Bet of the day

Inter Milan to win to nil v Lazio @ 19/10

Inter Milan clinched the Serie A title with a 2-0 home win over Parma last week and they can add the Coppa Italia trophy by beating Lazio in the final on Wednesday.

Inter beat the Roman side 3-0 away on Saturday to go 15 points clear at the top. And while the underdogs have some reinforcements coming back for this game, it’s not likely to be enough against the rampant champions.

The Nerazzurri have now won four of the teams’ last five meetings without conceding and another win to nil is worth backing.

Lazio needed penalties to get through both their quarter-final against Bologna and semi-final against Atalanta. While Inter have made smooth progress as they bid to win the cup for the third time in five years.

Man City v Crystal Palace

• Man City-Man City double result
• Over 2.5 goals
• Omar Marmoush first goalscorer

Bet Builder pays 33/4

Manchester City are on the back foot in the Premier League title race again after Arsenal’s controversial late winner against West Ham on Sunday, but they can stay in the hunt with a home win over Crystal Palace.

The game comes at a tough time, with City boss Pep Guardiola also planning for Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea. 

But 14th-placed Palace are now safe from relegation and have nothing in particular to play for in their final three league games, with their main focus now on the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano.

City should be keen to wrap the points up as quickly as possible, so take them to lead at half-time and full-time. 

While the Eagles have lost their last two league away games at Liverpool and Bournemouth 3-1 and 3-0 respectively, so over 2.5 goals appeals.

Omar Marmoush netted City’s third goal against Brentford on Saturday as a substitute. But his manager suggested he may rotate his side a little for this match, and the Egyptian striker is a leading candidate to score first if he gets his chance.

Acca

• Hearts to beat Falkirk
• Rangers to beat Hibernian
• Villarreal to beat Sevilla
• Strasbourg to beat Brest

Acca pays @ 17/2

Wednesday’s acca contains matches from three nations, starting with two matches in the Scottish Premiership.

Hearts are two games away from winning their first title since 1960 and they can take another step towards that goal with a home victory over Falkirk.

The Jambos face title rivals Celtic in their final match on Saturday and a 15th win in an unbeaten home campaign would send them to Glasgow knowing a draw would be enough to stay ahead, even if the Bhoys win at Motherwell on Wednesday.

Rangers have blown their title chances with three successive losses, but they can restore some pride at home to Hibernian. 

The Gers have had three wins and a draw against Hibs this season and the Edinburgh side haven’t scored in any of the four games.

In Spain, third-placed Villarreal should end Sevilla’s recent run of improved form which has seen them climb to 13th.
