Portugal to beat North Macedonia

Portugal were expected to get past Turkey and then play Italy in a showdown for a place at the World Cup finals. Portugal did deservedly get past the Crescent Stars but Italy surprisingly lost late on to North Macedonia in Palermo despite dominating the game from the first minute. It means Portugal have a much greater chance of getting through and should have the quality up front to put the chances away which Italy couldn’t.

Leyton Orient to beat Oldham 

Richie Wellens has settled into life at Leyton Orient very well. The O’s have won three on the bounce, covering a -1 handicap in all of those. There has always been quality at the top of the pitch for Orient but Kenny Jackett had a more defensive style which didn’t suit those players like Aaron Drinan and Ruel Sotiriou but both are now reaping the rewards of playing under an attack minded manager in Wellens. They should have enough to beat an Oldham side in terrible form having lost six in a row and likely to be relegated.

Mansfield to beat Hartlepool

Mansfield have been superb since November after a terrible start to the season. The Stags have won 16 of their last 22 league games and having strengthened in the January transfer window they managed to keep up the momentum. They have promotion aspirations whereas Hartlepool are marooned in mid-table and may struggle for motivation.

Carlisle to beat Rochdale

Paul Simpson has had an incredible impact at Carlisle since coming to the club. The Cumbrians have won six of their last seven and impressively beat in-form Bristol Rovers at the weekend. They look a huge price at nearly 3/1 to go to an out of form Rochdale and pick up all three points. The Dale's are winless in six, losing four of those and their lack of squad depth is really starting to bite now after a promising first few months of the season.
