Tom Lee's Panel Tips For Tuesday, March 4
- Tom Lee's Panel Tip 1: Swindon To Beat Salford - 13/10 With Betfred
- Tom Lee's Panel Tip 2: Bradford To Beat Cheltenham - 4/6 With Betfred
We're spoilt for choice when trying to weigh up some tempting looking options across Tuesday evening's EFL coupon.
Perhaps the strongest contenders are grouped in League Two, where the likes of leaders Walsall travel to Carlisle, Wimbledon are on the road to Morecambe, Grimsby are at home to Tranmere and Notts County host Barrow.
Leaving all of those to do their stuff, we're going for two other fixtures from the fourth tier.
Ian Holloway's much-improved Swindon (14th) entertain inconsistent Salford (ninth) at the County Ground.
Both sides harbour hopes of a play-off place, but the margin of error is getting smaller with every passing week.
Before Holloway arrived, Swindon lost 2-1 at Salford in October, but it's fair to say this is a vastly improved version of the Robins.
After a slow start, Ollie's side are well and truly engaged now and his team have taken 19 points from their last eight games.
A win at leaders Walsall was not a fluke. Joel Cotterill's 59th-minute winner was backed up by stats revealing more possession (52%) than the hosts, as well as twice as many shots on target.
Confidence could hardly be higher for Swindon, who are undefeated at home in the league since November.
They entertain a Salford side who have curiously gone off the boil, losing three on the bounce following a spell in which they took all three points just once since January 4.
For all those reasons, Swindon look unmissable as the choice for our first leg of the double at 13/10 on football betting sites.

Bradford Vs Cheltenham, Tuesday 19.45pm
For leg two we are opting for Bradford, who are another side with plenty of motivation to back them up.
A victory for the Bantams at home to Cheltenham could move them to within a point of the League Two leaders.
Admittedly, that would require wobbling Walsall to lose at Carlisle, but stranger things have happened.
A double-figure points advantage for the Saddlers has suddenly dwindled to just four, with the Bantams chasing hard.
Whisper it quietly, but while Walsall falter without the goals of recalled loanee Nathan Lowe, Graham Alexander's Bradford are playing like champions, conceding only seven goals in a 14-game spell.
They have taken 29 points from the last 36 available, stuffing Walsall 3-0 and playing with real swagger both at home and away.
In fairness to Cheltenham, they have played extremely well themselves and only a week ago they took a point against Walsall at home thanks to two goals in injury time.
Town are safe in 12th, but are unlikely to be able to tame this relentless Bradford side, who get the nod for the home win at 4/6 on betting apps.
