Bet of the Day - Stoke to win vs Blackburn @ 31/20
Stoke boss Mark Robins saw his side come agonisingly close to snatching a point at former club Coventry at the weekend but they slipped to a 3-2 defeat as the Sky Blues grabbed a last-gasp winner.
The display was encouraging for the Potters, however, and a similar level of performance may be good enough for three points against a Blackburn side who have struggled on their travels recently.
Rovers are in the mix for a top six finish but their away form has been poor. The Ewood Park outfit went down 2-1 at Derby at the weekend, with the Rams going into that fixture on the back of a 13-game winless run, and they’ve lost five of their last six away from home.
Stoke have found wins hard to come by at home but they have only lost one of their last six league games at this venue, and they look a decent price to grind out a vital victory.
Special of the Day - Aston Villa to Win or Draw, Aston Villa Over 4.5 Corners, Marcus Rashford 1+ Assists @ 13/2 (Boosted from 11/2)
Aston Villa have a 3-1 lead over Club Brugge ahead of the second leg of this Champions League tie and they can finish the job off by at least avoiding defeat.
Villa haven’t lost at home in any competition since October, and they are unbeaten at this venue in Europe this term so it would register as a shock if Brugge were able to win this game.
Unai Emery’s side only won one corner in the first leg but they have won at least five corners in three of their last four home games, and they may look to win a few set pieces in this game to disrupt any Brugge rhythm as they have a lead to protect.
The final leg of this boosted special is a Marcus Rashford assist and he has been productive since his loan arrival. Rashford has three assists across all competitions for Villa so far and his pace is likely to cause the visitors a few issues.
Longshot of the Day - Lille to win and both teams to score vs Borussia Dortmund @ 4/1
The Champions League tie between Lille and Borussia Dortmund is finely poised at 1-1 ahead of the second leg, but home advantage could be key.
Les Dogues were perhaps unlucky not to seize the advantage in Germany, but they can book their last eight spot by beating BVB in 90 minutes in France.
Lille have won eight of their last 11 home games across all competitions, losing just once in normal time in that run, and they claimed a memorable win over Real Madrid at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy during the league phase.
The Ligue 1 club have conceded in 11 of their last 13 games, however, and they are facing a Dortmund side who are yet to draw a blank on the road in this competition so goals at both ends looks likely.
