Welcome to your Across the Leagues Midweek Picks & Analysis email...
Before every round of games I hunt out the best value prices for the standout trends identified on our website.
Including my Picks – which are my idea of the best value prices available, having studied the stats... team news... latest match info... and above all, the odds and betting markets on offer...
There are five games taking place across League One and League Two tonight, and it’s the live-on-TV game that stands out on the stats...
Bolton for the Most Bookings...
Oxford Utd v Bolton Wanderers
League One, Tue 7.45pm – Sky Sports
- ‘Bolton – Most Booking Points’ bets have paid out in 4 of their last 5 away games
There’s a mismatch in the Cards & Bookings stats here, and the away team look the value...
The League One Cards & Bookings tables on our site show Oxford are the best-behaved team in the division in terms of ‘Most Bookings’ bets – receiving the most cards in just 7 of their 37 games (19%), and in just 2 out of 18 (11%) at the Kassam Stadium.
That prominent home record is backed up by the more recent form, too: Oxford haven’t picked up the Most Cards or Booking Points in any of their last 9 home league games. That’s a run that stretches right back to November.
In comparison, bets on Bolton to receive the Most Bookings have paid out in 4 of their last 5 away games. And this option also paid out in the reverse fixture up at the Macron Stadium, with Bolton getting 3 Yellow Cards (30 pts) compared to just one (10 pts) for Oxford.
For the season overall, Bolton have got the Most Bookings in over half of their away games (59%).
With this game live on TV we have a good few bookies offering Cards & Booking Points markets this evening – including Bet365, Paddy Power and Boylesports. But in terms of the Most Booking Points market, William Hill and Skybet are the two with the Bolton option that the stats point to...
Most Booking Points – Bolton is a best price Evens (2.00) with William Hill, or 10/11 (1.91) with Skybet. |
- Booking Points: Yellow Card = 10 pts. Red Card = 25 pts. Max. for one player in game = 35 pts (2 Yellows resulting in a Red)
Midweek Picks...
In summary, my pick of the prices this week is:
- Oxford v Bolton – Most Booking Points – Bolton @ Evens (2.00) with William Hill
|
Enjoy the midweek football.
I’ll be back on Friday afternoon with your Weekend Picks & Analysis email.
Until then,
Best wishes,
