League One betting, Yeovil - Preston

Since Gary Johnson took the charge (again), Yeovil have noticed a win (against free fall Tranmere) and two defeats (conceded eight in those). Midfielder Dominic Blizzard is a doubt.

Preston are still without strikers Hume and Mellor, which is a big blow of course, but it seems they’ve adjusted to play without them. Four games on the road without a defeat (two wins, two draws) and conceded only one goal (scored only three though).

Expect another Preston’s win by one goal and frankly fancy those odds. Some limitation on a draw, though.

Bet: Preston -0.25
Odd: 2.22 (Pinnacle)
Stake: 7/10

Blue Square betting, 24th Jan

a

Bath City - Alfreton Town

Six-pointer! Bath are at the bottom, five points below the line (with a game in hand), but there’s some certain improvement in their game. At home, they’re undefeated in last seven competitive games and have won three out of last four. They got trashed at Grimsby for the weekend (which is not a shame at the moment), but I think they were with their minds on this game.

Alfreton have noticed 10 defeats out of 14 away games (stayed undefeated in last two, though). So as Bath, they also had an unpleasant weekend losing at home against Kidderminster 0-2. They will miss a Stoke’s loaned striker, Moult and first choice goalie.

Apparently I missed the better price earlier today, but am still fine with the odd.

Bet: Bath City -0.25
Odd: 1.99 (Pinnacle)
Stake: 6/10

Forest Green Rovers - Wrexham

Rovers are winless in last seven games (five in league) and in those have scored just once. They look safe from relegation and without a hope for play-off. They've played 11 games against teams above them in the table and have only one win (at Southport).

Wrexham are topping the table and are in a great run of results with seven consecutive wins.

Betting on a winning horse, away win.

Bet: Wrexham -0.5
Odd: 2.04 (Canbet)
Stake: 6/10

League One Betting, Oldham - Exeter

e

Oldham don’t look that bad as the table shows. They put some decent displays recently, were probably the better side at Hudders but lost with a goal at the late stage. The problem will be fatigue from midweek Cup defeat at Chesterfield.

Exeter are pretty bad on the road, they’re second worst in league and have lost three of last four away (only positive result was win over bottom side - Chesterfield). Interesting is their two director flew to Brazil in attempt to arrange friendly.

I am going to back home side, here.

Bet: Oldham -0.5
Odd: 2.01 (188bet)
Stake: 6/10

Championship betting, Leeds - Ipswich

d

Leeds seem to be losing the pace (one win out of last six in league) and with problematic Howson’s sell that should follow, play-off place looks far at the moment (although it’s only 3 points distance). However, their home games have produced an average of 2.75 goals and Leeds have scored in every of their 15 games against bottom half sides.

Ipswich are in a poor form as well, winless in five in league, but actually like to play against Leeds since they haven’t been defeated in nine (both home and away) and won’t lack any confidence. Problem is they have the worst defence in second tier (51 goals - 26 games) and away it looks even worse as their trips have produced an average of unreal 3.54 goals per a game. They’ve also conceded in 13 of last 14 in a league.

It is so strong statistics and considering unrest among Leeds fans that could put an additional pressure, it could be one of those crazy games. Over for me.

Maybe one more, later...

Bet: Over 2.75
Odd: 2.01 (Canbet)
Stake: 7/10

Championship betting, Bristol City - Doncaster

a

After Derek McInnes took the charge Robins made a promising start with four wins out of five, but lost the breath soon after that. However, they’ve been showing some signs of improvement lately with two wins out of last three (against leaders S’ton (away) and Millwall at home). Skipper Liam Fontaine will miss again.

Donny are second from the bottom and their prospects don’t look good at all. They’ve noticed 11 defeats out of 13 on the road (five in a trot), conceding an average of 2.38 goals per a game.

City have some certain quality, if not for a play-off then for middle definitely. This is a six-pointer and I think their motivation isn’t questionable. If they stop Billy Sharp (six of last seven goals for Donny), City will take this one comfortably.

Bet: B.City -0.5
Odd: 1.93 (Canbet)
Stake: 7/10

Blue Square North Betting, 7th Jan

s

Altrincham - Colwyn Bay 

Altrincham look pretty well at home with seven wins out of eleven (one defeat), scored second amount of goals and have also second defence.

Colwyn have noticed three league defeats in a row and all three without scoring.

Bet: Altrincham -1.0
Odd: 2.10 (bet365)

Despite only four points separate these two teams, they’re in the opposite trends. Corby have three home defeats in a row (goal diff. 1-8), Halifax five wins out of last six in league and straight four wins on the road.

Bet: Halifax -0.25
Odd: 2.00 (188bet)
Stake: 7/10
