Best places to bet in the football pyramid
Betting@Betfair have experts for every division in the Football League, and here are their top tips for this weekend's action...
Championship
Coventry won at Bristol City last week and have already got a couple of home successes under their belt. The signing of Marlon King could prove to be a masterstroke by manager Aidy Boothroyd, if King can let his football do the talking. The striker clearly comes with some off-field baggage, but he is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, never mind at this level. Visitors Preston are poor on the road: three defeats in three away trips, and nine goals conceded. Back the hosts at [2.16].
League One
Huddersfield sit top, and their Achilles heel from last season has to some extent been rectified early, with two wins on their travels already. Their hosts Swindon reached the play-offs last season, and are playing just like they used to. Danny Wilson bought a few players in the summer, and the squad are starting to click. After a slow start, the team are moving forward and playing some nice football. Huddersfield are still not bomb-proof at the back, whilst Swindon's build-up play has been first class. Back the draw at [3.4].
League Two
The fun of betting on a big game is to be brave and go with your conviction. Rotherham have one of the strongest teams in the division and should not be underestimated despite the form that places Saturday's visitors Chesterfield above them in the table. Yes, the Spireites have made an unbeaten start and have drawn all three of their away games, but Ronnie Moore's Millers retain the services of the mercurial Adam Le Fondre, League Two's current top scorer. Trust them to triumph at [2.2].
