The road to the group stages of the Champions League is a long one for the teams involved tonight, who are all competing for one of six places to be filled when the draw takes place on August 25th.
The Champions Path sees the likes of Dinamo Zagreb, Malmo, Midtjylland, Ludogorets and Bodo/Glimt all in action this evening.
If you're a regular listener to the Gambla Norwegian Podcast you'll know that Bodo/Glimt aren't quite the same force they've been the last two seasons and injuries appear to have caught up with them. They limped past Faroeses opposition in the last round and although they should still be good enough to get past Linfield over two legs they could face a tricky night in Belfast tonight.
The northern Irish Champions edged past TNS of Wales in the last round but the last time they came up against Norwegian opposition they lost 0-6 on aggregate. It should be an entertaining night at Windsor Park and there could be some goals, for which the Norwegians have been famed for of late. 10 of Linfield's last 14 two-legged European matches have seen Over 2.5 goals, which pays 4/5 tonight.
Irish champions Shamrock Rovers face a difficlut night in Razgrad against Ludogorets. The Bulgarian champions lost just once at home on their way to the title last season and easily disposed on Motenegran opposition in the last round, winning both legs.
Rovers have been grinding out results domestically and hold a healthy lead at the top of the table but this will be a big step up in class against a side who finished third in their Champions League group back in 2016-17. A home win to nil looks backable at even money.
In Scotland the League Cup matches should be approached with the usual caution. St Mirren (2/5) and St Johnstone (2/5) won't be fancying their trips to Airdrieonians and Elgin City much, but Aberdeen should win at a canter against Stirling Albion.
The Dons have coasted through their opening two games winning each of them 2-0 and another win to nil could be on the cards at 10/11.
There's a fascinating match between two of the SPFL's newest kids on the block when Cove Rangers host Kelty Hearts and Dundee could be vulnerable against Billy Stark's Queen's Park at Ochilview although there's been a little bit of money for the Dens Parkers who have shortened to 10/11 to pick up the three points.

It’s a Reykjavik derby tonight and I fancy there to be plenty of action and plenty of goals. KR haven’t been seeing too many BTTS/o2.5 overall in home games but they have been seeing plenty of goals lately. They’ve conceded 13 in their last 5, including 3 at home to basement club IA in a 3-3 draw. And against teams in and around them, they’ve gone o2.5/BTTS in plenty of games this season. This is a game they’ll be massively targeting to win and will be going all out to attack a Fram team with only 1 clean sheet all season.
The main reason I’m taking this bet on is because of Fram. Absolute goals machines. Fram average 4.2 goals per game, have seen o2.5/BTTS in 11/14 games this season and in 6 of their 7 away games. In those away games, there’s been an insane number of goals: (3-1,2-2,4-3,1-2,4-1,1-1,4-2). They have scored 3 at leaders Breidablik, 1 at second placed Vikingur and 2 at third place KA. If they can score against quality opposition like that, you’d have to back them to contribute against KR who are placed one place above them. In fact, Fram have scored in EVERY game this season. Incredible. This is a game Fram will be targeting to win in order to jump in to European qualifying spots and I feel they’ll attack in numbers, as per usual.
Finally, I looked at head to heads in this fixture and couldn’t believe my eyes. All of the last 6 meetings have gone over 2.5 goals with a grand total of 29 goals scored in those 6 games at an average of 4.8 per game. The 3 most recent results (this season and last season) have been 1-4, 1-3 and 8-2!
A shade under evens for just 3 goals and BTTS in a fixture where goal-fests are common is worth taking on in my opinion.
Good luck all 👍🏻

Late heads up
Birmingham have sent predominantly a team of kids to play Cheltenham in a friendly tonight as they are also playing Solihull in a charity game for Arthur Lydjabie Trust where the first team have gone
Cheltenham are 14-5 which is massive considering they are playing the same side more or less that started against Cardiff on Saturday

Long days at the minute for me and a quick post for some Costa Rican corners – the bookies don’t always offer corners for the CR games and especially those matches featuring the top sides…I reckon Herediano cangrab a fair few:
