Football – England – League One Betting Tips

Bristol Rovers’ play-off ambitions took a bit of a dent following their 3-1 loss away at Gillingham on Good Friday but they’ll be keen to resurrect their chances of a top seven finish this afternoon when they play host to bottom half outfit Oldham Athletic.

Rovers had previously recorded back-to-back wins over Shrewsbury Town and AFC Wimbledon and whilst things aren’t quite at the desperation stage, The Pirates will be wanting to make home advantage count here.

The home side hold a good record of  12-6-3  38/22 at the Memorial Ground and they’re unbeaten in their last 11 league matches on home turf, which includes having won their last three on the trot with victories against Southend United, Chesterfield and Shrewsbury Town.

Visitors Oldham Athletic did their chances of avoiding relegation no harm at all on Saturday when they recorded a vital 1-0 home win over Lancashire rivals and second placed Bolton Wanderers which lifted The Latics up into a safer 17th place in League One.

The win over Bolton followed on from another win over another Lancashire outfit, Fleetwood Town, as Oldham recorded a 2-0 home win on that occasion too, but they still face a difficult task on the road on Easter Monday having racked up a disappointing away record of  4-7-10  12/25 to date this season.

They’ve also struggled against top half teams on the road too with a record of  0-4-7  4/17 as they’ve failed to beat the better teams in the division in these situations.

I have to side with the home side here, but I recommend using the asian handicap option.
