Derby vs Sheffield United

Leg 1: Derby Win

Best odds of 86/100 at 10bet while publishing.

Derby head into the final day needing a win and a favour from Norwich and Middlesbrough who play Hull and Wrexham respectively. John Eustace’s side are a point behind the duo in front of them after a victory over QPR on the penultimate weekend of the season. The Rams have been in excellent form at home, winning six on the bounce, with their last loss at Pride Park coming against 2nd place Ipswich in February.

Sheffield United have been on the beach for months, with Chris Wilder likely to use the game as an excuse to blood in some youngsters. The Blades sit 15th in the league after a disappointing campaign, particularly in the start under Ruben Selles. Wilder’s side have won just of their last ten games including losing back-to-back home games against Preston and Blackburn.

With Derby’s strong form and the need to win coupled with the visitors lack of motivation for the game, the hosts are well versed to record an important victory.

Preston vs Southampton

Leg 2: Southampton To Win

Best odds of 11/10 at 888sport while publishing.

A late Jack Clarke equaliser midweek for Ipswich meant that Southampton head into the final day with nothing to play for. However, The Saints can finish as high as third and will want to finish the season with momentum – especially since the playoffs aren’t for a week.

Tonda Eckert’s side only defeat in 22 came against Manchester City in the FA Cup semi final. This run also saw 16 wins, including wins over Premier League sides Arsenal and Fulham. Over the last 30 games in the league, no side has taken more points than Southampton.

Preston on the other hand have slipped down the league after a promising start, with only four teams taking fewer points over the last 20. North End also rank just 16th for home points, so a routine away victory is expected.

Watford vs Coventry

Leg 3: Coventry Win

Best odds of Evens at Coral while publishing.

While Coventry secured promotion and the title with many games to spare, Frank Lampard will be keen to end the season as strongly as possible. With 93 goals scored, The Sky Blues have a slim chance of finishing the season on 100 goals – something that

will be in the back of the mind of the players. On top of this, only Millwall have accumulated more away points.

Over the last ten games only basement boys Sheffield Wednesday have taken fewer points than Watford who have collapsed down to 16th in the table. Under the guise of Ed Still, The Hornets have taken just two points from seven – both coming at home to strugglers Charlton and Leicester. If reports are to be believed, the atmosphere amongst the players at Vicarage Road is toxic and this may be evident should the visitors get off to a fast start.

Northampton vs Plymouth

Tip 4: Plymouth Win

Best odds of 4/9 at Coral while publishing.

Basement boys Northampton come into this game without a win in 15 and 10 game losing streak – something unlikely to change at home to a rampant Plymouth.

Argyle were flirting with relegation earlier in the season but 40 points from 20 – the second most in the league, has seen them within touching distance of the playoffs. Tom Cleverley’s side need a victory and for Stevenage and Luton not to win, so the stakes are high for the visitors who rank third in the league for away points.

Wycombe vs Rotherham

Tip 5: Wycombe to Win

Best odds of 1/2 available at bet365 while publishing.

23rd place Rotherham have just one win in 12, coming against relegation threatened Leyton Orient. Newly appointed manager Lee Clarke has lambasted his sides attitude, with some players pulling out of games with perceived minor injuries. The Millers have also taken just 14 points from 22 away games.

While Wycombe have been in poor form and have nothing to play for, they should ease to victory against their lowly visitors.

Tranmere vs Grimsby

Tip 6: Grimsby to Win

Best odds of 6/5 at 10bet while publishing.

While unlikely, Tranmere are still in relegation danger heading into the final day. Over the last 21 games, Pete Wild’s side have lost 17 and drawn just two, plunging them into real danger heading into the last day. Prenton Park has not been happy hunting ground for the hosts who have taken just 17 points – the second fewest in the league.

Five wins from six has seen Grimsby finish in the playoff spots. This run also saw them score 16 goals, so David Artell’s side are hard to stop at the moment. While playoffs is already secured, The Mariners will be keen to potentially finish fourth and end the season with strong momentum.

Best odds for above Accumulator is 34/1 at 10bet at the time of publishing. Odds as low as 25/1 elsewhere.
