Football betting tips: Saturday best bet
2pts Sheffield Wednesday to beat Exeter at 19/20 (General)
The original Saturday Seven Nap has been postponed (Harrogate v Northampton) and will be voided
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY have been on a tear in Sky Bet League One for some time, the Owls’ record in their past 13 games reading W8 D4 L1, and they’ve been excellent away this term (W6 D2 L2).
Hosts Exeter have struggled for consistency since boss Matt Taylor left for Rotherham in early October, losing six of their past 11 in all competitions.
MK DONS are on a run of five successive BTTS games and are still yet to keep a home league clean sheet this season in 10 attempts.
Visitors FLEETWOOD are one of League One’s BTTS kings, with 80% of their away matches involving goals for both sides so stick this one on your BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE coupon.
It’s impossible to ignore STEVENAGE’s home form – W9 D0 L1 – so when they are odds-against (21/20), Steve Evans’ high-flying outfit have to be a consideration for any coupon.
Visitors Mansfield are hot and cold on the road (W5 D0 L5) but have dropped out of the play-offs after developing a losing habit recently, with six defeats in their past 10 in all competitions.
SUTTON UNITED have been no great shakes this season but have been decent at Gander Green Lane, with a home record of W5 D2 L3. And it’s worth backing most teams at home to Colchester, given their abysmal away sequence of W0 D1 L9.
Below Saturday Seven games have been postponed
Crewe have pulled up few trees in League Two this term, sitting 15th, and yet to claim a win against any top-seven side. Table-topping LEYTON ORIENT have won six of their past seven in the league and their impressive away record reads W7 D2 L1.
Rochdale have lost three on the spin – and six in eight in all competitions – and were thrashed 4-1 at home by Harrogate last weekend, with goals (just four in their last eight) proving hard to come by.
Not so for improving STOCKPORT who have won eight of their past 12 matches, sticking five past Hartlepool last weekend and hitting four against Swindon in the cup recently too.
HARROGATE’s Sky Bet League Two games averaged a division-high 3.02 goals per match last year and after a quiet start they are back to old ways – a 4-1 win, 3-3 draw, plus defeats by 3-2 and 3-1 (twice) among recent results.
With no team in the division boasting a higher BTTS rate than visitors NORTHAMPTON’s 60%, that’s a recipe for BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE in Yorkshire.
Odds correct at 1100 GMT (07/12/22)
