Hibs and Dundee United both claimed excellent results on the road in Europe last week and will be out to finish the job at home in the Conference League qualifiers tonight.
I thought both Scottish teams would lose in the first leg, with Hibs running a Belgrade gauntlet against Partizan and United taking on a Rapid Vienna side who reached the quarter-finals last season.
But David Gray's men claimed a 2-0 win against 10-man Partizan and Jim Goodwin's side twice came from behind to claim a 2-2 draw in Austria.
That has left them in a great position but it's still not job done as they head into the second legs.
Hibernian vs Partizan Belgrade top betting tips
After such an impressive win in the first leg, Hibs are just 1/20 with BoyleSports to qualify, although the price increases to a decent 20/21 if you back them for a win on the night.
There's no doubt Gray's side were helped last week by Vukasin Durdevic's red card 10 minutes before half-time, with Martin Boyle scoring the opener just five minutes later.
Partizan carved out plenty of chances before going a man down and have no option but to attack in Edinburgh tonight. That should lead to goals at both ends and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 10/11.
There's a bit more value in backing Partizan corners as they need to be on the front foot to stand any chance of going through. Over 4.5 corners for the Serbs pays evens at BoyleSports.
Dundee United vs Rapid Vienna
Tannadice will be rocking tonight as Dundee United look to claim a notable scalp by knocking Rapid Vienna out of the UEFA Conference League.
Goodwin's side upset the odds in Austria last week and deserved their 2-2 draw after an excellent performance. But they conceded a further three goals at home to Hearts on Sunday and will need to be more solid at the back to prevail tonight.
Despite being away from home, Rapid Vienna are 7/10 favourites with BoyleSports for a win inside 90 minutes tonight. I've got a feeling they will break United's hearts and adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/10.
Goodwin looks to have found a gem in Croatian winger Ivan Dolcek. He scored twice against the Jambos on Sunday and could be worth a long-odds punt for another goal tonight at 5/1 with SkyBet.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Panathinaikos
The pick of tonight's Europa League qualifiers sees Shakhtar Donetsk take on Panathinaikos, with the tie in the balance after a 0-0 draw in Athens last week.
Poor finishing cost Panathinaikos in their Champions League qualifier with Rangers and they could now be left to rue drawing a blank with home advantage last week.
This second leg is being played at a neutral venue due to the conflict in Ukraine but BoyleSports still make Shakhtar 4/6 favourites tonight.
They outclassed Beskitas in the last round so the Ukrainian giants should be too good for Panathinaikos. Combining a Shakhtar win with over 1.5 goals pays 11/10 at BoyleSports.
Young Brazilian Kaua Elias has impressed for Shakhtar this season, with four goals in six appearances, and he's a decent 2/1 with William Hill for anytime scorer.
