Thursday’s football tips: Try a 132/100 striker shots double as Tottenham battle Crystal Palace

The midweek Premier League fixtures come to a climax tonight as struggling Tottenham Hotspur host Crystal Palace in an intriguing London derby.

While the threat of the drop was never really that big last season for Spurs, it's a different story in this campaign with the team sinking like a stone.

Igor Tudor's arrival hasn't led to an improvement, losing both his games so far, but a win tonight would lift Tottenham above Leeds and leave them just three points behind Palace.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace top betting tips

Spurs have lost their last four Premier League fixtures and this is the kind of game they need to win if they're to avoid the dreaded drop.

The good news for Tudor is that Crystal Palace's form is also awful, with just two wins in their last 13 Premier League games, although they have looked better after some much-needed reinforcements in January.

Goals haven't been a problem for the Eagles of late, scoring in their last 10, so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals should stand a chance tonight at 23/20 with William Hill.

Dominic Solanke and Jorge Strand Larsen look set to lead the line for their respective sides and a double on each having a shot on target pays 132/100 at BetMGM.

Lyon vs Lens

Lens have been the surprise package in France this season and a win in Lyon tonight in the French Cup quarter-finals would keep their hopes of a stunning double alive.

Nobody expected Pierre Sage's side to battle PSG for the Ligue 1 title yet they are just four points behind the European champions after 24 games.

But their form has dipped of late, with a defeat to Monaco and draw with Strasbourg in their last two games, and this is a tough cup tie away from home.

Lyon sit third in the table and have been on a great run, winning 15 of their last 18 games. Like Lens, they have also slipped up in the last two matches, losing to Strasbourg and Marseille, so both teams will be looking to bounce back with a win.

I've a feeling home advantage will give Lyon the edge and they're 6/4 with Bet365 for a win inside 90 minutes.

We saw 20 corners when Lyon claimed a 1-0 win away to Lens in the league back in August. That makes over 9.5 corners worth a look tonight at 21/20 with 888Sport.

Radomiak Radon vs Arka Gdynia

It's slim pickings elsewhere tonight in Europe but there's a game in Poland's top flight as Radomiak Radon host Arka Gdynia.

Both sides are hovering just above the drop zone so they'll be desperate to get three points on the board.

Radomiak Radon have been draw specialists of late, with four of their last five matches ending level.

Arka Gdynia have also drawn two of their last four so the stalemate looks like a good option tonight at 13/5 with Bet365.

If you want to play it a bit safer, backing the scores to be level at half-time pays 5/4 with BetMGM.
