talkSPORT betting tips – Best football bets and expert advice on Friday 24 April

We are heading towards crunch time across all of Europe’s top leagues, with title, promotion and relegation issues being settled.

Friday’s games will have all sorts of connotations, not least at the Stadium of Light where relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest can drag themselves further out of trouble if they win at Sunderland.

Millwall can enhance their hopes of joining Coventry in next season’s Premier League, while some of the biggest teams on the continent will be battling it out for key points.

Friday’s betting tips

Bet of the day – Millwall to beat Leicester @ 3/4 

Leicester suffered a second consecutive relegation on Tuesday when they fell into League One and they are unlikely to bounce back against promotion-chasing Millwall.

The Lions have won six of their last eight away games in the Championship and no team has won more on their travels in the second tier this season.

Alex Neil’s side have collected 40 points in 22 away games and cannot afford to let up in their quest to join Coventry in next season’s Premier League, so the Londoners can claim a 12th league win on the road this term.

Bet Builder – Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest – Over 2.5 goals, under 10.5 corners & Elliot Anderson to be booked @ 21/2

Nottingham Forest will move eight points above the Premier League relegation zone with a win at Sunderland and they can be expected to be positive on their trip to the Stadium of Light.

There have been more than two goals scored in six of Forest’s last seven away games, so that looks a good place to start a Bet Builder, but it would be a surprise if the corner count got into double figures as there have been an average of just 8.31 in Sunderland’s home games, with the Black Cats contributing just 3.69 per match on their own patch.

So under 10.5 corners looks the way to go and the third element should be to back Newcastle old boy Elliot Anderson to pick up a 10th booking of the season, especially as he committed multiple fouls in his last three league games against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Burnley.

Acca

• RB Leipzig to beat Real Betis
• Napoli to beat Cremonese
• Lens to beat Brest
• Real Madrid to beat Real Betis
  Pays 4/1

A game from each of continental Europe’s top leagues can be combined for an acca, which will pay out at 4/1 if successful.

RB Leipzig have won their last four games in the German Bundesliga and should get the better of Union Berlin, who have lost five of their last seven.

Napoli have lost just one home league game in Italy’s Serie A this term, winning 11 of 16 league games on their own patch and they should have far too much for relegation-threatened Cremonese, who have lost six of their last eight.

Lens are hoping to keep Paris Saint-Germain in their sights in the French Ligue 1 title race and, after scoring 12 goals in their last four games, they could have a field day against Brest, who have taken just one point from their last four outings.

And then in Spain, Real Madrid can build upon their 2-1 win over Alaves when they head to Real Betis, who have won just one of their last seven home matches.
