The Scottish Cup fourth round gets underway tonight and League Two Annan Athletic will be looking to pull off one of the biggest shocks in history when they face Rangers at Ibrox.
Danny Rohl’s men head into this tie in excellent form after five successive wins fired them right into the SPFL Premiership title race.
Annan are also in decent shape after losing just one of their last six but Rangers represent a massive step up in class and the minnows are as big as 60/1 with William Hill.
Rangers vs Annan top betting tips
It’s hard finding value for Rangers as you have to go to -4 in the handicap to get to 5/4 with William Hill.
Fancy backing a team with a goal advantage or underdog status? Take a look at our Masterclass on Handicap Betting to understand how the margins shift.
Annan will probably sit deep and I can’t see there being many cards flashed as the League Two side are unlikely to do much pressing. So the evens on offer at Bet365 for under 3.5 cards looks the best option for punters.
Rohl will probably make plenty of changes for this one after a demanding run of league fixtures, with a European clash against Ludogorets up next.
Oliver Antman has rarely been seen since Rohl took over, with the Finn’s last appearance coming at the end of November.
But he was on the bench at Pittodrie on Sunday and could get a rare start tonight, with the winger the only Ibrox forward not odds-on to score. William Hill price him at evens to get among the goals.
West Bromwich Albion vs Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough have the chance to cut Coventry’s lead in the EFL Championship to just three points tonight and will fancy their chances away to struggling West Brom.
With the Sky Blues slipping up in the last few weeks, it has opened the door for Boro but they haven’t done a very good job of battering it down.
Kim Hellberg’s side have won just once in their last five league outings, although that victory did come in their last Championship game against Southampton as they romped it 4-0.
West Brom’s form is even worse, with four defeats in their last five league games, but they did claim a shootout win over Swansea in the FA Cup last weekend.
Middlesbrough won 2-1 when these sides faced off earlier in the season and could offer a bit of value at 15/8 with Bet365 for another victory tonight.
We only saw five corners in that game at the Riverside so I’m going for under 10 corners tonight at 11/10 with SkyBet.
Paris St-Germain vs Lille
The pick of the European action tonight sees Paris St-Germain host Lille in a game that could have a huge bearing on the French title race.
The European champions are having some domestic difficulties this season and PSG head into this game sitting a point behind surprise leaders Lens.
They also lost at home to Paris FC in the French Cup in midweek so Luis Enrique will be looking for a response tonight against a Lille side who sit fourth.
Lille are only seven points behind PSG so a win at the Parc des Princes would really put the cat amongst the pigeons.
The bookies can’t see it happening though as they make the champions 4/9 hot favourites, with Lille as big as 6/1 at Betfred.
BTTS has landed in the last nine meetings so there could be some value in combining that with over 2.5 goals, which pays evens at Coral.
Lille’s defence will have a tough night against Enrique’s speedy forwards and veteran Thomas Meunier is a decent 16/5 at BetVictor to go into the book.
