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
Leicester may well have clicked into gear with their come-from-behind win over another high-flying side, Cardiff, in midweek. Paulo Sousa has a distinct way of playing the game and the Foxes clearly needed time to adapt. They showed last season they have a squad capable of achieving at this level, and they have the ability to trouble QPR. The Hoops have made a superb start but needed a late rally to hold Derby on their last trip to the midlands, and Leicester have more about them than the Rams. Back them at [2.68].

League One
Carlisle and Brighton are two teams in good form that look better than they did last season and the year before that. Carlisle have got off to a flying start, lying second in the table and unbeaten with 12 points. The 1-0 win at Sheffield Wednesday was their best yet but it wasn't a fluke - they've been playing that way all season. The case can be made for a good Albion show here, but Carlisle ([2.42]) have done enough to suggest their winning is not stopping.

League Two
Chesterfield certainly have a solid look about them at present and maybe this year a new stadium can be the spur that finally lifts them out of the division. A 100 per cent record at home bodes well, with front man Craig Davies and midfielder Dwayne Mattis providing much of the impetus, along with the creative midfielder Dean Morgan. Cheltenham have been good at home, but less so away, so the hosts should sneak a narrow victory at [1.9].
