League One Free Betting Tips
Saturday tip lost as Lens could only manage a 2-2 draw with Strasbourg,
but I will still be keeping an eye on Lens in the next few games as their
recent form has suggested that they are heading in the right direction and
by still offer a bit of value.
Today I am going into League One and the game between Walsall and Leyton
Orient both sides that are pushing for promotion to the Championship.
Walsall are 4th in the league and are on a current run of 16 games
undefeated since their last League defeat a 2-0 home loss to Southend back
in October. Since that time they have steadily climbed the table.
Form wise over the last 6 games they have won 3 and drawn 3 scoring 10 and
conceding 5 and have an overall home record in the league so far of W5 D6
L3 F18 A14 and it has been 11 games since their last home defeat in any
competition.
Orient the opposition tonight are themselves doing well in the league and
are 7th only 2 points behind Walsall, but there are signs that their form
is dipping and the last 6 games have seen 2 wins 2 draws and 2 defeats
scoring 6 and conceding 8.
Their overall away league record to date reads W5 D3 L6 F16 A23 and their
last 2 away games have seen them lose 4-0 at Notts Forest and 2-0 at
Northampton, indeed you have to go back to November for their last away
win a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield and they have only scored 4 away goals
in the last 7 league games.
Surprisingly their have only been 2 head to head clashes between these
sides in recent times both at OrientтАЩs ground with the host winning both
1-0 once in the LDV Van Trophy and the latest back in August so there are
no real indicators to help us on that front.
Team news from both camps at this early stage is that Walsall’s Scott Dann
and Ishmel Demontagnac return after suspension.
The Saddlers hope to have Michael Ricketts available after the on-loan
striker has missed the last four matches with an Achilles problem.
Leyton Orient skipper Stephen Purches (thigh) is in line to start after a
substitute outing at Northampton in the last game and Sean Thornton
(hamstring) limped out of that defeat and is out but Andy Barcham should
play after experiencing no recurrence of a recent head injury.
Given WalsallтАЩs form I think the evens on offer with Boylesport is a good
price for tonightтАЩs encounter and for those who may have a concern over
the number of home games Walsall have drawn (6 out of 14) a saver bet on
the draw at 33/13 with Pinnacle is advised though I personally will be
going for the straight win.
So hopefully a Walsall win will get us back on track,
As ever good luck,
