L1, L2 & Scottish Predictions > Jan 27th - 31st

[StevieDay1983]

I had hoped that by this morning the odds would be available for both the weekend matches and the smattering of midweek matches but it was not to be. So I've got the odds that are available but luckily our ratings provide an insight into the midweek games coming up.

I'll get my preview up shortly for this weekend and will get a midweek one up as well. In the mean time, give us your thoughts on the matches coming up over the next few days in League 1, League 2, SPL, and Scottish Championship.

Taken one a bit early for me...Plymouth 4.12 away to Oldham, who they've beaten convincingly earlier in the season. Plymouth's wins are few, but they're nearly all against sides clustered at the bottom of the table, so this strikes me as a really good price.

[allthethings]

Barnet 4.55 away to Cheltenham. There really hasn't been that much of a change from last year to this, except that Barnet can't win away. I'm going to take a shot at this borderline ridiculous price.

Crewe 4.85 away to Swindon. Same story, and though I expect Swindon to start putting together a decent string of wins at home, they fit right into League Two with a much better mark away than at home.

Ross County vs Rangers

It seems that Rangers are finally starting to settle down under the guidance of Graeme Murty since he was installed as the full-time manager. Their win against Aberdeen was perhaps a little more comfortable than many would have first expected. Murty's business during the January transfer window appears to have been shrewd. His side will head to bottom-placed Ross County full of confidence and taking on a team that really can't buy a win right now.

Ross County are on an 11 game run without a win since 4th November, 2017. That has included failing to hit the back of the net in their last three matches. That's equivalent to roughly 306 minutes since they scored their last competitive goal. Dire times at Dingwall! This is a game they could do without right now against a team they really don't want to face.

I'm going to back Rangers to get a solid win here and for County's awful run to continue. They are only 6 points from safety at the moment but if they don't start turning results around soon then they will be staring Championship football in the face before they know it.

I think Wycombe and Newport have better chances than the odds would indicate, I’m waiting to see where the money goes late.

[dogmeister]

Seen the Celtic team and Rodgers at last has dumped McGregor onto the bench and brought Koussi in, who is a player..   Brown now doesnt have to do the job of two players in the middle. Hearts pressed and bullied Celtic in that 4-0 drubbing at tyncastle but even playing poorly Celtic missed a few sitters. Rodgers has recognised Levein sets up to win games dirty, and keep it tight. This Celtic side will not be booted off the park tonight. 3-5-2 with Sinclair and McGregor dropped. Revenge factor coupled with full house and the capture of a real talent in Musonda who willl come off the bench. This Celtic team have been waiting for this game, i think Hearts are in for a long night. Celtic -1 is a strong bet IMO.

Newport 4.62, Wycombe 3.80.

Exeter vs Forest Green Rovers

The odds seem a little skewed here. Exeter are 9th in the League Two table, just 1 point off the play-off spots, and have won three of their last four league matches. Forest Green Rovers are lying down in 23rd place, 1 point off safety, and have lost 2 of their last 9 competitive matches. Yet, Exeter are ranked as 1.85 favourites. I thought they would be lower.

The home side have been busy over the past couple of weeks with transfers. Tottenham's Ryan Loft, West Brom's Kyle Edwards, and West Brom's Kane Wilson have all signed loan deals with the club or extended their current loan deals. Forest Green Rovers have also brought in West Brom striker Tahvon Campbell, goalkeeper Cameron Belford, and Grimsby midfielder Chris Clements.

I really can't see anything other than an Exeter win here. Forest Green Rovers are in trouble and they simply have not done enough business during the transfer window to see their fortunes change right now. I'm backing Exeter to seal a business-like victory here provided they treat their opponents with respect.
