Table toppers Leyton Orient are well on their way to promotion to League One as they prepare to face lowly Colchester United.

The O’s have no fresh injury concerns and are on a strong run of form, going unbeaten in their last seven in the league. They have been the best team in League Two by far this term, as the league table shows, and they should have the quality to get over the line now into League One.

Wellens’ side have only conceded 22 goals in their 35 matches this season which is the best defensive record in the division, and they should breeze past their next opponents if they show up again.

Colchester have endured a tough campaign and are still at risk of relegation as they sit just six points above the drop zone in 20th place. The Essex outfit have been dealt a blow with striker Kwesi Appiah ruled out with injury, not ideal with the club currently stuck in a goal drought having not scored in their last five outings. They have won only once in their last seven games.

Borussia Dortmund host Cologne in the Bundesliga Topspiel on Saturday evening as they aim to climb above leaders Bayern Munich, who play Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday. Edin Terzic will expect a response from his players after they were held to a 2-2 draw against relegation candidates Schalke in the Revierderby last weekend following their elimination from the Champions League.

Cologne have failed to score in their last four Bundesliga games. They sold last season’s top scorer Anthony Modeste to Borussia Dortmund – Steffen Tigges has scored just 5 goals in 21 games, Davie Selke is yet to score following his January move and Mark Uth is out for the remainder of the season. Cologne are underperforming in their xG (36) by 4 goals, and only four teams have a poorer chance conversion rate.

Meanwhile under Terzic, Borussia Dortmund’s attack is only bettered by Bayern Munich. They’re outperforming their xG of 44 by 5 goals, average 6 shots on target per 90, in-comparison to Bayern Munich’s 8, whilst averaging 8 chances per 90. After a week of disappointment, this is a prime opportunity for Dortmund to get back on track.

Northampton Town are starting to hit form as they take on a Crewe Alexandra side who have nothing to play for.

The Cobblers secured a big win over promotion rivals Mansfield Town last time out, a significant result that leaves them only a point behind 3rd place Carlisle United in the league table.

Northampton are in good spirits at the moment, and they are proving to be a tough nut to crack in recent weeks having been beaten just once in their last 10. Whilst not blowing teams away, they are generally able to grind out a positive result.

Crewe’s season is fizzling out and they find themselves down in 17th place in the division. They haven’t been convincing this term and have only won once in their last six as they prepare for a tricky trip down to Sixfields against opponents who are desperate to get the win as they look to rise into the top three.

This Saturday night game pits the second-best LaLiga team since the World Cup against the worst LaLiga team since the World Cup, with Atlético Madrid having taken 24 points from the 11 games since then, while Valencia have just seven points in that time.

While it’s true that Valencia have improved a little since Rubén Baraja took over as coach four games ago, that improvement has come at home. They’ve so far won 1-0 twice at Mestalla and lost 1-0 in both his away games, while even one of the home victories was courtesy of an own goal.

With some important Valencia players still missing through injury, that minor improvement isn’t likely to be enough for Los Che to make a dent in Atleti’s impressive form.

Diego Simeone’s side are thriving now that they don’t have midweek European football to worry about and they thrashed Sevilla 6-1 in their last home game, with Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay particularly impressive. They’ll be looking to put on another show this Saturday night and are more than capable of beating this improving-but-still-flawed Valencia unit.

Though I respect Millwall a lot and I am on their side in many matches, this bet is mainly one against Huddersfield.

The data puts Huddersfield bottom of the league with just one expected point and the worst chance generation (3.5xG in 6 matches) and worst chances created against metric (10.8xGA in 6 matches) over that same period.

They could barely wish for more accommodating guests than Huddersfield. The Terriers haven’t scored a goal in four away games having lost all of them to nil. The dominance of the opponents in those matches has been strong as well with xG differences of -2.2, -2.4 and -1.0 in the last three.

Huddersfield are barely creating anything on the road, and with Millwall’s famed competitiveness and defensive solidity at The Den, it looks a solid home win.

The prospect of goals in Toulouse’s home encounter with Lille on Saturday is high. Both of these teams are far stronger going forward than they are at the back and the net result should be an end-to-end match in the Pink City.

Toulouse’s home games this season have been particularly attractive on the whole. Just 14 Ligue 1 matches in front of their supporters have produced 46 goals.

Lille have seen BTTS land in four of their last five, whilst Toulouse have seen the same in three of their last five Ligue 1 games.

LOSC did not have a single member of their regular back four fit to start in their last game, a 3-3 draw with Lyon, and though Jose Fonte is expected to return for this match, they will be dramatically shorthanded at the back once more. Against a prolific home outfit, that promises to be problematic.
