Alan Dudman's League One Tips

Lincoln City v AFC Wimbledon Tip - Back Lincoln and Over 1.5 Goals @ 4/6

Lincoln appear to be running away with the League One title given their seven-point buffer over second-placed Cardiff and they completely dismantled a poor Rotherham team last Saturday, winning 3-0.

With an xA of just 1.16 at Sincil Bank this term and just 16 goals conceded in 20 home games, the task for Wimbledon looks difficult. AFC Wimbledon have played more games on Good Friday without ever winning than any other side in English Football League history (13 - D7 L6) and have lost 10 on the road this season.

Johnnie Jackson's side do concede goals away from home, and with 39 let in away, it's one of the worst in the bottom-half of League Two and have kept just one clean sheet since mid February  - so you would be disappointed if League One's best team couldn't score at least twice here.

Burton Albion v Barnsley Tip - Back Burton Match Odds 90 @ 1/1

Friday 3rd April 15:00, live on Sky Sports+ App

Barnsley are without a win in four heading into the Easter run of game and their wafer-thin squad is well exposed. A poor performance against Doncaster lately has seen their season drift into nothingness.

I can see Burton getting a result here as their home form of late has been fair for a side struggling down in the lower reaches.

They beat Bradford 2-1 at home in their last match at the Pirelli and also gave promotion-chasing Reading a game - losing 1-2 last month conceding an 88th minute goal.

Forward Tyrese Shade's 14 goals for the Brewers and his response after missing a golden chance last weekend against Reading was excellent getting a goal against Bradford. And the way the Brewers dealt with Bradford's threat leads me to stick with the hosts here.

Doncaster Rovers v Mansfield Town Tip - Back Doncaster Match Odds 90 mins @ 11/10

How have Mansfield dropped down to 16th?

They are maddening team and despite winning last Saturday when slamming a dreadful Northampton 4-1, they are just too inconsistent to trust. Nigel Clough's side are not big scorers either on the road with one of the lowest xG figures in the division at 1.00.

Donny have really picked up of late with three wins and two draws from their last five, and are looking to keep four consecutive clean sheets for the first time since March/April 2024. Grant McCann's team structure looks in place now and their shape, especially at the back now looks sounder and are unbeaten at home in their last three.

Alan Dudman's League Two Tips

Chesterfield v Cheltenham Town Tip - Back BTTS 'Yes' @ 8/11

Chesterfield have alternated between defeat (3) and victory (3) in their last six league games, beating Accrington Stanley 1-0 last time out so they are not ones for consistency in terms of a bet.

However, you can usually rely on Paul Cook's men for a goal or two with a home xG of 1.56.

Cheltenham have scored in their last five away games, and while they hit two last week at Notts County, they shipped five at the other end to take their goals conceded away from home to 41. A massive figure. Playing the BTTS 'Yes' at 8/11 looks the play here.

Colchester United v Oldham Athletic Tip - Back BTTS 'No' @ 20/23

Oldham's run of five straight wins was halted last weekend - losing 2-1 at Crewe. However, they had kept three clean sheets from their previous four away and one of those included a fine 0-0 at Bromley.

Colchester have only conceded more than once in one of their last 19 league games, a 3-0 loss at Chesterfield at the beginning of March, so I was initially leaning towards the Under 2.5, but I have failed to be convinced with Colchester at all this season and are winless in their last seven home league games against Oldham (D4 L3), since a 4-1 victory in August 2011.

Grimsby Town v Harrogate Town Tip - Back Grimsby and Over 1.5 Goals @ 4/6

Friday 3rd April 15:00, live on Sky Sports+ App

Only Oldham (18) and Cambridge (16) have kept more clean sheets than Grimsby (15) in League Two this season.

The Mariners last kept more in a single Football League campaign back in 2005-06 (17), and for me have been one of the better teams in League Two this term.

David Artell's men are in a good run too with a bit of a free-hit last weekend when beating Barrow 5-0, but prior had gained two good results against two of the heavier-hitters in the league with a 1-1 against Bromley and a 3-1 success against Salford.

No League Two side have lost more games (24) or scored fewer goals (29) than Harrogate Town this season and Grimsby simply have to see this as three points to maintain their promotion push.
