First goalscorer predictions

Aston Villa have sparked their season into life with back-to-back wins and will be looking to build more momentum away to Feyenoord in the Europa League tonight.

Unai Emery's struggling side got their first victory of the season on matchday one as they edged out Bologna at Villa Park then followed it up by beating Fulham 3-1 at the weekend.

But they're still struggling for rhythm a little and it won't be easy making it three in a row against Feyenoord at a bouncing De Kuip stadium.

Feyenoord vs Aston Villa top betting tips

Feyenoord have been flying domestically under rookie boss Robin van Persie, with five wins and a draw so far, but they've suffered disappointing defeats to Fenerbahce and Braga in Europe.

The Dutch side have won all four of their games at home though so they could be worth a punt at 19/10 against a Villa team that still looks a little vulnerable.

There's not much between these teams and it should be a close game so the half-time draw stands a good chance at 11/10

Celtic vs Braga

The fans are usually a 12th man for Celtic on European nights in Glasgow but the atmosphere will be eerie when Braga come calling in the Europa League.

Fans are staging another silent protest against the board and there will be lots of empty seats for this tea-time kick-off with punters frustrated at missing out on the Champions League.

Braga will be looking to take advantage and build on their opening win over Feyenoord but they're not in great form themselves.

A run of five domestic games without a win has seen fans call for boss Carlos Vincens to be axed so this is a tricky one to call with both teams in turmoil a little.

The goals have dried up a bit for Celtic this season but the corners certainly haven't and they've won 10 or more in four of their five home games.

That makes over 10.5 corners a great option tonight at 21/20 with BoyleSports but I'm more drawn to the 2/1 on offer for Celtic to win over 2.5 corners in each half.

Sturm Graz vs Rangers

Russell Martin remains under massive pressure at Rangers and badly needs a win at Sturm Graz tonight to silence the fans who are screaming for his head.

The Englishman finally steered Gers to a league win at the sixth attempt on Sunday but needed a stoppage-time strike from Max Aarons to defeat Livingston 2-1.

Rangers lost 1-0 at home to Genk in their Europa League opener and now face a Sturm Graz side who have blown hot and cold this season.

The Austrians lost 2-0 to Midtjylland a fortnight ago and were also thrashed 5-0 away from home by Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League qualifiers.

That suggests Rangers have a chance but they continue to look ragged under Martin and over 1.5 Graz goals stands a chance at 20/21 with BoyleSports.

Performances have picked up a bit for Rangers since Nico Raskin came in from the cold. The influential Belgian midfielder is 9/4 for an effort on target tonight.
