After the drama of the World Cup semi-finals it's back to club football for a few days and the Europa League qualifiers take top billing tonight.

The pick of tonight's ties sees Derry City host CSKA Sofia, with the Irish side looking to take the scalp of a former European powerhouse.

The Bulgarians won 3-2 in last week's first leg but City now have home advantage and will be looking to pull off one of the greatest results in their history.

Derry City vs CSKA Sofia

Derry's biggest advantage is that they're already deep into their domestic season while the first leg was CSKA Sofia's first outing in the new campaign.

That showed as the Irish side took advantage of some slack defending to score twice and they will be hoping another week of training hasn't sharpened the Bulgarians up.

Bet365 don't fancy Derry's chances, making them 4/1 outsiders to go through and 23/10 for a win on the night.

Logic suggests CSKA should be too strong for them and backing the Bulgarians for a win on the night pays a decent 19/20.

Based on the first leg, we should see a few goals and Ioannis Pittas looks good at 11/10 for anytime scorer after a double for CSKA last week.

Universitatea Cluj vs Dynamo Kiev

Dynamo Kiev are another former European heavyweight slumming it in the early rounds of Europa League qualifying and they have a bit of work to do tonight against Unversitatea Cluj.

The first leg, played in neutral Poland, ended in a 0-0 draw so the tie is perfectly balanced heading into tonight's Romanian return.

Dynamo had a disastrous campaign last term, finishing just fourth in Ukraine's top flight as they surrendered their crown to Shakhtar Donetsk.

There was a hangover from that in the first leg but Bet365 still make them 1/4 favourites to progress and just 8/15 for a win on the night.

Cluj can't play this game in their own stadium due to a music festival so that may be factored into their price of 11/4 to qualify.

But the Romanians are no mugs and might be worth a punt in the double chance at 23/20 based on last week's stalemate.

It could be another cagey game and under 2.5 goals pays 17/20 with Bet365.

Ferencvaros vs Vojvodina

Ferencvaros have one foot in the next round of the Europa League qualifiers and will be out to finish the job at home to Vojvodina tonight.

I backed the Hungarians to win last week's first leg in Serbia and they didn't let me down, albeit the winner came just four minutes from time.

That 2-1 triumph has made them 1/16 jollies with Bet365 to progress and a win on the night is also short at just 4/9.

Ferencvaros reached the last 16 in this tournament last term and won 2-0 in each of their last two home games against Ludogorets and Braga.

So another win to nil tonight could pay off and it pays a decent 7/4 with Bet365.

Super singles

  • Ioannis Pittas to score 11/10 Bet365
  • Universitatae Cluj double chance 23/20 Bet365
  • Ferencvaros win to nil 7/4 Bet365
