Best Football Betting Tips Today: Man City v PSG
An exciting 2-1 away win in the first leg puts Man City in firm control of this Champions League semi final.
They are a quote of 4/6 odds on to win the second leg back at home as well.
Of their three previous home legs in UEFA semi finals, Man City have won one.
Manchester City are on a five-match winning streak at home in the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League.
They are undefeated in their last 13 home European matches, winning all but one.
They hold a W5 D3 L3 record against French opposition and City are also on a three match winning streak against French teams.
Of their eleven games played in this season’s Champions League, PSG have won six of them.
In the previous round, they scored a fantastic aggregate win over reigning champions Bayern Munich.
They will want a little more impact from Kylian Mbappe and Neymar than they got out of their superstars in the first leg.
The away win for PSG is at a quote of 7/2
PSG do still pose a big threat and have won 10 of their last 17 away games in Europe.
It’s back to back road wins for them in England as well. We don’t think that they pull one out in midweek however.
City can control this.
Man City to win at 4/6

Football Betting Picks Today: Luton v Rotherham
It is catch-up time in midweek in the Championship and Luton are 19/10 to get the home win in this one.
They have gone undefeated in their last five league games, winning three of those.
The Hatters are in mid-table and don’t have anything at stake in what is their penultimate game of the season.
In their last three home games, they have taken a W1 D2 record and look likely to avoid defeat.
But they are facing a desperate Rotherham side.
However, the Millers are badly out of form as they have earned just one point in their last six league games.
A win would actually pull them out of the drop zone on goal difference at the expense of Derby.
It’s so tight at the bottom this is really an opportunity that the visitors can’t afford to miss.
Rotherham are a quote of 13/10 for the victory.
However, they have lost their last two away games and haven’t scored in their last three road fixtures.
Luton to win at 19/10

Football Betting Tips for Today: Blackpool v Doncaster
Blackpool are the 4/7 odds-on favourites for a home win in today’s football betting for League One.
A point in this one would mathematically seal the deal for them in terms of a play off place.
They are still in with a chance of taking third place in the table, so they have plenty to play for.
Blackpool have won their last two league fixtures away at Sunderland and Nottingham.
They boast the joint-best defensive record in the league as well.
So we can see them getting the points in this one.
Their opponents Doncaster are in mid-table with nothing to play for.
Doncaster have lost three of their last six fixtures (W2 D1).
The visitors are a quote of 9/2 to pick up the three away points on offer.
There is a little bit of road form there from them, as they have won two of their last three away from home (D1).
But in a quick turnaround of fixtures, we have to think that Blackpool are just going to be the more motivated of the two.
Blackpool to win at 4/7

Online Betting Football Tip: Charlton v Lincoln
Next for today’s football betting tips we are looking at Charlton v Lincoln.
The Addicks are given a quote of 23/20 for the home win in this fixture.
It has been a W2 D3 L1 record in their last six league fixtures.
A win here would leave Charlton one point outside of the play off places ahead of their final game of the season.
So the incentive is certainly there for them.
Charlton have lost only one fixture since the start of March so have been playing well.
They have taken one win in their last five at The Valley however (D3 L1).
Lincoln have already secured a play off place. A win in midweek would put them up into third place in the table.
Lincoln are a quote of 12/5 to get the road win in football betting.
There has also been great form from the Imps recently with four wins in their last six (D1 L1).
They have only dropped two points in their last four away fixtures as well. They drew at second-place Peterborough on the weekend.
The visitors may well be able to hold their own.

Online Betting Football Tip: Shrewsbury v Ipswich
We are staying in League One for football betting tips today as we feature Shrewsbusry v Ipswich.
Neither of these are carrying too much form.
Shrewsbury are 7/5 underdogs for this fixture.
They have lost five of their last six league fixtures (W1) and have suffered four straight home league defeats.
At this point they are just playing the season out as they are safe from relegation.
Ipswich are in the same boat as they are too far away from the play offs.
They are just playing to secure a top-ten finish and nothing more.
There has been one win for the Tractor Boys in their last six games.
That long victory happened at the already-relegated Swindon on the weekend.
Ipswich are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the division and are 2/1 to get the win.
With nothing to play for and little form, we can’t look past the draw.
Draw at 23/10
