Higgins is getting on now in age bit is still plying some great snooker and a top ten player at his best. Both players won their quarter finals yesterday comfortably with Higgins beating bang in form Murphy 6-2, Maguire beat a player ranked 60.

I am going for BTTS tonight in this game, the visitors have seen it happen in eight of their 11 La Liga games. The hosts have seen it in 7 of their 11 La Liga games.

This is a really tough game to call tonight with both sides missing key players and in very similar good form. So, I will go with a stalemate.

This guy has been the key to the visitors' success over the last couple of weeks, scoring a brace over Sevilla. He has also been assisting goals too.

20:00 Aston Villa v Maccabi Tel Aviv
Aston Villa
50 WIN
@1.20
Win
10
Very short odds for a home win here tonight, but I think Villa will be too strong for the visitors. Villa have won five of their last seven games in all competitions.
Aston Villa & No (Result + BTTS)
Result and BTTS
50 WIN
@2.00

I have to add this selection as well tonight with Villa's two wins in the EL this season seeing them keeping clean sheets.
Ollie Watkins
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@4.20
Lose
-50
I will take a chance on this tip tonight, despite his poor form so far this season. He has just one goal so far this season, but this might be the perfect opportunity for him to build some much needed confidence with a goal tonight.
20:00 Crystal Palace v AZ
Crystal Palace
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
I will also go with Palace winning tonight as they are still in very good form in all competitions. Recently, they won at Anfield. It won't be easy tonight, but they should edge it.
Jean Philippe Mateta
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@4.33
Lose
-50
I was tempted to go with Pino but this guy has been in great form in all competitions and is the main man up front for the hosts.
20:00 Rangers v Roma
Roma
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Rangers have shown some improved form under their new manager but are still struggling somewhat. They face a very good side visiting tonight, and I think the visitors might edge this game.
Matias Soule
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@6.50
Win
275
I am going to take a chance on this guy scoring first tonight. With Dybala out injured, this guy will be a big threat and has scored three goals this season.

A good chance this guy will find the net tonight. He is the main focal point for the visitors, and he can maintain his current scoring run tonight.

I was tempted to go with overs here tonight with the two sides averaging. The visitors are averaging 2.4 cards in their last 20 CL away trips, and the hosts in their last twenty home CL games are averaging 2.2 cards.
20:00 Benfica v Bayer Leverkusen
Benfica
50 WIN
@2.15
Lose
-50
Again, here I will go with a home win tonight, as the hosts look to finally get off the mark without a point. The visitors were hammered by Bayern over the weekend and, like the hosts, are looking for that first CL win.
Vangelis Pavlidis
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.10
Lose
-50
I like the chances of this guy finding the net tonight, he's having a great season with 13 goals across his 20 games so far this season.
20:00 Club Brugge v Barcelona
Barcelona
50 WIN
@1.53
Lose
-50
I have to go with an away win here tonight with bang-in-form Barcelona visiting a side with a lot of injury problems in their camp. It might be a tough evening for the hosts.
20:00 Inter Milan v Kairat Almaty
Inter Milan (AH) -3.75
Asian Hcap
50 WIN
@2.02
Lose
-50
The hosts have a perfect record so far in the CL and are red-hot favorites to win. They should do so, but it's now a question of how easily they win the game. I think the hosts should win comfortably, with the visitors losing 4-1 and 5-0 so far.
Davide Frattesi
Anytime Goalscorer
50 WIN
@2.20
Lose
-50
I think the hosts will rest some players tonight, and this guy has a good chance of scoring. He is a very attack-minded midfielder who scored ten goals last season for Inter.
20:00 Man City v Borussia Dortmund
Man City
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
Big game tonight with a lot of rivalry, but City have got their form back again this season and are always difficult to beat here. Should be an entertaining game.
Erling Haaland
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@3.50
Lose
-50
I have to go with this selection with Haaland in such fantastic form and scoring so many goals so far, he's full of confidence and he's likely to open the scoring tonight.
20:00 Marseille v Atalanta
Marseille
50 WIN
@2.50
Lose
-50
I am going with a home win here tonight with the hosts in better form than the visitors. The hosts are fresh from a good away win in France over the weekend, and the visitors could only draw in Italy.
20:00 Newcastle v Athletic Bilbao
Newcastle
50 WIN
@1.55
Win
28
Things didn't go well for Newcastle over the weekend with a very disappointing performance and defeat against relegation battle side West Ham. I expect a much better performance tonight, and they will bounce back to winning form.
Nick Woltemade
First Goalscorer
50 WIN
@4.75
Lose
-50
I have been very impressed with Newcastle's new striker signing over the summer. He has been in great form and scoring plenty of goals. I can see him firing another one or two tonight and he is my pick here.
20:00 Portsmouth v Wrexham
Wrexham
50 WIN
@2.88
Lose
-50
I have to go with a win for the visitors here today, who have not reached the heights that were expected. But they have lost once in five and will be full of confidence after being the first side to beat Coventry last week. The hosts are four places below and have lost three on the bounce.
19:45 Altrincham v Boston Utd
Boston Utd
50 WIN
@3.60
Lose
-50
I am not sure why the visitors are big outsiders here tonight as they sit 13th with one defeat in five. They are visiting a side sitting six places below, a place above the bottom four, with no wins in five, losing three.
19:45 Preston v Swansea
Preston
50 WIN
@2.30
Win
65
Preston have made a decent start so far, and back-to-back wins have seen them climb into the top six. After a good start, the visitors have tumbled down the table to 17th with one win in five. I have to go with a home win.
19:45 QPR v Southampton
QPR
50 WIN
@2.75
Lose
-50
Again, here I have to go with home advantage despite the hosts having just one win and three defeats in their last four games. They still sit 15th and could climb up the table to tenth with a win. The visitors are having an awful season so far, winless in five, losing the last three, and sit one place above the bottom three.
19:45 Sheff Wed v Norwich
Draw
50 WIN
@3.60
Win
130
Wow, this is a tricky game to call with the bottom two meeting. We all know the problems the hosts have had and the big -12 points for the hosts, seeing them bottom on -5 points. But they managed to hold West Brom to a draw in their last game. Norwich are also in real trouble, sitting a place above and losing their last five. I will go with a draw.
19:45 Woking v Southend
Southend
50 WIN
@1.85
Lose
-50
I have to go with the favorites here who sit sixth. A win tonight would see them close to within a point of fifth place FGR. The hosts sit 16th.
19:45 York v Gateshead
York
50 WIN
@1.25
Win
12
I was expecting York to be in the automatic promotion battle, but they sit in the final playoff spot with back-to-back draws after two wins. They can move to sixth with a win against a just below mid table side tonight, who are winless in three.
11:30 Ding Junhui v Shaun Murphy
Shaun Murphy
Win Match
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
This should be a cracker of a match with the back-in-form Murphy up against the home fans' hero, who on his day can beat the best. But he tends to be up and down, and I will go with Murphy.

