Friday night sees Paul Robinson focus on the Championship, Ligue One and La Liga, and the Daily Acca comes in at 13/2. Here are his selections:

- Back Over 2.5 Goals in Preston v Derby @ 20/23
- Back Lille @ 20/23
- Back BTTS in Huesca v Real Valladolid @ 11/10

The Acca pays approximately 13/2

Plenty of goals at Deepdale

Bet 1: Back Over 2.5 Goals in Preston v Derby @ 20/23 - KO 19:45 GMT

The hosts are back in the groove following consecutive away wins at QPR and Stoke, and while the gap to the Play-offs is 10 points, a strong end to the campaign could still see them make it.

Derby are the team who currently occupy sixth place, and they come into the game on the back of three successes - albeit two were in cup competitions.

It's all about goals at Deepdale this evening for me, and this selection would have landed in three of Preston's last five outings - and three of their last five at home.

Frank Lampard's visitors haven't been short of goals themselves this season, and four of their last six on the road have had at least three.

Lille to continue their winning run

Bet 2: Back Lille @ 20/23 - KO 19:45 GMT

Lille continue to flourish in France as they come into the fixture on the back of five straight wins in all competitions. They won at Marseille last time out, and they are three points clear of the third placed, Lyon.

Opponents, Nice, are on an unbeaten run of their own as they have gone four matches without a loss - two wins and two draws - and in Ligue One it's just one defeat in 12.

This won't be a straightforward task for the hosts given how hard Patrick Viera's side have been to beat, but they are in such good form that their odds are just too attractive to refuse.

Goals to rain in Spain

Bet 3: Back BTTS in Huesca v Real Valladolid @ 11/10 - KO 20:00 GMT

This La Liga clash features two sides who were promoted to the top flight last season, and I believe that there will be goals at both ends.

Huesca are rock bottom - six points behind Villarreal in 19th and 11 points adrift of safety. They are pretty much down, but they will carry on fighting, and they will certainly have identified this as a must win.

Valladolid are in 13th, but they are only four points ahead of the bottom three, so they are far from safe. A huge victory over Celta Vigo last Sunday really helped their cause though, and that 2-1 scoreline was their third game out of their last four to see BTTS backers collect.

It's now or never for the hosts, so they have to go all out for the three points. That will of course leave them vulnerable at the back and they are yet to keep a home clean sheet this season.
