Brighton and Hove Albion fired blanks in their Conference League opener but should find their shooting boots back at home for the second leg of their play-off clash with Tromso tonight.

Last week's game in Norway was a damp squib as the sides battled out a 0-0 draw but the Seagulls followed it up by routing Aston Villa 4-0 in their Premier League opener.

That has boosted confidence ahead of the European return and it would be a big surprise if Brighton slipped up in tonight's second leg.

Brighton and Hove Albion vs Tromso top betting tips

After such an impressive display at the weekend, it's not a big surprise to see Fabian Hurzeler's side as short as 1/7 for a win inside 90 minutes tonight.

But Tromso did rout Romanian club Cluj 5-0 away from home on their last European away day so the Seagulls can't afford to be complacent.

Tromso will probably sit back in an attempt to frustrate the Premier League side again so I'm going to combine a Brighton win with under 3.5 goals at 7/5 with Bet365.

Georginio Rutter impressed up front against Villa and chipped in with an assist but failed to get on the scoresheet. He's 21/20 for a goal tonight and that looks decent value if he starts.

Jablonec vs Rangers

Rangers have spent heavily on another squad revamp this summer so they can ill afford to slump to defeat in tonight's Conference League play-off with Jablonec.

Derek McInnes' side take just a 1-0 lead to the Czech Republic after a poor display at Ibrox but at least they have their noses in front after finishing that game with 10 men.

Cammy Devlin saw red for a terrible challenge with 15 minutes to go and four yellows were also flashed in a game that wasn't easy on the eye.

The return could be fiesty as well and over 4.5 cards pays 11/10 with McBookie, who are the only firm I can see offering a card market.

This could be a tense 90 minutes for McInnes and his players and the half-time draw is another good option. That pays 6/5 with Bet365.

Hibernian vs Gent

Easter Road will be rocking tonight as Hibernian look to see off Gent and secure European group stage football for the first time.

David Gray's men are in a good position after drawing 0-0 in Belgium last week but they'll be hoping Owen Elding's missed penalty in the first leg doesn't come back to haunt them.

Gent were poor in that game but they're undefeated in seven games this term and have only conceded two goals.

That's why Bet365 price them at just 4/5 to qualify, with Hibs the outsiders at 19/20 in the same market.

Scottish teams have a terrible record in these ties and no team outwith the Old Firm had ever got through a play-off over two legs until Hearts prevailed in Vienna on Wednesday night.

So I'm going to take a punt on Gent winning inside 90 minutes, which pays a decent 31/20 at Bet365.

    Just a little pointer to anyone who may find it useful found it while just scanning the app as I’ve not used them before , Bwin as a tool that let’s you put a maximum amount that you choose on a sports bet so where as most other bookies let you put a deposit limit daily or whatever this bookies let’s you set a maximum amount you can place on a sports bet , just thought it might be a useful tool for some 👍

    WINNER – ✅✅✅✅ – Chicken 🐔 Dinner – BOOOOM 🤑

    Just as I predicted….Keeping it nice and simple. Chelsea win, plenty of corners, a card in the game and lovely Mr Welbeck getting on the scoresheet 😉

    Whether it’s 1 selection, or whether it’s 5 selections…The aim of this game is to beat them bookies. As for the sinking ship ⛴️…Well, let’s see what the season brings. If it’s anything like the last 14 season, then let’s revisit the ROI at the end of the season shall we.

    I will leave it at that. Enjoy the simple winner 💰