Huge difference in the rankings with Maguire, the higher ranked, and is in good form beating Kyren Wilson yesterday. His opponent has won his last four games, but only one of them was against a decent ranked player.

Coventry still sit three points clear at the top despite losing their first game of the season last weekend. Tonight they host a side sitting at the bottom of the table with just one win, and I have to go with a home win.

Salah had been out of sorts up front recently for Liverpool, but he found the net last weekend for the first time after a poor spell. That should do him the world of good, and I can see him doing it again tonight.

I am with the bookies here and am going with overs in the cards market tonight. It's likely to be a frantic game with lots of attacking and lots of fouls. The referee is renowned for showing lots of cards and averages 4.35 cards per game.
20:00 Olympiacos v PSV
Ayoub El Kaabi
Anytime Goalscorer

@1.95

I have to go with this player from the hosts who has been in great form and already scored nine goals so far this season.
19:45 Birmingham v Millwall
Birmingham
50 WIN
@1.80
Win
40
Big game up the road tonight with Birmingham's hopes of opening their new ground next season in the Premier League, but it hasn't gone to form so far, sitting 11th. But they are strong here normally, and they face a side in great form in fourth place, but that winning run ended last time with a draw at struggling Oxford United.
19:45 Boreham Wood v Aldershot
Boreham Wood
50 WIN
@1.44
Win
22
The hosts are having a great season, sitting top of the table and fresh from knocking L2 side Crawley out of the FA Cup over the weekend. Aldershot are a very up and down side, sitting 18th.
19:45 Bristol City v Blackburn
Bristol City
50 WIN
@2.20
Lose
-50
I expect the promotion-chasing hosts will bounce back from a hammering at Stoke over the weekend, and they still sit fifth. They are usually strong here, and the visitors are having a poor season, sitting just above the bottom three.
19:45 Buxton v Southport
Buxton
50 WIN
@1.57

I have to go with a home win here tonight with the hosts in great form sitting 6th and looking for a fifth win on the bounce tonight. The visitors sit bottom of the table with no wins in four.
19:45 Carlisle v Halifax
Carlisle
50 WIN
@1.62
Win
31
Huge game for the hosts tonight as they sit third in the table, with the leaders not playing and the second-place side playing against the fourth-placed side. The hosts knocked out League One side Reading over the weekend and will be full of confidence tonight. A win could see them ending the evening top of the table.
19:45 Hartlepool v Morecambe
Hartlepool
50 WIN
@1.75
Lose
-50
The hosts were one of my fancies to go well this season, but it's not really got going so far. They sit 10th, and a win against out-of-form, second-bottom, relegated Morecambe tonight could see them move into the top seven.
19:45 Ipswich v Watford
Ipswich
50 WIN
@1.70
Lose
-50
Ipswich have taken a while to adjust to the Championship after relegation, but the signs are better as they look for a third win on the bounce. Watford sit a place below in the nth place. They have hit form too with two wins in three.
19:45 Oxford Utd v Stoke
Stoke
50 WIN
@2.38
Win
69
Stoke are in very good form this season, sitting third with back-to-back wins. They visit a side that looks like it is fighting against relegation again, but recent form has seen an improvement.
19:45 Rochdale v Scunthorpe
Rochdale
50 WIN
@1.62
Void

I am going with a home win here as Rochdale look to regain top spot. They face a side sitting fourth who had an FA Cup game over the weekend. Home advantage is important tonight.

Napoli

@1.62

I will go with a home win here, with home advantage being key. These two last met in the 2022/23 season in the Champions League, and Napoli won both games. Both sides have three points, so a lot is at stake.
17:45 Slavia Prague v Arsenal
Arsenal
50 WIN
@1.25

Again, here I will go with the favorites who are in great form in all competitions and are one of five teams with a 100% record in this season's CL. The hosts have drawn two and lost once in the CL.

I can't tip world number one Trump today at short odds after losing the recent final. In this week's two games, he has won but struggled at times. He won both matches against very lower-ranked players 6-3 and 6-4. He is up against a better player today.
