Today's best football bets

Bets to be placed by 7.45pm

Fulham v Wolves both teams to score

Watford to beat Reading

Lille to beat Metz

Elche or draw double chance v Huesca

Draws are not enough for Fulham, who will look to attack against Wolves in the belief that this is a great chance for maximum points, but the visitors are at their best on the counter.

Watford have won nine of their last ten home games and surprise Ligue 1 pacesetters Lille are showing no sign of relenting in their surprise title bid.

Huesca have won only four matches all season and make little appeal at the odds available to see off relegation rivals Elche. The four-fould pays over 10-1 with Hills.
