The Europa League quarter-finals get underway tonight and Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou faces one of the biggest games of his reign as Eintracht Frankfurt come calling.
With Spurs having one of their worst domestic campaigns for decades, you suspect the Aussie will need to lead them to European glory to save his job.
But they only just squeezed past Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in the last round and Bundesliga outfit Eintracht will be a step up in class.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt top betting tips
Tottenham boosted their confidence with a weekend win over Southampton and the bookies reckon they will claim another win tonight, with BoyleSports making Postecoglou's side 4/6 favourites.
Spurs are the same price to qualify, with the Germans 11/10 in that market. Backing Frankfurt to go through at that price could be a smart move before the odds shorten as I just wouldn't trust this Tottenham side to deliver over two legs.
Eintracht beat Ajax 6-2 on aggregate in the last round so that suggests we'll see goals at both ends tonight. Combining BTTS with no draw pays 23/20 at BoyleSports.
Lyon vs Manchester United top betting tips
Manchester United are another Premier League giant who need Europa League glory to salvage their season and they have a tricky game tonight away to French side Lyon.
The jury remains out on Ruben Amorim but United have at least been tough to beat in the last couple of months, with only one defeat inside 90 minutes in their last nine games.
BTTS has failed to land in their last three outings so betting against it could pay off tonight at 6/5 with BoyleSports, especially as first legs are often cagey.
The biggest threat to United should come from classy winger Rayan Cherki. He was superb when Lyon battered Rangers at Ibrox and looks good 11/10 with BoyleSports just to have an effort on target.
Rangers vs Athletic Bilbao top betting tips
Rangers have upset the odds to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League and will need to do the same again if they're to see off Athletic Bilbao.
BoyleSports make the La Liga side 1/4 hot favourites to reach the semis and Athletic Club are also just 20/21 to inflict a sixth successive home defeat on Rangers tonight.
Logic suggests the Basques should have too much class for Barry Ferguson's men but Gers have made a habit of pulling big European results out of the bag when they've been written off.
We've only seen one goal across Bilbao's last three games but both teams are missing key players in defence tonight so we should see some goals. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays 23/20 at BoyleSports.
This one could be spicy and Rangers defender Dujon Sterling looks good at 9/4 for a card as he could be up against speedy Nico Williams.

Lyon v Man Utd
Man Utd to win at 6/4
Fernandes to score from outside the area at 11/1 slybet
Man Utd drew with City at the weekend and you got the feeling that was a dress rehearsal for this game, Lyon have to attack and Yernited will hope for some luck on the counter. These games now define their season they simply cannot afford to go out of this comp. I wouldn’t expect much in terms of goals either.
Prediction 0-1
Think Lyon will be up for this game after Onana saying they are not very good, did you hear Matic rebuke, so funny
Yeah seen it. When will these players learn.
Have a wee longshot for an interest tonight….

James Tavernier to be carded 5/1
Longshot . Vaclav Cerny to score a header 40/1
Skybet
Am I reading it wrong that Hills have own goals priced up at 25/1? Under the “goals” market and then drop down to “anytime own goal”?
Worth a small dabble mate .
Also first goal method at 55/1
First goal method own goal that should say
Own goal in the Rangers game 25/1 got to be worth a punt. Especially with the 2 Williams brothers attacking them down both wings
