First goalscorer predictions

Crystal Palace start their European adventure tonight and should stroll it against Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the Conference League play-offs.

The Eagles should have been playing Europa League football after winning the FA Cup but dropped down to the third-tier competition due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules.

That should give them a better chance of enjoying success in their first foray into Europe since taking part in the Intertoto Cup back in 1998. And it would be a major surprise if they fell at the first hurdle against Fredrikstad.

Crystal Palace vs Fredrikstad top betting tips

Fredrikstad have also dropped down from the Europa League after being thrashed 5-1 on aggregate by Danish side Midjytlland in their last qualifier.

That continued a horror slump in form that has seen them win just two of their last 13 games in all competitions. They sit eighth in Norway's top flight so it's no surprise to see them as 40/1 outsiders for a win at Selhurst Park.

With Palace a tiny 1/11 at BoyleSports it's tricky finding value but combining the home win with over 3.5 goals takes you to evens at BoyleSports.

The player markets offer better prices and I like the 7/4 on offer at Unibet for Palace winger Ismaila Sarr to score, provided boss Oliver Glasner doesn't rest him.

The Norwegians will probably park the bus so I also fancy over 6.5 Palace corners at 11/10 with Bet365.

Aberdeen vs FCSB

Pittodrie will be packed to the rafters tonight as Aberdeen look to take a big step towards the Europa League group phase by beating FCSB.

The Dons have made a poor start to the SPFL Premiership, losing to Hearts and Celtic, but boosted confidence by easing past Morton in the League Cup on Saturday.

They now face an FCSB side who reached the last 16 of the Europa League last term, with the Romanians beating the likes of PAOK, Midtjylland and Qarabag before being knocked out by Lyon.

Some players for the Romanian giants, formerly known as Steaua Bucharest, have been bragging in the media about how they're going to sweep Aberdeen aside.

But FCSB's form this season has been terrible, winning just four of their 12 games in all competitions, so that's why BoyleSports make the Dons slight 13/10 favourites.

BTTS and over 2.5 goals came up in both legs of FCSB's clash with Drita in the last round so combining those bets could pay off tonight at 13/10.

It should be a close game and I fancy the half-time draw, which pays 21/20 at BoyleSports.

Hibernian vs Legia Warsaw

Hibs have never played group stage football in Europe before but only Legia Warsaw now stand in their way in the UEFA Conference League.

Fans at Easter Road were made to sweat in their last qualifier as David Gray's side surrendered a 2-0 first-leg lead when Partizan Belgrade came calling.

Despite being down to 10 men, the Serbs scored in injury-time to level things up at 3-3 on aggregate before Hibs eventually finished the job in extra time.

The SPFL Premiership side now face a Legia side who have dropped down from the Europa League after losing 5-3 on aggregate to Cypriot side Larnaca.

The Poles also conceded in both legs when they saw off Czech side Banik Ostrava so going for goals could be the smart move tonight. Combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals in this one pays 23/20 at BoyleSports.

Kieron Bowie has been in superb form for Hibs this season and his long-range strike against Partizan is unlikely to be bettered in Scotland this season. He's 13/4 at Unibet for another goal tonight and that looks overpriced.
