This is a tie that could go either way. Only goal difference separated them in the final table so a tight two-legged semi-final looks likely. Diriangen will be all-out to get a good lead to take to Esteli for the second leg. Their home form is the best in the league with eight wins out of ten and just four goals conceded. They earned four points from their two games against Esteli so will approach this game with a lot of confidence. Go for a home win here.

There was no doubting Frimpong's offence and no arguing with his dismissal. Morelos got in behind him and the young man panicked. So, too, did Rangers. James Tavernier, the usual penalty taker, ceded responsibility to Morelos - what a enormous talking point that will be - and Morelos botched it. His shot was unconvincing, Forster saving to his right. The goalkeeper was off his line - most of them are in such situations - and that will only add to the torment Rangers are going to experience now.

I think, the visitors have a chance to make a positive result in this game. Coventry U23 is not very good team in the last matches. Nevertheless, they have the potential to provide a strong resistance. I expect, this will be tense match. The visitors lost on the previous match and do not wish to make the same mistake this time as well.

Arsenal have drawn four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since February 2009 (five in a row).

Both teams scored in six of Southend's last eight league matches and three of Bolton’s last five league matches. They both sit at the bottom of the table in terms of the League One’s best defences and although neither are particularly prolific in front of goal, the strength of the hosts on home soil and the fact Southend perform better on the road suggests that backing both teams to score is the way to go.
in this match I do not expect goals,Paderborn is on last place on the table and they are desperate to get some win but still they lost last 4 at home so their first goal should be not to lose today and that is going to be very hard since Hoffenheim is great on the road and also kramaric their top scorer is going to play but still I don't think Hoffenheim could score more than one or maybe two goals and hopefully at the end of the game it will be under 2,5 or at least under 3.5 goals
