Match Selection
Leicester v Preston Over 2.5 Goals

Acca Reasoning

Leicester v Preston – Preston games have seen plenty of goals recently and the last four head-to-head meetings have all seen over 2.5 goals.

Coventry v Derby – Coventry have scored in five straight games and Derby have scored in four of their last five, so both teams to score looks likely.

Blackpool v Exeter – Blackpool are in good form and Exeter are winless in ten matches, losing six of those.

Bradford v Northampton – Both teams have seen BTTS land in their last two matches and recent head-to-head meetings also suggest goals at both ends.

Tipmans's Final Word

Friday night football is often great for goals and we’re expecting BTTS to be a strong angle again tonight, with several teams in good scoring form but not keeping many clean sheets.

Our main focus today is Norwich to win, alongside a BTTS-heavy acca, which has the potential to be a strong return if it lands.

Good luck if you’re having a bet tonight.
