League One

Leg 1: Cheltenham Town v Lincoln, Saturday 15:00: Back Lincoln

A must-win game for Lincoln awaits on Saturday with the trip to Cheltenham, and while there are plenty of dead-rubbers around, this isn't as the Imps are two behind Oxford and five behind Barnsley - plus they have Blackpool breathing down their necks in behind for those two play-off spots.

Michael Skubala's side won at Oxford in midweek with a 0-1 victory and the boss said: "But we thought we could catch them on the counter and hurt them and the players carried out the game plan to perfection."

The win was achieved with just 33% possession, but Lincoln are so strong defensively, they surely have to be considered bankers for Saturday and I am surprised they are not odds-on.

Cheltenham have a horrible record too against Lincoln and are winless in eight league meetings (D3 L5) since a 1-0 League Two victory in October 2017. The Robins have also failed to score at all in their last four outing against the Imps.

KEY OPTA STAT: Lincoln City have won 11 of their 15 league games since 3rd February (D3 L1), the joint-most victories of any side in the EFL during that time alongside League Two's Doncaster Rovers.

Leg 2: Leyton Orient v Fleetwood Town, Saturday 15:00: Back Orient

The appointment of Charlie Adam at Fleetwood hasn't worked out at all and the Cod Army are all but down with two games left.

Adam's anguish at Peterborough on Tuesday wasn't helped by two missed penalties, and any side missing two spot-kicks in a game cannot be in great shape. Indeed, Adam said: "The dressing room is quiet and flat. Of course it's going to be as we're in a position we don't want to be."

Orient have had a fairly good season and a top-half finish after promotion for Riche Wellens will be something to build on for the next campaign. There's a danger of course that the O's have nothing to play, but Fleetwood can barely score a goal with just 12 at home and 22 away.

Fleetwood have won just one of their last 15 away league games (D6 L8) and could lose four successive such games for the first time since March 2022 - which is about a damning stat as you can get. Orient's price at 11/102.11 and Evens in 90 minutes looks more than fair.

KEY OPTA STAT: Fleetwood Town's only previous Football League away game at Leyton Orient saw them win 1-0 in January 2015 courtesy of a Gareth Evans winner.

Leg 3: Charlton v Shrewsbury, Saturday 15:00: Back Charlton

There are some fairly uninspiring games this weekend but siding with Charlton to end on a high at the Valley is the way to go here - despite drawing five of their last six.

Three of their last four games have been against Barnsley, Wigan and Stevenage - all better than Shrewsbury, and reports suggested they played well against the promotion Tykes.

Shrewsbury Town have lost three of their last four away league games at Charlton Athletic (D1), including both of their last two by an aggregate scoreline of 8-0.

We can back the hosts at a shade of odds-on here, and they have scored in nine of their last ten games - only failing to find the net in a 0-0 with Stevenage.

KEY OPTA STAT: Shrewsbury Town have failed to win any of their last five league games (D3 L2), conceding 2+ goals in each of their last three matches; the Shrews haven't suffered a longer winless streak since a run of eight matches between March and April 2023.

League Two

Leg 1: Doncaster Rovers v Barrow, Saturday 15:0: Back Doncaster

Doncaster's run of eight successive wins has pushed them into a play-off contention, and for a side that are flying, we can still back them at nearly Evens for Saturday. With Barrow four points above them already holding a play-off spot, this is a must-win game if ever there was one.

Donny blew away Accrington last weekend with a four goal burst, with Joe Ironside taking his tally to 20 for the season. Maybe it was his manager Grant McCann's stunning volley in training recently that inspired him, as Ironside is one of many players that have improved their game.

Barrow of course are no back-numbers and with 68 points have been floating around the play-off places for a while. But they are without a win in four (losing three) and are much better at home.

KEY OPTA STAT: Doncaster Rovers have won each of their last seven home league matches by a combined scoreline of 14-2. It's their longest home winning run since a run of nine between September 2003 and January 2004.

Leg 2: Notts County v Colchester United, Saturday 15:00: Back Langstaff to Score

Oh Notts County - what could have been. For a team that has scored 88 goals this season, it's astonishing to think they are not even in the top half.

Defensively however they have been appalling, and their games of late has seen them score and concede - including the midweek 2-5 loss against Stockport.

I've been chasing Macaulay Langstaff a few times this season in the Anytime Scorer bet, and he's at 13/102.30 to do so this weekend and 4/15.00 First Goalscorer. He's on 28 for campaign and I wouldn't be surprised if a club from the Championship will be tempted to make a move in the summer.

He netted in midweek and scored on two minutes at Walsall recently, and with him also on penalty duty, we can hopefully make a profit out of the marksman. He scored twice in this reverse fixture earlier in the season too - although the Magpies lost it 5-4.

Notts County's league games have seen more goals than any other side's in the top four tiers of English football this season (173). They're the first team to both score (88) and concede (85) 85+ goals in a league season since Swansea in 1966-67 (F85 A89), so you wouldn't want to be a layer of BTTS.

KEY OPTA STAT: Colchester United have lost just two of their last eight league games (W3 D3), remaining unbeaten across their three away matches during that run.

Leg 3: Sutton Town v Crawley Town, Saturday 15:00: Back Crawley

Crawley's need for three points is just as strong as Sutton's, with the two teams fighting for different reasons. Sutton are in with a puncher's chance of staying up, while Crawley need to secure their own play-off hopes with others in close proximity.

Sutton have lost one in six, but surely they are a false price at 13/102.30 this Saturday? These end of season games often throw up such short odds. The hosts have won two of their last three home league games (L1), as many as across their prior 18 such matches combined. Defeat in this match would see them relegated back to the National League after three campaigns in League Two - hence the price.

Having lost all four League Two clashes with Sutton in 2021-22 and 2022-23, Crawley won this season's reverse meeting 3-0 in September, but the 15/82.88 is tempting here on the visitors.

KEY OPTA STAT: Both of Sutton United's two previous League Two home games saw them win 3-0 in April 2022 and March 2023.
