Bet of the day

Bristol City to beat Sheffield Wednesday @ 23/20 

Sheffield Wednesday pulled off a big victory against West Brom at Hillsborough at the weekend, but the Owls were pretty fortunate to win that contest 3-2. 

West Brom had 70 per cent possession in Saturday’s contest and the Owls’ three goals came from an expected goals tally of just 1.19. 

Danny Rohl’s men have saved their best performances for South Yorkshire this season but it has been a different story on the road. 

The Owls were comprehensively outplayed in a 2-1 defeat to Luton in their latest Championship away day and that followed a 3-0 loss at Millwall and a 4-0 thumping at the Stadium of Light when they took on Sunderland. 

Bristol City’s performances should have led to more wins this season and it has to be taken on trust that the Robins will start to convert their chances. However, Liam Manning’s men have won the shot count in all but one of their seven Championship matches this season and they rate the best play on Wednesday’s card. 

Special of the day

 Bayern Munich to win & over 4.5 goals v Aston Villa @ 4/1 

Aston Villa have their shot in Europe’s top competition and it doesn’t come bigger than a Villa Park tie against German giants Bayern Munich. 

Unai Emery’s men have made an unconvincing start to the Premier League season and they are yet to keep a single top-flight clean sheet. 

Conceding six goals in four games against Wycombe, Leicester, Ipswich and Everton doesn’t inspire confidence in Villa keeping a brilliant Bayern side at bay, but Emery is no stranger to meeting fire with fire. 

Villa have scored 15 goals in their last six games, while Bayern have bulged the net on an incredible 21 occasions in their last  four matches. 

At 4/1, a punt on the Bavarians to win and over 4.5 goals in the game could pay dividends.

Long shot of the day

Under 2.5 goals in Girona v Feyenoord @ 5/4 

Feyenoord crash in the goals for fun in the Eredivise, but it has not been so easy when the Dutch side step up in class in Europe. 

The Club on the Meuse managed only three shots on target when losing 4-0 to Bayer Leverkusen in their Champions League opener and Brian Priske’s men could struggle to break down Girona. 

The Spanish defence held out to the dying seconds of their matchday one tie at PSG and the White and Reds have conceded only three goals in their last four matches. 

Backing under 2.5 goals looks a play at the Estadi Montilivi.
