Having missed out by one result in successive midweeks, with Charlton letting us down last week when Reading, Wrexham and Huddersfield all delivered, Saturday was a case of what might have been, as Storm Darragh reduced a 20/1 fourfold to a much less satisfying 2/1-winning double.
This Week's Acca focuses on Tuesday's action, starting in the Champions League where holders Real Madrid face a battle to reach the knockout stage.
Carlo Ancelotti's injury-hit team were outclassed by Liverpool a fortnight ago to leave them on six points after five games and now travel to ATALANTA, who are W3 D2, conceding just one goal - in a 6-1 win at Young Boys in their most recent fixture.
Both opponents who earned goalless draws against the Italian club were fortunate too, with Celtic utterly dominated (xG: ATA 2.38-CEL 0.26) and Arsenal requiring a David Raya penalty save to escape with a point.
No team in the country come close to matching BURNLEY's phenomenal defensive record, with Scott Parker's side conceding just seven goals in 19 matches in the Sky Bet Championship.
Unbeaten in eight (W6 D2) and losing just twice all season, they host a Derby side who have won only once since October 5 and are on a three-match losing streak.
After an incredibly tough early-season fixture list PORTSMOUTH are turning it around, winning back-to-back home games (3-1 over Preston and 3-0 against Bristol City) either side of a creditable draw at Swansea.
Norwich head to Fratton Park having taking one point from their last four away games, conceding nine goals in the process.
