League Two - Best Bets

Good morning Football Fans! Straight down into League Two for your breakfast preview.

We'll start at Colchester where stability is really helping John McGreal begin to get the club back in decent shape. He's well into his 3rd season at the club now and his experience as a centre half at a higher level seems to be paying dividends. The Us have conceded just nine goals at home in 13 league games this season - allowing them to build a decent 8-2-3 record in front of their own fans. They have eight clean sheets in 15 home matches in all competitions

They take on Notts County this week - one of the leagues most spineless attacks. Away from home they have failed to score in their last four matches -at Oldham, Grimsby, Mansfield and Sunderland. Throw in Morecambe and Barnsley and they have managed just one goal in six away games. On the road they are just 1-4-12 this season which should be a serious concern and they are now just 4/6 to be relegated.

We could back Colchester to win this at around 4/6, but it feels short enough, and I'm not completely sure I trust them to score the goals needed. Instead I'd prefer to back them to keep a clean sheet at a bigger price. You can get 6/5 on Notts County failing to score with Marathon Bet and plenty of others are 11/10 in the clean sheet market for Colchester.

Elsewhere we like the look of Bury when they travel to Yeovil. Backing Bury away from home is a bit of a leap of faith, but this weekend's opponents have proved themselves to be a very very poor home side this campaign - they are just 1-7-9 in the league in front of their own fans since September.

Add in that Omari Patrick and Enes Mahmutovic both left the club this week, and key players Alex Pattison, Omar Sowunmi and Wes McDonald are all out, and they might have a problem.

Bury will be without Jermain Beckford, but most their goals have been coming from Nicky Maynard and Jay O'Shea this season so it won't be any concern - the latter scoring nine in his last 12. Should he be 10/3 anytime when he is also on penalty duty these days? We suggest not given form and the fact that he's been a regular goalscorer throughout his career at this sort of level.

They have also now won nine of their last 14 matches and are getting into a really good looking promotion bid under Ryan Lowe. He looks to be really thriving in his role.
