Tuesday EFL betting preview and free tips for Sky Bet League One & Two

Oxford United v Burton Albion

There was an element of Groundhog Day to Oxford's first two home matches of the season, as they recorded consecutive 1-0 wins over Peterborough in Sky Bet League One and the EFL Cup with Cameron Brannagan snatching the winner on both occasions.

They gave an excellent account of themselves in defeat to Blackpool last time out, having 23 shots against a team who have won their opening three matches.

United look overpriced to beat Burton, who have lost two of their opening three games.

Recommendation
Oxford

Swindon Town v Northampton Town

Northampton have made a disappointing start to the new season, taking one point from their opening three assignments in Sky Bet League Two.

The latest of those ended in a 2-1 defeat to a Macclesfield side lacking a first-team manager after Sol Campbell's departure and the Cobblers do not look up to the challenge of visiting highflying Swindon.

The hosts snatched a point away to Exeter last time out to preserve their unbeaten start and are top of the fourth tier, having opened with wins against Scunthorpe and Carlisle.

Recommendation
Swindon
2pts 10-11 Betfred

Mansfield Town v Leyton Orient

A frustrating goalless draw away to Stevenage last time out epitomised Leyton Orient's stuttering start on their return to League Two and they should be opposed against Mansfield.

Ross Embleton's men saw 67 per cent of the ball and mustered 23 shots in their last match but, for the third successive game, they could not convert any of those chances.

The Stags had not got off to an ideal start either with back-to-back draws in the league but a 2-0 win away to Carlisle should boost their confidence for the visit of Orient.

Recommendation
Mansfield
2pts 19-20 Sky Bet
