League One - Best Bets
League One looks a reasonably tough set of fixtures to find any real bankers, so Scunthorpe could be worth considering for small stakes when they travel to Bradford. It's a massive fixture for both sides, as they look to cement their positions in the play-off spaces, and the Iron are getting into a really nice run now with five wins and three draws in their last eight. Of course, they've played Northampton three times in that spell, which has helped, but they can only beat what is put in front of them.
Bradford are enjoying a decent season themselves, but recent home defeats to Charlton, Rotherham and Plymouth have exposed some frailties, and that's enough to convince us that the 12/5 available on Scunthorpe is worth a small stakes bet on Tuesday.

Staying towards the top of the division, we're convinced Oxford are being under-rated ahead of their clash with Blackburn. Making a case is going to difficult however - given that Blackburn are now unbeaten in seven, but we'll have a go!
This bet is all about the price, so we won't try to convince you Blackburn are no good. They are putting this little run together nicely and seem to have overcome the early season nerves that perhaps troubled them as pre-season favourites.
Oxford themselves have been in a difficult run, with four defeats in succession prior to last week's 4-0 win down at Plymouth, but they won't be too concerned given that two of those four reversals came in cup competitions which they will be happy to be out of.
When push comes to shove, Blackburn have just two more points than Oxford this season, and a +12 goal difference compared to +9. There aren't vast gulfs in class between the teams, so odds on the home side of 27/10 are simply too big.
