Home and Away: Cod Army value to batter Burton

Can Burton secure their place in the third tier today? Can Burton secure their place in the third tier today?

Two winners on Friday left Jonno Turner in profit, and he's eyeing action across the continent today...

Finland is the venue for our first selection of this Bank Holiday Monday, and we're off to the snappily-named Hietalahden Jalkapallostadion in Vaasa, where VPS host Honka.

The home side head into this one in impressive form on their own patch, and just a single league loss from their last five in front of their own fans has lifted them into fifth place in the Veikkausliiga.

Olavi Huttunen's charges have secured three clean sheets in that time, and it is that stingy defensive return that they will be keen to uphold in order to pile the pressure on the top four.

Just four points separates them from second placed HJK, and they will be well aware that maximum points here - with home advantage - would do wonders for their league position.

Visitors Honka make this trip sitting just one place, and two points, behind their hosts - but with VPS having played a game less, this outing signifies a real opportunity for them to pull clear.

The away side have been far from perfect on their travels of late, and just one win from their last seven on the road from the Tapiolan Urheilupuisto leaves Shefki Kuqi's side looking unlikely to trouble their opponents.

Indeed, no goals scored in their last two points to a lack of cutting edge in the away camp - and I fancy VPS to come up trumps here.

Bet 1: VPS (HOME) @ 2.111/10

Back to more familiar climes now, as Burton line up against Fleetwood Town at Wembley, in the League Two play-off final.

The Brewers head into this one in mixed form, having won just one of their last five outings, and just a single clean sheet in that time suggests that they are at something of a low ebb defensively.

Gary Rowett's charges have been notoriously difficult to break down all campaign, but that stingy form seems to have deserted them a little, and at just the wrong time, too.

Incredibly, the Staffordshire side are on a miserable run on their travels, without a win since early March away from the Pirelli Stadium, a run which consists a whopping seven outings.

Fleetwood travel down to the capital in much more consistent form, and just a single loss from 10 will have them full of momentum and morale heading into this tie.

Graham Alexander has watched his side win three of their last four on the road, and back to back clean sheets suggests that their opponents might come up a little short in the final third.

The last time these two sides met, Fleetwood ran out 4-2 winners - and I reckon that it will be the seaside club who find themselves in League One come teatime.

Bet 2: Fleetwood Town (AWAY) @ 2.35/4
