IT'S another busy night of Europa League and Conference League qualifiers with most of the ties for British and Irish sides still in the balance.
Derry City are flying high in the League of Ireland but their Euro hopes are hanging by a thread after losing 2-0 the Magpies in Gibraltar last week,
That came off the back of a 2-1 loss to Sligo Rovers so Ruaidhrí Higgins needs a response from his players at Brandywell tonight.
But it won't be easy against a Magpies side who are out to claim an Irish scalp at the third time of asking.
The boys from the Rock have crashed out at this stage to Dundalk and Crusaders in the last two seasons, with defeats in Ireland undoing their good work at home.
So if Derry City can score early tonight then it will sow some seeds of doubts and fire this tie wide open.

Derry City v Magpies Top Betting Tips
Magpies have lost 3-1 on their last two visits to the Emerald Isle so that's why Betfred make Derry City 2/11 hot favourites for a win tonight.
But BTTS is available at 11/8 and that could be worth a punt given the minnows scored twice last week and in both of those losses on the road.
Over 3.5 goals is also tempting at 6/4 given that bet also landed in those two Euro defeats for the Magpies. It also trapped in Derry City's last home game as they thrashed Drogehda 5-1.
Stjarnan v Linfield Top Tips
Linfield find themselves in the same situation as Derry City as they bid to turn around a 2-0 deficit at home to Icelandic side Stjarnan.
With the Northern Irish side needing to attack to get back into the tie it bodes well for an open game, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals paying evens at Bet365.
Linfield probably need a first-half goal to give themselves a chance and backing them to be winning at half-time pays evens with Betfred.
Connah's Quay Nomads v Bravo Top Tips
Welsh side Connah's Quay Nomads caused a major surprise last week when they travelled to Slovenia and claimed a 1-0 win over Bravo.
Despite that huge result away from home, the bookies don't fancy them tonight with Bravo 8/15 hot favourites to turn things around.
The Slovenians should certainly be better now they have a game under the belts but the crowd at Essity Stadium will be roaring their heroes on.
Bravo will want to get back into the tie as quickly as possible so backing them to win the first half looks decent value at 21/20.

The Connahs quay game is being played at our stadium here in Bangor 60 miles from Connahs quay.
They only average about 250 fans for home games and could well be more neutrals there than quay fans.
Shame as they had a decent result at their place and be good for the welsh coefficient standings if they qualified.
I might well go myself as its only £15 to get in and the beer in the clubhouse is decent 🍺.

Side topic but last night may have brought the second coming of Champ Manager legend Freddy Adu. Cavan Sullivan made his MLS debut for Philadelphia Union at the ripe old age of 14 and in doing so he broke Adu’s record as the MLS’s youngest player….a name too watch perhaps or just another Freddy?
Another Freddie…

Looks like Ugarte has agreed terms with United now too.. but it’s strange to see Michael Edwards getting trolled so much by so-called Liverpool fans, it’s a marathon not a sprint! Roll on the start of the season
It’ll take more than a couple of players to put right what’s wrong with that club, still over paying . I guess they will come flying out the blocks lol.
