had Bruno Fernandes sent off.
Porto lost away to Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt on matchday one but they have won all four home games so far this term, including a 4-0 weekend thrashing of Alouca.
Porto vs Manchester United top betting tips
With Ten Hag's side looking so dispirited and leaking goals, backing Porto for a win could be worth a punt at 6/4 with Betano. But I'm more drawn to the 13/10 on offer on the Portuguese giants scoring over 1.5 goals.
Porto midfielder Nico Gonzalez has two goals and an assist so far this term so they could be a bit of value in backing him to either score or set one up at 5/2 with Bet365. The odds increase to a whopping 7/1 if you just go for the assist.
Manchester United lost their discipline at the weekend, with five yellows and a red, so it could pay to dabble in the card markets. Over 4.5 cards pays 19/20 at Unibet while United full-back Noussair Mazraoui is 11/4 at Bet365 to go in the book.
Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur top tips
Tottenham Hotspur were Europa League favourites before a ball was kicked was underlined why by beating Qarabag 3-0 in their opener despite having a man sent off in the opening seven minutes.
Ange Postecoglou now takes his side to Hungary to face a Ferencvaros side who lost 2-1 away to Anderlecht in their first Europa outing last week.
Spurs should win comfortably if they play like they did at Old Trafford on Sunday and combining the away win with over 3.5 goals pays 37/20 in a Betano bet builder.
Postecoglou's side always give their opponents a few sights at goal and only some dismal Qarabag finishing stopped them from conceding last week.
BTTS pays just 7/10 at Betano tonight but combining that with over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 21/20 at Bet365.
Adama Malouda Traore will offer a threat for the Hungarians and appeals at evens with Bet365 just to have an effort on target.
Rangers vs Lyon top betting tips
Rangers got off to a Europa League flier last week by beating Malmo in Sweden but now face a step up in class as Lyon come calling.
The French side beat Conference League champions Olympiacos in their opener then followed it up with a weekend win over Toulouse.
But they've been shaky on the road and might find it tough dealing with a pumped-up Ibrox crowd. Going for goals at both ends looks the move here and combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays evens at Bet365.
Cyriel Dessers should lead the line again for Rangers and the Nigerian looks a little overpriced at 2/1 with Bet365 for anytime scorer.
UEFA Conference League top betting tips
It's a big night for Larne and The New Saints as they play European group stage football for the first time.
Both face a baptism of fire though, with the Northern Irish side away to Molde and the Welsh champions taking on Fiorentina in Florence.
It's hard to hold out much hope for either and a double in the three-way handicap on Fiorentina -2 and Molde -2 pays 33/20.

Got Porto to win at 12/1 when they went 2-0 down. Just knew United would implode.
Be surprised if ETH keeps his job another week if United do lose.
They’ll wait until the international break Alex then he’l be gone
Yeah probs right Deano. Get the feeling the replacement will be equally as turd though, just a hunch ?
They can’t afford to sack him apparently, it would cost them 17 million. No Champions league next season could mean psr problems.
Bruno Fernandez ?
