Market: Leyton Orient win
Odds: 11/10 @
Looking to extend on what has been a real March purple patch on Tuesday night, Leyton Orient will make the trip to relegation scrappers Oldham.
Starting with the hosts, last seen a few days ago suffering a second-half collapse on home soil, Oldham find themselves in the midst of a League Two nightmare. Eventually getting hit with a 2-1 defeat against Mansfield, John Sheridan’s side are sat three points adrift of safety and are in pole position to lose their Football League status this year. Losing each of their last six outings on the spin, it should also be highlighted that the Latics have remarkably failed to win any of their previous eight fixtures, a run that stems back to March 19th. Only continuing to show a host o…

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny backed Olivier Giroud to win back his spot when given the chance by Arsene Wenger.
Giroud, 30, has struggled for game time this season, playing just 51 Premier League minutes without a start.
Koscielny, also a team-mate of Giroud s with France, said the striker would eventually get his opportunity.
That s a delicate situation for him. We came back late following the Euros. We joined the squad at another time. It took us more time to get fit, he said.
Olivier needed a little more time than others. Then there is a lot of competition up front at Arsenal.
Alexis Sanchez is currently playing exceptionally well so it s complicated to push him out the starting 11.
I know Olivier and he s experienced much wor…
Ex-Olympiacos defender Avraam Papadopoulos has taken a swipe at coach Michel after sealing a free transfer to Trabzonspor.
The 29-year-old was club captain for the Greek champions and had been a pivotal figure since joining in 2008.
However, last season saw Dimitris Siovas break into the first-team and Papadopoulos became a somewhat peripheral figure at the Karaiskakis Stadium.
The Greece international took the time to praise Olympiacos president Evangelos Marinakis, but revealed that his relationship with Spanish coach Michel was beyond repair after completing his move to Turkey.
I want to thank wholeheartedly the president of Olympiacos, Mr Marinakis, and the management who respected my desire, despite strong disagreement, to leave the club for a new c…

Juventus clinched a historic seventh successive Serie A title and completed a fourth straight domestic double courtesy of a drab 0-0 draw at Roma, who finished the match with 10 men.
The Bianconeri got the point needed at the Stadio Olimpico to take an unassailable four-point lead over second-place Napoli with a game to spare, adding to the Coppa Italia crown they claimed by beating AC Milan 4-0 on the same ground just four days ago.
It is Massimiliano Allegri s fourth straight Scudetto and follows the three claimed by Antonio Conte at the start of an unprecedented era of success for the Turin giants though it remains to be seen whether he will be on hand to extend that streak amid links to Arsenal and Chelsea.
