Our expert Nick Hext has tips for all this weekend's live EFL matches on Sky Sports and Soccer Saturday Super 6 selections.
Sky Bet League One
Back Bury to beat Peterborough
There are three Sky Bet League One matches live on Sky Sports this weekend and Bury look a cracking bet to win at Peterborough in the opening contest at midday on Saturday. The Shakers saw their five-match winning run in the league ended by leaders Scunthorpe last weekend but there's still plenty to like about David Flitcroft's men, especially at the 13/5 available for success on the road in this game. Victories at Swindon and MK Dons were picked up during that stretch of three-point hauls and there's nothing to be scared of from a Peterborough side without a win in their last eight outings. Bury should be backed to add to Posh's recent problems.
Back the half-time score in Oxford v AFC Wimbledon to be 0-0
Oxford host AFC Wimbledon at 1215 BST on Saturday and I expect a quiet start to this Kassam Stadium contest. Four of Oxford's last five matches have been goalless at half-time and a similar tale is in store during this clash with the Dons. The U's have only conceded three goals in their last seven outings and the strong defensive line-up that Michael Appleton has at his disposal can keep things tight once again. There's 15/8 available for 0-0 to be the half-time score in this game and that has to be worth an interest given Oxford's recent record.
Back Port Vale/draw in double chance market v MK Dons
MK Dons bid to end an 11-match without a home win when they take on Port Vale at 1415 BST on Sunday. I can't be having the Dons as odds-on favourites to break that record so it has to be the Valiants who you get onside for this clash. Vale are without an away win this season but they've claimed decent draws at Bradford and Peterborough so I'd take a look at the double chance market as a way to get an interest. There's even-money available for the match to end in a win to Vale or a draw and that is worth taking with the Stadium MK faithful getting restless.
Sky Bet League Two
Back Plymouth to beat Stevenage
Plymouth are marching on at the top of Sky Bet League Two with a five-point advantage over second-placed Doncaster. Argyle travel to Stevenage for their latest test and the leaders have to be backed at odds-against for the win. Plymouth have won eight and drawn just one of their last nine outings with Derek Adams having his men quickly on track after losing last season's play-off final. Stevenage are on a four-match winless run so it just has to be Argyle to return from Hertfordshire with three points.
Back Cambridge to beat Blackpool
Blackpool can't be trusted as odds-on favourites for any match and that goes for Saturday's clash at home to Cambridge. The Seasiders sit 16th in League Two with a run of just one win in six games seeing them in the bottom half in the standings. Cambridge will enter this match full of confidence after claiming four wins on the spin and there has to be an interest at over 3/1 available for the away win at Bloomfield Road.
