Tom Lee's Panel Tips For Saturday, November 9:

Wigan Vs Wycombe, Saturday, 3pm

Goal-crazy Wycombe have scored 43 goals in all competitions this season, most recently silencing Edgeley Park on Bonfire Night as they produced their own firework display with a 5-0 victory over a usually decent Stockport side.

Matt Bloomfield's Chairboys can do little wrong at present, and with the added incentive of protecting their newly-claimed top spot in League One, they travel to struggling Wigan brimming with confidence and on the hunt for a fifth away victory in the league this season. 

Fast, skillful, powerful and direct, they've got goals coming from all positions, though it's worth remembering pre-season when Ivorian forward Richard Kone set a seemingly tough target of 15 for the campaign - he has 10 already!

Other notable goalscoring contributions have come from the likes of Cam Humphreys, Daniel Udoh and Fred Onyedinma.

Moreover, not only have Wycombe scored in 18 consecutive league games, but with 31 goals this season they also have the highest figure of any of the 92 sides in the top four divisions. 

Confidence and momentum in abundance.

Hosts Wigan find themselves languishing in 19th spot after a stuttering start to the season, a rare bright spot being a 3-0 home win against Peterborough at the beginning of October. 

I wrongly calculated that as being the boost they needed, but they have since proved otherwise by taking a miserable two points from a possible 12.

Looking at the wider picture, big-spending rivals Birmingham were knocked off top spot on goal difference in midweek, and are a warm order to see off Northampton at St Andrew's, so Wycombe know what's required to maintain their grip on the League One summit. 

At 7/5 with football betting sites, they look a very tempting price to beat Wigan.

Wimbledon Vs Grimsby, Saturday, 3pm

Dropping down a division, it's 13th against 10th as Wimbledon look to make up for lost time as they host Grimsby.

Unlike every other side in League Two, the Wombles have only played 11 league games to date, their season interrupted by flood damage to the pitch at Plough Lane.

What we have seen of Johnnie Jackson's outfit has been solid, notably easing past arch rivals MK Dons in the FA Cup on Sunday, as well as dispatching them 3-0 in the league. 

Their home form has been perfect, winning all five league games by a 15-2 aggregate score!

Their positive goal difference of plus nine is unsurprising, and they can deliver again here against a Grimsby team who don't defend well, letting in 25 goals in 14 games. 

Granted, David Artell's men did do this column a favour when winning at Salford in mid-October, but results have been largely poor since then, capped by defeat to non-league Wealdstone in the FA Cup first round.

Using MK Dons as a form line, Grimsby should not be good enough. 

They were soundly beaten 3-1 by them at home; the same team that have already lost twice to Wimbledon this season.

Wimbledon are 4/7 with several betting apps.
