Coventry v Oxford

  • None of the nine league meetings between Coventry City and Oxford United have ended as a draw (six Coventry wins, three Oxford wins).
  • Coventry have lost just one of their last eight league games (W5 D2), a 1-2 defeat against Burton Albion earlier this month.
  • Karl Robinson has won just one of his eight league matches against Coventry, winning 2-1 with MK Dons in April 2014 (W1 D3 L4).
  • There have been just 39 goals scored at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena in League One this season (21 for, 18 against) – fewer than ground in the competition.

Crawley v Lincoln

(video no longer available)

Lincoln are edging closer to promotion to Sky Bet League One. The Imps sit ten points clear of third place with 24 still left to play for.

They should grab another three points here against a Crawley side who have struggled for large parts of the current campaign. They're down in 18th but shouldn't have any relegation trouble.

Town were also hammered 6-1 by Crewe last time out. In total, they have won just one of their last eight fixtures, that gives puts them 21st in the form charts over the last ten games.

I saw Crawley play Grimsby a couple of weeks ago and while the home side won the game, one of the things that stood out to me was the fact that Grimsby could beat the opposition full-backs with relative ease.

I tipped Bruno Andrade to score on Monday night. He may not have found the net, but he was lively throughout the 90 minutes and had a few decent efforts on goal.

In a game such as this, Andrade can thrive and add to his already impressive tally this season. That was recognised as he won the Player of the Month award for February.

He's shown little issue in making the step-up following a summer switch from Boreham Wood, another player from non-league who has adapted to life in the EFL.

Andrade does have previous history with the likes of QPR and Stevenage, but his form for Boreham caught the eye and that's why Lincoln made a move.

It's a move that has worked out for both parties. He has nine goals and eight assists from the left-wing role, although he has been playing on the right in recent weeks.

He switched back to the left recently, which includes the game against Mansfield, and I'd back him to have opportunities to cut inside and find the net at the People's Pension Stadium.

At a general price of 3/1, the value is there in backing the Lincoln man to strike the net.

Best bet:

  • Crawley Town have never previously lost to Lincoln City in three League Two meetings, winning the last two (D1).
  • Lincoln City lost their only previous visit to Crawley in League Two 1-3 in February 2018.
  • Crawley have won just one of their last eight League Two games (D4 L3). Failing to score in half of those games.

  • Lewis Young has been directly involved in each of Crawley’s last three home goals in League Two (one goal, two assists). Indeed, seven of his eight goal involvements this season have been in home games (one goal, six assists).

MK Dons v Yeovil

.

They've hit that margin on multiple occasions last season, while Yeovil conceded three in their last away game against Port Vale.

Best bet:

  • Yeovil have failed to score in each of their last three away games in League two (L3), they last failed to score in four consecutive league games in April 2009 (A run of seven in the third tier – D1 L6).
