English League One Betting Tips

Stockport come into this fixture having won each of their last three matches, winning two of these games to nil. They’ve started the season strongly overall, sitting third in the table having won five of their opening nine matches.

Stockport have won three of their five matches in front of their own fans, notably scoring 13 goals across these games - which is the second highest scoring tally of any side at home in League One this term, with the exception of Reading (14).

Bromley are struggling to adapt to the level of League One, winning just two of their eight matches. The 20 goals that Bromley have conceded in League One so far this season is the joint highest tally of any side, and it’s not like they’re scoring much either - netting just nine goals across their eight matches.

PSG played some of the best football I’ve ever seen at the Etihad on Wednesday night, coming away 4-2 winners in Manchester having found the target 10 times from their 15 shots in the clash.

That victory marks their fifth consecutive victory ahead of this fixture, following a slow start to the season which mirrors the sluggish start that Luis Enrique’s side made to last campaign.

Strasbourg are really struggling defensively at the moment having failed to keep a clean sheet across their last 20 matches. They’ve failed to win any of their last three games, losing each of the last two, and have conceded 12 goals across their six games in Ligue 1 (2.0 per game).

PSG came away 2-1 winners in this fixture last season, despite dropping down to 10 men for the final quarter of that game. I see them having far too much scoring power for Strasbourg here, who are struggling for consistency under Hugo Oliveira. 

Inter have scored 2+ goals in all but one of their Serie A games so far this season, with the exception of a 1-0 win away from home against Cagliari - that saw Inter generate an xG of 3.67 from 31 shots, suggesting that it should have been a more routine victory.

Inter are the top scorers in Serie A so far this season having netted 18 goals across their six games. They’ve won five of these matches, only dropping points to a high flying Roma side, but do have defensive vulnerabilities. 

Inter have conceded eight goals across their opening six games, which is why I’m leaning more towards backing them for 2+ goals rather than backing them for the win outright. They scored three goals on their trip here last season, but still didn’t get the three points with Bologna matching that tally.

Bologna have started the season poorly and have only managed to win one of their last five matches across all competitions. They haven’t won any of their three home games this term, and a visit from the league leaders is unlucky to improve that record.

Newcastle have kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League so far this season, with that shutout coming against Tottenham - who still managed to register 17 shots and an xG of 1.12.

Newcastle are far too open for me at the moment, it was evident again in their 4-1 defeat to Coventry last time out. Newcastle aren’t having many issues scoring themselves though, seeing BTTS in each of their last four Premier League matches.

Aston Villa come into this clash on the back of a brilliant midweek win in the Champions League over Fenerbahce, coming away 6-0 winners at Villa Park.  They have, however, seen BTTS in each of the four matches prior to that win - with Unai Emery’s side keeping just one clean sheet so far this term domestically.
