We picked out a 30/1 accumulator winner for the midweek EFL matches, check out our five-fold for Saturday here.
Saturday's EFL schedule provides another packed afternoon of football, and we have picked out five teams from across the Championship, League One and League Two to create a 20/1 win accumulator.
West Brom and Leicester make up our two Championship selections, before we head into League One with Reading and Bradford. Accrington complete the five-fold at home to Crawley in League Two.
West Brom vs Watford: West Brom to win
West Brom look a strong opening selection despite being held to a 1-1 draw by Charlton in midweek. James Morrison's side have made an encouraging start to 2026/27, taking seven points from their opening four Championship matches, including victories over Norwich and Burnley.
The Baggies have also found the net in all six competitive fixtures this season, scoring 13 goals across that run. The Hawthorns has already looked a difficult place to visit, with Albion beating Burnley 3-1 in their first home league game before drawing with an in-form Charlton side.
Home advantage was particularly significant last season too. West Brom lost only five of their 23 Championship matches at The Hawthorns, compared with 14 defeats on their travels.
Watford arrive in considerably less convincing form. The Hornets are winless in four competitive matches, a sequence that includes a damaging 5-1 Carabao Cup defeat to League One Peterborough and Tuesday's 2-0 loss at Swansea.
Their problems away from Vicarage Road also stretch back to last season, when they won only four of 23 Championship away fixtures. There is encouragement from the most recent meeting at The Hawthorns too, with West Brom running out comfortable 3-0 winners in April.
Albion have been the more convincing side through the opening weeks, are scoring consistently and face a Watford team continuing to struggle away from home.
Leicester vs Oxford: Leicester to win
Leicester finally got their League One campaign moving in the right direction on Tuesday, beating Plymouth 2-0 at the King Power Stadium through quick-fire first-half goals from Will Alves and Harry Howell.
The Foxes were worthy winners against Plymouth, registering 66% possession, 18 shots and 1.49 expected goals. Their only home league defeat this season came against Burton in a match where Oliver Skipp was sent off during the first half, while Leicester have also beaten Northampton at the King Power in the Carabao Cup.
Oxford travel to Leicester after suffering their first league defeat of the season, going down 3-1 at Huddersfield on Tuesday. The underlying numbers made particularly grim reading, with Huddersfield generating 3.65 xG from 24 shots, compared with Oxford's five attempts and 1.01 xG.
With the Foxes beginning to settle under Martin and carrying consecutive clean sheets into the weekend, they are fancied to make home advantage count again.
OFFER WIDGET
Reading vs Blackpool: Reading to win
Reading look to have found genuine momentum after a slow start to their League One campaign.
Leam Richardson's side followed a 3-0 Carabao Cup victory at Stevenage with an emphatic 5-0 win over Mansfield on Wednesday, giving the Royals back-to-back victories by an aggregate score of 8-0.
They have also kept three consecutive clean sheets in 90 minutes, having drawn 0-0 at AFC Wimbledon immediately before those two victories.
The improvement in attack has been particularly encouraging. Reading scored three times in just nine minutes before half-time against Mansfield, with Jack Marriott netting twice before Jacob Brown completed the rout late on. Marriott has already scored five times this season, providing Richardson with a reliable focal point up front.
There is a solid home foundation to build from too. Reading won 10 of their 23 League One home matches last season, losing only six and collecting 37 of their 63 points on their own patch.
Blackpool have made the stronger overall league start, but their unbeaten record was ended by a 2-1 defeat at Barnsley on Wednesday. This is one of the more ambitious selections in our five-fold, but Reading arrive with eight unanswered goals across two matches and three consecutive clean sheets.
Bradford vs Mansfield: Bradford to win
Bradford have suffered a setback with consecutive League One defeats against Plymouth and Cambridge, but there has still been plenty to like about Graham Alexander's side following promotion.
The Bantams opened the season with three consecutive victories without conceding, beating Rochdale 2-0 in the Carabao Cup, Peterborough 2-0 and Sheffield Wednesday 1-0. They also held Championship Burnley to a goalless draw before eliminating them on penalties in the cup.
Valley Parade has provided a particularly strong foundation. Across Bradford's first four competitive home matches they have recorded two victories, one draw and one defeat, conceding only two goals. Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Cambridge was the first time Alexander's side had conceded at home this season.
Mansfield's defensive numbers provide the main reason to expect a Bradford response. The Stags have failed to keep a clean sheet in all six competitive fixtures this season, conceding 17 goals.
Their problems have been even more pronounced away from home. Mansfield's opening two League One trips have ended in a 2-1 defeat at Peterborough and 5-0 hammering at Reading, leaving them with seven goals conceded from two away league matches.
Bradford need to stop their own losing run, but returning to Valley Parade against one of the division's most vulnerable defences gives them an excellent opportunity to do so.
Accrington vs Crawley: Accrington to win
Accrington provide the biggest-price selection in our accumulator and are still searching for their first League Two victory, but recent performances suggest that breakthrough may not be far away.
John Doolan's side showed plenty of character on Tuesday, recovering from 2-0 down against unbeaten Grimsby to earn a 2-2 draw.
Home advantage could be significant against a Crawley side whose away record was a major weakness last season. The Red Devils won only three of their 23 League Two away matches in 2025/26, losing 14 and collecting just 15 points on their travels. Accrington, by comparison, won nine times at the Wham Stadium.
Crawley have started better away from home this season, but there were limitations in Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Northampton. Their hosts were reduced to 10 men after 55 minutes, yet despite registering 22 shots Crawley could only find one equaliser and failed to make their numerical advantage count.
Stanley remain the riskier leg of the five selections, but their comeback against an unbeaten Grimsby side was encouraging. With Crawley's long-standing away problems factored in, Accrington are backed to record their first League Two victory of the campaign.
