	3pts Jamie Guy to score anytime v Lewes at 7/5 (bet365).	Grabbed his first goal for Oxford in midweek and will cause the division's bottom side problems.
	3pts on Greg Pearson to score anytime v Forest Green at 15/8 (bet365).	Has struck two goals in his last three games and is one of the league's best strikers.

I am not going to take a punt on any team in action this weekend with the odds on offer in the win market. Woking would be my tip at 13/8 against Histon if I had to lay my points anywhere, however I had my fingers burnt backing them last week so I will shy away from the Cards this time round.

I will therefore look at the anytime goalscorer market in the search of value. I have had success backing Steve Morison and Justin Richards this season but, although they look decent bets to find the back of the net this weekend, I will look at another two of the Blue Square Premier's strikers in this preview.

Jamie Guy opened his account for Oxford with a fourth minute goal against Cambridge on Tuesday and I think this will spark an avalanche of goals for the on-loan Colchester forward.

Guy has been unlucky with injuries so far this campaign after impressing with some great performances in pre-season, including a goal against a Manchester United XI.

The 21-year-old looks like he could strike up a good understanding with James Constable in the U's' attack and that is why I feel they will get amongst the goals at Lewes.

However, despite their impressive victory over Cambridge, Darren Patterson's side are still not a safe pair of hands from a betting perspective. They have only won once on the road this season and because of this against Lewes, who were unfortunate not to beat Histon on Tuesday, I feel it is more secure to back Guy to find the target.

There were fears that the on-loan forward had suffered an ankle injury in training last week but those worries have now been allayed and he should cause Blue Square Premier defences plenty of problems.

With Adam Murray putting in his best performance of the season for Oxford in midweek Guy will have plenty of chances coming his way at the Dripping Pan. That therefore makes odds of 7/5 for the striker to score anytime well worth snapping up as he faces the division's bottom side.

Burton striker Greg Pearson has already made a big impact this season as he currently sits joint top of the race for the Blue Square Premier golden boot, along with Richards, Wrexham's Jefferson Louis and Kettering's Gareth Seddon.

The former Bishop's Stortford forward has already produced the form in the early stages of this campaign that saw Notts County offer him a contract over the summer. Pearson, however, turned down that deal so he could carry on his degree studies while playing part-time with the Brewers.

That decision has certainly helped Nigel Clough's side start the season by flirting with the play-offs and they will hope to build on that form by defeating Forest Green.

Jim Harvey's side are without a win in five games and they have suffered a couple of heavy defeats during that run. They are therefore the underdogs for Saturday's clash and I think that billing is justified.

Pearson is available at 15/8 to score anytime and after the sensational start he has made to life in the Blue Square Premier I believe that price is well worth having a serious look at.
