League One - Best Bets

Getting ahead of the weekend, and aside from the TV game, we have just a single pick in League One this weekend.

Coventry fans will feel they have a fighting chance of making the play-offs after reeling in Peterborough and now just Doncaster stand between them and sixth place in the table. It’s starting to look like one from five, with Blackpool and Fleetwood also in the mix.

This week they face an Oxford side who have really hated going on the road this season – registering just a single win from 19 away games to date and scoring just 16 in those games.

Coventry are far from world beaters of course – their home form reads a steady 8-5-6 and they have only mustered a +3 goal difference in those matches. More recently, form has been strong with five wins and two draws from their last eight outings, including a sold point at Luton and wins over Fleetwood and Peterborough in their last two – huge confidence boosting results when you glance at the table. They also look to be benefiting from bringing in Bright Enobakhare on loan from Wolves - he has four goals in his last seven matches now.

I’d have Coventry as strong favourites on a neutral ground, so 7/5 at home, against a side who travel as badly as Oxford makes plenty of sense. Get on with Marathon or on the Exchanges.
