First goalscorer predictions

It's the last round of fixtures in the group phase of the Europa League tonight and the three British clubs involved are all looking to seal a last-16 slot by finishing in the top eight.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur sit fourth and sixth respectively so they will be confident of getting the job done against FCSB and Elfsborg respectively.

But their opponents still have something to play for and it's far from gimme, even though the odds on offer at the bookies suggest otherwise.

Rangers sit 13th after losing at Old Trafford last time out but still have a chance of getting back into the top eight if they can defeat Union Saint-Gilloise at Ibrox.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Elfsborg top betting tips

I thought a new manager might be in the dugout for Spurs heading into this game after a weekend loss at home to Leicester City piled the pressure on Ange Postecoglou.

But results in the knockout competitions appear to be keeping the big Aussie off the canvas during a horror run that has seen Tottenham take just one point from their last seven Premier League games.

The biggest problem for Postecoglou has been a crippling injury list and he's without almost an entire team again for tonight's visit of Swedish side Elfsborg.

So I'm surprised to see Spurs as short as 2/11 against a team who need a result to stay in the play-off places, with the Swedes sitting 20th in the table on 10 points.

Tottenham have only won by more than one-goal margin once in the group stage so Elfsborg +2 in the handicaps looks worth a punt at 7/5 tonight.

Son Heung-min hit a double in Spurs' last Euro outing so he looks decent value at evens for another goal tonight.

FCSB vs Manchester United top betting tips

Manchester United head to Romania with a bit of belief after winning two games on the spin but this game is a potential banana skin, with FCSB losing just once in the group stage so far.

BoyleSports are banking on Ruben Amorim's side continuing their revival as they make United 4/7 hot favourites, while Steaua are 4/1 outsiders despite having home advantage.

The Red Devils kept a clean sheet against Fulham at the weekend and BTTS has only landed in two of FCSB's seven group games. That makes me think betting against BTTS could pay off tonight at 20/21, while under 2.5 goals also appeals at evens.

This one could get a bit feisty and I like the 23/10 available at BoyleSports for Steaua defender Risto Radunovic to pick up his fifth card of the season.

Rangers vs Union Saint-Gilloise top betting tips

Rangers are similar to Manchester United and Spurs in the sense that a desperately disappointing domestic campaign hasn't affected their results in Europe.

Philippe Clement's side have already banked a place in the Europa League play-off and a win at home to Union Saint-Gilloise tonight might be enough to book a place in the last 16.

The Belgians sit on the same points as Rangers so this should be an open game as they will also be going all out for a win.

Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals only pays 5/6 at BoyleSports but the odds are better for BTTS and no draw at 5/4.

Hamza Igamane continues to catch the eye for Rangers and the young Moroccan is a decent 11/8 for anytime scorer.
