Southend v Barnsley

The first of our top March 2 League One betting tips is for Southend v Barnsley. A live match from League One as the Sky Sports cameras bring us this tussle from 12.30pm and both sides will be determined to put on a show and prove the skill and ambition in the division. Southend enjoys home advantage but set-up on a winless run with three draws and two defeats making up their last five. They started the week in 13^th and are looking like a side who won’t stray too far from their current position, Doncaster and the promotion play-off places already 13 points better off. A level finish in each of their last two shows what Southend is about and another draw at 13/5 with Bet365 makes more sense than backing 10/3 with the same firm about a home win.

A Good Run

Barnsley have also drawn each of their last two but are on an extended unbeaten run that has lifted them to within touching distance of top spot and they can pour pressure on leaders Luton with a win in the early kick-off. The visitors have Sunderland and Portsmouth snapping away at their heels in a bid to wrestle automatic promotion away from them, so they may see holding their ground as a more important task than shooting for the title. Barnsley is much the better team of the two and should be backed for a return to winning ways at 5/6 (Unibet).
