My first pick is Bournemouth not to lose at 1.40
why?
Rochdale player-manager Paul Simpson will be without hamstring victims Michael Oliver and Steven Hill for the visit of Bournemouth.
The pair would have missed Saturday's postponed game with Kidderminster after picking up the injuries in the lead-up to the game.
And a club spokesman has confirmed they have "no chance" of playing against the Cherries.
Goalkeeper Neil Edwards will also miss out, although he has been told he could be ready to return by the end of the month after earlier fears he could miss the rest of the season with groin, knee and knuckle injuries
With Warren Feeney and Jason Tindall still injured, Bournemouth may be unchanged at Spotland.
Boss Sean O'Driscoll just hopes that his side can transfer their excellent home form to their away games.
"We know what we've got to do - we know the way we want to play," he said.
"We know that sometimes we can't play like that, but there's going to be periods in the game when we can and we've got to make sure we do."
Morecambe at 1.66
Morecambe boss Jim Harvey has no fresh injury or suspension concerns for the home game against Margate.
Victory will move the Shrimps up to third in the Conference table and Harvey is expected to keep faith with the side that won 3-0 at Telford.
Keith Hill will start training this week following a spell on the sidelines with tendinitis, while Lee Colin (knee) is a week or two away from a return to action.
Margate boss Chris Kinnear will be without skipper Iain O'Connell for the game.
The centre-back has been ruled out for a couple of weeks after suffering concussion in a sickening clash of heads with goalkeeper Phillip Smith at Dagenham & Redbridge.
Although a hospital scan revealed no fracture to the skull of O'Connell, making his first appearance since breaking a leg earlier in the season, his eye is still badly swollen.
However, Sam Sodje has served a two-match ban and should slot into the backline as a ready-made replacement for O'Connell.
Graham Porter has recovered from his groin injury, but his wife gave birth at the weekend and Kinnear will "wait and see" whether he is ready to face the Shrimps on the day of the game.
