No fluff. No gimmicks. Just solid tips — delivered straight to you.
Coventry vs Ipswich - Championship
Ipswich Win
Reason for Tip
Taking a risk on this one but at juicy odds, the league leaders Coventry hosts third place Ipswich in what should be an excellent match. Within the previous four head-to-head matches the visitors Ipswich have a perfect record, managing to win all four games.
Omonia v Ethnikos Achnas
Tip: Ethnikos Achnas Win or Draw (Double Chance)
This is a slightly riskier angle, but one backed by the recent head-to-head record. Omonia host Achnas in what should be a competitive contest, and the visitors have performed well in this fixture in recent seasons.
Across the last four head-to-head meetings, Achnas have lost just once, winning two and drawing the other. With that record in mind, taking Achnas on the double chance looks a sensible value play.

Leicester vs Derby - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The host’s Leicester have been involved in five matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, meanwhile the visitors Derby have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games.
Norwich vs Watford - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Norwich have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games. Within the previous five head-to-head matches, four have resulted in both teams scoring.
Sheff Wed vs Blackburn - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Sheffield Wednesday have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches. Meanwhile the visitors Blackburn have managed to score in four of their previous five matches.
Wrexham vs Preston - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Wrexham have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, meanwhile the visitors Preston have the same recent record, being involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches.
Fulham v Nottingham Forest
Fulham have been involved in BTTS results in all of their last five matches, highlighting how open their games have become. The head-to-head record also supports goals, with three of the last four meetings between these sides seeing both teams score.
Athletic Bilbao v Espanyol
Espanyol have managed to find the net in four of their previous five matches, while all three of the last head-to-head meetings with Athletic Bilbao have landed BTTS. With Bilbao strong at home but rarely keeping things tight, goals at both ends look likely again.
Jong Ajax v Waalwijk
Jong Ajax matches are rarely dull. They’ve seen BTTS land in all five of their previous matches, while the last five head-to-head meetings with Waalwijk have all produced goals at both ends. This looks one of the strongest BTTS selections on the card.
Jong Utrecht v Roda JC
Jong Utrecht have been involved in five consecutive BTTS matches, while Roda JC have seen BTTS land in four of their previous five games. With both sides regularly scoring and conceding, this fixture fits the BTTS profile well.
Middlesbrough vs Hull - Championship
Hull Win or Draw
Reason for Tip
The hosts Middlesbrough were in good form not long ago, up until their two most recent matches in which they have only returned one point. Meanwhile the visitors Hull come in-to the match unbeaten in their previous four matches, only dropping points on one occasion.
Millwall vs Bristol City - Championship
Bristol City Win
Reason for Tip
The hosts Millwall come in-to the match in bad form, being winless within their previous four league matches. Meanwhile the visitors Bristol City come in-to the match in much better form, managing to win both of their previous two matches.
Oxford vs Swansea - Championship
Swansea Win or Draw
Reason for Tip
The hosts Oxford United come in-to the match in bad form, only winning once within their previous five matches and have lost three games within those five matches.
Stoke vs Sheff Utd - Championship
Over 1.5 Goals
Reason for Tip
The visitors Sheffield United have been involved in five matches resulting in over 1.5 match goals within their previous five matches. Within the previous five head-to-head matches, all five games have resulted in both teams scoring.
Leicester vs Derby - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The host’s Leicester have been involved in five matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, meanwhile the visitors Derby have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games.
Norwich vs Watford - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Norwich have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, managing to score in all five games. Within the previous five head-to-head matches, four have resulted in both teams scoring.
Sheff Wed vs Blackburn - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Sheffield Wednesday have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches. Meanwhile the visitors Blackburn have managed to score in four of their previous five matches.
Wrexham vs Preston - Championship
BTTS - Yes
Reason for Tip
The hosts Wrexham have been involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches, meanwhile the visitors Preston have the same recent record, being involved in four matches resulting in both teams scoring within their previous five matches.
Alverca v FC Porto
Tip: Porto to Win
Alverca have lost five of their previous eight matches, while Porto arrive in excellent form, winning four consecutive games. The visitors should have too much quality here.
Benfica v Famalicão
Tip: Benfica to Win
Benfica are unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four of them. Famalicão, meanwhile, have lost two of their last three. Home form and momentum strongly favour Benfica.
Gençlerbirliği v Trabzonspor
Tip: Both Teams To Score
Gençlerbirliği have scored in three of their last four matches, while Trabzonspor have found the net in four of their previous five. With both sides capable of contributing, BTTS looks the best angle here.
AEL Limassol v AEK Larnaca
Tip: Over 1.5 Match Goals
AEL Limassol have been involved in over 1.5 goals in four of their last five matches, with AEK Larnaca showing the same recent trend. Two goals looks a very achievable line in this fixture.
