Football betting tips: Saturday best bet
2pts Wycombe to beat Shrewsbury at 10/11 (Betfred, QuinnBet)
WYCOMBE’s home record was formidable in Sky Bet League One last season, W15 D5 L4 – the division’s third best and they opened this campaign by thumping Burton 3-0 at Adams Park.
Visitors Shrewsbury’s away form was woeful (W3 D7 L13) and they have failed to score in either of their opening league games against Morecambe and Accrington – hardly League One’s leading lights.
LEICESTER were the Premier League’s great entertainers last term, particularly on the road where a whopping 84% of Foxes games featured both teams scoring. They began this season with a 2-2 draw at home to Brentford suggesting little's changed.
Their visit to ARSENAL is one for your BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE coupon – Leicester cannot keep clean sheets, while the Gunners have kept one in their past 11 games and even that was fortunate, conceding 1.2 xGA (Expected Goals Against) to Crystal Palace in the season-opener.
SUNDERLAND are showing signs of being a good watch in the Sky Bet Championship this season – their attack is good enough to make the step up from League One but their defence is finding it slightly trickier (xG 1.2, xGA 1.45 per game so far).
QPR, 3-2 winners over Middlesbrough last weekend, are another team who goals tend to follow around – 65% BTTS away from home last season. Sunderland helped land our BTTS Nap last week and I fancy BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE again here.
BURTON have had an absolutely nightmare start to the new season, losing 3-0 and 4-0 in the league and 2-0 at lower-league Rochdale in the League Cup. Their squad looks weak and while it's still early days, trouble lies ahead.
The even money generally available on home specialists ACCRINGTON (just one defeat in their past 14 league games at the Wham Stadium) is appealing and was very much under Nap consideration.
It’s been a superb start to the season for BOLTON, an opening-day draw at Ipswich followed up by convincing 3-0 and 5-1 wins in league and cup.
They are continuing the excellent form they showed during the second half of last season and look too large at 29/20 in places away to a promoted Port Vale side thumped 4-0 at Exeter last weekend.
NORTHAMPTON landed our opening-weekend Nap and have made a solid start in Sky Bet League Two with a win and a draw and were unlucky not to take Wycombe to penalties in the cup in midweek.
Visitors Hartlepool are goalless in two league games and had one of the division’s worst away records last term, losing 13 of 23 on their travels.
Pete Wild has enjoyed a fun start as BARROW manager with a pair of 3-2 wins, his side registering 21 shots across those two games but also allowing the opposition 11 shots on target at the other end.
Their BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE run can continue at SUTTON UNITED who have also started with two BTTS games and whose games averaged 2.65 goals per match last term, the division’s fourth highest tally.
