"Chesterfield are the perfect team for BTTS bets, possessing plentiful talented attacking individuals, but who really struggle to keep clean sheets. They’ve only kept three all season, one of which came against 10 men, and another against one of the three worst attacking sides in the league this season in Barrow.

12 of the Spireites 17 games this season have seen both teams find the net, a ratio that improves at home, with six out of eight both teams to score bets landing. The xG ratio tables suggest they have given away the third highest xGA over the last 10 games.

They host a Swindon side who have scored in each of their last six matches in all competitions, finding the net twice or more in five of those six. They are another side though whose defence is not up to promotion standards at present. In fact, this is a meeting of the two leakiest defences in the top 10 of League Two."

"Only Bromley are in better form than Colchester in League Two at the moment, with the Essex side under Danny Cowley on the charge towards the top half after a very slow start. In their last two games they have beaten league leaders Walsall and 5th placed Notts County, both away from home.

Those games would have suited The U’s solid counter attacking style, and now they have to prove they can beat on of the poorer side in the league on home turf in Cheltenham, when they will be sitting behind the ball and making things difficult.

Is it still correct to call Cheltenham one of the poorer sides in the league? I think so, and that is despite three wins in their last five league games. In NTT20’s xG ratio tables, The Robins have improved from 24th over the last 10 games to 18th over the last five, so whilst they may have won some games, there’s been no massive upturn in performances.

Colchester should be in confident mood here, and will view this as a great opportunity to climb into the top half of the table."

"We’ve been backing Port Vale in recent weeks due to their underlying data suggesting that better results were on the horizon, however, having lost to fellow strugglers Plymouth at home last week to leave themselves rooted to the foot of the League One table, it appears that Darren Moore is incapable of turning it around.

Vale were booed off after another disappointing defeat which made it four defeats in five games. Their last game away from Vale Park saw them humbled 4-0 at Bolton and a visit to another side in the top six looks daunting.

Hosts Lincoln have won three of their last four at the LNER Stadium, with only Bolton taking more points on their own patch. They’ll be hurt after their late defeat at Wycombe last weekend, and so will have this fixture earmarked as their chance to get back on track and remain in the hunt for the automatic promotion spots.

With an opponent in Port Vale who are totally devoid of confidence and struggling to find the back of the net, Lincoln look well placed to get another victory on the board."

"This looks like an obvious spot, but we cannot ignore the results and the data that goes on top of that, which goes in favour of Coventry here.

Certainly, Nathan Jones would’ve surely looked at the fixture list after seeing his team lose three in a row, conceding nine goals in the process, and saw a trip to the CBS, and must’ve been slightly concerned.

Coventry are the league’s outstanding team in most respects. They obviously lead the league by 10 points now, they are also top of the expected points table, they lead the league in expected goals, shots on target, big chances created, and touches in the opposition box, and most of those are by a decent margin as well.

Charlton conceded four goals in 22 minutes against Southampton, then went to Stoke and conceded after three minutes and five minutes, so these starts have been shocking for a team that had previously looked very well organised and quite tight.

Whilst Nathan Jones will obviously be drilling the message into his players about their start here, I am concerned that they will almost be too fearful and defensive, and as a result, rarely get out of their own half.

We have seen that Coventry have lots of routes to goal, so Charlton are likely to have to score to get something, and I find that difficult to envisage."
