Is there an international break on the horizon? Look at the matches we are left with , yesterday and today! Another day which does not really appeal. The Irish Premier Division is too early into the season. I do think Falkirk should beat Cowdenbeath.
7:45pm - Cork City v Galway Utd - 1.39 home
Standout Stats
- No head to heads.
- This is 5th v 8th in the Irish Premier League.
Cork City
- The season is only 3 matches old Draw Win Draw
Galway
- Loss, Loss, Win for Galway
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Little or nothing to work with here at all in the start of the new Irish Premier League season. I suspect Galway are newly promoted as there are no head to heads. A watching brief therefore although I would be interested if Galway score first.

7:45pm - Cowdenbeath v Falkirk - 1.62 away
Standout Stats
- Falkirk are unbeaten in the last 6 matches.
- This is 9th v 5th in the Scottish Championship
Cowdenbeath
- Failed to score in their last 5 home matches.
- No win in 7 home matches.
- Failed to score in 6 of their last 8 matches.
- Since November at home, they have not scored more than 1 goal at home.
- Only 1 0-0 at home
Falkirk
- No defeat in 7 away matches
- Scored in their last 7 away and conceded in their last 4 away
- Only 2 defeats in 15 matches, came v Raith and Hearts
- 3-1-3-3-3-2-3 scored in recent away matches.
- Only 1 0-0 away
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- This looks fairly straightforward. With Falkirk scoring 2+ goals with regularity away from home, and Cowdenbeath scoring at most 1 goal , the away side must be favoured.
- I would lay Cowdenbeath if they score first.

7:45pm - Sheff Utd v Scunthorpe - 1.82 home
Standout Stats
- 1-1 the last time these 2 met.
- This is 5th v 17th in the League One
Sheffield United
- Scored in their last 11 matches and last 8 at home
- All defeats at home v 10th and higher
- Scored and conceded in their last 10 matches.
- 2 consecutive home losses 1-2.
- Only 2 clean sheets in 21 matches,
- No 0-0
- 9 0-0's at halftime at home
- Scored 19 of their 25 goals in the 2nd half at home.
Scunthorpe
- No win in 7 matches and in 5 away
- Conceded in their last 12 away matches.
- Against top 13 , Scunthorpe have conceded in all aways, and conceded 2+ goals in 7 matches.
- Conceded 2+ goals in their last 4 away matches
- No 0-0
- 5 0-0's at halftime away
- 23 of 32 goals conceded in the 2nd half away
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- This could be a 2nd half match. Do not be surprised with a 0-0 at halftime.
- Sheffield United could concede again today but will be keen to avoid another 1-2 defeat. They have a better time of it against lower half sides so if both teams to score, I don't expect Sheffield United to lose.
- Scunthorpe could reasonably concede 2 today so you could lay them if they score first.

8pm - Longford v Bray - 1.67 home
Standout Stats
- These 2 I think are newcomers to the Irish Premier Division as their last 2 head to heads were play offs.
- Longford have 2 losses and a 2-2 draw.
- Bray have lost all 3 without scoring
Profitable In-Play Opportunities
- Not a match which interests. There is little to work with statistically.Longford have at least scored 2 goals in their last match. If Bray continue to fail to score, then Longford pick themselves.
