Thursday’s football tips: Go for corners at 11/10 as Atalanta bid to KO Juve in the Coppa Italia

It's a busy night of continental cup action and the pick of the three ties sees Juventus head to Atalanta in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia.

Juve have found their groove again, losing just once in their last 12 games, while Atalanta have only managed one victory in their last five outings.

But Raffaelle Palladino's men crushed Genoa 4-0 in the last round of the cup and will be hoping home advantage can now help them topple the Turin giants.

Atalanta vs Juventus

Most of Atalanta's problems have come in the Champions League of late and their domestic form is actually decent, with only Serie A leaders Inter beating them since early December.

So I'm expecting this cup tie to be close and the half-time draw looks a strong option at 23/20 with BetMGM.

We saw a 1-1 draw when these sides faced off in Serie A earlier in the season and what stood out from that match was the high number of corners.

A total of 20 was racked up, with 15 of them going to Juventus, so that looks like a good market for this game.

Bet365 are offering 11/10 on over nine corners tonight and that looks excellent value based on the last meeting.

Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid

There's a quarter-final tie in the Copa Del Rey tonight as well and it's another intriguing match-up as Atletico Madrid head to Seville to take on Real Betis.

Both teams are enjoying decent seasons in La Liga, with Atletico sitting third and Betis just two places behind them.

Diego Simeone's men head into this tie on a bit of a downer though after losing to BodoGlimt in the Champions League and drawing 0-0 in La Liga against Levante.

Betis have claimed 2-1 wins over Feyenoord and Valencia in their last two outings but they're 5/2 outsiders tonight at BetMGM.

That's probably because Atletico beat them 2-0 in Seville earlier this season, with Alexander Sorloth scoring one of the goals.

The big Norwegian looks set to miss this one after going off early at the weekend and Julian Alvarez should lead the line instead.

The Argentinian is 19/10 with Coral for anytime scorer and 9/5 with Paddy Power for over 1.5 efforts on target.

Strasbourg vs Monaco

In the French Cup, we're only at the last-16 stage but there's another decent tie as Monaco visit Strasbourg.

Losing head coach Liam Rosenior to Chelsea hasn't derailed Strasbourg's season and their only loss in the last nine games has come at the hands of European champions PSG.

Monaco's form has been more flaky, winning just three of their last nine, but they were lethal at the weekend as they thrashed Rennes 4-0.

Strasbourg have been scoring freely as well so it points towards an entertaining cup tie tonight.

Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals pays 19/20 at William Hill while over 1.5 first-half goals offers a bit more value at 6/4 with SkyBet.

These sides are evenly matched so the half-time draw looks a good option again at 11/8 with 888Sport.
