Read the full terms and conditions for each offer below.

Harrogate v Blackburn

Blackburn's 1-0 Championship win at Watford on Saturday was a smash-and-grab raid but Rovers should find things easier on their trip to Harrogate, who have lost three of their last four League Two matches. 

Sheffield United v Lincoln

Sheffield United have suffered narrow defeats in their first three Premier League matches and, having reached the FA Cup semi-finals last season, they can claim a welcome win at home to League One Lincoln in the EFL Cup.

PSV v Rangers

Rangers won 1-0 away to PSV in last season's Champions League playoff round and they are worth backing to trouble their Dutch hosts, who haven't kept a clean sheet in their last seven Champions League ties.

Copenhagen v Rakow Czestochowa

Copenhagen claimed a vital 1-0 advantage in the away leg of their Champions League tie with Polish champions Rakow. The Danes should seal progress at home, where they held Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City to draws in last season's group stage.
