League 2 Midweek Preview

Posted by Scorecaster in League Two.

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:

Bury vs Morecambe – (Tuesday 7.45pm)

This is a very important fixture as 2nd place Bury welcome play-off chasing Morecambe to what should be a really interesting match.

Bury have been on a fantastic run of form that has taken them 2nd place in League 1 & definitely in with a real chance of automatic promotion & quite possibly a chance at winning the League 2 title.

Another solid 1-0 win over Shrewsbury Town showed the great team spirit & determination to win that Bury have within their squad and certainly this home match represents another fantastic opportunity to get 3 more vital points.

Bury have got an excellent home record with 9 wins & 2 draws so far this season with an ability to be very well organised defensively, hard to break down with an attacking threat that gives them the chance to win matches & get positive results.

Morecambe come into this match needing a win to help bounce back after their disappointing performance in losing 2-0 away at struggling Cheltenham Town on saturday.

That performance & result was terrible and team confidence must have taken a hit after that & they will need to shake that off if they are to get anything from this game.

Morecambe are a capable side who have the attacking ability to get a result but an away record of only 3 wins from 15 away matches is a big concern & a draw is possibly the best they can hope for here.

This is going to be competitive & certainly Bury will not find it easy going against Morecambe but Bury’s home form is strong & with team confidence high, Bury do look well worth a bet to take the 3 points.

Betting Recommendations:

Outright Match Result: Bury to win

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

First Goalscorer each way/Player to score anytime: Lowe/Morrell/Worrall

Aldershot Town vs Dagenham – (Tuesday 7.45pm)

Both Aldershot & Dagenham hold hopes of reaching the play-offs so the 3 points at stake here are vital to both teams & this looks set to be a really competitive game.

Only two points separate Aldershot & Dagenham which suggests this is going to be a close battle & both need the win if they are to stay in the hunt for a play-off spot so we are expecting both teams to go for it here.

In terms of recent form Aldershot definitely have the edge over Dagenham who have slumped in recent weeks & Aldershot also have the psychological bonus of having already beaten Dagenham this season so that could be an important factor as well.

The most important factor could well the comparative home & away records with Aldershot having a superb home record of only 1 defeat in 15 matches scoring 31 goals while Dagenham have only won 3 from their 14 away matches scoring only 11 goals.

This will be competitive & both sides look to play positive football so it should be entertaining but in terms of the result we cannot look past Aldershot given their impressive home record & they look a great value bet to win this & make it 9 home wins for the season.

Betting Recommendations:

Outright Match result: Aldershot to win
