Morecambe the best value in League Two

The League Two action gets underway Saturday lunchtime (12:15) as the SKY cameras roll up to Home Park for the game between Plymouth and Portsmouth.

Bookmakers are split as to who should be favourite with some favouring Portsmouth and others favouring Plymuth. Plymouth are a best priced 15/8 (SPREADEX) as they seek to repair a run of form that has seen them win just one of their last four though at home they have taken seven points from the last four games.

Those who want to back Portsmouth can back them for all three points at 17/10 (BETVICTOR/paddy Power/william hill). Pompey enter the game in good form having lost just one of their last five away though they have drawn three of those. The game to end all square here is available at 12/5 (GENERAL).

Those looking for an anytime scorer bet in the game will be interested in David Connolly who is 19/10 (BETVICTOR) and has scored three of his four league goals away from home. Jed Wallace meanwhile has scored in his last two league games and is 4/1 (paddy Power) to net in this game. For the Pilgrims Reuben Reid is the top scorer with three this season and he can backed at 85/40 (BETVICTOR).

Those looking for a bet on the live game should take the 11/10 (GENERAL) on the NO in the both teams to score market as this would have paid in all five Plymouth home games. The game of the day in the division is the one that pits Fleetwood against Chesterfield and is a battle between the top two sides. The Spireites have hit a little bit of a slump after such an outstanding start losing their first two games though they can take inspiration from the fact they have lost just one of their last eight away games and they can be backed at 23/10 (bet365/BETVICTOR). Fleetwood are also going well winning six of their last seven games and are available at 13/10 (ladbrokes/CORAL) for the victory while the draw is a 5/2 (BETVICTOR) chance.

Matty Blair has netted three times in his last four Fleetwood home games and I think he has to be backed at 3/1 (SKYBET) in the anytime scorer market here.

The form team in League Two at the moment are Morecambe who have taken 14 points from their last six games which suggests they could be a little bit of value when they take on Bury. The Shakers have got just two points from their last five games and I like the look of the Shrimps to come out of this game with something. You can take them at 12/5 (william hill) to win the game though I prefer the cover of the draw as they have drawn two of their last three so I will recommend taking them in the draw no bet market at 11/8 (BETVICTOR).

The final recommend bet is in taking Northampton to get something from their visit to Oxford. The home side have not won any of their last five in front of their own fans while the visitors have taken four points from their last two games which includes a home draw with in-form Morecambe and a win at AFC Wimbledon last week. I would keep the draw on side so take the Cobblers on the Asian Handicap with a 0.5 start at 10/11 with 188 BET.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Morecambe to beat Bury in draw no bet, 11/8 (BETVICTOR)
SILVER: Northampton +0.5 on the Asian Handicap v Oxford, 10/11 (188 BET)
BRONZE: Matty Blair to score anytime v Chesterfield, 3/1 (SKYBET)
