Partick and St Mirren meet at Firhill in the first-leg of the Scottish Premiership playoff final. Thistle will be hoping to gain promotion from the second tier, while the Buddies will be out to hang onto the top-flight status on a Thursday night which also sees action from around Europe.We have a trio of selections which make up our best bets of the day.DEPOSIT £10 AND GET 3 X 200% BET BOOSTS WITH talkSPORT BETThursday football tipsBet of the DaySt Mirren draw no bet @ 9/10 Thursday night’s Scottish Premiership playoff final first-leg between Partick and St Mirren is expected to be a closely-fought contest, but the extra class of the Buddies may tell.It’s been a dramatic fall for the Paisley side, who lifted the Scottish League Cup trophy earlier this season, but have seen manager Stephen Robinson leave for Aberdeen as they have tumbled down the Scottish Premiership table.St Mirren ended the regular season campaign with a 2-0 win at Aberdeen and 1-1 draw with Dundee United and the Buddies hit 26 efforts on goal against two decent top-flight teams.Partick were clearly the second-best side in the Championship this term, but that wasn’t a strong division outside of champions St Johnstone and Mark Wilson’s men were fairly fortunate to beat Dunfermline in the playoff semi-finals.Thistle failed to win any of their last three regular season games in the second-tier, so it’s not as if the Maryhill men are in rampant form and ready to rip into Premiership opposition.At 9/10, St Mirren are fancied on the draw no bet market.Special of the DayWolfsburg to beat Paderborn & over 2.5 goals bet builder @ 6/4 Paderborn snatched a Bundesliga relegation playoff spot from Hannover on the final day of the second-tier season and the prize is a clash with Wolfsburg.It has been a steady decline over the last few seasons for the Wolves, who dropped to 16th in the Bundesliga standings this season, but Dieter Hecking’s men can get out of trouble.Wolfsburg hit 19 shots and created an expected goals figure of 3.50 in a 3-1 final day win at St Pauli and prior to that success the Wolves only went down 1-0 to Bayern Munich. That form is a level above what Paderborn can offer and Ralf Kettemann’s men conceded 17 goals in their final six German second-tier games.A Wolfsburg win and over 2.5 goals can be backed at 31/20 in an attractive bet builder.Longshot of the DayAjax to beat Groningen, Utrecht to beat Heerenveen & Wolfsburg to beat Paderborn treble @ 24/5 Ajax are a long way from where they want to be, but the Amsterdam giants should see off Groningen in the Conference League playoffs.De Godenzonen lost only two of their final ten Eredivisie home games and Groningen have won just four of their last 12 on the road.Utrecht ended the regular season with three straight victories, including a 2-1 success over Ajax and Utreg can beat Heerenveen in the Conference League playoff semi-finals.The visitors scored only four goals in their final five games of the Eredivisie regular season and they lack the required firepower.Complete a 24/5 treble by playing Wolfsburg to beat Paderborn. Ralf Kettemann’s men only sneaked into the playoffs on the final day and they finished eight points adfrit of Bundesliga Two champions Schalke. Wolfsburg are a better team than their Bundesliga struggles suggest and should have too much class.DEPOSIT £10 AND GET 3 X 200% BET BOOSTS WITH talkSPORT BET Odds correct at time of publish and subject to change18+ New Customers.
