Pools Tips for this weekend 10-11 April

Draws: Plymouth, under the managership of Paul Mariner, are making a spirited attempt to avoid relegation to League One and can follow up last week's win at Doncaster by gaining a point at Watford, who are also in danger of going down. In League One, Oldham, who find it tough at home, host Bristol Rovers, who are poor away. Stalemate looks the most likely outcome here. A draw also looks on the cards at Cheltenham, where Bury are the visitors in League Two. Not so long ago this would have been an away banker but promotion-seeking Bury have stumbled lately. In the Blue Square Premier, promotion-seeking Oxford United have lost their way and can be held at Altrincham. Gateshead, battling to stay up, are tipped to share the spoils with Kidderminster.


Aways: Huddersfield can strengthen their promotion claims at Brentford by recording their ninth away victory of the season. It may be worth taking a chance on Tranmere beating Walsall, who have nothing to play for. In League Two, Bournemouth must be fancied to beat Lincoln and in the Blue Square Premier York and AFC Wimbledon look good bets against Eastbourne and Mansfield respectively.


Homes: Relegation-threatened West Ham can follow their merited draw at Everton on Sunday by beating Sunderland. They are overdue a home victory. In League Two, Darlington are doomed but, under new managership, have come to life recently and they can gain more momentum with victory over Accrington. Hayes & Yeading, who accounted for high-riding Oxford United on Good Friday, can do the same to Barrow.


Treble chance (home teams): Middlesbrough, Watford, Colchester, Oldham, Cheltenham, Morecambe, Altrincham, Gateshead, Peterhead, Berwick.
