Friday's Football Betting Tips
Tomorrow's football fixture list has got a tough act to follow after two World Cup semi-finals have served up entertainment across the last couple of days. There are plenty of games heading our way, though, with Europa League qualifying taking centre stage.
Derry City's home match up against CSKA Sofia is one of the standouts; they produced a five-goal thriller in the first leg, with Derry now having to try and overturn a 3-2 deficit. Cluj vs Dynamo Kyiv and Aluminji vs Sheriff, meanwhile, remain firmly in the balance having both ended goalless last time out.
Qarabag should ease through as they visit Vestri, courtesy of having won 3-0 when they held home advantage. Ferencvaros vs Vojvodina and Zilina vs Hajduk Split complete the day.
Cluj vs Dynamo Kyiv: Matvii Ponomarenko to score anytime
- Dynamo Kyiv's 20-year-old striker Matvii Ponomarkenko has scored three goals in his last three appearances.
- 2025/26 was Ponomarkenko's breakout season; he netted eight goals in six games for the youth side, before hitting 13 in 15 league games for the first team.
Derry City vs CSKA Sofia: Over 2.5 goals
- Derry City have gone over 2.5 goals in three of their last five matches, including in their last two, whilst CSKA have gone north of the 2.5 line in each of their past five outings.
- The first leg of this match up produced a staggering five goals, with CSKA Sofia edging the match 3-2.

Total Goals (Over / Under)
This type of bet involves predicting how many goals will be scored in a game. To avoid a “push”, Over / Under bets often refer to an imaginary “half-goal”. Example:
