Hibernian will be out to avoid heaping more embarrassment on Scottish football when they bid to overturn a 2-0 deficit against Malisheva in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers tonight.
David Gray's men were humbled in Kosovo a week ago and now have a mountain to climb back at Easter Road as they bid to dodge an early exit in Europe.
And after watching city rivals Hearts crash in the capital against Sturm Graz on Tuesday night, the Hibees need to give the Scottish game a boost by turning the tie around.
Hibernian vs Malisheva
The scoreline from the first leg was a little deceiving as Hibernian conceded early, dominated most of the match and were hit with a sucker punch right at the death.
That game was also on a terrible pitch so the bookies fancy Gray's side to put things right back home soil, pricing them at just 8/11 to qualify.
A win on the night is much shorter at 1/7 but adding on over 3.5 goals will boost your odds to a decent 7/5. Backing over 3.5 strikes on its own pays 11/10 at Bet365 and that appeals too.
With Hibernian piling on the pressure and Malisheva likely to defend deep, there's a decent chance of a penalty being awarded. Backing the ref to point the spot pays 6/5 with SkyBet.
HB Torshavn vs Motherwell
Motherwell find themselves in a far more comfortable position than Hibs in Conference League qualifying after beating HB Torshavn 2-0 at Fir Park in the first leg.
They now head to the Faroe Islands looking to avoid a costly slip and Bet365 make the Steelmen red-hot 1/2 favourites for another win.
Motherwell lost manager Jens Berthel Askou in the summer and are also without a number of key players due to transfers and injuries.
New gaffer Alfred Johansson seems to be cut from the same cloth and will be happy with the result from the first leg.
But there were a few nervy moments and HB Torshavn were unlucky not to score. The Faroese side should get more chances back at home so BTTS looks decent value at evens with Bet365. Adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 7/5.
Benfica vs St Galen
There some big games in Europa League qualifying tonight and Benfica will be out to avoid a shock early exit at the hands of St Galen.
Marco Silva's first game in charge didn't go to plan last week as the Eagles slumped to a 2-1 defeat in Switzerland.
However, the bookies think the Portuguese giants will repair the damage back at home, with Benfica just 2/11 at Bet365 to go through.
A win on the night is a tiny 1/19, with St Galen 16/1 rank outsiders to repeat their first-leg heroics.
The Swiss side are no mugs, as they showed in the first leg, so the 5/6 on offer at Bet365 for St Galen +3 in the handicap might be worth a punt.
That's still not a great price though so corners might offer a bit more value. I'd imagine St Galen will sit back to defend their lead so I fancy Benfica -6 in the corner handicap, which pays evens.
