First goalscorer predictions

Hibs upset the odds in Denmark last week to claim a surprise draw with Midtjylland and now have home advantage as they bid to finish the job in Europa League qualifying tonight.

David Gray's side finished last season in style as they went on an impressive run of results that saw them comfortably finish as best of the rest behind Celtic and Rangers in the SPFL Premiership.

The momentum carried on into Europe as they took the lead away to Midtjylland then survived a second-half onslaught to claim a 1-1 draw. Easter Road will be rocking tonight as the Hibees bid to claim a memorable win but the Danes are still a dangerous side and have the firepower to break Hibs hearts.

Hibernian vs Midtjylland top betting tips

Midtjylland roared back to top form at the weekend as they crushed Sondersjyke 6-2 so they will head to Scotland with their tails up.

BoyleSports fancy the Danes to go through as they make them 4/5 favourites tonight, with Hibs 12/5 outsiders and the draw paying 11/4.

Nobody does glorious failure better than Scottish clubs in Europe and a promising first-leg result is often followed by heartache in the return.

So Midtjylland are probably justified favourites and you can boost their odds to 6/5 by adding on over 1.5 goals.

Thomas Thomasberg's side did concede twice again at the weekend, though, making it six goals shipped in their three games this season. We should see action at both ends and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays evens at BoyleSports.

UNA Strassen vs Dundee United

Dundee United have a tricky game to negotiate in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers tonight as they defend a 1-0 lead in Luxembourg against UNA Strassen.

I fancied United to win comfortably in the first leg as UNA Strassen had lost 5-0 on aggregate to Finnish side KuPS in last year's qualifiers.

But Jim Goodwin's new-look side struggled to break down their well-organised opponents and a single Zac Sapsford strike was all they could muster for their efforts.

That makes tonight's return a potential banana skin but BoyleSports still make Dundee United 4/5 favourites, with Strassen at 5/2 and the draw paying 11/4.

The home side don't need to chase the game as they're just one goal behind so it should be another cagey game.

Betting against under 2.5 goals looks good at 11/10 with BoyleSports, who are also offering a decent 6/5 if you bet against BTTS.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Besiktas

There's a clash of the titans in Europa League qualifying and Shakhtar Donetsk are in the box seat after claiming a 4-2 win over Besiktas in Turkey last week,

I fancied Besiktas to win that first leg with home advantage but the Ukrainians bust my coupon by blasting holes in Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's defence.

All hope is not yet lost for the Turkish side as tonight's ‘home' leg for Shakhtar will be played in neutral Poland due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Besiktas need to go for it so this should be another entertaining game, although it will be interesting to see if Shakhtar opt to sit back and defend their lead.

BoyleSports are offering 6/5 on Besiktas -0.5 in the corner handicap and that could be worth a punt as they need to force the issue.

If Shahktar do try to defend their lead, it could also pay to back most goals to come after the break and that pays 10/11.
