The League of Ireland is hurtling towards a thrilling conclusion and champions Shamrock Rovers have the chance to go top again when they host Drogheda United tonight.
Shamrock head into the game sitting below St Patrick's Athletic and Bohemians on goal difference but this is their game in hand.
And they're up against a Drogheda United side equally desperate for the points as they bid to get out of the relegation play-off slot.
Shamrock Rovers vs Drogheda United
Shamrock Rovers hit a slump in form while they juggled European qualifiers with domestic duty, going seven games without a win as morale took a hit.
But they're now free to concentrate fully on their title defence and they got back on track with a 3-2 victory over Waterford in their last outing.
Drogheda boosted their survival hopes with back-to-back wins over Sligo and Shelbourne but lost their last outing 2-1 to title-chasing Bohemians.
Bet365 make the strugglers 6/1 outsiders tonight, with Shamrock Rovers 2/5 favourites, but those odds seem a bit off for me on recent form.
So I'm going for goals instead, with BTTS and over 2.5 goals landing in three of the last four for Drogheda and two of the last four for their hosts.
Combining those bets tonight pays 7/5 with Bet365 while BTTS on its own also looks good at 19/20.
KuPS vs Oulu
It's also tight at the top in Finland, where champions KuPS face a scrap with three other teams to hold on to their crown.
Inter Turku went top last night after a 0-0 draw at Gnistan but they're just a point ahead and KuPS have a game in hand.
This looks like the easiest game of the run-in for the champions, with Oulu sitting bottom of the six-team table in the Championship round.
A European place looks out of their reach so there's not much at stake for Oulu tonight and Bet365 make them 4/1 outsiders.
The home win pays just 4/7 but you can boost the odds to a decent 6/4 by backing KuPS to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Both teams have a win apiece from the head-to-head this season but KuPS have won seven in a row at home to Oulu.
It ended 3-2 in the last meeting at this stadium so a KuPS win with over 2.5 goals should also stand a chance at 6/4.
HJK Helsinki vs VPS
HJK Helsinki sit third in the Finnish table but are also in the title hunt as they sit just six points behind KuPS heading into tonight's clash with VPS.
Successive draws against the champions and Gnistan have seen the team from the capital lose a bit of ground so they desperately need to get three points on the board tonight.
Fifth-placed VPS still have an outside chance of sealing a European slot but their form is poor, with three defeats in their last four.
That's why HJK Helsinki are just 3/5 for the win tonight but you can boost their odds to 11/10 by adding on under 4.5 goals.
That looks a good option as thrills have been thin on the ground with VPS of late, whose last five games have produced just six goals in total.
That makes under 2.5 goals another good option at 23/20 with Bet365, given that bet has come up in the last five for VPS.
