"A Real goal kills the tie, but they're European experts and they'll be in no rush - while Liverpool need a similar start as the first leg just without the defensive collapse that followed."

Kevin Hatchard Says: "Even though Napoli don't need to win this second leg, I still expect them to play their usual attacking game, and we can put together a Bet Builder that takes Napoli's price to win from 1.49 to a more healthy 2.24.

"We can back Napoli to win, Over 1.5 Goals and Osimhen to score. Osimhen has netted in nine of his last 12 games in all competitions, and Frankfurt struggled to deal with his searing pace in the first leg."

Midweek Premier League Tips: Best bets for Brighton v Palace and Southampton v Brentford

Brighton 1.42/5 v Palace 8.515/2, the draw 4.57/2

Alex Boyes Says: "Palace have failed to have a shot on target in their last three games, two of which Zaha has started, but he may well be moved back to left wing here. I think he should have an old fashioned tussle with Joel Veltman, and they both form my Bet Builder selection here.

After all, against no other side has Wilf Zaha scored more goals against in his entire career than Brighton (8).

For Brighton, Alexis Mac Allister had four shots at the weekend, only hitting the target once (and scoring) but he really should have had another. His own personal xG was 0.69, the most of any Brighton player."

Southampton 3.185/40 v Brentford 2.4529/20, the draw 3.259/4

Alex Boyes Says: "Theo Walcott - remember him - has started Southampton's last two Premier League games, and he's managed five shots in a win and a draw. Admittedly, four of those came against 10 man Manchester United, but he proved he is still a threat at this level. He also hit the target twice.

He's 4/7 to have another shot on target here, and forms part of the Bet Builder.

Only two players have committed more fouls in the Premier League this season than Ivan Toney (41), and he averages 1.8 per 90. We can add him to commit 2+ in this one, as well as him also having a shot on target.

Finally, i will add in BTTS as is it such a huge game for bottom club Southampton, and Brentford are looking to bounce back from a first defeat in 13 games."

Blackburn v Reading: Rovers to return to winning ways

Blackburn 1.834/5 v Reading 5.36109/25, the Draw 3.7511/4

Live on Sky Sports

Jack Critchley says: "Blackburn have been exceptionally strong at Ewood Park this season and have kept clean sheets in each of their last five matches here. Having won four of their last five matches by a 1-0 scoreline, they should be able to collect yet another three points on Wednesday evening.

"Reading are highly unlikely to be dragged into a relegation dogfight, yet they are in exceptionally poor form. They've failed to score in any of their last three matches and are yet to find the net on the road in 2023. This could be a long 90 minutes for Paul Ince's side."

Sunderland v Sheffield United: Back 12-1 goalscorer pick

Sunderland 3.3512/5 v Sheff Utd 2.3611/8, the Draw 3.55/2
20:00
Live on Sky Sports

NTT20 Podcast says: "Only Millwall have scored more goals than Blades from set pieces, while Sunderland have faced the fourth most shots. Enter Blades captain John Egan.

"The Irishman has had 14 more shots (46) than any other Championship centre-back this season. His 13 shots on target have yielded two goals already, while his total xG of 4.0 shows he's getting even more chances than his goal return suggests.

"He has registered a shot in over 2/3rds of his games this season, which is what you want for a CB goalscorer bet. The cherry on top is that Egan spent five years as a Sunderland player between 16-21, without ever making a single appearance."
