Tottenham Hotspur flopped in their Premier League opener so Roberto De Zerbi desperately needs a morale-boosting win tonight as they host Charlton in the EFL Cup.
Spurs were lucky to lose just 3-0 at Brentford on Saturday night as their expensively-assembled team was ripped apart by the buzzing Bees.
That has left fans worried another season of underachievement awaits them and a loss to Charlton tonight would send more tension rippling through the stands.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Charlton Athletic top betting tips
Charlton have made an excellent start to the Championship campaign, with a surprise 2-1 win away to title favourites West Ham making it six points from six.
They also won 3-1 away to Chelteham in the last round of the EFL Cup but Bet365 still make the Addicks 10/1 rank outsiders for a win in 90 minutes tonight.
Tottenham are 2/9 favourites and there should be a response from De Zerbi's side after such a woeful weekend display.
The Italian should make plenty of changes and I'm expecting Dominic Solanke to start after coming off the bench at Brentford.
The striker is just 10/11 for a goal but combining that with a win for Spurs takes you to 21/20 at Bet365.
Rapid Vienna vs Heart of Midlothian
It's a big night for Hearts as they bid to avoid crashing out of a third European competition this summer in their Conference League play-off clash with Rapid Vienna.
The Jambos were battered 6-0 on aggregate by Sturm Graz in the Champions League qualifiers then lost 7-2 across two legs against Benfica after dropping down to the Europa League.
They are now facing another exit from the third-tier competition after only drawing 2-2 at home to Rapid Vienna in the first leg.
Rapid had won seven games in a row before that Tynecastle stalemate so it's not a big surprise to see them as 4/7 favourites for a win tonight.
This should be another good watch as Jambos boss Wouter Vrancken always sets up to attack. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 21/20 at Bet365 while the same firm offer a tempting 11/8 on the Austrians scoring in each half.
Lyon vs Fenerbahce
There's also four Champions League play-off ties tonight and the clash between Lyon and Fenerbahce in France takes top billing.
It's advantage Lyon after a 1-1 draw in Istanbul last week as Turkish clubs traditionally don't fare well away from home in Europe.
Bet365 make the Ligue 1 outfit 17/20 favourites for a win on the night and that looks decent value. You can boost the odds to 13/10 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
We only saw three cards in the first leg but I'm expecting a stormier affair tonight as the tie comes to a conclusion.
You have to go to over 5.5 cards to get to 11/10 at Bet365 but I'm more drawn to Fenerbahce -1 in the card handicap, which pays 2/1.

(I will update ROI after my “bet builder” tip above had been settled)
It a double not a bet builder🙈
So now your basically averaging down and some?
NOT a good move unless you know something 😆😆but hopefully comes in for you me ol mucker,have everything crossed🫶🙏🤞👍,its not due to Pickford but the Everton defence is soaking up everything so far,dont know what your take is on the game but from what im watching they lack confidence🤬,hopefully changes 2nd half for you me ol mucker
@Damian
Indeed, it’s not a bet builder hence the reason I’ve labelled it a DOUBLE mate, unless I’m reading something else and I’ve missed anything?
Preston going for it, but confident they can score still. Let’s wait and see. Everton defending well, and I expect them to. But with Preston being at home, I still do feel they can get the goal we need. Let’s wait and see. Onwards and upwards mate. Hope you have had a good day so far mate 😃
Correct i just looked at the end that is(i will update my ROI after my “bet builder” tip above had been settled)I just quickly scrolled down🤣🤣🤣
Everton GOAL @Damian just as I type mate ha lol
Your obviously watching the game as well,Preston lack vision and urgency but football is football,over 2.5 match goals👍
@Damian
It keeps things interesting, both football and betting ha the joys of life my good friend 😃👍🏽
0-2 becomes 0-4 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤣🤣🤣
Ouch!🤮,maybe reel it in a bit me ol mucker,only 🤡 bet recklessly and that will lead to the poor house 🏠 😭,only say this as your stake plan went up after a loss 📉 rather than level pegging,its a marathon not a race me ol mucker😉
Preston only 1 shot on target and 5 attempts on goal…I expected more than that from them, but that’s football. Well done Everton 👍🏽😃
Football is the Trump of investing 😂😂😂
Awful odds considering a double 🤔
