League One - Best Bets

We'll start this week's picks over at Shrewsbury, where Paul Hurst's men look exceptional value at 19/20 to make home advantage count against AFC Wimbledon.

The Shrews are in the midst of a tremendously competitive battle for one of the two automatic promotion slots, and have won eight of their last 12 outings, so are in great form. Unbeaten in six, they will fancy their chances.

AFC Wimbledon are as short as 3/1 in some places to win this, but just one away win in thier last 12 attempts suggests they aren't enjoying their coach trips, and only Rotherham have scored more home wins than Shrewsbury.

We took home a nice little bag of cash backing Gillingham to win at Portsmouth last weekend, and they look ripe for another bet this weekend as they travel to out of form Bradford.

Let's start with the hosts, who are in absolutely shocking form right now. A really solid start to the season saw them rubbing shoulders with the leaders until mid-October, but the Bantams are now without a win in 11, and without a clean sheet in 19. In truth, the run they are in is probably not quite as bad as it looks - they were only beaten 1-0 by Wigan and Plymouth, and took draws against Charlton and Bury - but they will know their season is all but over now.

Gillingham have enjoyed the opposite type of season really - failing to win in their opening seven league matches, but now just a point behind Bradford after a run which has seen them lose just twice in fifteen.

Their away form has been ominous as well, winning at Fleetwood, Charlton, Scunthorpe, Northampton and Portsmouth since Christmas. Should they really be close to 3/1 in this one?

We sinned last week when we left Plymouth out of the picks. We've had enough emails noting it, and wont make the same mistake twice. They go to Charlton this weekend with the bookmakers making the home side decent favourites.

Charlton's play-off ambitions appear to be fading fast after just one win in eight, and they have scored just once in their last four now.

With just one defeat in 17 (against Wigan no less), and a run of seven wins and a draw coming into this one, Plymouth simply have to be backed at 5/2 in this one.
