Make your predictions in our ongoing competition and take a look at the best betting suggestions in the lower divisions
Welcome to our tipping round-up. Most of you know the drill by now, but for those who don't, every week I post my betting suggestions for the weekend (which you may well wish to steer clear of), as well as our predictions contest. The blog can also act as a talkboard for any Football League-related discussions over the weekend.
Bury to beat Northampton at 8-5
Saturday's trip to Sixfields can settle the Shakers back into a sustained charge for the top three after the departure of boss Alan Knill, with a coach in situ for the game: Robbie Fowler. The former Liverpool striker has accepted an offer to assist caretaker Richie Barker, with the club hoping "some of his talent rubs off for the last month of the season". There's plenty of ability in the Bury squad and even after a recent dip in form, the 3-0 beating of Oxford suggested automatic promotion is still well within their grasp. Ryan Lowe scored his 24th in 39 League Two outings last weekend and the Cobblers defence is unlikely to provide a sterner test this time around. Winless in 14, albeit drawing nine of them, Northampton are suddenly staring over their shoulders: the visit of a Bury team with the best away record in the division isn't going to help matters.
Bristol City to beat Barnsley at 11-5
For City, six wins in seven speaks volumes. For the Tykes, one win in 10 (at home to Scunthorpe) does likewise. City still represent the best-value options around at this stage of the season.
