Leg 1: Wycombe to beat Port Vale @ 3/5

Wycombe are flying at Adams Park right now. The Chairboys have won 6 of their last 9 home league games and carry real momentum into this fixture. Port Vale, sitting rock bottom of the division, have lost 9 of their 15 away matches this season and look woefully short of the quality needed to take anything from this game.

There is also a significant distraction factor to consider. Port Vale have pulled off the extraordinary feat of reaching an FA Cup quarter-final, beating Bristol City and Premier League side Sunderland along the way to earn a mouthwatering tie with Chelsea next weekend. With Stamford Bridge on the horizon, it would be no surprise if minds are drifting south-west rather than focusing on a bleak trip to Buckinghamshire. Wycombe's home form makes them a banker at 3/5 and they should not need to be at their best to see this off.

Leg 2: Reading to beat Wigan @ 6/5

This is arguably the standout value leg of the slip. Reading are unbeaten in their last 9 home league games, making the Select Car Leasing Stadium a formidable fortress. Wigan, by contrast, are an absolute rabble on the road.

The Latics have managed just 2 wins in 12 away league games, losing 8 of those fixtures. Their defensive record travelling away from home is nothing short of dismal, having conceded 36 goals and kept just 1 clean sheet on the road all season. Going forward they offer precious little threat either, scoring just 22 goals in total in away matches and failing to find the net in 4 of those fixtures. A team that cannot defend, cannot score, and cannot win away from home heading to a side on a 9-game unbeaten home run. The Royals look generous value even at relatively short odds.

Leg 3: Notts County to beat Harrogate @ 19/20

Kicking off at 12:30, this is the early one and arguably the most straightforward selection on the slip. Notts County possess the best attack in the division and have won 4 of their 7 away league games this season, demonstrating they are more than capable of picking up results on the road.

Harrogate, by contrast, have lost 4 of their 7 home games recently and carry the unwanted distinction of having the worst home record in the entire league. The gulf in class between a County side brimming with goals and a Harrogate team that struggles to defend at Wetherby Road is significant. Near-evens for what shapes up as a comfortable away win for the Magpies represents fair value and this feels like a leg you can pencil in with some confidence.

Leg 4: Stockport to beat AFC Wimbledon @ 8/13

This is the trickiest call of the five. Stockport have arrested a worrying run of three straight league defeats and steadied the ship with back-to-back games without a loss, but their form remains patchy for a side that at one point looked destined for automatic promotion. The task now is to build on that fragile momentum and a home game against Wimbledon offers a decent opportunity to extend their unbeaten run to three matches and reignite their season.

The complication is that Wimbledon are no pushover on the road. They boast the 8th best away record in the league and will not simply roll over. Both sides have struggled to score consistently, which points to a tight, low-scoring affair where fine margins will decide the outcome. Stockport's home advantage could prove the decisive factor in what is likely to be a scrappy, hard-fought contest. This is the most nervous leg of the five but the Hatters at home just about get the nod.

Leg 5: Bromley to beat Barrow @ 6/5

The standout team in form across the entire Football League right now. Bromley are unbeaten in an extraordinary 21 consecutive league games and sit clear at the top of League Two, nine points ahead of the chasing pack and steamrolling towards their first-ever season in League One. They have won 3 of their last 5 away league games and carry a potent, confident attacking unit into every fixture.

Barrow could hardly be in worse shape to face them. The Bluebirds have won just 1 of their last 6 home matches and hold the second-worst home record in the league. They are a club in chaos off the pitch too, having had three different people in the managerial role in 2026 alone, with midfielder Sam Foley currently overseeing matters on an interim basis after a run of dreadful results including a 5-0 hammering at Grimsby. Throwing that organisational shambles up against a Bromley side in full flight makes 6/5 look generous for the Ravens.
