Huddersfield - Doncaster @ 2.35 ExpektThe home side seems another that blows hot and cold. On their day they can achieve results but they're prone to suddenly leaking goals (4-1 defeat at Oldham last game). Last home game is an impressive looking 2-1 win over Brighton which they followed up with another good win, 2-3 at Bristol Rovers. They look pretty safe to me now on 52 points, 9 ahead of 4th bottom Gillingham so that gives promotion chasing Doncaster a chance of stealing another narrow victory on the road as they have done quite often this season. They're sitting 3 points off 2nd place and must be thinking about more than a draw here, especially with Carlilse having what looks a straightforward victory tomorrow. True, Doncaster don't score many but they're tight (one of the tighest away from home) and another 0-1 seems a likely enough outcome to me.
Leyton Orient - Leeds @ 2.30 Ladbrokes
No doubting Leeds have been impressive this season, both home and away. It's hard to back against them at Orient who are on a run of 3 consecutive defeats and off the pace when it comes to playoff places. Leeds on the other hand are only a point behind Tranmere in 6th and can certainly overcome Orient after beating a hard as nails Doncaster 0-1 in their last game. Leeds are another side who aren't banging in many goals in recent weeks so it'll probably be a bit tighter than I'd hope but I think they can nick it and stay hard on the heels of Tranmere.
Swansea - Bournemouth @ 1.50 Bluesq
Swansea needing a win to be guaranteed at least a playoff place but it would all but seal automatic promotion you'd have to think with them already 7 points in front of 2nd. It would take a real disaster for them to blow it anyway. So, we should expect them to be going for the victory against another poor travelling side in Bournemouth. I see they've lost their last 4 away despite doing rather well at home these days (4 wins in a row there). Some teams simply cannot carry form both home and away. Odds for Swansea are pretty short as you can imagine - mainly 1.40-1.45 but I can see a couple of 1.5's about which aint too bad. The only thing to worry about is Bournemouth suddenly thinking they're at home.
Northampton - Luton @ 1.91 Stan James
Rock hard Northampton home to a Luton who appear to be on their way dooooown. In fact they will be if they fail to win and other results go against them. Northampton should really put them out of their misery. The home side will probably still have playoff ambitions too so I don't expect them to go easy. They did suffer a couple of back to back defeats recently but it was against 2nd and 4th top so I totally forgive them. Minus those results their form is splendid and at home they're no mugs (hammered Swansea 4-2 not long ago which aint half hot mum) so for moi, it's a home win all the way bar some crazy Luton black magic.
