League Two Best Bets

Colchester look decent value at nearly 3/1 when they welcome Luton on Saturday, with the visitors struggling to get over the line at the top of the table. The Us have recorded a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, with three wins, three draws and three defeats, but have been solid enough at home through the campaign – winning eight of their 19 home ties.

Luton are a far superior side of course, of that there is no doubt at all, but they have now won just once in their last six, and have just a solitary away win since Boxing Day – a run of eight matches. They are surely vulnerable, and the 29/10 looks big on the hosts.

Without a win in 18 matches, Grimsby were our recent addition to the ante-post portfolio, and we haven’t changed our tune after the Mariners lost 4-0 at Coventry and 3-1 at Luton. Time is running out to put points on the board, and a win for Forest Green over the weekend won’t have eased their concerns.

They prepare for this weekend with a host of players, including Ben Davies, Scott Vernon, Jamille Matt, Karleigh Osborne, Luke Summerfield and Mitch Rose.

Stevenage can take advantage of the situation, and win at really attractive odds of 9/4 with Coral and Sky Bet. World beaters they aren’t but they should be well in this game and look a big price.

The flame has gone out on Newport County’s season, but remains very much alight for Coventry City who will fancy their chances of being involved in the play-offs. Newport have been sliding at an alarming rate under Michael Flynn – just one win from their last 12, and without a home win since January the 19th.

They look there for the taking if Coventry turn up in a combative mood, and 14 points from their last six league games suggests they will. They have already won at MK Dons, Wycombe and Crewe in 2018.
