The bet of the day

Augsburg vs FC Union Berlin – Augsburg winner @ 11/10

Bundesliga debutants Augsburg will look to continue their strong record against Union Berlin when they meet at the WWK Arena (7:30 p.m.).

Seventh-placed Augsburg are pushing for European football and will be keen to beat 13th-placed Union Berlin.

Fuggerstädter have lost just one of their nine games against Union, winning their last three home matches against the capital side.

With that in mind, a home win here at better-than-even odds is our bet of the day.

Special of the day

Plymouth Argyle v Leicester City Bet Builder – Leicester City will win, Patson Daka will score at any time and Bali Mumba will get a card @ 21/2

Moving on to the championship and title contenders, Leicester City will look to extend their lead at the top of the table when they travel to Plymouth Argyle (8:00 p.m.).

The Foxes suffered a 1-0 defeat at Millwall in midweek, but the East Midlands side still boast the best away record in the Championship.

Beating Plymouth 4-0 at home earlier in the season, linking up with a Leicester win here, while also helping Patson Daka score at every turn.

Daka was one of the scorers in that comprehensive win at the King Power Stadium earlier this season and can strike again against the Pilgrims.

While Leicester should have plenty of the ball, Plymouth’s defense is expecting a busy evening.

Bali Mumba should have his work cut out to stop the Foxes on the flank and it would be no surprise to see him add to his 10 yellow cards in the Championship this season.

A Leicester win, with Daka scoring and Mumba carded getting the nod here.

Help of the day

Real Betis vs Celta Viga Bet Builder – Celta Vigo will win, both teams will score and Iago Aspas will score at any time @ 10/1

Let’s finally move on to La Liga action and Celta Vigo will continue their battle to avoid the drop when they travel to Real Betis on Friday evening (8:00 p.m.).

Celta are fighting for their top division status and have much more to play for than a Betis team who sit in eighth place and arguably have too much ground to make up for the European qualifying places.

Visitors Benito Villamarin have a good record against Betis recently, having gone unbeaten in their last five meetings against them.

Celta have won and both teams have scored in their last two meetings and this trend could well continue on Friday evening.

Scoring four goals in his last five starts against Betis, also count on Iago Aspas to get on the scoresheet for Los Celestes.
