Once again, BetVictor are back with their “Top-Priced Teams” of the weekend. Incredible value can be found in ten teams from the English football league, in which their prices trump all their competitors; jump on these sides to get the job done this weekend!
Middlesbrough and West Brom are two top-priced sides from the Championship with two very winnable home matches. Boro’ take on Reading at the Riverside who are struggling to keep their head above water in 20th position, whereas the Baggies invite nearly-relegated Rotherham to the Hawthorns with a home victory emphasising their hold on fourth spot in the league. Both sides have won their last two home matches, and are well positioned to make it three on the spin this weekend.
Birmingham invite Wigan to St. Andrews having gone unbeaten in their last five outings. Wigan’s survival means there will be little for the Latics to play for on Saturday, with the two points difference between the sides an unfair reflection of the gulf between them following Birmingham’s nine-point deduction. Swansea are the other side worth a look in the Championship. A win at home to Hull (who have lost their last three on the bounce) will keep them in the hunt for a playoff spot (just) at this late stage. Swansea have won seven of their last eight home Championship matches, underlining their pedigree.
Southampton have a very winnable game on Saturday in their South Coast derby against Bournemouth. After a solid start to the season, the Cherries have popped in 2019 conceding worrying amounts of goals. The Saints still need a point or two to confirm safety; Bournemouth don’t travel too well and will be lacking motivation in late April.
Three wins on the spin scoring nine goals, Barnsley are worth a punt in their home tie against Blackpool. The hosts are still chasing Luton for the League One title, with both sides’ main focus on automatic promotion. Luton travel to Burton having lost just five times in 44 league matches this season; their 86 goals are a testament to the threat they pose any defence – Burton have conceded five in their last two outings.
Scunthorpe still have a chance of escaping the drop, and although they have failed to win in their last seven, Saturday sees them host already relegation Bradford City. A home win is a must here, putting pressure on Wimbledon, Plymouth and Southend above them.
Carlisle and Mansfield grab the attention in League Two. Mansfield need three points to continue their chase for the automatic promotion spots, with Carlisle looking for an entrance to the playoff spots around the back door. Both have very winnable home matches, with a Mansfield win over Stevenage helping Carlisle in their playoff push. The way League Two is shaping up, it wouldn’t be a surprise if these two crossed paths in the playoffs.
