There might not be a tonne of football on Thursday, but we've managed to pick out a tasty accumulator for the day's action. Find out what we're backing below.
Go to William Hill Thursday's games page and back the following fourfold bet which would return £104.70 for a £10 stake if all correct (individual odds in brackets):
Cape Verde Islands v DR Congo - Under 2.5 goals (8/15)
Napoli v Udinese - Napoli -1 (20/21)
Espanyol v Sevilla - Both teams to score (10/11)
HK Kopavogur v Haukur – Home win (5/6)
William Hill are offering competitive odds for all four selections, the reasoning for which is as follows:
Cape Verde Islands v DR Congo - Under 2.5 goals
The African Cup of Nations has been known for it's lack of goals over recent years and although there seems to be more attacking play involved in this year's competition, neither this Cape Verde Islands out or the DR Congo team seem to possess much of a threat in front of the opposition's goal.
Only Sporting Lisbon striker Heldon has managed more than 10 international goals for Cape Verde and only Dieumerci Mbokani of Dynamo Kiev has managed more than 10 for DR Congo. They're both on 12 goals, but we can't see them adding to their respective tallies in this match as both teams will adopt a cautious approach.
Napoli v Udinese - Napoli -1
Napoli have become one of Serie A's more dominant forces again in recent years and although they're not really in the title race despite only being in 3rd place, Giazzurri will feel they are more than capable of retaining the Coppa Itallia after winning the trophy for the fifth time in their history last season.
To book their place in the semi-finals, first Rafa Benitez's men must overcome Udinese, but considering Zebrette's recent form with no wins in their last five, we don't think that will be much of the problem. The home advantage will make a difference and the likes of Gonzalo Higuain and Jose Callejon will fancy adding to their goal tallies.
Espanyol v Sevilla - Both teams to score
Two sides that favour an attacking style of play plus the supposedly stronger team being away from home creates the perfect mix for a both teams to score bet. Both of these teams are in the top half of the goals scored table in La Liga and they both have plenty of goalscoring talent in their respective squads.
On their home patch, Espanyol can look at players such as Sergio Garcia and former Manchester City man Felipe Caiceido to cause Unai Emery's team plenty of problems but at the opposite end of the pitch it's unlikely that they'll be able to deal with a frontline that includes Kevin Gameiro and the red-hot Carlos Bacca, who's scored 12 goals already this term.
HK Kopavogur v Haukur – Home win
Icelandic football may not be the most glamorous in the world but the cup competition there is an exciting one as it is played in a group stage format before the beginning of the league season and one team from the second tier can book their place in the 'B' section final by winning this home game this evening.
Kopavogur, who finished high in second tier last season and have the home advantage in this clash, beat Selffos 4-1 in the opening game of the competition this weekend and although Haukur, who drew 1-1 with Eigir may put up more of a fight, this new look HK side should take the victory at Fagrilundur.
