Sheffield Wednesday to beat Swansea
Punters are backing Sheffield Wednesday to bounce back to form this weekend after a disappointing loss to Blackburn last week. Gary Monk’s men home form has been very strong and they are turning Hillsborough into a fortress. They have only lost once all season at home and only conceded three goals in seven games. They face a tough task welcoming Swansea but punters think they will be too strong for the Swans and pick up all three points. They are a best price of 5/4.
QPR may have lost their last two games but that isn’t stopping punters getting their money down on the West London side. They faced a tough test in Leeds United this week and Middlesbrough should be far easier to deal with. They are in dire form and find themselves 22nd in the table. They haven’t won in eight games and it looks like something has got to give soon. The situation is looking desperate for Johnathan Woodgate and QPR are being backed to pile further misery on him this weekend. They are a best price of 10/11.
Morecambe find themselves at the foot of the League Two table and despite winning last weekend punters cannot see them causing Blackpool any trouble. Blackpool are looking like strong outfit for League One and should have a promotion challenging campaign. They beat a very good Peterborough 4-3 in a thriller last weekend and should carry that form into this Saturday. Morecambe’s main focus will be on surviving the drop this season and this should be straightforward for Blackpool. They are a best price of 7/15.
In what would be a huge FA Cup story, non-league Darlington are being backed to beat League Two Walsall. Darlington have hit a strong patch of form winning three of their last four games, just in time for this clash. Walsall, on the other hand, are in dire form having lost their last six games. If there was ever a match that could cause an upset it would be this one. The Darlington team will be full of confidence and with nothing to lose they may just fancy themselves. Walsall are woefully out of form and punters think a cup upset is on the cards. They are a best price of 8/1.
