In-play football insights, Betfair trading setups, match stats and predictive angles based on data.
Welcome to another eletter. No Premier League this weekend as the International Break and the small matter of World Cup Qualifiers enters the equation. Bad news for Ireland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Pipe and Slippers for Scotland and England.
Today is dominated with English League One and English League Two. At this stage of the season, look for ‘stories’ . It’s the Business End of the Season and teams could literally change their fortunes with a well timed 3 points today. Let’s take a look
- Blackpool v Burton is a good old fashioned relegation six pointer. Blackpool are in the relegation places
- Similar story Exeter and Leyton Orient with Exeter in the relegation places and Leyton Orient sensing the relegation sides’ breath at the back of their neck
- Reading simply must win , to catapult themselves into the 60+ point club which is the entry point for the play offs. Their opponents Wigan are a little too near the relegation places.
- Stockport are in the play offs but must stave off attacks from teams just outside of these precious places.
- With Port Vale bottom of the league, Wycombe’s 3 points today takes them to within one point of the play offs.
The above are League One ‘angles today. As a trader, these are important to know as they will give context to the match, particularly if the likes of Reading concede the first goal. Their carrot is so big that we might get the fight we need for an equaliser….
Enjoy the ‘International Break’. European League football returns next week, although in England the FA Cup takes over the Coupon.
