Midweek League One and League Two Tips: Imps to keep on rolling for a 15/2 treble | OneFootball

EFL League One & League Two

Can Alan find more winners on Tuesday night?

Alan Dudman landed a multiple in his Saturday EFL tipsheet at 11/2 and also netted five out of six winners at the weekend, and our lower league man previews a busy night on Tuesday...

League One

Reading v Exeter City, Tuesday 19:45: Back Reading @ 11/10

With Exeter in tenth spot and Reading three places below them, neither are going to trouble the playoff spots come the spring, but the Royals have been better since mid-December in terms of results and with their home form, look more of a bet than the Grecians in midweek.

They had the Tykes pinned back a fair bit in the game and recent signing Haydon Roberts scored in debut midway through the second-half, and they do look a side with a goal in them with Jack Marriott who has five in seven and was quite tempted with the 15/8 Anytime Scorer price on Marriott.

Fellow new boy Ryan Nyamble also made an impact from off the bench to provide an assist and he could be pushing for a start for this evolving team under Leam Richrdson.

Home form for Reading reads seven wins and it might just be good enough.

Lincoln v Bradford, Tuesday 19:45: Back Lincoln @ 19/20

The great Dutch team of the 1970s was known as "La Maquina Naranje", and we're close to getting the red machine version, or "La Marquina Rojo".

Lincoln keep churning out results with the efficiency of an accountant presented with a tricky number of tax returns. The Imps last lost in the league back in November and the last time they failed to score in a match home and away was on the 8th of that month.

Their physicality and direct nature is too hot for most and a home record of W10 L1 conceded just 14 puts them hot on the heels of leaders Cardiff for the title and at 19/20 should be a little shorter.

Huddersfield v Luton Town, Tuesday 19:45: Back Huddersfield @ 11/10

We went with Liam Manning on Saturday, and the new Huddersfield boss didn't let us down with a 1-0 win against Bradford - although playing with 10 men for the majority of the second half made it a nervy time.

Unusually for a Manning team, they had the least amount of accurate passes, but I wouldn't get too bogged down in that, as the red obviously impacts that. But they kept Bradford to an xG of just 0.16, which for a team playing with a men less deserves some credit.

Indeed, in Linked In speak, we could say Manning's renovation and retention binary embedded options were optimised goal solutions.

I still am unsure of Luton, who often are shorter in the betting than they should be and their away form has hardly been impressive with seven losses.

League Two

MK Dons v Bristol Rovers, Tuesday 19:45: Back MK Dons @ 4/6

Paul Warne's MK Dons recorded a thumping 5-1 success against Shrewsbury on Saturday - a real tale of budgets with the "haves" smashing the "have nots".

Callum Paterson's first-half hat-trick (his first ever) set them on their way and Warne was most pleased afterwards saying: "The back line were pretty flawless and I liked the feel of our midfield today.

"It was backed up by the threat in-behind by the wing-backs and strikers, and I think the third goal, we try to work it in training but that was as picture perfect a goal we can score."

This might be entertaining on the sidelines with Steve Evans, but the Scot has taken on a tough job here and they've lost three on the spin coming into Tuesday and the xG numbers do not lie with a paltry 1.18 for the Gas on the road.

Salford v Chesterfield, Tuesday 19:45: Back Salford @ 19/20

Goals might be in short supply with Rovers, but won't be with these two. The BTTS is short at 13/20 although Chesterfield let me down in a recent column with a BTTS first half bet against Bromley - a game that finished 0-0 and their only 0-0 of the entire season.

The Spirerites got back to scoring ways on Saturday, but were 2-1 losers at struggling Newport and with 24 conceded on the road, they have one of the costliest defences in League Two.

Not ideal taking on a rampant Salford, who will have a good number of chances here surely with the way they attack games.

Karl Robinson's side hold one of the best xG figures at home in the division at 1.92, are second on 49 points, and are six League Two wins from their last seven and are impossible to oppose.

Bromley v Crewe, Tuesday 19:45: Back Bromley @ 4/6

4/6 it's not a bad number considering Barnet at home are a measly 8/15.

Indeed, Barnet have lost five at home, Bromley none - yet we can back the Ravens at a bigger price and hopefully the efforts of Saturday's huge 2-1 win over Swindon won't dent their fitness levels. Andy Woodman said after the weekend his team are the fittest in League Two with the strongest mentality in the division to boot.

Prior to that Swindon victory, Bromley were held to a 0-0 against Chesterfield, but they'd previously won seven on the spin with three clean sheets in that run (four from eight including Chesterfield).
