Brentford and Sheffield United both to record important wins, plus more tips in our latest enhanced acca...
Brentford to beat Wolves – {ODDS:143710981:5/4}
First up, it’s hard to predict anything other than a Wolves defeat.
Paul Lambert’s side have picked up just four points from their last seven league games and are currently just a point above the bottom three.
Given that their only win in that period came at home to rock-bottom Rotherham, who have picked up just one away point all season, Brentford have nothing to fear.
The Bees have won three of their last five and at odds-against, represent good value.
Sheffield United to beat Swindon – {ODDS:143830503:4/7}
League-leaders Sheffield United should stroll to victory at the County Ground.
Having lost just one in 16 on the road, they boast League One’s best away record.
They have also scored 37 away goals – eight more than any other team – and, with a nine-point buffer to third, are destined for promotion.
Swindon, meanwhile, look set for the drop.
The Robins have been beaten in seven of their last 10 games – losing back-to-back matches against bottom-four sides – and are four points from safety.
Given that they have failed to score in four of their last seven home games, another disappointing result looks a certainty.
Northampton to beat Port Vale – {ODDS:143750116:3/4}
Port Vale are another side likely to succumb to the drop.
They are winless in 12 on the road and have picked up just nine away points all season.
Northampton, meanwhile, have improved from a mid-season blip to move into mid-table.
The Cobblers have won four out of five at Sixfields and have not failed to score in eight.
Considering the Valiants have drawn blanks in seven of their last 10 away from Vale Park, a home win is nailed on.
Portsmouth to beat Grimsby – {ODDS:143759995:9/20}
After back-to-back wins in League Two, Portsmouth are hitting form at just the right time.
That six-point haul has lifted Paul Cook’s side from fifth to third in the League Two table and they should be expected to consolidate that position here.
Pompey have lost just once in eight, keeping five clean sheets in the process.
They should continue that form against Grimsby, whose recent away form has been poor – despite a 3-0 win over relegation-bound Leyton Orient on Saturday.
That fixture was the first away game in five that the Mariners have scored in, and only their fourth point from an available 15.
It is unlikely they will add to that here.
Accrington to beat Leyton Orient – {ODDS:143753484:11/20}
Finally, Accrington should be expected to keep their impressive run going at the expense of struggling Leyton Orient.
Having gone six matches unbeaten, Stanley have lifted themselves from 21st to 16th in League Two – extinguishing any lingering relegation worries.
Orient, however, are deep in the mire.
Having lost 10 of their last 13 and conceded in all but one of their last 16, they occupy the first relegation spot and are six points from safety.
Their sorry situation isn’t going to improve at Accrington.
