Re: Sky Bet League 2 > February 4th - 8th Northampton - Plymouth League 2 England Saturday 8/2 16:00 Prediction: Northampton Odds: 2,70 Stake: 4/10 units Bookmaker: Ladbrokes Bottom placed Northampton at home to Plymouth at 12th place. It's two teams with rather weak form, however we expect to see Northampton raise in the table, out of relegation zone. They have recently changed manager, they brought in C.Wilder from Oxford were he did a great job! Northampton has also brought in 5 new players which will strenghtened the squad. They have alo placed quite decent the last few matches. This will be the first homematch for Northampton under new coach Wilder. Plymouth is a rather weak away side, only winning 3 out of 13 matches on the road. For this game also missing plenty of players: http://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/Seven-players-Argyle-travel-Northampton/story-20576121-detail/story.html All in all, we expect Northampton to start performing now, and this is the first game at home for them under new coach. Also Plymouth has some important missings, and are weak on the road. We are prepared to give Northampton around 40% chance here so we back Northampton!

Re: Sky Bet League 2 > February 4th - 8th Wycombe - Accrington League 2 England Saturday 8/2 16:00 Prediction: Wycombe Odds: 2,30 Stake: 4/10 Bookmaker: Ladbrokes Very important game in the bottom of the table. Wycombe at 22nd place at home to Accrington at 18th place. Only 3 points seperates the teams, even though Accrington has a game in hand. The teams has identical goaldifference 32-38. Wycombe has prepared well for this match, they speak about at it a huge game and all players has really put the effort during this week training seasons. Accrington has won 2 matches in a row, and has quite decent form only losing 1 match out of the last 7. However, we don't trust Accrington. They do silly mistakes, which is normal for a young side like theirs. Wycombe is also boosted by the return of key striker, D.Morgan. We give Wycombe a decent chance here to get their first win since 21/12.

Re: Sky Bet League 2 > February 4th - 8th Dagenham & Red - Hartlepool League 2 England Saturday 8/2 16:00 Prediction: Degenham & Red Odds: 2,74 Stake: 5/10 units Bookmaker: PinnacleSports Degenham placed 9th in the table, at home to Hartlepool at 15th place. Degenham comes to this game with a very strong performance away to solid Rochdale, a game the Daggers won 1-0. Before that a couple of strong performances at home to top sides like Southend and Scunthorphe were they drew in both matches. So its a homeside with good form, 3rd strongest in the divison at home soil. Degenham are very quick going forward with plenty of offensive threats. Hartlepool weak on the road only winning 3 out of 13 matches. Weak form, losing 4 out of the last 6 matches. We are not to impressed by Hartlepool and we can really see them struggle here. We expect Hartlepool to come here playing defensively, with Degenham in comand. All in all, homeside has the offensive threats to break down Harlepool. We are going against the market movements here, Homewin for us! 2,74 very tempting.

Re: Sky Bet League 2 > February 4th - 8th AFC Wimbledon - Rochdale League 2 England Saturday 8/2 16:00 Prediction: Rochdale Odds: 2,50 Stake: 5/10 Bookmaker: Ladbrokes AFC Wimbledon at 10th place at home to Rochdale placed 6th. Hometeam a young and inconsistent side, for this game they have had a challening training week with flu in the team: "- With 3 games scheduled in 7 days this will be a testing time for the Dons squad which has apparently been ravaged by flu this week. In addition to the long-term injuries of Strutton, Frampton, and Sweeney, the Dons will be without Kennedy, while Morris and Antwi are doubts and the whole of the Dons squad have had flu jabs to prevent further casualties" Rochdale is a solid side, has played some tough teams lately and been quite OK. Usually not at their best on the road, but we think this looks like a good chance. Wimbledon is to inconsistent, a young and bit naive squad that often makes easy mistakes. Rochdale better at almost all positions, a more balanced and solid side. Also sickness in the homeside this week which quite clearly could/would effect team selection and training preparations. Rochdale for us!

Re: Sky Bet League 2 > February 4th - 8th Morecambe V Burton - 0.25 @ 2.02 - bet365. Burton are worth a small play, although nothing major here as Morecambe are usually pretty tough to beat and given their small squad, manager Jim Bentley has worked wonders. He's done well to bring in a bit of experience with right back Shaun Beeley joining on loan from Fleetwood, but it's in midfield where they're hit hard today. Midfield regulars Alex Kenyon (25/0) and Andy Fleming (25/2) miss out though suspension and injury respectively. They're still without defender Andy Parish (26/0) too. They've got others playing with knocks too. Captain Mark Hughes has been struggling recently, and Kevin Ellison probably won't have trained much due to the weather. Burton are at virtually full strength here, and may have too much here. It's only a bet I'd consider due to the missings in midfield

Re: Sky Bet League 2 > February 4th - 8th Mansfield V Southend - 0.25 @ 2.05 - bet365. Fancy Southend to get their promotion push back on track. Mansfields have a pretty dire home record, having failed to win in nine home league fixtures, and are today without a bit of experience at the back in defender Lee Beevers. Southend have the toughest defence in the league for me, and Mansfield have a tendancy to concede a fair few at home. I'd make Southend's goal supremacy higher than Mansfield's here, which makes them a good bet as Southend are very tough to beat. Southend have made some interesting signings in January, with Lee Barnard re-joining on loan. Midfielder Bedsente Gomis joined from Almeria. Defender Luke O'Neil joined on loan from Burnley too having previously been on loan at York this season.
