Cardiff vs Millwall: Both teams to score

Stevenage to beat Burton

AFC Wimbledon vs Swindon: Over 2.5 goals

Notts County win & Over 2.5 goals

 

Cardiff vs Millwall

Two sides who aren’t in the greatest form face off in the Championship this weekend as Cardiff City host Millwall.

Both of these teams have picked up one win in their last five and will see this fixture as a great opportunity.

Before drawing a blank at home against West Brom, the Bluebirds had found the net in every home game.

They have managed three clean sheets from nine games at the Cardiff City Stadium but haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last four league games.

On the other hand, Millwall have scored in all four away games since Joe Edwards was appointed manager.

The Lions haven’t been tight at the back, only managing one clean sheet under Edwards, so neither of these sides look convincing defensively, making both teams to score a good bet.

 

 

Burton Albion vs Stevenage

Burton Albion are currently on a poor run of form having won twice in their last ten matches, losing six.

Both of those wins came in the EFL Trophy against lower-league opposition.

It’s five games without a win in League One and four games without a goal. They take on a Stevenage side who are having an excellent season so far.

The newly promoted club currently sit fourth in the division and have won six times on the road already this season.

I’m backing both teams' form to continue and Stevenage to pick up the win.

 

 

AFC Wimbledon vs Swindon Town

Two prolific sides face off at the Cherry Red Records Stadium in a game that looks like it’ll have goals.

Although AFC Wimbledon have struggled to score on the road recently (one goal in five), their home form has been excellent.

They’ve scored two or more in each of their last six matches and thirty-two in total across all competitions, only failing to score once.

The team have kept three clean sheets in their last four home matches, but only one of those was in the league.

The other two came against Crystal Palace Under-21s and eighth-tier Ramsgate.

They’ve conceded in every other home game, meaning games at Wimbledon’s ground have seen an average of 3.5 goals per game.

Swindon Town, however, have conceded 52 goals in 10 games, an average of 2.08 goals per game. They have not kept a clean sheet in any of these games.

Despite their porous defence, they sit one point and one place outside of the playoff picture.

They score two goals per game, meaning that their games have seen an average of 4.08 goals.

Although these sides have played out 0-0 draws in recent seasons, the last two meetings on this ground have finished 5-1 and 4-1.

 

 

Notts County vs Walsall

Notts County, second-favourites for the League Two title, have met bookies' expectations so far this season as they look to make it back-to-back promotions.

Their home record has been strong, winning eight of ten matches, with their only losses coming against fellow contenders Wrexham and Mansfield.

Walsall are not going to be challenging for promotion as they currently sit 19th. Their away record is typical for a side in their position. They’ve won twice, drawn twice and lost six times.

While 4/7 on a County win may be backable, a bigger price is a home win and over 2.5 goals. 

All eight of Notts County’s home wins have had over 2.5 goals, while all but two of Walsall’s away games have featured three or more goals.
