Wednesdays top tips

Russell Martin got his Rangers' reign off to a winning start last week and now has a 2-0 lead to defend when they take on Panathinaikos in Greece tonight.

Panathinaikos will be still be trying to work out how they lost the first leg of that Champions League qualifier as they could have been a few goals ahead by half-time.

But they conceded on the break early in the second half then the game slipped away from them when Georgios Vagiannids picked up a second yellow card.

Rangers took advantage to grab a second goal but will that lead be enough when they enter a hostile atmosphere in Athens' Olympic Stadium?

Panathinaikos vs Rangers top betting tips

Based on how the first leg panned out, Panathinaikos will fancy their chances of getting back into this tie and BoyleSports make them 4/6 favourites for a win on the night. That price looks decent and you can boost the odds to 21/20 by adding on over 1.5 goals.

The Greeks won 6-3 on the corner count at Ibrox last weekend and that was with them playing more than 30 minutes with 10 men. Back at home you would expect them to win a few more so over 7.5 Panathinaikos corners could be worth a punt at 13/10 with BoyleSports.

Facundo Pellistri was a big threat down the right flank in the first leg and will still be kicking himself for missing an open goal early in the game. The former Manchester United winger is 9/4 at BoyleSports for a goal tonight and that looks a little overpriced.

Servette vs Viktoria Plzen

If Rangers manage get to past the Greeks, they will play the winners of the tie between Servette and Viktoria Plzen in the third qualifying round.

It's the Swiss side who are in command at the halfway stage of this tie, having claimed an excellent 1-0 win in the Czech Republic last week.

Despite that fine result, BoyleSports make Servette 13/5 outsiders tonight with home advantage and Plzen are the 4/5 favourites.

It's probably because the Czechs dominated the first leg, with 25 shots compared to just six from Servette, and Plzen need to attack again in the second leg.

Plzen won 9-3 on the corner count last week and should be on the front foot tonight so I like Viktoria -1.5 in the corner handicap at 20/23 with BoyleSports. Taking that to -2.5 boosts the odds to 7/5.

Servette will be tempted to defend their lead so there could also be some value in backing most goals to come after the break at evens.

FCSB vs Shkendija

Another Champions League qualifier remains nicely poised heading into the second leg as FCSB try to overturn a 1-0 deficit at home to Shkendija.

The Macedonians caused an upset last week by edging a fiery first leg that saw both teams finish the game with 10 men.

But FCSB will be confident of turning the tie around back in Bucharest and BoyleSports make them 1/5 hot favourites for a win on the night,

The Romanians, European champions in 1986 under their former guise as Steaua Bucharest, reached the last 16 of the Europa League last term.

Manchester United and Lyon were the only teams to beat them in Bucharest so they should be too strong for Shkendija.

It's hard finding value with FCSB such heavy favourites but backing them to score over 2.5 goals looks decent at 20/21 with BoyleSports. The same firm also offer 6/4 on the Romanians winning both halves.
