Pools tips for this weekend May 8-9

Draws: Colchester have fallen away badly in League One and I predict that Leyton Orient, at last safe from relegation, will hold them on Saturday. Millwall and Swindon, who play each other at the New Den, have their eyes on automatic promotion but I reckon both will be disappointed as Saturday's game looks like ending in stalemate. In League Two, Rotherham have drawn only once away this season. I believe they will add to that tally at Hereford. There may be another draw at Plainmoor where the division's in-form teams, Torquay and champions Notts County, meet.


Aways: Sunderland have fared poorly on their travels but they can improve that record at Wolves. Relegation-threatened Tranmere will surely defeat bottom club Stockport, who are already doomed, and Accrington are also tipped to take maximum points at Cheltenham, who, as well as being fourth from bottom in League Two, are completely out of sorts.


Homes: Although Brighton's home record is appalling, they should be able to beat Yeovil, who have nothing left to play for except pride. I'm taking home advantage - and sheer desperation - to see lowly Exeter through against Huddersfield, while Northampton are fancied to make life more uncomfortable for Bury, who have lost their last five away matches.


Treble chance (home teams): Bolton, Colchester, Millwall, Crewe, Hereford, Morecambe, Port Vale, Torquay, Hoffenheim, Wolfsburg.


Best draws: Colchester, Millwall, Hereford, Morecambe, Torquay.


Aways: Liverpool, Sunderland, Charlton, Tranmere, Accrington.


Homes: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United, Brighton, Exeter, Walsall, Lincoln, Northampton.
