Forfar vs Linlithgow Rose
The original tie was abandoned due to floodlight failure at Station Park a week ago, so the teams will have to give it another try tonight. We will keep our original pick and have added some updated team news here for you. Forfar continued to struggle on the weekend and lost 0-1 at home to Stenhousemuir but there was a slight improvement in performance at least. Linlithgow drew their Scottish Junior Cup game with Irvine Meadow on the weekend and boss Dave McGlynn will make plenty of changes to the his starting eleven tonight from that game. He will have to wait on finalizing his team since there are still a couple of players that might not be able to get time off work to travel with the team. Forfar really need a win to instill som confidence in the squad and we believe they are good enough to do just that.
The original write up from a week ago:
Forfar take on Linlithgow Rose in the Scottish Cup 4th round replay tonight. The two sides drew 3-3 at Prestonfield 10 days ago and the winners of tonight’s clash will face Premiership side Ross County in the next round. Forfar haven’t won in the league in a while and the cup provides a good opportunity to regain some well needed confidence. They were winning 3-1 in the first meeting but somehow conceded two quick goals, despite Linlithgow being down to 10 men. It should be a bit easier at Station Park though and the home side are the favorites here.
Team news: The home side will be without injured duo Michael Dunlop and Bryan Hodge as well as new signing Andy Ryan who is ineligible to play.
Linlithgow Rose can become the first Junior club to reach the 5th round of the Scottish Cup. Surely a big incentive for the visitors but they face several problems ahead of tonight’s replay with players missing both through suspensions and injuries. They have also struggled away from home in the league recently, recording two straight defeats against Newtongrange and Musselburgh. Not the most frightening sounding team names you’ve ever heard of.
Team news: The away side are missing Chris Gray, Ruari MacLennan and Gary Thom through suspension and Roddy MacLennan is out injured.

Newly promoted RB Leipzig are heading to bottom of the table MSV Duisburg tonight in the sixth round of the Frauen Bundesliga. Duisburg are still winless and faced heavy defeat in their last league outing to Eintracht Frankfurt (1-5). The Zebras have already conceded 21 goals this season while only scoring four and will struggle to stay in the division.
They still have to do without Sarah Freutel, Alexandra Emmerling, Jelena Prvulovic and Brooke Denesik, and received another blow as Danish centre back Emilie Henriksen also will miss the game due to illness.
RB Leipzig hope to pick up their second win of the season and were happy to see all their international players come back healthy and raring to go after the break. Elvira Herzog, Michela Croatto, Julia Magerl and Korina Janez all trained with the team this week and look sharp.
We’re rather confident of an away win here.

To say that Ajax’s start to the season has been poor is an understatement. In fact, Ajax are incredibly enough bottom of the Eredivise table after their opening eight games, the worst start ever for the club. It came as little surprise then when head coach Maurice Steijn was relieved of his duties and replaced with Hedwiges Maduro on an interim basis. He did not fare much better in his two games in charge, a 0-2 loss to Brighton followed up by a 2-5 loss at PSV. This led to the club appointing John van’t Schip as their new manger on a two year deal.
van’t Schip has only had a few days to prepare for tonight’s game against struggling Volendam, but just having a permanent manager, let alone a club legend, in place must be seen as a boost. Also, the visitors are the worst away team in league, having lost all their four league outings this season, scoring only four goals in the process while conceding a whopping 12.
This is the perfect rebound spot for Ajax and despite their struggles so far, we believe they will go all out here and win this comfortably.

Chelsea get a welcome break from league football when they welcome Championship side Blackburn Rovers to Stamford Bridge tonight. A place in the Carabao Cup quarter finals is at stake and the Blues aim to go all the way.
Rovers are expected to make some changes to the team that lost 0-1 at home to Swansea at the weekend and Jake Garrett, Adam Wharton, Dilan Markanday and Andrew Moran all could get a start here. Captain Lewis Travis will start but Rovers’ manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will have to do without top scorer Sam Szmodics who is nursing an injury picked up at the weekend.
Chelsea could also give some of the non regular starters a chance to shine, with the likes of Armando Broja and Ian Maatsen. We could also see Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk, who missed the league defeat to Brentford at the weekend, start.
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino said: “We will try to play with our best team. Some players will need to rest because after Saturday’s game we can’t take risks. But, in general, we will try to play our best team.”
We will take his word for it and expect Chelsea to win this rather comfortably.
