Aston Villa will be hoping the Europa League can given them an escape from their Premier League woes, starting with the visit of Bologna tonight.
Unai Emery's men are still searching for their first domestic win after letting me down by drawing against 10-man Sunderland on Sunday.
They desperately need a result to kickstart their season but it won't be easy when Serie A side Bologna come to Villa Park tonight.
Aston Villa vs Bologna top betting tips
These sides faced off in the Champions League last season at Villa Park and it was Emery's side who came out on top with a 2-0 win.
Bologna have won two of their four Serie A games this term but both away matches have ended in 1-0 defeats.
With Villa struggling for goals this term, betting against BTTS looks a good option tonight and it pays 20/23 with BoyleSports.
Bologna picked up four yellow cards on their visit to Villa Park last term so I like the 13/10 on offer at BoyleSports for them to have over 2.5 cards tonight.
Backing the Italians for most cards also looks decent value at 20/21 with the same firm.
Rangers vs Genk
Russell Martin lives to fight another day at Rangers and will be hoping a Europa League win over Genk wins over more of the doubters.
Furious fans called for Martin to be sacked before Saturday's League Cup tie with Hibs but a 2-0 win gave the manager some breathing space.
They now return to the European arena with a tricky game against Genk.
Rangers' last outing against Belgian opposition was a disaster as Club Brugge beat them 9-1 on aggregate in the Champions League play-offs.
Genk aren't in the same class as Brugge but still have some talented forwards so they could offer some value at 8/5 with BoyleSports.
Rangers have won eight or more corners in their last four at Ibrox and we saw 18 flag kicks in total when they hosted Brugge.
That makes over 10.5 match corners worth a look in this one at 6/5 with BoyleSports.
Red Bull Salzburg vs Porto
The pick of the other Europa League games tonight sees Red Bull Salzburg host Porto.
This looks more like a Champions League fixture on paper and Porto will fancy their chances of getting off to a flier in Austria.
The Dragons have made an impressive start to the domestic season, winning six in a row, while Salzburg have gone three games without a win in Austria.
That makes the Porto win appealing at evens with BoyleSports and you can boost the odds to 11/8 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
Salzburg still have plenty of firepower though and they've scored in 11 of their 13 games this term. That makes BTTS likely tonight and combining that with over 2.5 goals also pays evens at BoyleSports.
