15/1 Friday night five-fold

The best from across Europe

Football fixtures are becoming thin on the ground as we race towards the conclusion on the season. Major divisions in Europe will be downing tools this weekend, with the Premier League and Scottish Premiership wrapped up on Sunday.

There’s enough from across the continent to give accumulator backers a healthy interest on Friday however, and our football guys have trawled through the best of them to return with our punchy five-fold, priced at 15/1. Prices and returns are correct at the time of going to publish – let’s run over the main contenders…..

Falkirk beat Dundee United

Starting with the race for promotion to the Scottish Premiership, and the winner of this match will play second-bottom of the top-tier in another play-off. The bottom two places in the top division will be settled on Saturday, Hamilton and Inverness battling to avoid 12^th. Falkirk and Dundee United couldn’t be separated at Tannadice in midweek, ending 2-2 on Wednesday. There’s plenty of life left in this one, but you’ve got to favour the home side, who finished higher in the league, and have played a game less than their opponents. The Bairns at 23/20 looks very generous indeed.

Espanyol beat Granada

It doesn’t take too much persuading to oppose Granda at the minute. The La Liga whipping boys sit rock-bottom of the division, having won just four matches all season. Things haven’t improved too much since Tony Adams took charge, certainly not in terms of results, with Nazaries losing each of their last seven. Espanyol are no great shakes themselves, but are battling for a top-eight finish. Take the away win at a useful 4/5.
