Oldham Athletic and Southend United each have an opportunity to return to the EFL as they meet at Wembley in the National League play-off final.
In my youth, the Latics were competing in major cup semi-finals and playing in the Premier League, so seeing their fall to non-league football has been disheartening.
Oldham can end a two-year absence with victory today, but Southend is equally eager to reclaim their EFL status after dropping from League One to the National League over the past five years.
Oldham Athletic vs Southend United top betting tips
This is a challenging match to predict, but BoyleSports lists Oldham as 3/4 favorites, with Southend at 20/21 in the same market.
The odds reflect Southend’s last-minute entry into the play-offs in seventh position, while Oldham finished two places and five points ahead.
Southend required extra time to advance past the quarter-final and only beat Forest Green on penalties in the semis, whereas Oldham secured 3-0 and 4-0 victories.
The Latics are justified favorites, with BoyleSports offering 7/5 odds for them to win in 90 minutes.
Veteran striker Joe Garner has scored four times in his last three games for Oldham, making him a value pick at 3/1 for an anytime goal at SkyBet.
Willem II v Telstar
The Dutch promotion/relegation play-offs conclude today, with Willem II and Telstar evenly matched after a 2-2 draw in the first leg.
BoyleSports now favors Willem II at 21/20 to win at home.
Telstar is lamenting a late equalizer conceded midweek and is 21/10 to secure the victory necessary for promotion.
Based on the first leg, this promises to be another open and thrilling contest, prompting a combination of BTTS and over 2.5 goals at 11/10 with BoyleSports.
A half-time draw is appealing at the same odds with the same bookmaker.
Rapid Vienna vs LASK Linz
In Austria, another play-off takes place tonight, with Rapid Vienna needing to recover ground against LASK for a European spot.
LASK gained the upper hand with a 3-1 home win midweek and are 1/5 favorites with most firms for the Conference League spot.
However, BoyleSports lists Rapid as 5/6 favorites for a win on the night, with LASK at 12/5 to defend their two-goal advantage.
Rapid must attack early, making 13/10 odds at BoyleSports for over 3.5 first-half corners attractive.
LASK is likely to play defensively to maintain their lead, so a half-time draw is plausible at 23/20.
