There is a full programme of matches in League 1 & League 2 taking place on tuesday night and here our thoughts on the games that catch our eye & betting recommendations for the remaining fixtures:

League 1:

Charlton vs Brignton – (Tuesday 7.45pm)

3rd place Charlton welcome 3rd bottom Brighton to what should be a competitive match with both teams desperate for points.

Charlton have struggled slightly in recent weeks but bounced back to form with a solid 2-0 home win over Yeovil & they will be looking to follow up with another home win here.

Brighton are having a terrible run of form at present with the threat of relegation hanging over them & they needs points & wins quickly so they have to be positive for this one.

Charlton have got an excellent home record so they will be confident & Brighton have been much better away from home & very nearly won at Leeds on saturday so this should be a good game as both side will believe they can the result they want.

Charlton have let punters down in recent weeks when fancied at odds on to win only to fail so they are not a team to carried away with but nevertheless they should ultimatley prove too strong for a struggling Brighton side & Charlton look a fair bet to win this.

Betting Recommendations:

Outright Match Result: Charlton to win

Correct Score options: Charlton to win 2-0/2-1

First Goalscorer options: Bailey/Shelvey/Mooney

Leeds United vs Oldham Athletic – (Tuesday 7.45pm)

Not so long ago, Leeds United had just beaten Manchester United in the F.A. Cup & were 1/6 to win League One has they held a big points lead but their form has faltered badly & this match against and Oldham side who need the points will not be easy.

Leeds United go into this game in 2nd place 3 points behind Norwich City with a game in hand & the one, clear objective they have is to get back to winning ways.

Leed United’s recent form has been poor & inconsistent and they had to rely on yet another late goal to scrape a 1-1 draw at home to lowly Brighton at the weekend so clearly they have to improve.

That late goal will probably give the Leeds players a massive boost going into this game because it was very much a point gained in the end & we are expecting Leeds to really go for the win in this one because they need to start winning again to put the pressure on Norwich at the top.

Oldham sit 6th bottom of League 1 only 1 point outside the relegation zone so clearly they need all the points they can get right now.

The 1-0 defeat Colchester on saturday was their 8th away league defeat of the season from their 15 away games & worryingly for Oldham they have only scored 12 away goals so far this season.

That failure to score enough goals makes it tough to win matches but the one positive they have is that they are comparitively tight defensively & that gives them a chance to get draws & a draw at Leeds would definitely be a bonus.

The odds suggest this will be an easy win for Leeds United & while we don’t necessarily like taking long odds-on about teams with inconsistent form, Leeds United do look the obvious bet to win this & get 3 massive points in their title chase.

Betting Recommendations:

Outright Match Result: Leeds United to win

Correct Score options: Leeds United to win 2-0/2-1

First Goalscorer each way/Player to score anytime: Beckford/Becchio/Snodgrass

Norwich City vs Southend United – (Tuesday 7.45pm)

This game represents a total contrasts in fortunes with Norwich City flying high at the top of the table while Southend struggle both on the field for form & have massive financial problems so it will be fascinating to see how it unfolds.

Norwich City have been absolutely fantastic this season playing fantastic, entertaining football & scoring goals for fun on their way to the top of the League 1 table.

67 goals is a fantastic return already & their style of play suggests they will score plenty more & they will certainly view this game as a perfect opportunity to do that & go for another vital win.

Grant Holt, Chris Martin & Wes Hoolahan have been the real stars for Norwich City this season & their combination plays up front will present a massive test for Southend’s defence & they definitely look like being the key players for Norwich City here.

The extra motivation for Norwich City is that this game gives them a great opportunity to bounce back after their disappointingt 2-0 defeat at home to Southampton & we are expecting a really emphatic response here.

Southend’s season goes from bad to worse as they slide down the table towards relegation & more seriously face the very real prospect of going out of business altogether so this is not a good time to be connected to Southend.

Obviously the Southend players cannot do anything about the financial situation & they have to get on with trying to keep Southend up but that looks tough as they sit only 1 point above the relegation zone & with confidence draining from the side week by week.

The real hammer blow to Southend in terms of their football came when they had to sell their top goalscorer Lee Barnard & that really has affected their ability to score goals & get results so it is going to be very tough for them.

Unfortunately from a betting perspective, Norwich City are long odds-on to win this but those odds are actually a fair reflection & they really do look a rock solid bet to win this with comfort & get amongst the goals again.

Betting Recommendations:

Outright Match Result: Norwich City to win

Correct Score options: Norwich City to win 3-1/4-1

First Goalscorer each way/Player to score anytime: Holt/Martin/Hoolahan

Wycombe vs Southampton – (Tuesday 7.45pm)

Another example of two teams experiencing vastly different seasons as Wycombe fight off relegation take on Southampton who are really pushing for a play-off spot so both teams are chasing the points & this should be a fascinating match.

Wycombe have had a nightmare season so far & in all honesty that nightmare looks set to continue right to the end of the season as relegation does look virtually certain for them as they sit 2nd bottom & 5 points adrift of safety.

A record that includes 17 defeats with 57 goals conceded already & with 9 defeats at home suggests they face a massive struggle for the rest of the season & particularly in this match against such a potent attacking side as Southampton.

Wycombe have at least been playing with spirit & determination recently and they do come into this match with the much needed confidence boost from beating Millwall 1-0 on saturday so that should at least make them competitive here.

Southampton have been fantastic this season with their open, attacking approach helping them to produce entertaining football & scoring goals wherever they go so they will fancy their chances in this one.

Their season achieved new heights on saturday with their fantastic performance to win 2-0 away at league leaders Norwich City & that win should give the Southampton players another massive confidence boost going into this match.

Lambert, Lalana, Waigo, Connelly & Barnard are all players who carry massive attacking threat & eye for goal for Southampton & their real strength is that they can get goals from all departments of the team.

Wycombe are desperate for all the points they can get so they are certain to scrap here but Southampton will expect that & be ready to deal with and in turn their extra quality should ultimately be the difference here and that makes Southampton a rock solid bet to win this.

Outright Match Result: Southampton to win
