League One - Crewe vs Oldham Football betting preview

The final week of the domestic season should always be approach with caution, skinny prices and more 'dead rubbers than my old pencil case.

League 2 is a write off for me, promotion and relegation has been sorted, the play-off teams are confirmed so it would take some very interesting team news to get involved.

In League 1 we have 7 teams with very much something to play for Doncaster Notts For and Carlisle battling for the final automatic promotion spot and Gillingham Bournemouth Cheltenham and Crewe trying to avoid relegation.

4 of these 7 clubs meet each other today

Cheltenham Vs Doncaster

Carlisle Vs Bournemouth

With so much at stake these games may well be best left alone, as for the other 3 sides, well, Gillingham need a victory at play off assured Leeds but a best price of 4.0 is poor in my opinion, sure they might win, but a side with only 2 away wins in 22 matches would be 8.0 any other week of the year so with no value its a 'no bet'

Im happy to play the other 2 matches of meaning in this league though.



second up

Crewe just need 1 point to assure themselves of League 1 football next season if they get beaten and other results go against them they could be in trouble. They entertain an Oldham side today with nothing to play for and knowing that survival is in there own hands i think they are more than capable of getting a point. Crewe are bound to try to keep things tight here and with Oldham struggling away from home in recent weeks i think this game could turn into a 'non event' and maybe even become a drab 0-0 which both sides would be more than happy to settle for.

My bets are therefore:
