Sunderland have one foot in the EFL Championship play-off final but Coventry City will fancy their chances of turning the tie around at the Stadium of Light tonight.
I tipped Frank Lampard's men to win the first leg last week after Sunderland went into the play-offs in terrible form. But despite dominating possession, City ended up losing 2-1 at home thanks to a late defensive mistake.
A massive crowd will now turn up expecting the Black Cats to finish the job but a one-goal lead is always precarious and it will be fascinating to see how the second leg plays out.
Sunderland vs Coventry City top betting tips
The problem for a manager who has won away from home in a first leg is whether to stick or twist and Regis Le Bris faces that dilemma tonight.
But with 40,000 fans roaring them on, I'd be surprised if Sunderland sat back so this should be a decent watch. The bookies agree as BoyleSports price BTTS at just 3/4 but adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 13/10.
We saw 14 corners in the first leg, with 10 of them going to Coventry. The Sky Blues need to attack again tonight so I fancy over 5.5 Coventry corners at 7/5 while over 11.5 match flag kicks pays 6/4.
The ref could have a busy night with so much at stake and Sunderland's Luke O'Nien is 27/10 at Ladbrokes to take his card tally for the season into double figures.
Partick Thistle v Livingston top betting tips
It's the perennial case of momentum v fresher legs tonight as the SPFL Premiership play-off semi-final gets underway.
Partick Thistle head into the game on a high after a brilliant 2-0 win at Ayr overturned a 1-0 first-leg deficit in the quarter-final.
They will now fancy their chances against Livingston after beating the Lions 1-0 away from home on the final day of the regular season to seal their place in the play-offs.
But David Martindale's men have had time off to rest weary limbs and had won four in a row before that slip against the Jags.
So tonight's Firhill first leg is a tricky one to call and the half-time draw looks the safest option at evens with BoyleSports.
Interim player-boss Brian Graham was the Partick hero last week as his double at Ayr made it 100 goals for the club. The veteran striker is 9/4 at Bet365 to add to his tally tonight.
East Fife vs Annan Athletic
The rest of the play-offs in the SPFL are now at the final stage and East Fife take on Annan Athletic tonight in the battle for a place in League One.
The Methil men head into tonight's game with their tails up after an impressive 3-0 win at home to Edinburgh City on Saturday sealed a 3-1 aggregate triumph.
Annan were less impressive at the weekend as they lost 2-1 at home to Elgin but they had done the hard work away from home and still progressed 5-4 on aggregate.
Based on those displays, East Fife look pretty good value at 20/21 with BoyleSports for a win in tonight's first leg with home advantage. Adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 7/5.
Dick Campbell's men have scored two or more in their last four in Methil so over 1.5 East Fife goals on its own also looks decent at 20/23.

Good afternoon, guys,
Today’s punt,
Last round of Italian Serie B tonight, ? over 1.5 match goals 1238/100.
I am going for a punt on Cittadella to beat Salernitana in the bottom
of the table clash. A win for either club could help them avoid relegation,
depending on other results. Frosinone & Sampdoria have tough away games
against top 5 clubs, whilst Brecsia have a home fixture against Reggiana, who
have won their last 4 matches.
Cittadella are unbeaten in the 10 Home H2H’s between these clubs, with 6 wins
& 4 draws.
Salernitana have not won any of last 12 away games, 9 loses & 3 draws, having failed
to score in 10 of those games.
Cittadella sit below Salernitana on goal difference, but do at least manage to score
on a regular basis, only drawback they tend to concede regularly, only keeping 2
clean sheets in last 12 home fixture,
Hoping Salernitana continue with their inability to score and Cittadella manage to
strike, going for,
Cittadella to win @ 23/10 with Bet365
Good luck with all bets today!!!!!
Great write up Willie 👍
Thanks Elvis, I know most of my punts usually flop, but I do try and
research my punts before posting!
Brighton v Liverpool
Brighton to win at 8/5
This fixture is a week away but Liverpool are literally on holiday, with the title easily wrapped up there’s not much training ahead of this game, beers are flowing by the looks of it so a home win here appeals a lot at a decent price.
Brian Graham (Partick Thistle) Anytime scorer 6/4 Willie Hills. Was also looking for a price for him to score a header but couldn’t find it?
Cards tonight in the playoffs
2+ cards each & both to be carded in the 2nd half
Sunderland v Coventry 11/10
Partick v Livingston 27/20
4/1 double
Ruben Amorim next manager to go if you can find a price. He’s funded out of his own pocket 30 staff members to go to the Europa final. He’s gone above rat faces head which means an inevitable outcome, can’t see him staying after the final. What a club eh lol
Even when you’ve won the premier league your main topic is us , obsessed you are mate lol
Partick v Livingston
Partick 30+ booking points 5/4 Sky
The hosts have recorded a minimum of three yellows in their last seven at home and in all of the last four H2Hs. Also worth noting their last eight at home have seen at least 50+booking points. This also clicked in the last four H2Hs so 50+ booking points at 11/10 worth considering. Good luck.
