Arsenal's young players are "worth the risk" said boss Mikel Arteta after they beat League One Portsmouth at a noisy Fratton Park to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals. Arteta named a team with six players aged 20 or under and they looked in control, especially in the second half, to beat a team who had not lost in 19 home games. Pompey played well in the first half but trailed to Sokratis Papastathopoulos' volley from Reiss Nelson's cross just before the break.
Currently, Ranger is ranked 7th after 24 rounds in the Danish league. With only 3 points worse than the Top 6 with a game still in hand, the opportunity for Randers to rise to a place in the championship round is very possible. This season, Rangers won 10, drew 4 and lost 9 matches, scored 37 goals and received 31 goals. Meanwhile, Vendsyssel is ranked 5th in the 2nd division with the result of winning 8, drawing 4 and losing 8 and only scored 18 goals and received 22 goals. In particular, they lost 5/10 away matches, 4 losses. So, still should believe in a victory even though conceded for host Rangers in this match. Last season, the two teams had 4 encounters with Randers winning 2 and drawing 2. Before this season, Rangers also won 4-3 when inviting Vendsyssel friendly match. In friendly matches, Randers also won 5/6 confrontations, 3 wins and 4/6 wins over 4 goals or more. Therefore, the same scenario can still occur in this match.
On the CHCEC Cup rankings, it's no surprise that Slavia Prague is overwhelming the rest with the top spot with 61 points after 25 rounds. The distance this giant created with second-ranked team Viktoria Plzen is up to 8 points. Meanwhile, Baumit Jablonec is the third-ranked team, but only 53 points. As such, Slavia Prague has a great opportunity to finish in the top position after the first phase of the season. At the same time, it is a great advantage for teachers and coach Trpisovsky to enter the finals for the top 6 teams. Especially at home, Slavia Prague retains its inherent strength with 11 victories and only drew 1 match in a total of 11 matches played this season. It will be a huge psychological advantage for the Sinobo Stadium team to look forward to the welcome of Slavia Prague here.
Guests are favorites in this match from Germany Regional league, but I will still bet on goals here, what is for me, more than ok and very real. So, Optik Rathenow is team who is won in last match at home in league 3-0, but in previous round, they are lost, as a guests, 0-3. Hertha is better team, that is clear, but they are in bad form and I'm not sure that they will win in this duel. In last three matches, this team is lost 1-2, 1-3 and 1-2. I see here in any case plenty of goals.

Barrow will host Wrexham for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are big favorites against this opponent and I expect they to dominate from the start match. Barrow is one of the best teams in this campaign. Hosts have a great attack. True, in last game Barrow lost 0-2 against ambitious Notts County. On the other hand Wrexham is very average team in this league. However, the visitors have a poor results in this campaign. In any case, they were weaker team in the last matches and for me they could lose. My pick - Barrow to win.

Monchengladbach will have an advantage here going by their defensive run this season, though their away form has deteriorated in the past few matches. They have no win in the last five away league matches but going by the quality of opponent they face, we believe they will put an end to the poor run.
