LAST night of Euro 2020 qualifiers but I'll be focusing my attention on the important Scottish Championship match between Dunfermline and Dundee United.
Mr F has also previewed the match and I agree it should be a cracking encounter between two sides who both need to win.
Dunfermline vs Dundee United (7.45pm)
Robbie Neilson's United side have a great opportunity to really pile the pressure on league leaders Ross County with a win here tonight. It would take them to within 2 points of the Highlanders and although County have two games in hand there are no easy games in this league. It's an absolute must win, just like the Ross County and Alloa games were.
They have an experienced side and that could pay dividends with each match being a cup final and they have another tough match tonight against the league's form side.
It was a disastrous December and January for the Pars with just one win in eight but since then they have won 5 games on the spin without conceding. The appointment of former St Johnstone No.2 Callum Davidson as first-team coach has certainly helped.
It should be a cracker and one thing to note is Dundee United have owned Dunfermline over the last few seasons. They have suffered defeat just once in the last 19 meetings between the sides which is impressive (13 wins, 5 draws, 1 defeat) and are unbeaten in their last 9 visits to East End Park.
Torn between goals and the Dundee United win but going to side with three points for the Arabs.
A quarter of United's goals have been scored in the last 20 minutes of games and they have conceded a few in that time too. Taking a goal after 69 mins which I think is great value, especially given the Dunfermline have seen a goal in 6 of their last 7 home games in the last 20 minutes.

Fantastic tipping Greg. When you called Dundee for the title I stuck a nifty fifty on it. About 3 weeks ago I nearly flushed the ticket down the kazee! Glad I didn’t. Just need county to feel the pressure now. Also grateful for their striker breaking his arm….very considerate of him😁
Thanks mate – Giving us a run for our money at least. They’ve had a couple of poor results United but proving to be quite profitable
