League One Best Bets

Three fancies in League One this week, and for once it isn't Plymouth (although they came close to making the final cut....!)

Let's start with Charlton who aren't pulling up any trees at the moment, but surely shouldn't be odds-against with home advantage against Fleetwood Town. The Cod Army are now without a win in ten, a run which has seen them lose eight and draw twice. They simmply don't look a threat on the data at the moment, and have conceeded at least two goals in eight of their last ten.

Charlton are no world beaters, and are beginning to look like the play-off dreams are over, but they have still won four and drawn three of their last 11. Take the 23/20 in this one.

Gillingham won't be in many punters' accumulators this weekend when they tackle Blackburn, but they will be on our bet slip as we look to them to cause an upset. Things were pretty dire for the Gills after 15 games, with just 11 points on the board, but things have turned since then, and they have collected a further 38 in the following 21 games and are into the top half.

Blackburn are the visitors this week - top of the table and flying under Tony Mowbray. This is all about the price though, so we won't waste time making reasons against a very good Blackburn side, and just point out that 4/1 feels a solid price about a home side who haven't lost in their last 9 at home in the division.

Finally, Shrewsbury can take advantage of a Scunthorpe side who appear to have lost the plot since the turn of the year. The Shrews continue to fight for an automate promotion spot, and three wins without conceding in a row will fll them with confidence ahead of the run in. Meanwhile Scuny just dont seem to know how to win - taking maximum points against just Fleetwood from their last 11 outings. They've conceded 22 goals in that time and look there for the taking at the moment. At 23/10 Shrewsbury look excellent value in this one.
