football handicap betting tips

The Friday night action in the EFL Championship comes from Vicarage Road as Watford look to keep up their strong home form with a win over Oxford United.

The Hornets are unbeaten at home all season, winning seven of those eight games, and that's the main reason why they find themselves sitting in a play-off slot.

Oxford United are in mid-table, defying those who tipped them from an instant return to League One, but they've been struggling a bit recently, with the midweek win over Hull their first victory in nine games.

Des Buckingham's side haven't won any of their seven away games, losing five, so it would be a surprise if they inflicted Watford's first defeat at Vicarage Road this season.

Watford vs Oxford United top betting tips

With Watford so strong at home and Oxford so weak on their travels, it's no surprise to see the Hornets as Betano's 3/4 favourites. To get into odds-against territory, adding on over 1.5 goals boosts the price to 23/20.

Five of the eight matches at Vicarage Road this term have hit double figures for corners and we've also seen 10 or more in Oxford's last three away games. That makes me think over 10.5 corners stands a chance at 10/11 with Betano while adding one more flag kicks boosts the price to 11/8.

Hornets midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze is always at the heart of the battle and the Georgian is 11/4 at Bet365 to pick up his fourth card this term.

Greenock Morton vs Ayr United top betting tips

Ayr United's title bid has gone off the rails in recent weeks and they need to bounce back with a win when they travel to struggling Morton tonight.

Scott Brown's side flew out the traps at the start of the season but they're stumbling now, with three of their last four league games ending in defeat.

I tipped them to win at Raith Rovers last Friday but they were poor and deserved to crash to a 2-0 defeat. That makes me wary of backing them again at 10/11 with Betano tonight at but Morton's form is even worse, with three defeats and a draw in their last four.

Leaders Falkirk battered Ton 6-0 last weekend and Dougie Imrie's side haven't even managed to score in their last four outings.

Corners look the best option tonight, with all but one of Morton's league games at Cappielow hitting double figures. Over 10.5 flag kicks pays 21/20 at Betano and that looks good.

Eight yellows and a red were flashed in Ton's last game at home so it could be a busy night for the ref but I've yet to see a market for cards.

Barnsley vs Rotherham United top betting tips

There's one game in League One tonight as well and Barnsley can move into the play-off places if they beat Rotherham United at Oakwell.

The Tykes are in good form, with just one defeat in their last five games, but that loss came in their last outing at Oakwell as Doncaster claimed a 3-1 win.

Rotherham's form is almost the polar opposite, with their last five games producing only one win and three losses. They've had some tough fixtures though, with two of those defeats coming to title-chasing Birmingham and Wrexham.

Beatano still United their 11/5 outsiders tonight, with Barnsley the 23/20 favourites. With the Tykes in good form that price still looks decent, especially as they have beaten Rotherham in the last four meetings.

In six of Barnsley's last eight games, most of the goals have come after the break. So there could be some value in backing the second period as the highest-scoring half at 11/10 with Betfred.

  • Watford win and over 1.5 goals 23/20 Betano
  • Over 10.5 corners in Morton v Ayr 21/20 Betano
