Bet of the Day
Sevilla to lead at half-time vs Mallorca – 7/4
Monday's La Liga game comes from the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, where Sevilla entertain Mallorca.
Just three points separate the teams and they have hardly been inspiring this season with the hosts losing nine of 24 matches in La Liga and Mallorca's loss tally already into double figures.
On the road, Mallorca are all or nothing, with five wins and six losses from 11 games. Sevilla have scored more than once in only one of their 12 home La Liga games.
They could earn a half-time advantage this time, however, as Mallorca have shipped six goals inside the 30-minute mark in their previous four away days in all competitions. Trusting either side to see out a win is a stretch but the hosts can get their noses in front at the break.
Special of the Day
Leeds to win and Under 2.5 Goals – 14/5
Leeds have a real chance to take the Championship title race by the scruff of the neck when they make the trip to Bramall Lane to face second-placed Sheffield United.
The Yorkshire rivals are separated by just two points but Leeds look better-equipped to go on and win the title.
The Whites have the best attack in the division, with 68 goals scored in 33 games. Their goals-against column isn't bad either, with just 20 conceded. That's second-best behind the remarkably stubborn Burnley, who entered this round of games having shipped only nine goals.
Leeds have lost just twice on the road, with a total of 36 goals in their 16 games (24 for, 12 against). At Bramall Lane, the Blades have scored 24 and conceded only 10 in 16 games.
Leeds won the reverse game at Elland Road 2-0, securing victory with Mateo Joseph's goal in the 90th minute.
They have won four of the last five matches against the Blades and can bag three vital points in what promises to be a tense and low-scoring affair.
Longshot of the Day
Paulo Dybala to score first for Roma vs Monza – 9/2
Claudio Ranieri has managed to get Roma's season on track, with the men from the Italian capital now on a run of nine unbeaten games in Serie A, enough to get them inside the top half of the table in ninth place.
They need to keep adding wins if they are going to push for a European spot and will fancy their chances of beating bottom-of-the-table Monza at the Stadio Olimpico.
Paulo Dybala has netted three goals in two Serie A appearances against Monza, including the opener when the teams met there in the 2022-23 campaign.
The Argentinian ace hit a brace in the 3-2 Europa League playoff win over Porto last time out, taking his tally to eight for the season. He could be the scourge of Monza again.
