Joe from FootyStats.org is back with his own take on this weekend's matches based on his site's number-crunching including a look at the Glasgow Derby north of the border.
Sunderland vs Shrewsbury – Sunderland Win
I was very surprised when I saw these odds. Sunderland has won 4/5 recent home games and 64% of games at home overall. Shrewsbury has won just 8% of their away games so far this season, scoring less than a goal per game. They have lost 4/5 coming into this fixture whilst Sunderland is still unbeaten at home after 11 games.
Fleetwood vs Portsmouth – Both Teams to Score
Good odds here for BTTS as Portsmouth has conceded in the last 3 away games they have played and has won just 1/4 recent games coming into this. That said, they are still top of the league and will want nothing more than to restore their lead at the top of the table come the end of play today. Fleetwood are playing really well at home, losing just 2/10 games and currently unbeaten in 7, winning 5/6 recent games. They have found their scoring touch, netting 3 goals in 3/5 recent games.
Rangers vs Celtic – Both Teams to Score
Monumentus game in Scotland, as always, as Rangers host Celtic. Hold onto your hats as this one promises to be something special. The home side is unbeaten in the last 5 coming into this and has scored 2.70 goals per home game this season. Celtic has won just 2/5 away games coming into this one and has conceded 6 in the last 3 games. They have however still scored 2.00 goals per game on the road this season.
