All above odds are from Hills.

One that sticks out for me is Lisburn Distillery to beat Glentoran (5.5 @ Skybet).

Lisburn are a good side and they will be looking to press on having drawn at Larne last weekend. They have a decent record at home to the Glens and shouldn't be out at this price. They also hope to have former Glens player Darren Armour in the side, and if he makes it it will be a big boost for the hosts.

Glentoran will still be bedding in under new manager Alan McDonald, and although they beat Armagh 6-0 at home last weekend I'd expect them to face a much tougher task here when the come up against a much better side than Armagh.

On this match 10bet have priced Lisburn @ 3.52, so a massive difference between the bookies.

The bet for me is a home win @ 5.5 (skybet)

Agree about the Glens having a tougher game but I still think we should beat Distillery. We're still a little dodgy in defence but the Whites only managed a draw against Larne last week. If your a Glentoran backer www.toals.co.uk are offering the Glens at a very generous 1.80 (I don't think you can bet online but may be able to telephone bet).

Dungannon should give the bloos a hard time but I think Linfield should scrape this.

Haven't seen enough of the sides this year to form much judgment on the games but my bet of the day has to be Larne to beat Armagh. My mate's amateur league team played against Armagh's 1st team 3 weeks ago and drew a very credible 0-0. Consider Glentoran should and could have had double figures last week, I can't see Armagh getting anything from the game.

For Glens backers 10bet go to 1.88 for them to win, Bwin 1.91.

I'm staying on Lisburn though, I think the price is far too long on them.

Coleraine @ 3.00 can get a home win over the Port's who are without suspended Collin's their midfield dynamo.

Cliftonville @ 2.35 can win this North Belfast derby

Donegal Celt's @ 2.50 are nailed on against a Limavady team decimated after last season , new manager and a complete new team of untried players at this level.

Linfield @ 1.70 are a snip they are something like 30 matches unbeaten by local teams .

Glenavon/Ballymena has draw written all over it 2 undependable teams

Institute/Newry also looks a draw newry drew last week at home to Portadown while 'Stute and C'raine also fought out a 2-2 draw.

Larne @ 2.25 can add to Armagh's lashing of 0-6 by Glentoran last week and also lose centre half and captain Walker with injury.

Glentoran @ 1.91 should win this close game against improving Distillery,
the Glens have the fire power up front.
