Many of Europe’s top leagues get their action off early on Friday, with a number of intriguing encounters on offer across the continent. Our tips focus on a south coast battle at the Amex Stadium, a top-of-the-table clash in the Championship and a La Liga meeting could see further misery for a relegation-threatened side. talk SPORT BET - Bet £10 and get £60 in bonus bets - CLAIM HERE* Both teams to score in Brighton v Southampton @ 6/10 Southampton’s loyalty to their progressive approach received plenty of attention after the Saints let a 2-1 lead slip against Liverpool last weekend, but Russell Martin’s men look unlikely to flinch against Brighton on Friday night. Playing out from the back is a risky strategy, but it was individual errors, rather than a flaw in Southampton's system that cost the Saints on Sunday and it’s worth remembering that Martin’s men were mighty close to upsetting one of Europe’s top teams. The trip along the south coast to Brighton looks another tough task for the Saints, but the goals are likely to flow at the Amex. Southampton have seen five of their last eight matches go over 3. 5 goals, while both teams have found the net in nine of Brighton’s last ten matches. The Seagulls look serious European contenders this season and Fabian Hurzeler’s side have scored 20 times in nine Amex matches this term. Backing both teams to score in Friday night’s south coast clash looks the best bet on the card. Tyrese Campbell to score first @ 5/1 The excellent goalscoring form of Tyrese Campbell has fired Sheffield United to the top of the Championship and the 24-year-old can strike again when the Blades host Sunderland. The former Stoke forward has hit five goals in his last six second-tier games and that includes strikes in his previous three matches against Oxford, Coventry and Sheffield Wednesday. Campbell is 5/1 to open the scoring against Sunderland at Bramall Lane on Friday and that looks worth a punt. GET £60 IN BONUSES WITH TALKSPORT BET Mallorca to win to nil @ 15/8 Valencia ended their worst run since the days of Gary Neville’s management by beating Betis 4-2 at Mestalla last weekend and that success was followed by a narrow 1-0 victory over Parla Escuela in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday night. Ruben Baraja’s men have moved off the bottom of the La Liga table, but much more was expected of Los Ches after some heavy investment in the summer and Valencia's away form is a major cause for concern. Los Ches have taken only two points from six Spanish top-flight road trips this term and Baraja’s men have scored just two goals on that poor run. Mallorca have been in far better nick and the measly Pirates have allowed only four goals in seven Estadi Mallorca Son Moix league games this term. Backing Jagoba Arrasate’s men to win to nil on Friday night looks a sound wager. Odds correct at time of publish and subject to change* T&Cs: 18+ New Customers Only. Limited to 1, 000 customers.
