Top five Npower Football League punts
With all the Champions League action taking place this evening it could be easy to forget about events lower down the football pyramid. However, there are some cracking games to look forward to and we've included some of them in our five best punts for this evening's action...
Brighton v Exeter
We start with the League One leaders, Brighton. Having been on a brilliant run of form that has seen them go 11 games without defeat, Gus Poyet's men are currently eight points clear at the top of the table and haven't even conceded a goal in their previous three victories. With Exeter losing three of their last four games, we can't see past a win for Brighton at [1.63].
Walsall v Peterborough
At the other end of the table, bottom club Walsall face a Peterborough side who currently lie in fifth place, despite a truly dreadful run of form. The Posh have won only two of their last seven games in all competitions and have lost their last seven on the road. Walsall have lost nine of their previous 11 matches however, so a win may be beyond them. Back a draw at [3.55].
Brentford v Bournemouth
After a dreadful start to their season that saw them bag just one win in their first seven games, Brentford have picked up in recent weeks winning three on the bounce. With Bournemouth recording a single win in their last five games, combined with the fact that they'll be missing striker Ryan Garry through injury, it will be hard for them to get anything out of this game. Back a home win at [2.4].
Chesterfield v Accrington Stanley
In League Two, leaders Chesterfield host an Accrington Stanley side that have won just three games all season in the league, they are without a win in four and should struggle. Chesterfield have not lost at home since March and should come out on top at [1.81].
Bury v Bradford
Bury are just one point behind Chesterfield at the top of League Two and Bradford manager Peter Taylor expects a "massive test". It's one Bradford should fail, with Bury winning their last four games. Bradford have won only two of their previous 13 away games and should lose to Bury at [1.81].
