Bet of the day

Senegal to beat Burkina Faso
Sky Sports Premier League & BBC3, 7pm Wednesday

Senegal were comfortable 3-1 winners over Equatorial Guinea in their quarter-final and should have too much for a Burkina Faso side who haven't scored more than once in any of their five games in the competition.

Goalscorer bet of the day

Celtic v Rangers
Sky Sports Main Event, 7.45pm

Celtic winger Jota has caused teams all sorts of issues this season and has averaged the second-most shots per 90 minutes in this side. Team news will be all important but, providing he starts, he looks too big to get on the scoresheet at 13-5 with Paddy Power.

Best bet
Jota to score at anytime

Stat of the day

Huddersfield v Derby
7.45pm Wednesday

Derby have won just two of their 14 away games in the Championship
