Top of league one Gillingham are clear by 8 points and can all but seal the title with a win today against struggling Torquay United who sit 1 point off the relegation zone. Gillingham are on an 8 game unbeaten run and face a team who have not managed an away win in 7 fixtures. The reverse fixture ended in a 2-1 defeat but we don't expect Torquay to do the double over the league leaders.

Vitesse currently sit 3rd place within the league, 9 places above their opponant NAC Breda and are enjoying a 6 games win streak within the league as well as only 1 loss in their last 16. With Feyenoorde hot on their heels, Vitesse cannot faulter against the lesser teams and will look to do the double over NAC this season with the reverse fixture ended 3-0.

Top place Sligo Rovers host 11th Shelbourne, a team who have only managed a single point so far this season and have not beaten them since 2006, back then Shelbourne where the better team within the league. Sligo come into today's match off of 8 straight wins in a row and only 1 loss at home all season! complete opposite of their opponent who have managed only 1 win in 10 away from home. Only a few games into the season it is too early judge Shelbourne and their position in the league but Sligo tend to stay at the top end of the table throughout the campaign and a win today seems the way to go.

Rock bottom Mersin Idmanyurudu travel to Galatasaray today and if both teams continue their recent form, the only thing they will be leaving with is a lower goal difference. Mersin have not managed a win in the league for 7 games, a stat made even worse by the fact that they are without an away victory for double that. Having lost 3-0 to Real Madrid in mid-week, Gala may look to make a statement and what better way to do it than at home against the worst team in the league. The last time these two met ended in a 1-1 draw, with new boys Drogba and Sneijder on the field we wouldn't expect a repeat of this result today.
