There are a couple of teams we can definitely label "in-form" after a long week for sides in the 3rd tier. David Easson has the League One Betting Preview.
Leyton Orient are very much our League One favourites at the moment. Storming along in the league, giving City a jolt in the cup and bouncing back from the one-off blip against Stockport in midweek by - as predicted - thumping Mansfield 3-0.
The price for the O's to win against Lincoln, who have gone 3 without a win in the league and have only won once away from home in their last 10, is 19/20 and just cannot be ignored in any acca. But they are so good defensively at home, where they've kept clean sheets in 9 of the last 11 home games. Orient to win to nil is 21/10
Stockport were denied a sixth straight win with a 90th minute equaliser at Bristol Rovers in midweek but it shouldn't put you off backing the Hatters again at Wigan.
County are four without defeat away from home while Latics have only won 2 of their last 9 games at home. Stockport are back in with a shout of automatic promotion and if they can get 3 points at Wigan they could well leapfrog Wrexham. Wigan have scored the fewest goals in League One. Stockport have scored in their last 9 games and they're the tip at 6/5.
Charlton are in fantastic form but come up against the real juggernaut in League One as they go to Birmingham. The Addicks have scored 11 goals in their last 4 away games and represent a real danger to the Blues, but I think they'll have more than enough with Jay Stansfield in particular looking in great scoring form. The one fear may be the effect of a long week, with the near-thing against Newcastle last Saturday and a midweek game but the 4-0 win over Cambridge was a stroll while Charlton had to go to the 89th minute to beat Peterborough. Full respect to Charlton, I reckon they score but Blues win.
Birmingham and both teams to score is 3/1
