Southampton will sink slumping Brighton
There are some huge fixtures in the Football League tonight, with the two League One title favourites colliding and Mark Stimson facing former employers Gillingham in a League Two six-pointer. We've picked out five bets to consider...
Bournemouth v Yeovil
Several recent results have hinted that Bournemouth won't still sit beside south coast rivals Brighton and Southampton in the top six come May but they'll surely outshine Yeovil, who have taken a point from their last six games and just two from eight encounters with top-half sides this season.
Recommended Bet: Back Bournemouth to win at [1.81]
Southampton v Brighton
Brighton have had their eight-point lead at the top of League One halved over the last fortnight and have gone four matches without a 90-minute win in all competitions, so it's far from an ideal time to face Southampton, who are unbeaten at home under Nigel Adkins, winning six in a row at St Mary's.
Recommended Bet: Back Southampton to win at [2.0]
Peterborough v Leyton Orient
As we're backing favourites elsewhere, we're ending our League One look with a bet on an outsider. Leyton Orient have lost just twice in ten (at Colchester and Sheffield Wednesday) and had their first away triumph ten days ago at Bristol Rovers, while Peterborough have suffered four defeats in five.
Recommended Bet: Back Leyton Orient to win at [4.1]
Barnet v Gillingham
Both strugglers had fine weekends, Barnet climbing off the bottom with a 4-1 victory and the Gills finally winning away at Oxford. The hosts will leapfrog their visitors with three points and Mark Stimson's extra motivation to get one over his former club could prove to be a difference maker.
Recommended Bet: Back Barnet to win at [2.8]
Macclesfield v Cheltenham
Gary Simpson had the tough task of replacing the much-loved Keith Alexander, who died earlier this year, at Moss Rose and so far he has done an outstanding job. Chesterfield are the only team to have taken more points than them over the last 12 matches, and they've won four straight home games.
Recommended Bet: Back Macclesfield to win at [2.36]
