While the world's best strut their stuff in Qatar we've got the lower league in Scotland and England to keep our feet on the ground this weekend and we couldn't be more grateful!
Our focus is north of the border today with a selection of picks from the Championship, League One and League Two.
Scotland's longest-serving manager, Jim McInally left his post as manager of Peterhead after 11 years. Caretaker boss David Nicholls has a tough assignment today when Dunfermline are the visitors.
It's top versus bottom with the Pars clear by five points at the summit. They were involved in a coupon-buster last weekend though when they had to come from two goals down to salvage a draw despite being 1/4 shots to win at home to a struggling Clyde.
Peterhead earned a point at Airdrie last week but are still rooted to the bottom of the table. Their paltry 7 points is the lowest across all four SPFL divisions and their 36 goals conceded represents the worst defensive record.
Dunfermline should bounce back to win this one but they're just 1/2 to do so. A half-time lead for the visitors at 21/20 could be the best way to get some value out of this one but be warned, despite topping the table Dunfermline have only led at half-time in 27% of matches.
It's a short 8/13 they score two or more and although the 2/1 on them to hit three looks attractive it's something the Pars have only done twice this season.
In League Two, league-leaders Dumbarton look very backable at 20/21 at home to Forfar. The Sons have won their last four and hold a five point lead at the top of the table, they also boast an unbeaten home record, picking up 16 points from a possible 18 on their own patch.
Forfar prop up the table and have won just one of their last seven in the league. Things are tight near the bottom and a couple of wins could propel them up the table but that price on Dumbarton looks too good to be true. Let's hope it's not!
Goals look guaranteed at Stenhousemuir v Bonnyrigg. 12 of Stenny's 14 matches have seen both teams score and 13 of 14 have seen Over 2.5 goals. Rose, despite being on a poor run of results have found the net in each of their last nine and should be good for a goal at Ochilview. Three or more goals at 8/13 should be good for Accas or combine it with BTTS for a 10/11 shot.
Other goals bets that catch the eye are at Stirling Albion v East Fife where it's second versus third in League Two. East Fife mayches have been among the most entertaining in the division, their last eight seeing BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals scored. Stirling's 30 goals makes them the league's highest scorers and their home matches average 3.57 goals. Add both teams to score to the goals treble at 4/6.
Finally, dip into the National League to complete the Treble at Barnet. Visitors Torquay‘s last six league games have seen a ridiculous 32 goals scored (F14 A18), averaging 5.33 goals per game. In that time they've also drawn 2-2 with League One side Derby County and lost 5-0 in the replay.
Over the course of the 19 matches so far this season Barnet boast an average 3.59 total goals per game, the second highest in the division. No surprise to see Over 2.5 at 8/15. Paired with BTTS pays more respectable 5/6.

In December 2020 we sadly 
Cup Final day in Singapore and Tampines Rovers met Hougang United. Let’s hope both teams don’t hold back in traditional Singaporean football style, meaning lots of goals!
Tampines Rovers finished 3rd during the league campaign with a +19 goal difference and more significantly with 76 goals for and 57 goals against in 28 league games, averaging 4.75 goals per game.
Hougang United finished 5th with a -6 goal difference and again more importantly 65 goals for and 71 goals against in 28 league games, averaging 4.85 goals per game.
It is worth pointing out that their last meeting in the group stages of the cup finished 1-0 to Hougang United but Tampines Rovers had already qualified.
Their H2H record in the last 7 games prior to that 1-0 stands at 1-4, 4-2, 4-2, 1-7, 7-3, 3-2 and 5-1 l, with an average 6.5 goals per game in those 7 games…5 wins for Hougang United and 2 for Tampines Rovers in those 7 games.

Been a few goals in this round robin league cup this week, these not particularly high scoring teams but hopefully can manage at least a goal each.
The home side scored in 9 of their last 10 and 15 of last 18 home games.
The away team though in a league higher are priced at 13-10 so that suggests they are no banker to win this.
Prediction 1-1.

Who needs the world cup when this is going on 😆.
The warriors are dominant and won many games to nil this season while southern usually score in their defeats, they are not totally crap and have scored 23 and conceded many more in their 13 games so goals a plenty in southern United games.
*** 4 head to head in last 18 months seen BTTS and over 3.5 goals ***
Prediction 0-0 😳
