Big Matches
The leaders Peterborough United play host to a dour Blackpool side on Saturday while their nearest challengers Portsmouth make the long journey to Spotland to take on Rochdale. The TV match on Saturday comes from the Ricoh Arena where two clubs looking to revive their heydays meet as Coventry City play host to Sunderland. Doncaster in fourth head to the bottom side Plymouth Argyle.
Best of the Rest
Walsall have maintained their good beginning to the season to remain in fifth place going into the weekend. They take on an Accrington Stanley side who are showing no signs of struggle in their first season at this level. There is an appealing match at Kenilworth Road where Luton host sixth placed Charlton Athletic while Fleetwood Town and Barnsley do battle in a highesh profile match at Highbury.

Betting
This is a big week of League One action so I’m not going to force bets through on what looks like a tricky little card. A couple of the contenders have tough looking matches while a couple of potential good things look a little on the short side to be getting involved with but there is one bet which catches my eye.
I sat and watched Blackpool last weekend and I didn’t think a whole lot to them in truth and I can certainly understand why they struggle to score and yet don’t concede too many. The problem is even as solid as they might be defensively I don’t see them containing this vibrant Peterborough United attack for 90 minutes so the Tangerines are going to have to find the back of the net if they want to get anything out of this match. I saw nothing last week to suggest that is a certainty though and even if they do Posh could have a couple or more in them. Peterborough look decent enough things to me especially with the draw cover in case they do struggle to break this Blackpool rearguard down.
Tips
HALF LOSS – Back Peterborough United (-0.25AH) to beat Blackpool for a 4/10 stake at 1.95 with Betfred
