Odds correct from bet365 as at 17:00 January 20th 2022 Odds may now differ.
Selection 1: Leyton Orient vs Port Vale Best Bet – Leyton Orient to Win
The billing
Two experienced, promotion-winning managers looking to get their respective sides’ promotion push back on track after a recent blip.
Hosts’ form
Orient hold the unusual distinction of being 13th with the second-best goal difference, +16, in the division.
Kenny Jackett’s side have not won since 7th December due to a combination of call-offs and a run of three straight defeats – to Crawley and Tranmere in the league, Stoke in the FA Cup.
Organised, fit, ruthless as well as doing the simple things well consistently, the O’s definitely have the credentials to rejoin the promotion conversation.
Visitors’ form
Even with all the valid, mitigating factors in the world – COVID, injuries, postponements and tough opposition including a Premier League side in Vale’s case – it can be difficult to stay positive after four consecutive defeats in all competitions.
Darrell Clarke’s troops have started games in laboured fashion lately which, however understandable, is a trend the Burslem outfit must nip in the bud if they are to recapture their strong form.
The Tactics Board
Orient keep a compact shape but break out of it very quickly with early balls into target man Harry Smith and relentless runner Aaron Drinan, springing forward from there.
Prediction & Best Bet
Orient to win at 2.20.

Selection 2: Salford City vs Colchester United Best Bet – Salford to Win
The billing
Change of playing personnel for Salford, coaching for Colchester: which will have the greater impact?
Hosts’ form
The Ammies are a notoriously well-backed club, so the signings of midfielders Ryan Watson and Stephen Kelly plus target man Matt Smith hardly come as a surprise: Gary Bowyer, though, must now deliver a strong Play-Off tilt off the back of those eye-catching acquisitions.
Visitors’ form
Head coach Hayden Mullins was dismissed from Colchester after a run of five consecutive league defeats left the Essex club just three points above the drop zone.
U’s fans believe their squad is capable of better with improved management, although whether that will come under the interim guidance of Wayne Brown is debateable, but are short on firepower – both in attack, Freddie Sears aside, and from midfield.
The Tactics Board
Salford will look to Rangers loanee Kelly to dictate proceedings for Gary Bowyer’s side, who may have control of the middle third and seek lofty diagonals into Smith, who would then look to bring the likes of Ryan Watson and Conor McAleny into the game.
Wayne Brown, meanwhile, will set the U’s up for a scrap: neither Tom Eastman, Luke Chambers nor Tommy Smith could win an individual duel against the opposing target man, so defending will be all about dealing with the second balls.
Prediction & Best Bet
Boosted by those arrivals, Salford can justify 1.73 quotes for victory.
More Salford vs Colchester Tips
Selection 3: Sutton United vs Northampton Town Best Bet – Northampton to Win
The billing
Few outsiders believe Sutton and Northampton will still be in the mix for automatic promotion come April – this is their window to prove them wrong.
Hosts’ form
If Sutton’s last two games had finished on the 90-minute mark, Matt Gray’s side would have accrued one point from Stevenage and Colchester combined.
With injury-time, they gained an extra three, thanks to a 98th-minute leveller from Richie Bennett and an iconic midweek winner from Will Randall-Hurren.
The Amber & Chocolates might not be playing teams off the park, but they don’t know when they’re beaten: that spirit can go a long way.
Visitors’ form
Talking of late drama, Northampton swerved a third consecutive defeat against Forest Green last time out, thanks to Mitch Pinnock’s 95th-minute equalizer: the last kick of the game.
Cobblers boss Jon Brady could take a lot of heart from his side’s showing against the leaders, which represented a defiant response to defeats to Swindon and Crawley, and there is hope that the loan arrivals of Chanka Zimba from Cardiff and Tyler Magloire from Blackburn can strengthen Teyn.
The Tactics Board
After making an impact from the bench on Saturday, Zimba may be handed the chance to utilize his pace and power from the outset against Sutton centre-backs Ben Goodliffe and Louis John.
Prediction & Best Bet
Northampton look underrated, priced at 3.10 to secure the three points that would guarantee their place in the top three for another week.

Selection 4: Walsall vs Exeter City Best Bet – Exeter to Win
The billing
The Matt Taylor Derby. Out of English football’s five national divisions, two have two different managers sharing the same name.
Hosts’ form
Walsall are under something of a cloud at present, with back-to-back league defeats providing a hammer blow to their Play-Off aspirations, while concerns linger over relations behind the scenes.
Visitors’ form
After a comprehensive 2-0 victory over Scunthorpe, inspired by star showings from progressive passing defender Pierce Sweeney and technical forward Jevani Brown, Exeter can still harbour top three aspirations.
The Grecians may currently be outside the top seven, but they are six points off the automatic promotion places with a game in hand.
The Tactics Board
Saddlers defender Tom Leak, who has been standing in recently with Ash Taylor departed and Manny Monthe banned, struggled to cope with Mansfield’s Jordan Bowery last week and will not relish any footraces with speedy Exeter striker Offrande Zanzala.
Prediction & Best Bet
Backing Exeter could be one of the best bets anyone can make this weekend, with the Grecians available at a tasty 2.75 for victory.

What is an EFL Acca?
An EFL Acca is a type of betting that involves combining several selections across different matches with one single stake. An acca or accumulator usually has at least four selections but it can include many many more. An EFL acca is one such bet that only involves matches from the EFL or English Football League, the second to the fourth tiers of English football. The benefits of an EFL acca are that the odds can be massive with a very small stake as the odds for all selections are multiplied together. Every pick needs to win or your EFL acca will lose.
