Unchanged Gillingham look a nice price at Oldham
Oxford have an awful record against Shrimpers
Oldham v Gillingham
Sky Bet League One
It's the time of year where need to win can overcome ability to win in bookmakers' minds and that looks the case at Oldham in Sky bet League One.
Visitors Gillingham are probably safe but Oldham look too short at odds-on for a team who have won only one of their last six games.
The Gills were good enough to draw with promotion-chasing Blackburn last time out and have named an unchanged team.
Recommendation
Gillingham
1pt 19-5 Hills
Oxford v Southend
Sky Bet League One
Staying in League One, and bookmakers have more confidence that Oxford can raise their game than their fans or form followers.
United might just avoid the trap door this season but they haven't won any of their last five games, losing three, and Southend, while they have been hit and miss, are good enough to put them in more trouble.
The head-to-heads hugely favour the Essex side too - Oxford have won only one of their last 18 meetings inside 90 minutes.
Recommendation
Southend draw no bet
1pt 23-20 Hills
