IT'S another big night of Champions League qualifying but the Welsh and Irish sides in action need a miracle.
Shamrock Rovers trail Sparta Prague 2-0 heading into the second leg in the Czech Republic while The New Saints have an even bigger mountain to climb as they host Ferencvaros looking to overhaul a 5-0 deficit.
Lots of other ties have been similarly one-sided so it's best to stick with contests that are in the balance when it comes to today's betting.
The game of the round last week was Fenerbahce's trip to Lugano as Jose Mourinho's reign got off to a spectacular start.
The Special One has made a habit of grinding out dreary wins in Europe but his bow with the Turks was anything but as they claimed a 4-3 win.
That has left Lugano needing to go for it tonight so it should be another good watch in Istanbul.

Fenerbahce v Lugano Top Betting Tips
After edging the first leg, Fenerbahce are heavy favourites for a win on home soil at 2/7 with Betfred. Lugano caused them plenty of problems last week though so a home win with BTTS might be a good shout at 6/4.
Edin Dzedko is odds-on for a goal after his first-leg hat-trick so it's best looking elsewhere for some value with a Fenerbahce scorer. Former Rangers winger Ryan Kent picked up an injury in the first leg and was replaced by Irfan Kahveci.
Kahveci should start in the second leg and the Turk is 7/5 for anytime scorer which could be worth a punt.
Petrocub v APOEL Top Tips
APOEL Nicosia have reached the group stage of the Champions League four times in the last 15 years but they take the slenderest of leads into their qualifier with Moldovan club Petrocub.
The Cypriots edged a 1-0 victory on home soil but Petrocub will be confident of turning the tie around after edging out Ordabasy in the last round.
That clash with a tight affair, with just one goal across the two legs, and tonight's game promises to be cagey as well.
The half-time draw appeals at 19/20 while betting against BTTS pays 10/11.
Slovan Bratislava v Celje Top Tips
The only other tie tonight that remains in the balance comes in Slovakia as Slovan Bratislava bid to see off Celje of Slovenia.
Last week's first leg ended 1-1 and Slovan are 19/20 favourites to win tonight with home advantage. That looks a decent price after Slovan managed to hold out for a draw last week after a first-half red card.
They also won both legs in the last round against Struga, prevailing 4-2 at home. That suggests that backing Slovan for over 1.5 goals tonight could pay off at 10/11. The price increases to 3/1 if you go for over 2.5 Slovan goals.

Correction ADMIN Petrocub from Moldova not Romania
Thanks Grizman, got their flags mixed up
Any own goal suggestions on the Olympic football today please ?
I put £1 on each of the 8 x men’s games, so £8 in total, so if 1 comes in it’s break even, if 2 comes in it’s a Chinese takeaway, if 3 comes in it’s an Indian meal and a pint etc…..

Fraserburgh vs Hearts B
East Kilbride vs Celtic B
Nice to have time to stick something up, and quite fancy goals in a few of these games, particularly the two I have singled out. Think prices are fairly generous here. Some of the ‘B’ teams don’t actually play in a competitive league apart from Hearts & Celtic B, and are normally part of the reserve league for which they should probably be know as Dundee Utd reserves for example, so will be banded together from u21s, u19s, players coming back from injury etc.
The highland/lowland league teams are no match for teams higher up the leagues such as Buckie’s 5-2 loss to Dundee Utd’s first team recently proves but are no mugs at this level and will have some joy finding the net.
Good luck 🤞
