Sean Dyche has made a decent start as Nottingham Forest boss and has the chance to build more momentum tonight in the Europa League against Sturm Graz.
A rousing win over Porto was followed by a loss to Bournemouth but they bounced back with a battling 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Saturday.
Dyche now takes his team to Austria and a victory against Sturm Graz would leave Forest in decent shape to reach the knockout stages.
Sturm Graz vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
This is Graz’s third tie in a row against British opposition and they’ve had a mixed time of it, with a home win over Rangers followed by a defeat to Celtic in Glasgow.
A Hoops side at a low ebb carved out heaps of chances against them so I fancy Forest to win tonight, although the odds aren’t great at just 8/13. Adding on over 1.5 goals boosts that price to a more appealing 20/23.
Sturm Graz have some dangerous players though and Forest will need to keep an eye on Tomi Horvat.
The midfielder scored against both Celtic and Rangers and likes a crack from distance. He’s 7/4 at Bet365 just to have an effort on target tonight and that looks overpriced based on his European displays so far.
Rangers v Roma
It has been a mixed bag so far for Danny Rohl at Rangers, with two wins and two defeats in his four games at the helm.
A 3-0 debut battering by Brann highlighted the size of the challenge the German faces at Ibrox after inheriting a mess from Russell Martin.
That was Rangers’ third successive Europa League defeat and they now need a win at home to Roma to stand any chance of reaching the knockout stages.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side could be missing some key players with injury but they’ll also be desperate for a win after losing two of their three games in Europe.
BOYLE Sports make Roma 3/4 hot favourites and that seems fair enough based on Gers’ performances this season.
With both sides needing a win it bodes well for a decent spectacle and over 2.5 goals pays 5/6. Adding on BTTS boosts the odds to 13/10 at BOYLE Sports.
With Paulo Dybala and Evan Ferguson set to miss out with injury, giant Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk could start in attack for Roma. He’s just 21/20 at Bet365 to score but backing him to net with a header boosts the odds to 11/2.
Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv
Aston Villa’s Europa League clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv has been making headlines for weeks in a highly charged political atmosphere.
But the action on the pitch should be less explosive, with Unai Emery’s men heavy favourites to see off the Israeli side.
Maccabi have shipped three goals to both Dinamo Zagreb and Midtjylland in their last two European outings so Villa should beat them comfortably if they’re on top form.
BOYLE Sports make the Premier League side 2/9 hot favourites but backing over 2.5 Villa goals offers more value at 20/23.
Emery could use this game to rest a few players, with Villa in decent shape after winning two of their Europa League games so far.
If Donyell Malen gets the nod to start in attack, the Dutchman looks good value at 8/5 with Bet365 for anytime scorer.
