LEEDS UNITED have just two games left to secure an instant return to the Premier League and can ill afford a slip tonight against a Queen’s Park Rangers side looking to guarantee Championship safety.
A thrilling 4-3 win at Middlesbrough, which brought up one of Monday’s Super Singles, lifted Daniel Farke’s side back above Ipswich into the second automatic promotion place.
Leicester look out of sight at the summit after hammering Southampton 5-0 a day later to bring up another bet for me. But Leeds need to concentrate on holding off Ipswich Town, who are one point behind them but have a game in hand.
A victory tonight would pile the pressure on the Tractor Boys ahead of their trip to Hull City on Saturday. But three points are far from guaranteed against a QPR side who have lost just twice in seven games to move four points clear of the drop zone.
Queen’s Park Rangers v Leeds United: Top Betting Tips
When these sides faced off earlier this season it ended in a 1-0 win for Leeds United at Elland Road and this could be another tense 90 minutes with so much at stake.
BTTS has only come up in one of the last five for QPR so betting against it could be wise tonight at evens with William Hill. Under 2.5 goals also appeals at 5.4 with Unibet.
Crysencio Summerville was the Leeds hero again on Monday, netting a double in that thrilling win over Boro. The winger is 9/5 at LiveScoreBet for another goal while SkyBet are also offering 11/10 on the Dutchman being fouled over 2.5 times.
Lyndon Dykes should lead the line for Queen’s Park Rangers and the Scotland striker always puts himself about. He’s 13/10 at Paddy Power to commit over 1.5 fouls and that looks good value.
Airdrieonians v Dundee United: Top Betting Tips
Dundee United effectively wrapped up the SPFL Championship title last weekend as a win over Ayr preserved their six-point lead with just two games to play and a 36-goal advantage over nearest rivals Raith.
All of the issues at the top end of the table are already decided, with Rovers guaranteed second spot and the other play-off places going to Partick Thistle and Airdrieonians.
The Diamonds host Dundee United tonight in what should be a carnival atmosphere but boss Rhys McCabe will be looking for a response after Airdrieonians lost 3-0 to Partick at the weekend.
This should be an open game with the pressure off so I’m going to back goals at both ends. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays a decent 11/8 with William Hill and that looks well worth a punt.
Two of the three meetings this season have hit double figures in the corner count so backing over 10.5 corners also stands a chance at 23/20 (BetVictor).
Real Sociedad v Real Madrid: Top Betting Tips
It’s only a matter of time before Real Madrid’s coronation as La Liga champions after a win in last weekend’s Clasico sent them 11 points clear of Barcelona at the summit.
Carlo Ancelott’s men head to San Sebastian tonight for a clash with Real Sociedad and it won’t be easy with the Basque side looking to hang on to a Europa League slot.
Real Sociedad are on a five-game unbeaten run but have drawn their last two to lose a little momentum. It ended 2-1 to Real Madrid when these sides faced off at the Bernabeu so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals looks the shout again at 6/4 with Coral.
Vinicius Junior is in fantastic form for Real Madrid and the Brazilian winger is 100/30 at SkyBet for an assist in this one.
