Aston Villa remain favourites for Europa League glory but Unai Emery's out-of-sorts side face a tough last-16 tie away to Lille tonight.
Bet365 price Villa at just 3/1 to lift the trophy but they're on a poor run of form, winning just one of their last seven matches.
Lille, on the other hand, are unbeaten in four and will fancy their chances of piling on the misery for the Premier League club.
Lille vs Aston Villa top betting tips
Emery's side crashed 4-1 at home to Chelsea in their last outing so the Villa boss will demand a response in France tonight.
Goalscoring has been a problem for Aston Villa of late and it has been a similar story for the Ligue 1 outfit.
So betting on a tight first leg tonight could be the best move, although under 2.5 goals only pays 4/5 at Bet365. The odds are a bit better if you bet against BTTS at evens.
Amadou Onana will be a key man for Villa in the midfield and the big Belgian is evens with Bet365 for over 1.5 fouls.
Nottingham Forest vs Midtjylland
Nottingham Forest have a Europa League rematch with Midtjylland tonight as they look to avenge their City Ground defeat by the Danes during the league phase.
That 3-2 loss set the tone for Ange Postecoglou's ill-fated reign and Forest are now on to their fourth manager this season.
Vitor Pereira started with a thrilling 3-0 win over Fenerbahce but his side have gone four games without a win since then.
Forest did claim an excellent 2-2 draw at the Etihad in their last outing though so that's why Bet365 make them 11/20 hot favourites tonight.
Igor Jesus has been a talisman in Europe for Forest and has netted seven times, making him joint top scorer in the Europa League.
The Brazilian should lead the line again tonight and he's 11/10 to add to that tally with Bet365. They also offer the same odds on midfielder Elliot Anderson having a shot on target.
Crystal Palace vs AEK Larnaca
Crystal Palace find themselves in the same situation as Forest as they look to get revenge for a Conference League loss at home to AEK Larnaca.
The Cypriots claimed a 1-0 victory at Selhurst Park in October but aren't in great form now, winning just one of their last four in all competitions.
The Eagles, on the other hand, seem to be back on the up and have won three of their last four. So it's easy to see why they are 2/9 hot favourites for the first leg of this last-16 tie.
The arrival of Jorgen Strand Larsen has given Palace a focal point again in attack and the Norwegian has settled in quickly.
The towering striker is just 5/6 for anytime scorer at Bet365 but backing him to score a header boosts the odds to 6/1.
Oliver Glasner's side won 8-2 on the corner count when Larnaca last came calling so backing Crystal Palace at -3 in the corner handicap also appeals at 11/10.
