“They'll be dancing in the streets of Skopje tonight”…and tomorrow… and for a good while yet after North Macedonia stunned Germany in Wednesday's World Cup qualifier in one of the biggest shock results in international football in many a year.

Joachim Löw has already signalled his intent to leave his post after Euro 2020 but his departure may be hastened after that result, Germany's first defeat in a World Cup qualifier since England beat them 5-1 in 2001.

In another surprise result, Scotland scored four without replay against the Faroe Islands 🙃! It was a welcome result for Steve Clarke's men who are now second in Group F 💪, behind favourites Denmark.

Harry Maguire's late winner made it three wins form three for England who look likely to cruise through another qualifying group, while Northern Ireland were held to a 0-0 draw with Bulgaria.

The good news is that we can now put international football to bed until the build up to the serious business of Euro 2020 begins.

There's little happening on Thursday but for the early risers there's action from the A-League live on BT Sport 3 in the shape of Central Coast Mariners v Adelaide United which Tolu has kindly previewed for us here.

And don't forget that it's Good Friday on Friday so that means there's a full card of Championship, League One, League Two and National League games to look forward to. Our team have already posted some thoughts on a trio of live matches to kick-start the weekend.

Golf Tips: Valero Open & US Masters Build-Up

The Masters is just over a week away and The Caddy sets the scene on who could be in contention at Augusta in this year's first major. He'll be covering the tournament in detail next week but in the meantime you can join the debate on who's like to be rocking the green jacket by the end of next weekend.

Before that most of the big hitters will compete at the Valero Texas Open this weekend and The Caddy has opted for local resident Abraham Ancer at 25/1 as headline pick of three.

Good luck with all your bets on Thursday!

    Real Zaragoza vs FC Cartagena
    La Liga 2 🇪🇸
    Thursday 1st April, 20:30 ⏰

    Despite being 4th from bottom, Zaragoza actually have the 11th best home record in the division losing only 4 of their 15 home games winning 7.
    Zaragoza have won 6 of their last 7 at home conceding only 1 goal which was an own goal.
    5 of their wins in that run and 6 overall have finished 1-0 with their only other home win finishing 2-0, therefore I can see a similar score line here.

    2nd bottom Cartagena have only won 2 of their 15 away games this season losing 9.
    Only their opponents Zaragoza have a worst away record in the league that Cartagena.
    Cartagena have failed to win any of their last 6 on the road losing 5 of them.
    6 of their 9 defeats on the road have finished 2-0 or 2-1.

    4th bottom Zaragoza host 2nd bottom Cartagena in a big game at the bottom of Spain’s second tier. This could be a tight game that involves plenty of cards but there is something that stood out to me. Both teams respective recent home and away form and also the score lines in those games.

      Just realised that Zaragoza to win has now shortened to 20/21
      And the correct score grouping has also shortened down to 6/4
      Just hope Zaragoza go out and do the business now 🤞🏼

    2 matches in today’s 🇦🇺 A league involving the 2 form teams in the division who have both won their last 6 games. On paper Adelaide have the tougher game of the 2 away to top of the league Central Coast Mariners, so for that game I’m going for a generic bet where both sides can work for me, but for the first game I can’t see past city, especially after seeing the line ups as western Uniteds 2 best players Sanchez and diamanté are both out of the starting XI (although diamanté is on the bench)
    Highlighted Jamie mcclaren scoring run last week with 8 in 5 and tipped him up to continue that and he duly obliged in the last minute to make it 9 from 6 and I’m on him again to continue that against a team he’s scored 8 goals in 5 games against. Adding a couple of singles for this match for player bookings, western are never short of a card or 2 and their 2 biggest culprits this season are uskok and Sanchez, as I said Sanchez isn’t playing so I’m going with the man replacing him in midfield lustica whose picked up 4 yellows in 10 games along with the aforementioned uskok

    Glad to see the back end of internationals for a while!!
    Trip to Croatia 2nd Division today.
    Solin vs Sesvete 3:30pm KO

    Solin occupy 2nd from bottom of the Croatian 2 Division.
    They may face the drop but they appear to be putting up a decent fight -on home soil anyway!
    Their recent home form reads LDWLWDDLD they have scored in 4 out of their last 5 home games with 2 of 4 games seeing them net 2 goals.

    Explore a bit deeper and 3 of those 5 home games were against the top 4 teams in the league.

    Sesvete haven’t kept a clean sheet on the road for their last 12 away matches.
    11 of the 12 away matches have seen their opposition net at least two goals!! They even lost away to bottom of the table Junak Sinj who managed to put 3 past them and win.

    12 of the 13 Seveste Away games has seen over 2.5goals.
    No surprises thebthat Sesvete are the league leaders for over 2.5 match goals with 82% of their games going over.

    H2Hs point to goals – last 4 H2Hs have seen btts.
    Last H2H at Sevete’s ground saw Sevete come out 4 nil winners.
    Last H2H at Solin’s ground was a 3-1 win to Solin.
    With Solin at home and putting up a decent fight more recently against the better teams of the league and Seveste being nothing but leaky on the road I am on goals in this one and Solin to pick up a home win as a smaller stake side bet.

    Athletico have won all 5 games scoring 2+ in them all.
    They won their 3 home games to nil but conceded in their 2 away games so hoping that continues.

    Caldense scored in 4 of 5 h2h here.
    3 of last 4 h2h seen BTTS and overs including athletico 1 caldense 2 in their last meeting last February.

    Caldense scored in 6 of last 7 games.
    Athletico including serie a games conceded in 15 of last 17 away games.

    If athletico play a full team and are bang at it they win to nil.
    They have shown in their 2 away games in this state cup they don’t mind letting one in as long as they win.
