The reason Leeds have been forced to endure a third season in League One was Millwall’s unwillingness to lie down for them in last season’s play-offs, and they could yet suffer a fourth year in the wilderness because of the Lions.

Victory for Kenny Jackett’s men will take them to within three points of the freefalling Whites, who have a tricky run-in. Leeds are rarely beaten at Elland

Since Stoke’s promotion, many methods have been employed to try to nullify the threat posed by Rory Delap’s bullets into the box.

Dean Windass tried distracting him with some unusual warm-up routines, Lucas Neill attempted to engage in some towel-related mind games and, just the other day, Burnley tried pushing the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch, but still goal after Stoke goal stems from a Delap throw.

Germany and Italy are both available at odds greater than evens to beat Argentina and Cameroon tonight – meaning that a £10 double on the second and third most successful nations in World Cup history with Betfair tonight will return £37.10.

If you’re a bit of a daredevil and think that bet is a little too straight-forward then why not throw an away team into the mix?

Croatia had a poor World Cup qualifying campaign but still managed to pick up twice as many points as Belgium, so odds greater than 6/4 on Slaven Bilic

Whisper it quietly but the mesmerising, seatbeltless Brazil who stylishly strutted their way to five World Cups by brushing aside anyone who dared to challenge them are fast becoming the masters of doing just enough.

Six of the Confederations Cup winners’ last 11 victories have come by a solitary goal, including their semi-final and final victories in that
