Tonight’s focus takes us to Salzburg first, where AC Milan arrive still looking for their first Europa League goal of the season after losing 2-0 at home to Benfica on the opening night. Union Saint-Gilloise host Real Sociedad at the same time, and Juventus close the evening in Vigo on the back of a 5-0 win against NEC Nijmegen.

Results

One from two on Wednesday, with QPR three goals up on Derby by half-time at Loftus Road.

• QPR v Derby: FH Over 1.5 at 2.60 (+6.37%) won

• Portsmouth v Sheffield United: FH Over 1.5 at 2.84 (+10.42%) lost

Portsmouth went in 1-0 up at Fratton Park, and the other four goals in their 3-2 win all came after the break. Our last six previews have returned nine winners from 16 positions, with three more returning the stake and four losing. That comes to a profit of 2.31% of banked profit from just 6.25% staked.

FC Salzburg v AC Milan (5:45pm UK)

The market makes Milan 1.92 favourites in Austria, with the draw at 3.75 and Salzburg out at 2.91, which is a fair amount of faith in a side still to score in the competition. Salzburg opened their campaign with a 1-0 win away to Levski Sofia, and they have been hard to break down in Europe this season, keeping four clean sheets in five games and conceding nothing in either of their two at home. They have scored nine in those five. Full-time xG comes in at 1.55 for Salzburg against 1.26 for Milan, a 2.81 combined total.
