After a dismal couple of days for the Bo Challenge, we return to action with a packed weekend of Easter football across the continent with today's action mostly coming from the English Championship and lower leagues while in Spain, Atletico Madrid will look to edge a step closer to a stunning title by seeing off lowly Elche at the Vincente Calderon.
My focus this weekend will of course be on the Saturday and Sunday action but for today's card I have a "Taaty Treble" and an "Amazing Acca" so hopefully we can find a little Easter luck and come Sunday we will are sure to be gorging on the Chocolate of our labour :) In the Championship, Blackburn play host to Yeovil in a game that is likely to see some goals. Blackburn have scored 2 or more goals in their last 7 outings in this division and with an unlikely play-off charge still in motion, I expect the pattern to continue today against a Yeovil side who have shipped 41 goals on the road this season, the worst tally in the league. Blackburn to score 2 or more goals is priced at 4/7 There are 7 games in the Championship today and I strongly fancy victories for Bournemouth, Burnley and Blackburn with Brighton also a possibility at Huddersfield. Indeed today could well be a day for team's beginning with the letter "B". and some of these selections will form part of my "Amazing Acca" In League 1 in England, we are looking for goals and should find them at Port Vale as they entertain MK Dons. The Dons have won each of their last 5 away games with BTTS and over 2.5 goals occurring in all 5 while Port Vale themselves have won their last 3 at home with 4 out of 6 resulting in BTTS and I am optimistic the pattern will continue today. In Spain, Atletico are the story of the year, if not the decade with their uncompromising brand of intense, high pressure football reaping all the rewards as they proudly sit top of La Liga with 4 games to go. I simply cannot see the bandwagon coming off it's rails this evening and while they are short at 1/5, when you consider that Barcelona are frequently 1/20 to win at home, you can see that there is still some value to be had in adding Atletico to my tasty treble. Elche are no mugs and it might well only be 1 or 2 goals in it, but I fully expect Simeone's men to edge 1 step closer to the holy grail and take the 3 points. It's not an easy card today so I won't be going crazy so let's hope my "Tasty Treble" can get us back on course. My final bets to follow shortly. Comments are closed.
