Blackpool vs Sheffield United Best Bet
Wed, 16th March, 19:45 (UK time)
Blackpool have scored in each game since December 18th, a head-turning 15 games on the spin. Sheffield United have had a wobble, throwing question marks over their push for the playoffs.
The Blades slumped to consecutive losses away from home. Firstly, Millwall managed a slim 1-0 victory at The Den. Most recently, a resounding defeat at the hands of Coventry humbled Paul Heckingbottom and company at the weekend.
Now, United travel to Blackpool in the hope of dampening any concerns of deflating Premier League ambitions.
I’ll be ignoring Bloomfield Road’s season statistics with my next pick. In 19 games, BTTS has proved successful on only five occasions. That’s a mere 26% strike rate for those who enjoy punting on each side to score. In terms of BTTS rankings, only Barnsley have recorded less at home in the second tier.
The midweek event in Blackpool is of huge importance in the battle for the playoffs. With the firepower available, the visitors have more than enough to trouble any side in this league on their day. Nonetheless, it would take a brave person to back against Blackpool scoring at home.
Just 3 of 14 home fixtures since the start of October have borne witness to The Tangerines blanking in front of goal.
- Selection: Yes on BTTS
- Best Odds: 2.00 (William Hill)
- Stakes: 10/10

Luton vs Preston Best Bet
Wed, 16th March, 19:45 (UK time)
Bar the QPR defeat which will no doubt be gut-wrenching for fans and players alike, Luton have been superb. The Hatters were unbeaten in seven at Kenilworth Road before Sunday, a home record in need of continuing for playoff aspirations.
The -0.25 Asian Handicap selection here returns half of your stake if the contest ends in a draw. That additional security, plus Luton’s performances in 2022, should provide some reassurance.
The success of this bet hinges on Nathan Jones’ side’s reaction to the 2-1 loss to QPR. If Jones can galvanise his squad to lift themselves off the canvas, Luton have every chance of turning Preston over.
Ryan Lowe’s managerial switch was an inspired move by the powers that be at Preston. His work at Plymouth Argyle was certainly deserving of a move to a more prestigious league.
Since Lowe’s arrival, Preston lost just 2 of 16 Championship games. That stat alone should provide enough information around how difficult a task this will be for the hosts. Lowe’s stewardship alongside Preston’s 2-0 October victory over The Hatters indicates the home side have their work cut out.
Despite the risk, Luton to win is definitely worth a go at a touch under evens with the handicap’s security.
- Selection: Luton Town -0.25 (AH)
- Best Odds: 1.95 (bet365)
- Stakes: 6/10
Peterborough vs Swansea Best Bet
Wed, 16th March, 19:45 (UK time)
The Posh enter the fray on Wednesday evening on the back of two impressive results. It was honours even in Bournemouth before twice clawing their way back into the game against Stoke City.
Grant McCann, Peterborough’s new man on the sidelines, has stated his pride in both performances. However, with the team’s perilous position in the table, McCann will need much more for a likelihood of survival.
Peterborough languishes seven points adrift with a vast goal difference. The two recent fixtures may have given hope, but now a win versus Swansea is imperative.
The Swans’ life in the Championship is stuttering, too. Five losses in ten, including two on the bounce, implies all is not well in Wales.
Russel Martin’s Swansea outfit has received 16 points away from home this season. Only the bottom three own a worse points-haul on the road.
I don’t anticipate miracles from Peterborough. Nevertheless, couple their glimmer of hope with Swansea’s away form and we may be onto something. The Swans have conceded in 8/10 recent fixtures, whereas their opponents’ 23 in 25 makes grim reading.
I’m hanging my hat on BTTS in this one, in the hope both remember their shooting boots.
- Selection: Yes on BTTS
- Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10

WHAT IS A CHAMPIONSHIP ACCA?
A Championship acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A Championship acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create Championship accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the Championship acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
