League One predictions, betting tips and best bets
Blackpool vs Burton Albion
Betting tip: Blackpool to win
Neil Critchley’s Seasiders have really been pulling up trees at Bloomfield Road this season, and Blackpool have won seven and drawn one of their last eight assignments on home soil ahead of the visit of bottom club Burton on Tuesday.
Albion have shown some signs of life since the turn of the year, though they have only won once on the road all season. The Brewers are meek visitors all too often, and Blackpool’s strong home form makes them worth sticking with.
Hull City vs Lincoln City
Betting tip: Both teams to score
The division’s top two face off at the KCOM Stadium in a genuine title six-pointer on Tuesday, but while the result could be a season-definer for both Hull and Lincoln, bettors are advised to stick to the goal markets.
Both teams found the net earlier this month at the same venue in a lively EFL Trophy quarter final, and the same market appeals when the teams renew acquaintances for this League One clash.
Northampton Town vs Wigan Athletic
Betting tip: Northampton Town to win
Northampton have lost just one of their last five games (a 2-1 reverse at table topping Lincoln) and the Cobblers should be confident of defeating fellow strugglers Wigan at Sixfields Stadium.
Town won a five-goal thriller in the reverse fixture in October and three of Wigan’s starting line up from that day have left the club since. Athletic shipped nine goals combined in their last three matches, and the Latics’ porous defence could be their undoing again.
Peterborough United vs Ipswich Town
Betting tip: Peterborough United to win
Peterborough bounced back from a surprise loss at MK Dons last week with a routine 2-0 win at home to Crewe on Saturday, and Darren Ferguson’s side can harness home advantage again when Ipswich Town visit.
The Posh have won six of their last seven at the Weston Homes Stadium and they should prove too strong a force there for an Ipswich team still searching for consistency.
Shrewsbury Town vs Sunderland
Betting tip: Sunderland to win
Sunderland have gone 12 League One games on the road without defeat and Lee Johnnson’s away day specialists should be backed to deliver the goods at Greenhous Meadow.
The Shrews have only won twice in 11 attempts at home in the league, and the Black Cats got the better of them in the north east when the teams squared off back in January for their reverse fixture.
Fleetwood Town vs Doncaster Rovers
Betting tip: Doncaster Rovers to win
Doncaster are making a real drive for an automatic promotion place, and Rovers carry a five-game winning streak with them into another winnable looking game at Fleetwood on Tuesday.
Town are without a victory in nine League One assignments, and they could find Doncaster’s head of steam took powerful to cope with at Highbury Stadium.
