⭐ Bet of the Day

Charlton v Coventry – Coventry to Win

We’re taking a calculated risk here, but the price makes plenty of appeal.

Charlton come into this fixture in poor form, having managed just one win from their previous five matches, losing three times in that run. Performances have dipped, and confidence looks fragile.

Coventry arrive as the more reliable side and also hold a strong recent record in this fixture. The visitors are unbeaten in the previous four head-to-head meetings, winning three and drawing once. With form and history on their side, Coventry are taken to edge this one.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Tips

Crystal Palace v Fulham – BTTS

Crystal Palace have been involved in three BTTS results in their last four matches, while Fulham continue to score with consistency, finding the net in all five of their previous five games. Goals at both ends look likely.

Liverpool v Leeds – BTTS

Liverpool have scored in all five of their previous five matches, with three producing BTTS. Leeds matches remain open and attacking, with BTTS landing in five consecutive games. Expect chances at both ends.

Bristol City v Portsmouth – BTTS

Bristol City have scored in each of their last three matches, with two seeing BTTS land. Portsmouth have been involved in four straight matches where both teams have scored, making this another strong BTTS angle.

Derby v Middlesbrough – BTTS

Derby have scored in five matches in a row, with BTTS landing in four of their last five. Middlesbrough have seen BTTS land in seven of their previous ten matches, making this a well-supported selection.

Accumulator Tips

Brentford v Tottenham – Over 1.5 Match Goals

Brentford have seen over 1.5 goals in all of their last five matches, while Tottenham have cleared this line in four of their previous five games. A steady and reliable way to start the acca.

Sunderland v Manchester City – Manchester City to Win

Sunderland have struggled badly, managing just one win in their previous five matches. Manchester City arrive in outstanding form, having won eight consecutive games, and should have too much quality across the pitch.

Hull v Stoke – Hull to Win

Hull are in excellent form, unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four of them. Stoke have won just once in their previous seven matches, losing five. Everything points towards a home win.

Preston v Sheffield Wednesday – Preston to Win

Sheffield Wednesday are in dreadful shape, winless in their previous 15 matches, and confidence is clearly low. Preston have won both recent head-to-head meetings and should be well placed to continue that dominance.
