Now that this week's excitement surrounding that lovely man Sepp Blatter has settled down, oh & there were some important qualifiers to a huge continental competition - not that you'd know with the minimal coverage in the insular UK - we can get back to real football & we're sticking to the lower league action for this week's bets. As ever we're keen for everybody's feedback so leave comments, follow us on Twitter @likebuyingmoney or shout at us in the street - beware we shout back.
In League One, mid table Oldham Athletic entertain struggling Chesterfield at Boundary Park. Oldham under the guidance of rookie manager Paul Dickov come into the match on the back of two straight 3-1 wins & only one defeat in their last six games in all competitions, that defeat came against Bury where they were down to ten men after only ten minutes. They have a mixture of youngster including recent loan arrivals Andreas Mancini & Luca Scapuzzi (from Man City) and experienced pro's in Zander Diamond, Nathan Clarke & leading goalscorer Shefki Kuqi (10 goals in 14 games) as the balance seems to be paying dividends recently. Visitors Chesterfield sit only one point above bottom place Yeovil & incurred further disappointment losing their home FA Cup match against League Two side Torquay 3-1. Chesterfield only have three victories in their 17 league games with their last victory back in September & on the road their record reads one win, one draw & six defeats with 18 goals conceded. We expect Oldham to build on their recent good form at the expense of Chesterfield at evens.
Down in League Two, table toppers Southend United visit Dagenham & Redbridge, back in October Southend came out victorious as the two sides met in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Victoria Road, winning 3-1. Southend are in fantastic form having won their last 4 league games & are unbeaten in their last 10. The whole side is brimming with confidence & the goals have been shared out between them with Ryan Hall, Liam Dickinson, Mark Phillips & Bilel Mohsni with five league goals each. Midfielder Ryan Hall is in red hot form with 4 goals in his last 5 games & in the league a straight three in three. Dag & Red are in free fall currently & are only outside the relegation places on goal difference. Last weekend FA Cup fixture gave them the opportunity to gain a value moral boasting victory against non-league Bath City but could only muster a 1-1 draw after going behind. Dagenham's league form has seen them lose their last six matches with 3 defeats in their last 3 home fixtures with losses to Shrewsbury, Aldershot & Plymouth having conceded 10 goals in the process. We can't see anything but an Southend victory at a best price of 10/11 as they look to stretch their lead over the rest of League Two.
Selections:
Oldham Athletic to beat Chesterfield at evens (Blue Square/Coral)
Southend United to beat Dagenham & Redbridge at 10/11 (Ladbrokes)
Double these to pay odds of just over 3/1
