MOST of the action today takes place in the early hours of the morning but there's a couple of late-night games in the Copa Libertadores for punters to sink their teeth into.
The group stage in South America's version of the Champions League is coming to a close and the two matches tonight both come in Group F.
Brazilian side Pameiras have already booked their place in the knockout stages but San Lorenzo of Argentina still aren't home and hosed yet.
They travel to Brazil tonight holding a three-point lead over Independiente del Valle and need to bank a point against Palmeiras to finish the job.
But with the Colombians at home to rock-bottom Liverpool of Uruguay, a defeat for San Lorenzo could see them pinch second spot with a win.

Palmeiras vs San Lorenzo Top Betting Tips
Palmeiras are guaranteed top spot in the section whatever happens tonight so I'd be surprised if they fielded a full-strength side for this one.
Independiente del Valle will be hoping the hostility between Brazil and Argentina ensures the home side still give it a go and Bet365 make Palmeiras 4/7 favourites for the win.
A draw suits San Lorenzo and that was the outcome when these sides faced off on Matchday One in Argentina. You can back San Lorenzo at 13/10 in the double chance and that looks worth a punt given Palmeiras have nothing to play for.
The last meeting was pretty spicy with 10 yellows flashed but I can't see a market for cards. There are prices for corners though and over nine flag kicks appeals at 11/10 given we saw 11 when these sides last faced off.
Alexis Cuello has scored twice in his last four games for San Lorenzo so looks good value at 6/5 just to have a shot on target tonight.
Independiente del Valle vs Liverpool Top Tips
Both Independiente del Valle and Liverpool still have a chance of going through heading into their clash in Colombia but the Uruguayans need to make up a three-point deficit and a seven-goal gap on San Lorenzo.
A win would guarantee Liverpool a parachute to the Copa Sudamericana at least but the bookies can't see it happening as Bet365 make them 10/1 outsiders.
Independiente del Valle are 27/100 hot favourites and that's probably because they beat San Lorenzo at home and were holding Palmeiras to a draw before the Brazilians scored a stoppage-time winner.
It ended 1-1 when these sides faced off in Uruguay and we should see goals again as both sides chase the win. BTTS looks good at 5/4 and if you combine that with over 2.5 goals it boosts the odds to 7/4.
Michael Hoyos has netted twice for Independiente del Valle in the group stage and is 11/10 to grab another goal tonight.

Sao Jose scored in 16 of last 17 home games.
Volta seen BTTS in all 5 league games and also in 9 of their last 10 matches overall.
5 of previous 6 head to heads seen BTTS, the other was a 0-2.
The 4 here were 2-2. 3-1. 0-2. 4-2
This is a shit league for goals but these 2 seem to produce goals when they meet.
Prediction 1-2

Didn’t kick off until 1-30 am !!
Finished 1-3
Both bets won 👍🇧🇷
Both Icelandic games look good for goals today , the over 2.5 double looks solid at around evens 👍👍
A few games today that look good for goals but I’ll be sticking with just a single.
Heading to Iceland where breidablik host vikingur.
O3.5mgls@10/11
This has landed in the last 5 h2hs and I’m expecting the same tomorrow.
Both teams have also seen it land in 3 of their last 5 matches.
May go with a small stake on o4.5@9/4 too which has landed in 3/5 h2hs
Good luck all
Odds now at 13/8 for o3.5
Not sure if there has been some news regarding the fixture 🤷🏻♂️
Somethings changed mate over 3.5 is now 2/1 with sky ,
Not so confident now but bets been placed so just have to cross my fingers hard

12/5
First match is Austria Regionalliga West 🇦🇹 other match is Poland junior league 🇵🇱
Both look to have a decent potential for goals.
Polish game flew in with 6 goals but let total down in Austria, plenty of shots but majority off target.
Also having a long shot in the Icelandic games ,
Valur win + 3.5 match goals ,
Breidablik win + 3.5 match goals ,
Double 21.5/1 ,
Goodluck………

Both BETWAY.
Last game in this stage and both already qualified.
Allianza top and conceded in a few games recently (last 4).
Don’t know if points are carried forward to the next phase, if they are it should be a competitive game tonight
Hey mate is there a nap for today or is this just for interest?
Not strong enough for a NAP stake.
Call it best of a bad bunch.
Looked at Liverpool scoring at Quito.
But the Ecuadorians are strong at home and need a result and should be far too good for the Uruguayan scousers , who if they score I’m sure it will be against the run of play
Most of the relegation bets with skybet are going on Man City who are now just 16/1 to go down, I backed them at 25/1 last week.
52 games since breidablik last drew 0-0.
85 games since vikingur last drew 0-0.
The last 5 h2hs all produced o3.5mgls.
Yet the odds have changed massively through the day and now in the first half there has been 6 shots. 1 on target.
Not even 1 minute for stoppages at the end of the first half.
Screaming suspicious to me
Sounds well dodgy that mate.
I think so. I found it weird that the odds on overs changed so much. But now I just think something dodgy is going on. In order to move the odds as much as they did it requires a massive amount of betting on unders but going off the history there is no reason at all to bet on that unless you know something
