No 12:30 Premier League game but fear not – Matthew O’Regan has a 6/1 treble for the early Championship kick offs.
Leg 1: Hull Draw No Bet
The problems at Norwich continue to worsen and protests are expected at Carrow Road, with fans set to let their disdain towards the hierarchy and manager Liam Manning be heard.
The Canaries have now lost five games in a row and are eight without a win – only crisis club Sheffield Wednesday have fewer points. At home, Norwich fans have not been getting their money’s worth – losing all five games and scoring just four goals.
Hull have been a curious case this season, sat just outside the playoffs on goal difference, despite many fancying them for relegation. The Tigers’ games have been chaotic, averaging 3.33 goals and Sergej Jakirovic will look to bring this chaos to a disgruntled Carrow Road.
While Hull have only one away win, only Bristol City and Watford – two of the best home sides in the league, have beaten them. They are also five games unbeaten, including beating Birmingham 2-3 on the road.
If the hosts get off to a slow start, the crowd may turn on their side and this may suit Hull to a tee.
Leg 2: Sheffield Wednesday +2 Handicap
West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday
After Dejphon Chansiri placed Sheffield Wednesday in administration, they were hit with a -12 points deduction, keeping them at the foot of the table with -6. However, it is not all doom and gloom for the Owls supporters – particularly on the road.
Due to home boycotts, Wednesday fans have treated away fans as a celebrations, arriving in their droves to cheer on their side. It has had a positive impact on the pitch, with The Owls losing just twice on the road – both by just one goal.

West Brom have had a mixed start to the season under rookie manager Ryan Mason, currently sat 11th in the league with three losses from their last four. The Baggies have won five games this season but all five have been by just a sole goal, meaning this bet has landed in every game for West Brom and every Sheffield Wednesday away game.
Leg 3: Leicester vs Blackburn - Under 2.5 Goals
Two Premier League champions face off in the second division, looking to rectify subpar starts to the campaign.
Leicester were relegated back to the Championship at the first time of asking, appointing the pragmatic Marti Cifuentes to oversee the promotion charge. Thus far, The Foxes sit 10th with their attacking struggles evident- only scoring more than once in a game on four occasions.
Leicester have won just once in their last eight, with supporters becoming frustrated at their inability to convert draws into wins. This has been a particular issue at home, where they have beaten just Sheffield Wednesday and Birmingham, remaining unbeaten in the other three. Of their five home games, four have seen under 2.5 – the exception the opening day 2-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
Blackburn’s off-field issues continue to blight them, sat just outside the relegation zone with one win in their last six. Rovers look light upfront, scoring the second fewest goals in the league and only four goals on their travels.
However, Valerin Ismael will be happy with his sides stubbornness on the road – conceding just six goals. With their away games averaging just two goals, 3/5 have gone under 2.5.
