The top three are all in action in League One on Saturday lunchtime on what could be a crucial weekend for them all. David Easson has the League One Betting Preview
It’s 1st versus 2nd as Wycombe go to leaders Birmingham.
The Blues have the strongest defence in the division, having only conceded 19 goals so far – and let’s face it they’re pretty much already in the Championship.
They have not lost in the league since November 23, when they suffered a shock 3-2 defeat away to Shrewsbury Town, a run that has seen them go 17 matches without defeat in the division. The Blues currently have the best home record in League One, and they have not lost any of their 16 league games at St. Andrews this season
Enter the best away record in the league Wycombe have 32 points from 16 away matches but they’ve lost ground on the leaders since losing manager Matt Bloomfield to Luton. Two draws and a win so far for Mike Dodds. Not bad, but not what Birmingham have been doing.
This could be tight – much tighter than most Wycombe games. I think Blues edge it.
Birmingham and under 2.5 goals is the play at 13/5
An intriguing fixture comes in north Wales as Wrexham, who blew a 2-0 lead in the EFL trophy semi-final in midweek to miss out on Wembley in a penalty shoot-out, take on resurgent Bolton.
Even with Bolton winning three on the spin under new boss Steven Schumacher, you’d normally back Phil Parkinson’s side at home, but their home form has taken a real dip with a draw against Birmingham followed by defeats by Stevenage and Orient.
Now Bolton went to Wrexham in the Trophy a few weeks back and lost 1-0 but the way both sides’ games have been going outside of that fixture, we’re getting goals here.
Wrexham will have an eye on the Birmingham-Wycombe game if they can – but whatever happens they have to make ground on one or both of them.
The Reds and both teams to score is the play at 100/30
That’s a League One Saturday lunchtime double of 14/1
