Sheffield Wednesday are a great price to win against Wigan

York are favourites here but I wouldn’t be in a rush to go against Swindon who have won three of their opening five matches and have scored eight goals in the process.

Swindon were a pretty reliable side to back for goals last season, finishing just three points adrift of the playoff spots having scored 70 goals across their 46 matches (1.52 per game) with 32 of these goals coming on the road (1.39 per game). 

York have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their five matches in League Two so far this season and are clearly quite comfortable with high scoring matches having seen two 3-2 scorelines already this season. 

I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve seen from Sheffield Wednesday so far this season, they sit top of League One after the opening five matches and have won four of these games.

They’ve scored the joint most goals of any side in the division (13) which isn’t that surprising when considering the level of attacking talent that exists within the squad. Jamal Lowe has already scored four goals, with the likes of Slattery, Barry and Mason Burstow also pitching in.

This frontline is really strong for League One, and there is a balance about the side even away from forward areas with Yan Valery being another standout performer from fullback.

Wigan have lost four of their opening five matches in League One and sit rock bottom of the table. They’ve only scored five goals across these games, which is a level of firepower that is unlikely to trouble the home side who have a range of goalscoring options.

Both of Wigan’s away games in League One this season have ended in defeat, and 1.7 is a nice price for Sheffield Wednesday to add to that misery. 

I expect this to be quite straightforward for Dortmund who have made a really positive start to the season in winning each of their last four matches across all competitions.

The latest of these victories was a comfortable win over Villarreal in the Champions League, a game which saw the home side rack up an xG of 2.83 from 18 shots. 

Dortmund only lost two of their 17 home games in the Bundesliga last season, with only Bayern Munich (44) picking up more points at home than Niko Kovac’s side (41).

Paderborn are yet to win a game in the Bundesliga having taken a point from Mainz before losing to Freiburg, but this looks like a real uphill task for the newly promoted side who are likely to struggle for attacking momentum having only registered three shots on target across their opening two games of the campaign. 

The most recent league meeting between these sides produced six goals as the teams shared the points in the form of a 3-3 draw.

That clash saw a combined xG of 4.04 as well as 36 match shots, suggesting that we should be in for another really exciting game here. 

Neither side has started the season that positively, Hoffenheim have lost both of their matches so far - conceding six goals across the two games, while Stuttgart have one win from their opening few matches with 11 goals across these fixtures.

Stuttgart have also seen 3+ goals in each of their last four matches ahead of this game, including in their midweek win over Viking in the Champions League which produced four goals as they emerged 3-1 winners over the Norwegian side.

Stockport and Shef Wed are generously priced for home wins this weekend

York are favourites here but I wouldn’t be in a rush to go against Swindon who have won three of their opening five matches and have scored eight goals in the process.

Both of Wigan’s away games in League One this season have ended in defeat, and 1.7 is a nice price for Sheffield Wednesday to add to that misery. 

Southampton are rightly favourites here, but I do think it will be an entertaining game with the attacking talent that the away side have and the form they carry into the contest.

Bristol City have won each of their last three matches ahead of this game, seeing BTTS in each of these fixtures. Their most notable victory came away against Burnley last time out, showing that Bristol City can cause some of the better sides in the division real issues on the road.

Both league meetings between these sides last season saw BTTS with the most recent clash producing four goals as the sides played out a 2-2 draw. Southampton have seen BTTS in each of their last five matches, including heavy home victories over Swansea and Millwall.

I find it quite insane that Stockport are priced at 1.87 to win here against a Leicester side that don’t look to be heading in any direction under Russell Martin.

I had my concerns about his appointment due to his style of play and the gruelling nature of League One. I thought they would start slow, but the Foxes have been even worse than I imagined - most recently losing 4-0 to Oxford in front of their own fans.

By contrast, Stockport enter this game with three wins from their opening five matches and beat Wigan 4-0 on the road last time out. I think they should be a lot shorter to win, and they are one of my picks to be around the playoff spots this year.

This looks like a game where the Leicester players could down tools on their manager, and I'm willing to make the most of that misery until he does depart.

Barnsley are a bit all over the place at the moment following a mixed start to the campaign which was compounded by their 5-1 defeat to Stevenage in front of their own fans last time out.

Barnsley have seen 3+ goals in each of their last four matches ahead of this clash. In fairness to Daniel Stendel’s side, they did win the three games prior to that bruising defeat but the defensive vulnerabilities of this Barnsley side are obvious and can be exploited by Plymouth.

Plymouth saw five goals last time out as they came away 3-2 winners over Doncaster on the road. Both league meetings between these sides last season produced 3+ goals, with Plymouth actually managing to cover this line on their own when the sides last met.

Barnsley conceded 36 goals on the road in League One last season and their recent form would suggest that a clean sheet is unlikely. They’ll be eager to bounce back though, and do have the attacking options to cause Plymouth issues in what should be a high scoring game.
