League One Best Bets

Two quick picks in League One.

Luton are second in the table and playing terrific football by all accounts. At home they have already won 10 games, with the other three ending up as draws. They have scored a league high of 31 goals at home, while only Barnsley can better their nine leaked at the back. That's an average winning scoreline of 2.38 v 0.69. Today they face Peterborough.

Posh are in sixth, but all their performance data places them plenty lower in the table so perhaps they are still somewhat fortunate to be having such a good season, and they have won just two of their last seven in the league.

Luton haven't won for five now, but factor in a two-legged 1-0 aggregate to Sheffield Wednesday, an away draw at Sunderland and a stalemate against Barnsley and it doesn't look quite so concerning.

Sunderland have drawn a bad time to go to Scunthrope, with the Iron winning their last four matches on the trot. That would have been inconceivable three weeks ago, but suddenly they represent a very real threat.

Scunny have actually scored in 13 of their 18 home games this season, so will almost certain ask questions of Sunderland, so despite their great form, it would take a brave man to put them on the coupon at even money this week.

Instead we're backing Both Teams to Score in this one. It's landed in nine of Sunderland last 14 matches and this looks a much more competitive match than we were expecting a few weeks ago.
