Nottingham Forest are up against it in the Europa League and need a win in Denmark tonight against Midtjylland to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
Forest lost at home to the Danes for the second time this season last week as they crashed to a 1-0 defeat at the City Ground.
They now have a mountain to climb in the second leg but Vitor Pereira's side did claim a superb 3-0 win away to Fenerbahce on their last European road trip.
Midtjylland vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
It will be interesting to see how strong a team Pereira picks tonight, with Nottingham Forest facing a relegation six-pointer against Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.
With just a one-goal deficit to overturn, I'd imagine he will still go pretty strong and I'd be wary of writing Forest off as they were the better side in the first leg.
But scoring goals has been the problem of late, with blanks in their last two games, and it has been a similar story for Midtjylland, who have netted just three times in their last four outings.
So there could be a bit of value in backing under 2.5 goals tonight at a best 42/41 with Unibet.
Nottingham Forest won 7-2 on the corner count in the first leg and need to be on the front foot tonight so it could pay to back them for most corners at 10/11 with Unibet. I also fancy over 10 match corners at 6/5 with Paddy Power.
Aston Villa vs Lille
Aston Villa are in much stronger position in their last-16 Europa League tie with Lille after grinding out a 1-0 victory in France last week.
That came as a welcome relief amid a domestic slump, with Sunday's 3-1 loss at Manchester United making it three successive Premier League defeats.
Villa remain in the top four but it looks like winning the Europa League might represent a better chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League.
So I'd imagine Unai Emery will go pretty strong with his line-up tonight and Villa's best price is just 7/10 at Betfred. You can boost their odds to evens at SkyBet by adding on under 4.5 goals and that looks good.
Lille need to attack so there could be some value in backing Emi Martinez for over 2.5 saves at 11/8 with Bet365.
AEK Larnaca vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace haven't lived up to their status as Conference League favourites and they have a bit of work to do tonight in the last 16 tonight away to AEK Larnaca.
The Cypriots claimed a shock win at Selhurst Park in the league phase and proved that was no fluke as they ground out a 0-0 draw in last week's first leg.
Oliver Glasner's men then followed that up with another dreary stalemate at home to Leeds, with Palace failing to muster a single shot on target against a side that played for 45 minutes with 10 men.
That suggests Larnaca look a bit overpriced tonight in the double chance at 29/20 with StarSports while backing them to go through pays 14/5 with the same firm.
This could be another cagey game with the tie in the balance and backing most goals to come after the break pays 6/5 with 888Sport. Under 2.5 goals also looks decent at 20/21 with BOYLE Sports.

Currently on 4 corners,2 each👍
Over 12.5 match corners@1/50 if anyone is tempted😂😂
As u say yourself Damon don’t count your chickens as u could end up with egg on your face
I know had it plenty of times with 1 corner in second half,1/50 seems a steal with only 3 corners needed but bookies rarely wrong so just hope Sparta dont give up otherwise could be curtains
Oh dear Sparta crumbled🙈
