Celtic have one foot in the UEFA Champions League group stage but still have a bit of work to do away to LASK in their play-off second leg.
The Hoops hold a 3-0 lead after a thrilling encounter at Parkhead but the Austrians showed enough attacking threat last week to suggest this tie isn't over.
And with the home crowd behind them, LASK will come out with all guns blazing as they look to make it a nervous night for Martin O'Neill's side.
LASK vs Celtic top betting tips
The scoreline suggested LASK were outclassed at Parkhead but it didn't tell the whole story, with the away side having more shots at goal and efforts on target.
Dietmar Kuhbauer's men also had two goals ruled out for offside so they look worthy 9/10 favourites with Bet365 for a win on the night back at home.
Celtic were decent in the Europa League away from home after O'Neill's return last season, beating Feyenoord and claiming a creditable draw with Bologna.
But they still don't convince me in defence so I'm combining a LASK win with over 1.5 goals, which pays 5/4 at Bet365.
Things could get nervy for Celtic if they concede in the first half and backing them for most cards could pay off at 13/10 as they defend their lead.
Ipswich Town vs Leicester City
There's a few EFL Cup ties in England tonight and Ipswich Town will be looking to pile on the misery for new Leicester City boss Russell Martin.
Just a few years ago, it was Ipswich slumming it in League One while the Foxes were more than holding their own in the Premier League.
But it's now role reversal with the Tractor Boys back in the top flight and Leicester in the third tier after back-to-back relegations.
Martin's side have started the new season terribly, taking just a point from their first two league games, so it's easy to see why they are 19/4 outsiders tonight.
Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil may rotate his squad but still has plenty of quality in reserve so I like the 5/4 at Bet365 for the Tractor Boys to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Chuba Akpom is one of those who could be drafted in by O'Neil and the forward is 7/5 for anytime scorer.
Birmingham City vs Brentford
Brentford flew out of the traps in the Premier League at the weekend and will be looking to build more momentum when they take on Birmingham City in the EFL Cup tonight.
The Bees blitzed Spurs in their 3-0 win on Saturday and the scoreline could have been much bigger, such was the dominance of their display.
Brentford could be a threat in the cups this season and I'd imagine Keith Andrews will play a pretty strong side tonight, given it's so early in the campaign.
Birmingham are unbeaten in their three games so far, following up an EFL Cup win over Swansea with successive draws in the Championship.
On home turf they should put up a better fight than Tottenham but Brentford still look worthy 5/6 favourites. Adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/10 at Bet365.

Having a go at one of Davids bets – Kasper Hogh to score a header 8/1. Hills
Also for anyone interested the LASK no 7 is worth having a go for Shots on target/anytime scorer. Watched him live at Celtic Park last week and he was a menace to our weakened back line.
Best of luck with all bets lads 👍
