Underdogs to excel in playoff clash

Sweden wasn't quite as kind to us this time around, as Hacken drew 1-1 with AIK last night,leaving us a goal short. The frustrating thing is that the scoreline was 1-1 in the 56th minute. What's Swedish for "it's the hope that kills you?"
Anyway, we'll stay in Scandinavia, and take in a Danish promotion/relegation clash between Superliga strugglers Silkeborg and high-flying Esbjerg.
Esbjerg went down last season, but are making a decent fist of winning promotion at the first attempt. They finished second in the First Division, and only lost one of their last ten matches of the campaign.
Silkeborg won their final game of the first playoff section, but that was against the only team in their Superliga playoff group with a worse record than them, and they have only won one of their last six games. They finished the Superliga regular season with a run of just one victory in ten.
Esbjerg have the momentum, and have won four of their last five away games, so they certainly won't be overawed here. Silkeborg's price of 2.16 to win the first leg seems largely based on their Superliga status rather than current form, so I'll back the visitors to pick up a result on the Double Chance market.
RECOMMENDED BETS
Back Draw or Away in the Double Chance market at 1.80

Napoli v PSG: Will French champions fail another stern test?

By
Napoli  3.05  v PSG  2.40 ; The Draw  3.85 Tuesday 6 November, 20:00 Live on BT Sport 3 PSG dare not lose Big spending PSG are in danger of missing out on making the knockout stages of the Champions League, with the French title holders currently third in the highly competitive  Group C . PSG twice had to fight back from being behind to earn a 2-2 draw at home to  Napoli . It leaves Thomas Tuchel's team in a position where they dare not lose this reverse fixture. They are unbeaten in nine (W8 D1), but have struggled on both occasions that they've stepped up in class in the  Champions League . As well as dropping points at home to Napoli, the Parisians lost in their sole away match to Liverpool. After being held to a disappointing draw to Red Star in their opening Champions League match, Napoli have bounced back in fine fashion, beating Liverpool and then coming very close to defeating PSG, before conceding a 90th minute equaliser. They ...
