Weekend Stats Picks…
It’s the final round of regular season games in the Football League this weekend…
All the Championship games kick off at 12.30pm on Sunday. League One is in action at 5.30pm Saturday, with League Two in the usual 3pm Saturday slot.
Your Stats Picks email is designed to draw as many standout stats & highly-rated bet opportunities as possible from the wealth of data on your members-only Across the Leagues website.
Here are this weekend’s top stats and picks:
FORM TEAM
This weekend’s Form Team pick takes us to the top of League One…
Bristol Rovers v Barnsley
League One, Sat 5.30pm
- Barnsley have won 4 games in a row – and 4 of their last 6 Away
With one game to go, Barnsley are 2nd in League One on Goal Difference, level on points with Luton. The Tykes are already Promoted but the title & champion’s trophy is still up for grabs – they need to better Luton’s result.
Opponents Bristol Rovers have only had one win in 9 games. There is little riding on this game for Rovers, who are 16th and will finish in the bottom half of the table whatever happens.
Barnsley to win is 4/6 (1.67) with Bet365, Ladbrokes, Coral, Boylesports, Betfred, Marathonbet, NetBet.
GOALS MATCH-UPS
After a 3/1 winning Treble last weekend, we have 4 top-rated Goals selections that make the cut this time…
Standout match-ups this weekend:
- St Johnstone v Livingston (Scottish Premiership, Sat 3pm). Under 2.5 Goals bets have paid out in 6 of St Johnstone’s last 7 Home games, and in 4 of Livingston’s last 5 Away. Overall, there have been 2 or less goals in 5 of St Johnstone’s last 6 games, and in 71% of Livingston’s Away games for the season. Under 2.5 Goals is 8/13 (1.62)
- Ipswich v Leeds (Championship, Sun 3pm). Under 2.5 Goals bets have paid out in 8 of Ipswich’s last 9 Home games, and in 4 of Leeds’ last 5 Away. Overall, this bet has paid out in 8 of Ipswich’s last 10 games and in 5 of Leeds’ last 6 games. Under 2.5 Goals is 11/10 (2.10)
- Blackpool v Gillingham (League One, Sat 5.30pm). Both Teams to Score bets have paid out in 4 of Blackpool’s last 5 Home games, and in 4 of Gillingham’s last 5 Away. Blackpool have kept just one Clean Sheet in their last 13 games; Gillingham haven’t kept a Clean Sheet in any of their last 9. Both Teams to Score is 3/4 (1.75)
- Portsmouth v Accrington (League One, Sat 5.30pm). Both Teams to Score bets have paid out in 4 of Portsmouth’s last 5 Home games, and in 4 of Accrington’s last 5 Away games. There have been goals at both ends in 6 Portsmouth games in a row, and in 5 of Accrington’s last 6. Accrington are 17 games without a Clean Sheet. Both Teams to Score is 10/11 (1.91)
The 4-fold Acca on those Goals selections pays 10/1+ (11.00+) with Bet365 and Marathonbet, 9/1+ (10.00+) in general.
WINNING STREAK
Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic are the No.1 team on our website for Most Corners payouts this season, with an 88% strike-rate…
Aberdeen v Celtic
Scottish Premiership, Sat 12.30pm – Sky Sports
- Celtic have won the Most Corners in 9 league games in a row
Aberdeen have a good Most Corners record themselves (71% Home). But those stats fall away when you look at their results against the champions. Aberdeen have won the Most Corners in just one of their last 15 games v Celtic in the Scottish Premiership.
Most Corners – Celtic is 4/6 (1.67) with Skybet, 11/20 (1.55) William Hill, 1/2+ (1.50+) Boylesports, BetVictor, Bet365, 888 Sport, Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook. Some bookies call this market the Corners Match Bet.
