Today’s Live Football on TV: What to watch on Thursday, May 23

Thursday brings with it a wide range of football matches ranging from the Under-17 European Championship, Saudi Pro League, Eredivisie European play-off semi-finals, League of Ireland Premier Division and the Scottish Premiership play-off final first leg.

All are available to watch in the UK, so here is a run through of all of today's live football.

There are four U17 Euros clashes on today. Denmark take on Croatia in Group B, with the Danes looking to build on their opening victory over Wales, while Croatia drew with Austria.

The Dragons are up against Austria themselves and will be desperate to get their first points on the board.

In Group A, the Czech Republic take on Ukraine, looking for their second win of the campaign after defeating Cyprus. Ukraine were beaten by Serbia and they will be looking for a response against the current group leaders. Cyprus and Serbia collide later in the day, and both games could see two teams crash out of the tournament on matchday two.

Over in the Saudi Pro League, fifth-place Al-Ittihad (8/11) take on Damac (11/4) in a game that has no consequences with both teams unable to qualify for the AFC Champions League group stage, nor are they in any relegation danger.

The other match sees Al-Riyadh (6/1) host local rivals Al-Nassr (2/7) in a game that will have repercussions. The hosts are currently just two points above the relegation zone and they entertain the team in second place, who have won four of their last five.

The Eredivisie European play-off semi-final first legs take place on this day, too. NEC Nijmegen (11/10) lock horns with Go Ahead Eagles (12/5), while FC Utrecht (5/6) do battle with Sparta Rotterdam. They are all fighting for a spot in next season's Europa Conference League qualifiers due to the Eredivisie receiving extra European spots due to their sixth-place Uefa coefficient ranking. The visitors can be backed at 3/1 to win this game in 90 minutes.

In Ireland, Waterford (1/1) take on Drogheda United (12/5) in the League of Ireland Premier Division, while over in Scotland, Raith Rovers (6/4) entertain Ross County (6/4) in the first leg of the Scottish Premiership promotion/relegation play-off final.
