Unbeatable Colchester to continue their form, Swindon to beat local rivals, Morecambe to marvel at home. The best bets for League 2

Here are our best bets for League 2 for Saturday.


Colchester United v Fleetwood


Colchester host Fleetwood on Saturday with the home side in solid form.


The one remarkable stat about Colchester is since October, Colchester have suffered just 3 defeats in the league. 3 defeats in 25 league games, none since the start of January, none in 12 league games.


PREVIEW: Colchester v Fleetwood

Fleetwood have lost 2 of their last 4 away games, but they have won their last on their travels so they do cause a potential problem.


The other problem is the number of games that Colchester draw, they have drawn the highest percentage of games in the league, so the draw, 9/4 is a play but in most places, Colchester are EVS to win but at William Hill, they are 11/10 at the time of recording and that is our pick.


Swindon Town v Cheltenham Town


There is a bit of a Wiltshire/Gloucestershire derby on Saturday with Swindon Town at home to Cheltenham.


PREVIEW: Swindon v Cheltenham

Swindon started the season extremely poorly but since Ian Holloway joined as manager, their fortunes, and form, has changed. He has currently won 44% of games in charge of Swindon, his highest win percent at any club he has managed.


Swindon are full of goals, and if they don't win, as they haven't in their last 2 games, they still provide plenty of entertainment with two consecutive 2-2 draws.




Cheltenham away from home have won 2 in 3 away games but they have failed to score in 5 of their last 7 away games.


We're not sure Cheltenham will score. We're certain that Swindon will. Swindon are EVS in most places to win but are 21/20 at Ladbrokes at the time of recording and that is our selection.


Morecambe v Barrow


Morecambe play host to local rivals Barrow on Saturday and its getting close to must win territory for the home side. They are 2nd bottom, in the relegation zone, and are 4 points from safety.


PREVIEW: Morecambe v Barrow

Barrow are safe in 16th, with no chance of being caught by the teams at the bottom, and with no chance of making the play-offs, Barrow's season in practically over.


Their away form is pretty poor with 7 defeats in 9 away games before inexplicably winning at Notts County last time out. Barrow hardly win away from home, never mind winning back to back games.


Morecambe have won 3 of 5 at home and are a fairly big price, 21/10 at bet365 to win at home on Saturday so we are taking it.


Good luck with your bets, enjoy the football and please gamble responsibly.
