League One
Matt Bloomfield was fairly pleased with the point earned at Peterborough on Saturday in a dramatic 2-2 result - a game where Wycombe weathered Posh possession in the first-half, but had their own pressure in the second. Brandon Hanlon's physical presence was a constant thorn, and Wanderers keep up their position in the top-half.
Wycombe have won all three of their previous home league games against Bolton; only against Bradford City (first 5), Doncaster Rovers (first 5), and Burnley (first 4) have the Chairboys ever won each of their first three Football League home games against a side before, and after a run of three away, they can take some home comforts back in Buckinghamshire.
While Wycombe appeal for a possible win bet, the BTTS angle is preferred as Bolton have hit five of the last six BTTS bets, and ten of their matches this season have been Over 2.5 Goals.
Wycombe are 1.63 xG at home, while Bolton (a top four side) are 1.66 xG away.
KEY OPTA STAT: Bolton have lost five of their six previous Football League meetings with Wycombe Wanderers, winning the other 3-0 in August 2022.
Reading have only lost one of their last 10 home league games (W3 D6), a 0-1 defeat to Peterborough in August, but they are far from a side to rely on, and I'm quite interested in the draw and a low-scorer for this one.
They have conceded just two at home this term and scored just five with an xA of just 1.11, so preference for the Under 2.5 Goals goes in the treble.
After their 2-0 win at Cheltenham, Fleetwood Town are looking for back-to-back away wins in League One for the first time since October 2022, and while they are 11/53.20 against Reading's 6/52.20, both prices in the outrights look poor value.
Reading have conceded goals on 90mins-plus in their last three games, so keep in mind the 90 minutes betting for the payout, but Town have drawn each of the last four occasions they have faced a side in the Football League for a very first time, doing so against Cambridge United (Sep 2021), Derby County (Aug 2022), Forest Green (Oct 2022), and Carlisle United (Aug 2023).
KEY OPTA STAT: This will be the first ever Football League meeting between Reading and Fleetwood Town; the Cod Army will be the Royals' 109th different Football League opponent.
Port Vale's point at Stevenage on Saturday was a nail in the punting coffin as both League One legs had collected, and they are the biggest price of the two for Tuesday against Peterborough. The question is are they value for a draw at least?
I think they are, as Darren Ferguson's side away from home are W2 D2 L2, and they look a bad price at 6/52.20 to win.
Peterborough are winless in four away league games, after having won four in a row on the road before this, and were a side of two halves against Wycombe on Saturday.
KEY OPTA STAT: Port Vale have lost both of their last two home league matches, having only lost one of their previous six beforehand (W4 D1).
League Two
It might seem to dull to include Notts County every week, but while they keep winning and scoring, why exclude them?
They've scored 30 goals already this season and hit another two at the weekend for a 2-1 success at Gillingham,
Lewis Macari, the 21-year-old grandson of Lou, scored the winner at the Priestfield, and it was deserved as they had all the possession in the game and won the xG battle comfortably too with 1.19 against 0.88 on Saturday.
Newport County have lost five of their six away and have conceded four at Crawley, two at Salford and two at Swindon, so it's hard to see them keeping a clean sheet against one of the most potent attacking forces in the division.
KEY OPTA STAT: Newport County have lost each of their last three away league games, their longest such spell since losing six in succession on the road in March 2020.
A similar sort of match-up to the County game awaits at the Racecourse with Wrexham against a poor Sutton team, who are bottom with just seven points and have lost all six away from home. Wrexham are not the worst 2/51.40 shots ever.
Wrexham's seven home league games this season have seen 41 goals scored (23 for, 18 against), an average of 5.9 per game, which looks formidable for the visitors who have an xG against of 1.60, their highest in all the xG categories home and away.
The hosts have Paul Mullin back, Stephen Fletcher and Elliott Lee, and I'd be surprised if that trio couldn't get on the scoresheet at some point against a team are have conceded 21 in six games away.
KEY OPTA STAT: Sutton United have lost each of their last nine away league matches; the last side to lose 10 in a row on the road in League Two were Macclesfield (11 from March 2012 to September 2018).
Crewe, like Notts County, have a season ticket in this column, but they've been a great source of profit this season on the goals front and they landed us the Over 3.5 Goals on Saturday at 15/82.88 with another high-scorer.

They hit four at Crawley to register another high figure on the xG (2.50 that day), and they really are a goals backer dream at the moment as they've netted 34 times already this season.
Stockport aren't too shabby on that front either and are top with 29 points and Dave Challinor's side are in a great run with eight wins on the bounce. County have only lost one of their last six Football League matches against Crewe (W3 D2), a 0-2 defeat in April 2011.
The Alex remain unbeaten in 14 home league games (W11 D3); they last had a longer unbeaten home run in the Football League in October 1992 (16 matches), so they are no rank outsiders here, and if this is 0-0, I would be amazed.
KEY OPTA STAT: Stockport County have only lost one of their last six Football League matches against Crewe (W3 D2), a 0-2 defeat in April 2011.
