Germany defied the odds to reach the semi-finals of the women's European Championship and they'll need to do so again if they're to shock favourites Spain tonight.
It didn't look good for the Germans in their quarter-final when Kathrin Hendrich was sent off inside 13 minutes for conceding a penalty that France duly converted. But they battled back to equalise with 10 players and somehow held out before coming out on top in the shootout.
Christian Wuck's side showed heaps of character and will have to dig deep once more tonight against a Spain side who are odds-on favourites to lift the trophy after winning every game so far.
Germany Women vs Spain Women top betting tips
Spain are just 2/9 with BoyleSports to reach the final and the odds don't increase much if you tip them to get the job done inside 90 minutes, with that bet paying 4/9.
Having scored for fun in the group stage, the Spanish had to show patience before finally beating a stubborn Swiss side 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
Both goals arrived after the break so backing most action to come in the second half appeals here at 10/11, given the Germans are likely to defend deep.
If Wuck's side do set up to frustrate it could see the corner count rack up for Spain and backing them at -3.5 in the corner handicap pays 23/20 at BoyleSports.
Shelbourne vs Qarabag
Shelbourne's quest to reach the Champions League group stage continues tonight but they face a tough task against a Qarabag side with plenty of European experience.
The Irish champions came through a stormy tie in the last round as they edged a 2-1 aggregate win over Northern Irish side Linfield.
Qarabag are a big step up in class though and they reached the play-off round of Champions League qualifying last term before being knocked out by Dinamo Zagreb.
BoyleSports make the Azerbaijani side 8/15 favourites for a win in Dublin tonight but they might be a little undercooked as this is their first competitive game of the season.
So BTTS stand a chance tonight at 8/11 with BoyleSports while adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 23/20.
Shelbourne should have a go at home and that makes corners another good option, with over nine flag kicks priced at 11/10 by Bet365.
Heart of Midlothian vs Dumbarton
Hearts have got off to a flying start under new boss Derek McInnes and should make it four wins from four in the League Cup group stage when they host Dumbarton tonight.
There were a few teething troubles in the opening game against Dunfermline but the Jambos still managed to chalk up a 4-1 win thanks to a late flurry of goals.
They followed it by scoring four in each of their next two games against Hamilton and Stirling Albion, so it's hard to hold out much hope for League Two Dumbarton at Tynecastle tonight.
The Sons are 33/1 rank outsiders at BoyleSports after losing 4-0 at home to Dunfermline in their last outing. That makes it hard to find value but backing most goals to come in the first half pays 21/10, which could pay off if the Jambos fly out of the traps.
With Hearts scoring four in every game so far, it might also pay to take a punt on a 4-0 home win, which BoyleSports price at 5/1.
