Our League One & League Two Tips for the Weekend - 26/3/22

Though Sheffield Wednesday’s form has dipped in recent weeks, with just one win in their last four games, their home form since the turn of the year has been exceptional.

The Owls have bagged 14 goals in their past four home games, meaning they have averaged over 3.5 goals a game during that stretch of fixtures, and we back them to continue their fine goalscoring form and find the back of the net at least twice this weekend.

Last time out Cheltenham were comfortably beaten 2-0 by Plymouth, another team in the race for the playoffs, and though Cheltenham have won three out of their last five games, we fancy Wednesday to score at least two at Hillsborough on Saturday.

This bottom half of the table clash should provide plenty of entertainment at the New Meadow this Saturday.

The Shrews come into this match off the back of two remarkable results, which saw them batter Morecambe 5-0 at home and then go to league leaders Rotherham United and win 3-0 at the New York Stadium.

We’re backing the Shrews to continue this fine vein of form and come out comfortable winners at home to Lincoln this weekend.

Though Lincoln only sits two places below Shrewsbury in the table, the Shrew's recent form is too good to ignore, Lincoln, on the other hand, have only won two of their last nine games. The previous fixture between these two sides ended 1-1 back in October. Though both sides are in similar positions in the table, we’re expecting a home victory for Shrewsbury Town.

Plymouth Argyle comes into this game as the most in-form team in the division, winning six games in a row, and conceding no goals in the process.

However, the Mariners face a much improved Ipswich Town side, managed by former Manchester United coach, Kieran Mckenna. Town are looking to extend their unbeaten run to 11 games. Plymouth won't be an easy task for the Tractor Boys, that's why we think a draw provides some good value at 13/5.

An incredibly tough game to call, with both sides in excellent form, though Ipswich are not the most prolific of sides, their strong defence against Plymouth’s free-scoring attack should be an interesting battle.

Bradford, who are now managed by former Manchester City manager, Mark Hughes, welcomes in-form Newport County to Valley Parade this Saturday, in a game that looks to be a tight contest on paper.

The Bantams, who currently sit 15th in League Two will be hoping to build upon improved recent results, as they begin to look forward to next season. Though they lost last time out at home to Port Vale, their recent form under Hughes has been impressive and includes a 2-0 win away at League Two leaders, Forest Green. Because of this improvement to recent form this game is a tough one to call, that's why we've chosen a goal scorer market for this match.

Newport Country striker Dominic Telford has been in fine form this season, averaging a goal every 78 minutes for the Exiles, with 24 goals in 29 games so far. Telford is just 13/10 to bag his 25th goal of the season against Bradford on Saturday.

Second-placed Exeter City welcomes one of the relegation favourites in Stevenage to St James’ Park this weekend, in what looks to be a straightforward game for The Grecians.

Exeter are in good form and are unbeaten in five league games and haven't lost at home in the league since the 7th of December. In comparison, Stevenage who have won once in 11, look to be on their way to non-league football next season.

The race for the play-off positions is incredibly tight and this game has implications at both ends of the table, Exeter’s need for a win is just as great as Stevenage’s. Exeter are understandably at short odds for this game as they are heavy favourites.
