Desmond is all over the lower leagues in England for his goals bets his weekend.

Gents, A smaller card than usual but enough of the lower leagues on show for my picks today….

To Score 2+ Goals Tips

Two teams I like the look of this Saturday to score 2+ goals are both at the wrong end of their respective Leagues and will fancy their chances against their fellow struggling opponents but I'm happy to take them both to score 2+ goals for just under a 4/1 double.

Derby County host Peterborough, where a win could possibly put them two points behind Reading in the relegation battle. What a turn around for Derby who have had to deal with a 21 point deduction.

They have won 4 and drawn 1 in their last 5 home games and scored 7 goals in their last 3 games.

They are even money to score 2+ goals against a Peterborough side who have lost 7 and drawn 1 in their last 8 away games whilst conceding 23 goals.

Next up are Dumbarton at home to managerless Alloa. A good 3-1 away victory last Saturday at Clyde and scoring twice recently against both leaders Cove and East Fife sees Dumbarton in pretty good shape.

They are nicely priced at 11/8 to score 2+ goals against an Alloa side in dire form since November with 7 defeats, 5 draws and just the one win during that run.

They have conceded 6 goals in their last 2 games/defeats. Going for the usual 3 points double that pays 15/4

Both Teams to Score Double

Other goals bets l like the look of today are a BTTS Double of Bristol City v Middlesbrough and Carlisle v Swindon, 1point at 5/2

  • Bristol City are BTTS in their last 11 games, Middlesbrough are BTTS in 5 of last 7 away
  • Carlisle are BTTS in last 3 and Swindon are BTTS in 7 of their last 9 away

Over 2.5 Goals Tips

An Over 2.5 goals Treble of Charlton, Crewe and Ipswich for 1point at 6/1

  • Charlton are Overs in last 4 games, Oxford have seen 28 goals in their last 6 games
  • Crewe have seen 12 goals in their last 3 games, Portsmouth are Overs in their last 4 games
  • Ipswich are averaging Overs at home, 45 goals in 15 games and Burton are Overs in 4 of their last 5 games

7-Fold Acca

As ever I'll be placing a roll-up of all seven bets which pays 123/1 for 0.5pts.

Good luck with your bets today. Desmond.
