Football League Preview 1st Apr

CHAMPIONSHIP

Leicester are now six points clear at the top of the table and some 15 points ahead of the third placed side and but for the most spectacular of all crashes can look forward to Premier League football next season. The Foxes face Wigan on Tuesday night with the Latics unbeaten in their last nine home league games. Leicester though are on an excellent run of seven wins from their last nine away and a victory for the leaders is 7/4 (BETVICTOR). Wigan can be backed at 9/5 (GENERAL) while the game to end all square is 12/5 (GENERAL).

Blackburn and Brighton need three points in their hunt for a play-off slot and the pair do battle at Ewood Park on Tuesday night. Rovers have drawn their last three and the tie is 23/10 (GENERAL) while the home side are 6/4 (GENERAL) and the visitors 11/5 (bet365).

Leeds are currently a mess with five defeats from their last six and just one win in their last nine which means you would have to be crazy to take them at 5/4 (GENERAL) to see off struggling Charlton. The Addicks are showning some signs of life at the bottom and have lost just two of their last six and are 7/5 (BETVICTOR) in the draw no bet market. Ross McCormack has four in his last four and is a generous 11/8 (bet365) to net anytime when most firms are going under evens the Leeds man finds the net.

RECOMMENDATION: Ross McCormack to score at anytime, 11/8 (bet365)

LEAGUE 1

Top takes on bottom in League One with Wolves away to Stevenage. The Molineux side are 4/6 (GENERAL) a fourth successive victory and a 13th from their last 15 games.

Second placed Brentford are also in action and they have a trickier looking task away to Sheffield United. The Blades have won six of their last seven at home with only Wolves having won at Bramall Lane recently. The Bees though have lost just two of their last 19 so this looks a game to leave alone from a betting point of view.

It is hard to seperate Coventry and Bradford in their game on Tuesday night, both sides have identical records from their last six games (three defeats, two wins and a draw) and are on the same amount of points (48). Both teams have a number of goalscoring options so this could be one for your goals galore coupon as both teams have scored in five of the last six games that the Sky Blues have played.

Also in League One Port Vale entertain Crawley with bookmakers struggling split the pair. Vale can be backed at 19/10 (GENERAL) with Crawley 13/8 (betfred) and the draw is a 12/5 (bet365/BETVICTOR). If you look at the home record of Vale that is in the top six in the top flight while Crawley have won just three away all season. I would then recommend an interest on Vale in the draw no bet market at better than evens.

RECOMMENDATION: Port Vale draw no bet, 11/10 (BETVICTOR/paddy Power)

LEAGUE 2

Just one game in the fourth tier of English football in midweek and this sees Bury at home to Bristol Rovers. The Shakers won their first game in eight attempts at the weekend and are 11/8 (BETVICTOR) and are value against a Bristol Rovers side with no victory in their last 11 away games. The visitors have just netted five times in these 11 fixtures.

RECOMMENDATION: Bury to beat Bristol Rovers, 11/8 (BETVICTOR)
