It's a classic case of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object tonight as Barcelona take on Inter Milan in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
Free-scoring Barcelona are on track for a memorable Quadruple this season after adding the Copa Del Rey to their Spanish Super Cup with a thrilling 3-2 win over Real Madrid on Saturday night.
They're four points clear in La Liga and 2/1 favourites for Champions League glory but now must find a way to break down the meanest defence in Europe as they host Inter.
Barcelona vs Inter Milan top betting tips
Simone Inzaghi's men have been a tough nut to crack this season and they've conceded just three goals in 11 Champions League games this season.
Their average of 0.27 goals shipped per game has only been bettered by city rivals Milan at Europe's top table, with the Rossoneri conceding 0.25 per game on their way to becoming European champions in 1993-94.
That solidity will give Inter hope of stopping a Barcelona side who are averaging over three goals a game in Europe but their form has dipped alarmingly of late, with a draw and three defeats in their last four games.
So Barca look worthy favourites at 8/13 with BoyleSports tonight, although you can boost the odds to 11/10 by backing a home win with under 4.5 goals.
This one could get a bit heated so I'm going for some fouls bets again. Doubling up over 0.5 fouls for Barca stopper Pau Cubarsi and Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu pays 5/4 at Bet365.
Blackpool vs Birmingham City top betting tips
Birmingham City have kept their standards pretty high since sealing the League One title and will be out to rack up another three points when they visit Blackpool in their penultimate game.
The champions have won their last three and dished out a 4-0 beating to Mansfield on Sunday so I thought they would be shorter than 20/23 for a win on the road tonight.
That looks good value with Blackpool losing two of their last four and you can boost the odds to 11/8 at BoyleSports by adding on over 1.5 goals.
These teams have faced off twice in league and cup this term, with neither meeting hitting double figures for corners. So it could pay to back under 9.5 flag kicks at 20/21 with BoyleSports.
Mansfield vs Peterborough United
There's one more game in League One tonight and there's little at stake but pride as Mansfield host Peterborough.
Despite a horror run that has seen them bank just a point from their last six games, the Stags can now relax as they're five points clear of the drop zone and the teams in the bottom four all have just one more game to play.
Peterborough sit just two places above their hosts in 17th after a disappointing campaign and Mansfield can move level on points with them by claiming a victory tonight.
Posh's form is much better, with just two defeats in their last seven, so they could be worth a punt at a generous 2/1 with BoyleSports.
Their last three games have all ended in 1-1 draws and the half-time stalemate also appeals at 6/5.

Arsenal were very light last night, thought they had to win the home leg to stand a good chance. Stop Saka and they stop Arsenal and that’s exactly what they did. Looks like the team needs a overhaul but will it be Arteta that sees that through.
He’s had long enough for me macca he’s made improvements over the 5 years he’s been in charge but just can’t get it over the line when it comes to the big moments
Exactly that Deano86, they kept calling Arteta a genius which to be honest is a tad embarrassing when they haven’t won a major trophy for 5 years. They couldn’t lay a glove on Liverpool who’s midfield is the best in the league by a country mile. Arsenal opening talks for a new deal for Partey he’s 31 now you’d of thought they would be looking to replace him at that age. They put Saka in the same bracket as Salah but in reality Saka’s way off what Salah is, you only have to look at the numbers and the trophies Salah has won. If Saka hits the same heights at Arsenal they would be winning trophies but they aren’t. Hopefully they can turn in round in Paris but you’d expect PSG to score so Arsenal would need at least 2 a big ask now.
Good player is saka but obviously not in the same bracket as salah

Salah will be looking to break Andy Cole’s Prem Scoring record in the last 4 games, he needs 3 more goals to do that so there’s no way Slot leaves him out the starting Line-ups
Barcelona v Inter
2 + cards each team 9/4
5 + cards in the match 9/4
Bet365
Well worth a punt imo
Refs have a terrible habit of not getting their cards out in semi finals, I’d be wary of this…
They look good to me cocker
2 + cards each team landed last night @ 2/1 master
Not to be LOSER
Should have went goals 😊
How can Yamal 2+ shots on target not be classed as a winner because the referee failed to recognise the keeper saved his shot and therefore awarded a goal kick and not a corner? The bet is a shot on target not what happens in the aftermath.
I dare say that bet will win regardless mate. Yamal running the show for Barca
I hope you’re right but it’s definitely scumbaggery. I expect nothing less from the bookies.
