Best places to bet in the football pyramid
With the help of the Football League experts on Betting.Betfair, we've picked out a team to back in each division this weekend, as well as combining them in a multiple...
Championship
The two clubs immediately above the relegation zone, Leicester and Preston, meet at the Walkers Stadium and while both remain incredibly patchy, making the outcome a tough call, one thing that they've guaranteed recently is goals, especially the visitors. Preston's last ten matches in all competitions have featured a whopping 27 goals, 13 for them and 14 for their opponents, and those statistics coupled with Jon Parkin's recent form make over 2.5 goals appear a great bet at [1.81].
League One
Achieving survival when widely tipped for the drop is all about picking your moments and beating the sides around you, and that was something John Still got spot on when Dagenham and Redbridge stayed up in 2007-08, their first season in the Football League. The Daggers are bottom of League One despite losing less than half of their 13 games, so need to start winning. Three points against Hartlepool, who have netted just three times in six away outings, is a perfect place to start at [2.34].
League Two
Attack! Apparently that's Gary Waddock's orders, believing that Wycombe are playing catch-up after too many draws at the start of the season. It got Aldershot promoted and it should make watching Wycombe fun, starting with last week's stunning 4-3 victory at Rotherham. With disquiet in the stands - the Supporters Trust has not backed plans to stadium share with Wasps - Waddock needs to give them a tonic. The visit of Lincoln should provide an excellent chance. Take a home win at [1.63].
Want to combine the suggestions? A tenner treble on wins for Dagenham and Wycombe and over 2.5 goals in the Leicester game pays out £53.20 when placed using the Betfair Coupon.
