PLYMOUTH VS CARDIFF

Under the management of Tom Cleverley, Plymouth have moved up to 12th, and they come into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins against Blackpool and Leyton Orient; Argyle scored seven goals during the two wins. League leaders Cardiff have won three on the bounce; they’re four points clear of Lincoln in second.

Betting Tip: Cardiff Win – 5/4 – BetMGM

ROTHERHAM VS DONCASTER

Both Rotherham and Doncaster have had disappointing campaigns so far. The Millers are sitting in the relegation zone in 23rd, and Rovers are five places above them in 18th. Doncaster impressed last time out, securing three points against promotion contenders Huddersfield.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 79/100 – High Bet

WYCOMBE VS STEVENAGE

After reaching the play-offs last season, Wanderers have had a slightly disappointing campaign, currently sitting in tenth. Stevenage have dropped out of the play-off places due to recent inconsistency. However, they come into this fixture on the back of two wins, so they’ll be looking to build momentum. Wycombe and Stevenage have gone 10 straight matches without a draw.

Betting Tip: Stevenage Win – 10/3 – 247 Bet

AFC WIMBLEDON VS BRADFORD CITY

AFC Wimbledon are sitting in 16th with seven points from their last five. Bradford have bounced back from a difficult run with consecutive wins against Peterborough and Stockport; Graham Alexander’s side kept clean sheets in both of these wins.

Betting Tip: Bradford Win – 11/8 – BetMGM

BOLTON VS BLACKPOOL

Prior to their recent two draws, Bolton managed to secure three wins in a row. Steven Schumacher’s side has had a positive campaign so far; they’re eight points away from an automatic promotion place. Blackpool are just two points clear of the relegation zone; they managed to secure three points against Mansfield last time out.

Betting Tip: Barnsley To Score The First Goal – 7/5 – 247 Bet

LUTON VS BURTON

Overall, Luton Town have looked much better under the management of Jack Wilshere. However, the Hatters have lost their last two against Cardiff and Wigan. Luton have a strong home record in the league with nine wins, four draws and three losses at Kenilworth Road. Burton are just two places above the relegation zone, but they come into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 home win against Rotherham.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 5/6 – BetMGM

MANSFIELD VS LINCOLN

Mansfield hosts in-form Lincoln in what promises to be an entertaining match. The Stags have struggled with consistency throughout the season; they’re currently 15th and without a win from their last five. The Imps have surprised many this season; Michael Skubala’s side are second, just four points behind league leaders Cardiff. Lincoln has been excellent defensively, conceding just two goals in their last five.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals - 16/25 – High Bet

PETERBOROUGH vs EXETER

Peterborough have shown huge improvement under Luke Williams; they’ve moved up to 11th. However, Posh have lost their last two, so they’ll aim to bounce back. Exeter have scored just three goals from their last five, and the Grecians have drawn four of their last five.

Betting Tip: Draw – 5/2 – BetMGM

PORT VALE vs READING

Port Vale are at the bottom of the table, with 17 losses so far, and Jon Brady’s side are 12 points away from safety. Reading will be looking to build some momentum as they aim for the play-offs; the Royals have won three of their last five and sit just two points away from the play-off places.

Betting Tip: Reading Win – 129/100 – High Bet

STOCKPORT vs WIGAN

After reaching the play-offs last season, the Hatters will aim to go one further and secure promotion. Stockport are currently fifth in the table.
