Expert EFL tips and betting predictions from Mark Langdon: Be wise to Owls

The EFL is wild and at this stage of the season everything is up for grabs. The playoff system means virtually every team will go into this campaign thinking promotion is for them.

Acun Ilicali bought Hull City. He is doing good work in the community and bringing cheap tickets to bring the fans back to the stadium. The new team has been shipped in and they have had some bad pre-season results. Oscar Estupinan, Jean Seri and Tobias Figueiredo played for promotion-winning teams last season.

Gareth Ainsworth signed a new contract at Wycombe. Forest Green have recruited Ian Burchnall from Notts County. Charlton manager Johnnie Jackson was sacked. Addicks owner Thomas Sandgaard believes more pressing high up on the pitch would give them a higher chance of getting promoted. Sheffield Wednesday look solid each-way.

Mark Langdon is backing Mansfield to do well in League Two. He is giving them one last try. Nigel Clough laid similar foundations at Burton.
