David Easson is going all on the road for his treble this week as he picks his way through another League One betting preview. It’s Wrexham v Birmingham in a Monday Night Football classic, but first let’s look at Saturday’s action.
Yes, with two of the division’s big guns facing off on Monday as Wrexham take on Birmingham there’s a chance for a few of the top six to make a move but they’ll have to get their points on their travels. They should have enough to do it, though. There’s a few sides currently replicating last season’s form with Stockport and Wrexham making this look like the 23/24 League Two table but it's 3rd placed Barnsley I'm starting with. They’ve won 3 out of 4, drawing the other, and their away form is great with 2 high scoring away wins and a cup win at Wigan. They go to Stevenage who haven’t scored in their last 2 outings and now look a bit sad after two early wins. Take the Reds on the road at 11/8
Charlton go to Shrewsbury after two poor results and if they can’t win at the New Meadow then it would be an early sign that any playoff hopes may be misguided. The Shrews have one league win since March and that was against lowly Leyton Orient the other week. They’ve lost four of their last five at home and the Addicks should make that five of six. They’re a great even money price to win there.
Finally, Huddersfield head to Bolton in what is an intriguing game between two sides tipped to battle at the top end of the league this season. For Bolton it’s anything but, and Ian Evatt must have really enjoyed Sam Allardyce suggesting the club only need to ask him back to the club and he’d return. Delighted. Four points from four isn’t good enough. Huddersfield have lost a couple of Yorkshire derbies and were dumped out of the league cup by a wonderful Walsall comeback. It’s been a terrible dip in form after looking so good. That said, I think the international break came at a good time for them and I’m taking the Terriers at a rather large 23/10.
That’s your away day treble: Tykes, Addicks and Terriers. 14/1
