A tantalising Battle of Britain against Aston Villa awaits Hibs if they can safely negotiate a route past Luzern this evening.
The Hibees have produced a series of Jekyll and Hyde performances so far this season, winning two and losing three so far. Crucially though they hold a 3-1 advantage going in to tonight’s match in Switzerland.
But Lee Johnson will be concerned with his team’s inability to keep a clean sheet ahead of a game where a strong defensive performance is required.
21 goals have been scored in Hibs’ five games so far (12-9) and it’s hard to see anything other than goals at the Swissporarena.
Luzern rested a number of players for their weekend 1-1 draw with Young Boys and they’ll need to go for it tonight, needing at least two just to stay in the tie.
It’s difficult to see Hibs keeping a clean sheet, they’ve not managed one yet and lost two goals in Andorra in the previous round. Luzern to score is 1/7 but to score two or more looks very big at 9/4 in what should be an attacking display from the Swiss against a porous Hibs defence.
*UPDATE – Looks like that 9/4 might have been error. Price now 8/15!
Back home in Edinburgh, Tynecastle will be bouncing for the visit of Rosenborg where Hearts need to turn around a 2-1 deficit from the first leg.
The Jambos were too tentative in the opening stages of the match in Trondheim but a 78th minute header by Lawrence Shankland puts different complexion on the tonight’s match.
Head coach Frank McAvoy has warned that fans might need to be patient and it could be a late night for supporters if Hearts are to progress, hinting at another pragmatic approach.
Only a win will do for the Jam Tarts and that’s 19/20 but Rosenborg are dangerous opponents that could pick them off on the break so Hearts may need to score two just to stay in the tie. That’s something they’re more than capable of at even money.
AZ Alkmaar should have a field day against Santa Coloma, who finished 3rd in Andorra last season. They only managed a 1-0 win away last week but should have more joy in front of their own fans tonight. Odds are generally short but scoring Over 3.5 shouldn’t be beyond them at 4/5.
In the Europa League Sheriff Tiraspol put five past BATE Boris last week and look good value at 20/21 to win again in neutral Hungary against the Belarusians.

Al-Khaleej Saihat v Al Ahli Jeddah – 7.00pm (Saudi Professional League)
Al-Ahli have recently been on a £123 million spending spree and purchased a lot of top-flight players. Their current squad includes: Riyad Mahrez, Roger Ibanez, Roberto Firmino, Allan Saint-Maximin, Franck Kessie and Edouard Mendy.
They are playing against Al Khaleej, who sit towards the bottom of the league and spent just £2 million on players. Al Khaleej’s squad consists of mainly domestic Saudi players.
As you would expect, Al Ahli are priced as 1.50 favourites to win (and the price is starting to slide). The only potential issue is Roberto Firmino may be out of tonight’s game due to a hamstring issue. Even without Robbie, there should still be enough class for Al Ahli to win this one.
Al Ahli Jeddah to win: 1.50, or for better value Al Ahli Jeddah to win + over 1.5 goals: 1.80 (Bet365)
Also, Al Ahli Jeddah -1.0 asian at 1.80 worth looking at (Al Ahli win by 2+ goals = you win, Al Ahli wins by 1 goal = stake refund)
