Heart of Midlothian were pummelled at Parkhead on Sunday and could take another heavy beating tonight away to Trabzonspor in the UEFA Conference League.
Wouter Vrancken's attacking approach backfired spectacularly as Celtic routed the Jambos 7-1 in the SPFL Premiership.
Hearts have also lost heavily to Benfica and Sturm Graz away from home in Europe this season so it might get messy for them in Turkey.
Trabzonspor vs Heart of Midlothian top betting tips
New Trabzonspor boss Thomas Reis has made an impressive start to his reign, reeling off four successive wins in all competitions.
The German reckons they've yet to click into top gear so that's worrying news for a Hearts side that looks so fragile in defence.
Vrancken's men lost 6-1 to Benfica in Lisbon and 4-0 in Graz so I fancy the Turks to grab plenty of goals if they're in the mood.
Bet365 price a Trabzonspor win at just 4/7 but backing them to win both halves offers more value at 13/8.
Mo Salah was the marquee signing for the Turks and the former Liverpool star has already netted eight times for them.
The Egyptian winger is just 8/11 to add that tally tonight so I'm backing him for an assist instead at 13/8.
Bournemouth vs AC Milan
Bournemouth have made a flying start in the Europa League but face their stiffest test yet tonight as seven-time kings of Europe AC Milan come calling.
The Cherries are competing in continental football for the first time but they're not playing like rookies, having chalked up victories over Real Sociedad and Sturm Graz.
Milan are a step up in class but they're not the force they once were and lost 2-0 at home to Benfica in their Europa League opener.
But that's the only defeat Ruben Amorim's men have suffered in nine games this season and they routed RB Salzburg 4-0 away from home in their last European outing.
Amorim knows the English game from his spell at Manchester United so Milan look a bit overpriced at 27/10 with Bet365. I'm going to back the Italian giants to win either half at 6/5.
We should see goals at both ends in this one and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays a decent evens.
Besiktas vs Crystal Palace
New Crystal Palace boss Pierre Sage already finds himself under pressure and Besiktas will be looking to turn up the heat on the Frenchman tonight in the Europa League.
A thumping 5-0 loss to rivals Brighton last weekend saw Sage come in for heavy criticism, with his side now sitting just two points above the Premier League drop zone.
Crystal Palace also lost 3-2 to Lyon in their last European match so Sage will be desperate to avoid a third defeat on the spin.
Istanbul is always a tough place to come but Besiktas aren't in great form themselves, having lost two of their last four.
They've been shipping goals so this one could go either way and I'm wary of backing a winner.
Over 1.5 first-half goals came up when Besiktas hosted Marseille in their Europa League opener and the same bet tonight pays 6/5 at Bet365.

Both 14:00 games BTTS & Over 2.5 goals at 3.4/1 (Bet365)
Mainly for a bit of interest while at work but a quick look at the stats and form suggests that all four teams are capable of finding the net despite the massive prices differences in the 1X2 markets.

Kieran Tierney bet builder for me
Tierney to have 1 + shot on target . 2 + shots . to get fouled at least twice . 15/1 Bet65 boosted .
Also on a Mika Baur assist @ 11/2 Bet365
He has been taking the corners recently so it might be in wit a shout .
