The Coppa Italia semi-finals come to a conclusion tonight and Empoli need a miracle if they're to turn around their tie with Bologna.
The Serie A strugglers lost 3-0 at home in the first leg and both teams might write off tonight's game as a dead rubber ahead of important league matches.
Bologna are trying to hold off Juventus for a Champions League slot while Empoli are fighting for their lives in the relegation scrap so I wouldn't be surprised if we saw lots of changes.
Bologna vs Empoli top betting tips
Bologna have won seven of their last nine and head into this game on a high after beating league leaders Inter on Sunday,
With that kind of momentum behind them, it's no surprise to see Vincenzo Italiano's men as 4/9 favourites with BoyleSports tonight.
This game could easily turn into a non-event so I like the 20/21 on offer at the same firm for a Bologna win with under 3.5 goals,
Neither team will want to pick up cards so it could pay to bet on a quiet night for the officials. Under 3.5 cards looks good at 10/11 with Bet365 while betting against both sides picking up a card pays 2/1 with the same firm.
Atletico Madrid v Rayo Vallecano top betting tips
A promising season has turned into disappointment for Atletico Madrid and they head into tonight's clash with Rayo Vallecano trailing La Liga leaders Barcelona by 13 points.
Diego Simeone's men were chasing domestic and European glory just a few months ago but crashing out of the Champions League on penalties to city rivals Real Madrid has sent their form into a nosedive.
They've won just two of their six games since then and Atletico are now looking over their shoulder, with fourth-placed Atheltic Bilbao just three points behind them.
Atletico need to spark back to life and they should see off a Rayo Vallecano side who are in even worse form, with just one victory in their last nine.
BoyleSports make Atletico 1/2 hot favourites but backing them to be winning at half-time and full-time boosts the odds to 11/8.
Simeone's side scored four times in their last home game, with Julian Alvarez netting a double. The Argentine is 5/4 for anytime scorer tonight and that looks decent value against a defence in low spirits.
Stevenage v Birmingham City
Birmingham City's form has dipped a bit since sealing the League One title but they will want to smash through the 100-point barrier by beating Stevenage tonight.
The Blues followed up the disappointment of losing the EFL Trophy Final to Peterborough by drawing a blank at home to Crawley in a dreary league stalemate.
But they got back to winning ways away to Burton Albion on Monday and BoyleSports make them 5/6 favourites for another road trip tonight.
Stevenage have little to play for as they sit in mid-table and their form is poor, with just two wins in their last nine. So I fancy a Birmingham victory with over 1.5 goals tonight, which pays 7/5 at BoyleSports.
These sides have already faced off twice this season and both those games saw 12 corners or more. That makes over 10.5 flag kicks worth considering tonight at 8/5 with BoyleSports.
