League One - Best Bets

Once we get mid way into April, minds inevitably turn to motivation and the psychology of the players when assessing fixtures, and it's hard to make much of a case for the Bradford players digging in when they face Portsmouth on Tuesday night.

The Bantams are on a run which has seen them lose 11 of their last 15 now, and fail to score in six of their last seven. With the club stuck down in 13th, only a mathematical miracle could see any other outcome than another season in League One and the players are surely beginning to park their minds firmly on the beach now.

It's a bit more serious for Portsmouth, whose point at Plymouth at the weekend ensures they remain in touch with the play-offs - just a point outside and gearing up for an important (if tough) run in. We should trust them to get the job done in this one, and extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.

Lee Bowyer was hailed as a hero after four games of his tenure at Charlton, but reality has quickly set in again after back to back 1-0 defeats to AFC Wimbledon and Scunthorpe. Now they head to Shrewsbury - a side who could easily pass the 90 point mark this season without ever really grabbing many headlines. Paul Hurst will certainly be a man in demand over the summer as Championship chairman consider their options for the 2018/19 season.

With 13 wins from 19 efforts at home this season, no side has won more on their own turf than the Shrews, and they don't deserve to be odds-against with home advantage on their side in this one.
