ALL ABOARD THE ORIENT EXPRESS

Hello fellow mugs it's Tuesday and that can mean just one more thing betting time again. Here are look at the markets for tonight.

FOOTBALL
CARLING CUP
This Carling Cup is a minefield for potential punters, it's hard to know who will play, who will take this seriously,that's why I'm loathe to get involved. Liverpool v Arsenal with either side at 5.1 would seem good investment as their is little in these two teams, but not in the League Cup and especially if Arsenal play the reserve side. However beware of also lumping on Liverpool as they may play the stronger squad but motivation levels may be low amongst key squad members and Arsenal's youngsters will have a point to prove. The odds are highly restrictive in this game.
Charlton v Wycombe is where the value lies as far as I'm concerned, Charlton are as horribly low as 1.33 in some places, which is just awful value on a side woefully short of confidence. The fact that they will play a strong side might be judged as more of a help than a hinderence when you see who they consider their strongest lineup. Which brings us to Wycombe and I could see why some punters would be putting small stakes on the away win, it isn't for me but I can see where there going. The only problem I have is that one win in six isn't great form for Wycombe and Charlton will have a point to prove after some desperate performances.
My value lies in the 4.0 on offer from Totesport for anytime goalscorer for Jermaine Easter and Tommy Mooney, Charlton have the worst defence in the Premier League and Wycombe are certainly capable of scoring tonight, the main goal threats will come from Easter and Mooney who are just 3.25 with Bet365. Their combination of height and pace should cause big problems to Charlton's very shaky defence.

LEAGUE ONE
19:45 Tranmere(1.8) Draw(3.5) Crewe(5): I already wrote about this game in detail on Friday, stating that although Tranmere have a great home record I'm loathe to get against Crewe, especially with Nicky Maynard settling down for another year. Not one to get involved in for me.
19:45 Northampton(2.1) Draw(3.3) Leyton Orient(3.55): This game is of far more interest to me, here's my in-depth preview.
LEAGUE POSITIONS: NORTHAMPTON 18 LEYTON ORIENT 21
RECENT FORM: TWO DRAWS AND A LOSS for Northampton, Orient have won, drew one and lost with both sides having a cup loss in there as well.
SIX GAME FORM: Orient sit 13th, 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats. Northampton sit 20th with just one win, three draws and two defeats.
LAST GAME REPORTS: Leyton Orient had a great away win against table topping Forest, while Northampton produced some desperte defending to gain a point against out of sorts Huddersfield.
TEAM NEWS: Northampton are hopeful cental defender Chris Doig will shake off a groin problem in time to play as Sean Dyche is also struggling with his groin.
Joe Burnell and James Quinn are doubts but keeper Mark Bunn should figure.
Leyton Orient are likely to field an unchanged team with John Mackie keeping his place at the heart of the defence.
Defender Adam Tann has resumed light training following surgery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer, while Efe Echanomi is on the comeback trail.
HOME/AWAY RECORDS: Northampton have a hideous home record, one win, three draws and six defeats. Orient for their part have just one away win, two draws and seven defeats. Though that win came at the weekend.

RECOMMENDATIONS: I find the odds on Orient too big, as these are two very similar sides, neither side has the home away advantage as both have poor home/away records. Then you consider that Orient are playing the better stuff and are to field an unchanged side to the one who beat Forest. That's why I'd advise small stakes on the draw and Orient away win. The odds of 3.57 on betfair, 3.55 with expekt 3.55, or those without either an get 3.4 at Bet365 and Stan James.

SCOTLAND: East Stirling face Berwick in Scotland, at first glance this seems one sided but I'd be advising the no bet here despite Berwick's five match unbeaten run, 1.53 are highly restrictive odds as East Stirling are showing signs of improvement and had a good away win last time out at a Queens Park side just two points off Berwick. East Stirling at 6.0 might appeal but they need to show more convincing signs before getting on them.

EUROPE: Elsewhere we have some cup matches across some of Europe's leagues, but as with Carling Cup not good betting odds, look back tommorrow for some indepth stuff on Italy and Spain.

OTHER SPORTS: The World Darts continues but we will keep a watch brief this early and some more NBA tonight.

Have a good betting day everyone and be sure to check back tommorrow and please tell a friend about the blog, the more hits we get, the more potential investors we can get.

TODAY'S RECOMMENDATION: ORIENT NOT TO LOSE AT 3.57/3.55/3.4 (depending on your bookie) and 3.3 the draw.
Mooney and Easter 4.0 each anytime scorers Wycombe v Charlton.
