Football Accumulator Tips: This Week’s Acca from Sporting Life for Saturday
A successful week for our accumulator tips, with an 8/1 winner on Easter Monday moving the team to +40pts profit for the season. Our expert analysts at Sporting Life have been busy compiling a new set of tips for Saturday’s fixtures, and we are backing four home sides for success.
According to Sporting Life, Blackburn Rovers are looking to build on their recent form, which has kept them in with a chance of securing a top-six finish. The team beat Sunderland last time out, alongside a 4-1 hammering of Millwall in their previous home game. This impressive run should put them in a good spot as they welcome a Watford team who have lost each of their last four away matches. As noted by Sporting Life, "Rovers looked like their campaign would dissolve into mid-table disappointment following Valérien Ismaël’s appointment but recent form has improved."
In Sky Bet League One, Stockport are aiming for promotion to the Championship and are still within a chance of automatic promotion given the way the fixture list plays out. To achieve this, it’s crucial for them to beat Lincoln, and the Hatters should have confidence given their home form – they’ve won 15 of 22 in front of their own supporters, which is the third-best record in the league, as reported by Sporting Life.
At the other end of the table, Crawley are battling for survival, but the return of Scott Lindsey has given them some life. They held Birmingham to a draw in their Friday trip to the champions, while they beat Exeter 3-1 last time out. Northampton’s form has been mixed, and they have little to play for, which could make it an easier match for Crawley. As Sporting Life pointed out, "They held Birmingham to a draw in their Friday trip to the champions while they beat Exeter 3-1 last time out."
In Sky Bet League Two, Chesterfield will be aiming to capitalise on the fact that Colchester and Salford play each other, in order to strengthen their own play-off potential. The Spireites are three points off the top seven and welcome bottom club Morecambe on Saturday, a side whose fate has already been sealed. According to Sporting Life, "The Spireites are three points off the top seven and welcome bottom club Morecambe on Saturday, a side whose fate has already been sealed."
For those looking for a bigger price, Sporting Life’s experts also discussed a few other teams on the latest episode of the This Week’s Acca podcast. One of those was Burton, whose revival under Gary Bowyer sees them sitting outside the relegation zone on goal difference. Saturday sees them welcoming one of those in the bottom four in Cambridge, with just two of the Brewers’ last eight in front of their own supporters ending in defeat. As noted by Sporting Life, "Just two of the Brewers’ last eight in front of their own supporters has ended in defeat."
Sticking with the survival theme, Carlisle have given themselves a fighting chance in League Two – two wins and a draw in their last three has moved them to within four points of safety. It’s a must-win on Saturday then, and a Cheltenham side with nothing to play for in lower mid-table gives them a good chance to do just that, as reported by Sporting Life.
