Nice one @StevieDay1983, followed you on both last night 

CD Walter Ferretti vs ART Municipal Jalapa
The second game in the Clausura play-off quarter-finals tonight is the 2am BST kick-off on Thursday morning when CD Walter Ferretti play ART Municipal Jalapa at the Estadio Nacional de Futbol. Just one place separated these two sides at the end of the regular season table but it was a clear 7 points between these two teams suggesting they might not be as closely matched as the table depicts.
CD Walter Ferretti have been one of the great entertainers in the Liga Primera de Nicaragua this phase. Henry Urbina has seen his team score an impressive 31 goals in 18 games with only league leaders Managua FC hitting the net on more occasions. A record of 4 wins from their last 5 league matches has seen them fly into the play-offs with a 7-0 win over Chinandega FC and 4-0 victory against Real Madriz being the highlights. The fact the team also boasts the top scorer in the Clausura phase in Fernando Villapando shows the attacking wealth at their disposal.
ART Municipal Jalapa come into this game as heavy underdogs. Angel Orellana's men have really struggled to find any half-decent form in recent weeks. It was 5 league matches without a win to end their regular season campaign in the Clausura phase including the demoralising 6-1 loss away to league leaders Managua FC. Can the team fix the scoring issue having only bagged 2 goals in those disastrous final 5 games?
For me, this game is only going one way. It's going to be a home victory and if CD Walter Ferretti score early or get their eye in then it could be a massacre. I'm willing to back the home side to put ART Municipal Jalapa to the sword by 2-3 goals here. I'll probably keep it reasonable with a -1 handicap in favour of the home side but I'd be shocked if the away side even came close to a victory in this one.

Diriangen vs Juventus Managua
OK, strap yourselves in. It's Clausura play-off quarter-final time! The first game up tonight is the clash between Diriangen and Juventus Managua in a midnight BST kick-off on Thursday morning at the Estadio Cacique Diriangen. It's 3rd versus 6th in the league but final league standings count for nothing when it comes to the intensity of the play-off process.
Diriangen will need to pick themselves up after narrowly missing out on an automatic play-off semi-final spot. Flavio da Silva's side finished just behind 2nd placed Real Esteli on goal difference. It was a gut-wrenching missed opportunity with the team having only lost 1 of their last 6 league matches including being unbeaten in their last 4 matches and conceding just 1 goal. This group of players will have bad memories of playing Juventus Managua only a few weeks back when the opposition strolled to a 3-0 win. However, the last time these two sides met with Diriangen at home it saw a 1-0 win for the hosts.
Juventus Managua did enough to seal their place in the play-offs finishing 3 points inside the top six. It is a second bite of the cherry for this squad that were knocked out at this stage in the Apertura phase. Just 1 win from their last 4 league games meant things got a little more twitchy than they perhaps should have been for Hector Medina's men but the 1-1 draw away to Deportivo Las Sabanas in their last game proved enough with rivals Chinandega FC slipping up at home to second from bottom CD Ocotal.
I know that Juventus Managua stormed to victory when these sides last met but that was at their place. This game at the home of Diriangen is a completely different proposition. I think Diriangen are coming into this game off the back of some solid form. Yes, missing out on 2nd was a disappointment but they were in an uphill battle and it was never really expected. I can see them sealing the win here and progressing nonetheless.

My cat just keeps saying Walter Ferreti Walter Ferreti over and over again, I think he's been on the catnip!

I'll ask you to avoid posting messages like that in the future please. No place for antagonism and vitriol like that here.

Shocking performance from Hibs, it's a funny old game sometimes.
I'll just ignore the troll.

Hibernian v Them.
I don't think it'll surprise anyone here that I've backed Hibs to win the Edinburgh derby tonight. If Hibs turn up and play anywhere near to what they're capable of then there's only one winner here. There's a fraction of value on Hibs also, coming into this game I was thinking anything around evens would be about right.
Hibs @ 2.20 - 2 pts.

If anyone fancies an in play bet in the Hibs game for the second half, a red card looks decent. Martin Boyle is getting kicked off the park every time he gets on the ball, several Inverness players booked already, red card in play @ 4.00 looks almost nailed on.

Hibs v Inverness
Hibs are fielding their strongest 11 tonight which should ensure a pretty straightforward home win. There's a gulf in class between these two sides and I think there's a bit of value on Hibs beating the -1 handicap. Max bet for me.
Hibs -1 @ 2.15 (Hills) - 5 pts.

That's right @StevieDay1983, it can get proper naughty at times but that is because the Brighton Ultra's are extremely provocative both in demeanour and outward appearence. Palace recently released images of Brighton's most hardened Ultra's to enable fans of the red & blue to avoid said individuals on match days. My concern is that the initiative may backfire as Brighton really know how to shock and provoke in the way they project the clubs image. I wouldn't bother trying to contact @Tiffy; he is now thought to be one of the Brighton networks most dangerous operators but still remains elusive. The birdman avatar allows him to blend seamlessly into other 'Gull-based' clubs where both glory and anonymity can be procured at the expense of loyalty.
I implore fellow punters, if you see the individuals below on the street, avoid them at all costs, they are probably dangerous and it is thought Tiffy is among their number.

Hearts v Aberdeen
For the second game in a row I'm confused as to why Hearts are favourites, they are a mess right now, on and off the park, toothless up front, slow at the back and a fragile confidence throughout the club. Aberdeen are overpriced here.
Aberdeen @ 2.75 - 2 pts

Celtic v Hibs.
Hibs are going with a very attack minded team today which means this game has goals written all over it. If we're open and attacking then there's no way we'll keep a clean sheet at Parkhead and at the other end we'll create plenty as well. The odds on BTTS look good to me. 
BTTS - YES @ 2.00 - 2 pts 
Hibs win @ 17.00 - 0.5 pts

Nice profit for the day but why didn't I just back the straight Hibs win
