Bets to be placed by 7.30 on Friday

Leeds to beat Newcastle

Hertha Berlin to beat Greuther Furth

Sassuolo to beat Torino

Dundalk to beat Finn Harps

Leeds should be able to get the better of a poor Newcastle side who they defeated at home and away last season. Hertha Berlin have had a tricky start to the campaign, playing Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, and can get compensation against Greuther Furth. Sassuolo have only been beaten by Roma this term and the FAI Cup will be Dundalk's focus after a poor league showing.

Bet of the day

Hertha Berlin to beat Greuther Furth 7.30pm Friday

Hertha Berlin have had a difficult first four games, facing Bayern Munich and high-flying Wolfsburg. Their sights are lowered against newly promoted Greuther Furth, who have scored just twice so far this season. Hertha should get the win.

Card bet of the day

Newcastle v Leeds

Luke Ayling, who picked up seven cards last season, looks likely to be asked to fill in at centre-half against Newcastle. Out of position and faced with the possibility of Allan Saint-Maximin running at him, the 30-year-old could end up in the book.

Best bet
Luke Ayling to be carded

Stat of the day
