Bet of the Day

Sheffield United to win to nil @ 13/8

Sheffield United are leading the way at the head of the Championship and they can enhance their promotion claims with a routine win over struggling Hull City on Friday. 

The Blades have been too sharp for the Tigers in recent seasons and are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with the East Yorkshire outfit.

Six of those games have resulted in victories for the Bramall Lane side and on six occasions they have kept a clean sheet. One of those came in a 2-0 win over Hull earlier on in this campaign and they look a solid bet to extend that sequence this week.

Hull were beaten 2-1 by QPR on Tuesday and the fast turnaround suggests another night of misery for the tame Tigers, who have won just three of their last 21 matches in all competitions.

Special of the Day

Mohammed Amoura to score two or more goals @ 11/2

Wolfsburg have scored eight goals across their last two matches and there was a lot to like despite their 3-2 loss at Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich last week.

Ralph Hassenhuttl's side didn't lie down against the Bavarian giants and kept fighting until the end at the Allianz Arena, where livewire forward Mohammed Amoura bagged his second goal of the game in the 88th minute.

Previously to that they put five goals past Borussia Monchengladbach and the goals could flow when they host struggling Holstein Kiel on Friday.

The visitors are winless in eight league matches on the road this term, shipping 21 goals along the way. That should be good news for Amoura who has shown a deadly instinct this season when on loan from Union St-Gilloise.

Amoura has scored eight goals in 15 appearances for Wolfsburg and he should backed to follow up his brace at Bayern with another couple of goals this Friday.

Longshot of the Day

Cagliari to win & both teams to score @ 13/2

Cagliari snapped a five-match losing streak with a 2-1 win at Monza at the start of this month and they followed it with an impressive 1-1 draw at Milan and 4-1 home win over Lecce.

Confidence is bubbling in the Cagliari ranks and they look a good bet to continue their revival with a victory at toiling Torino.

They have clawed their way away from the danger zone in Serie A and they can leapfrog hosts Torino with a win on Friday to lift themselves further up the standings.

The home side are on the slide following four straight draws and they may find their rejuvenated visitors too hot to handle.

However, there is scope to expect both teams to score as that has been the outcome in three of the Turin side's last four matches.
