"2nd-placed Swindon host 15th-placed Harrogate at The County Ground on Saturday, and despite being odds-on to win, I still feel the 1.62 available is pretty good value for a side who have been impressive so far this season.

The Robins have won five of their seven games thus far, and whilst the xG table has them two points worse off than the actual table, it still agrees that they have been the 2nd-best side in League Two to date. They have coped admirably with losing main striker Harry Smith, winning all three games since and bringing in replacement target man, Ollie Palmer.

Harrogate got off to a decent start, picking up eight points in their first four games, but have since lost three in a row, whilst scoring just once. Two of those were tough fixtures against Bromley and Chesterfield, but they’re arguably up against an even better side here, and look set for four defeats on the spin."

"The Shrimpers returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 3-0 dispatching of Halifax. They sit 4th in the table, three points off the top. They’re unbeaten at Roots Hall and have conceded just a single goal in front of their own fans.

The late addition of Andrew Dallas looks to be paying off; he now has three goals in his last three as Southend look to go one step further than they did last season. 

Boston have won just two of their opening seven matches, one of which came on opening day. They’ve had some very favourable fixtures too, including Truro, who hadn’t scored a goal before meeting The Pilgrims, only to run out 3-0 winners.

Southend should show why they’re the shortest priced side in the division come 3pm on Saturday."

"The price on St Mirren to leave Falkirk on Saturday with at least a point is little short of outstanding, with the Paisley club having performed significantly better than their results might show.

Steven Robinson’s visiting troupe have lost only one game over 90 minutes in the nine competitive fixtures they have played. That was away against Celtic, when a late deflected goal undid them. Although three draws have followed, these include games against Rangers, Hibs and a promising Motherwell side. These results would have been even better with some sharper finishing.

Falkirk, meanwhile, sit on four points, but can consider themselves to be a little lucky to be in that situation. They come into this game off the back of a win at Aberdeen, yet the hosts were reduced to 10 men after 43 minutes in that encounter and were coming off a tiring European trip, in which they were also a man short for more than half the match.  

Goalkeeper Scott Bain was vital for Falkirk in the win against Aberdeen, but faces a race against time to be fit here.

Falkirk may have started the season with some promise, but St Mirren’s price is irresistible here given the Buddies have looked so strong. I’d go as far to say as backing them at 3.30 to get the win is strong value, but we’re going X2 for insurance, which is still a great price."

"I think all the ingredients are in place for an entertaining encounter when Edinburgh City face East Kilbride in Scottish League Two on Saturday afternoon. SPFL new boys East Kilbride have been a hugely enjoyable watch this season, and their gung-ho approach under Mick Kennedy should produce more goals and excitement in the Scottish capital this weekend.

The visitors have scored a league-high 13 goals across their opening five games of the season, with four of those contests delivering over 2.5 match goals. What’s more, each of East Kilbride’s seven outings in cup competitions this season have all broken the over 2.5 goal barrier, including last week’s 4-2 loss to Hamilton in the Challenge Cup.

As for Edinburgh, they have also been serving up plenty of entertainment for Scottish League Two crowds this term, with each of their first five league games of the season producing three or more goals. Goals have also been flowing in cup games involving the Citizens this season, with five of their seven ties featuring a minimum of three match strikes. 

With all that in mind, goals should be on the agenda at Meadowbank on Saturday."
