Top Football Tips

GAMES continue to come thick and fast in the EFL as sides try to get across the line in the race for titles, promotion, play-offs and avoiding the drop.

There's a full card on Easter Monday – plus Chelsea vs Burnley – and I'm focusing on teams who have something to play for.

On the Continent I fancy goals in the evening games between Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt and Napoli vs Atalanta.

My Top Treble starts with Norwich who have been involved in some crazy games recently. Their 97th-minute leveller against Sheffield Wednesday means victory at Stoke will clinch the title and with the pressure eased I'm backing them to get across the line.

Aston Villa have all but sealed a play-off spot with nine wins in a row and should make it 10 at home to Millwall.  One more win is likely to be enough and boss Dean Smith will be keen to get it and then rest players before the play-offs. Key striker Tammy Abrahams is a doubt after picking up a knock in Friday's win at Bolton.

Make it an English Championship treble with Derby at home to QPR. Frank Lampard's men are fighting with Middlesbrough and Bristol City for sixth spot and they and City have a game in hand over Boro.

Plenty of other sides I like and I've also picked out a speculative 0.5pt moneyback fivefold.

My both to score treble features games at Reading v West Brom, Rotherham v Birmingham and Portsmouth v Coventry. Reading's last five have brought up this market as have four out of five for West Brom and the last three meetings finished 3-1, 3-2 and 4-1.

Rotherham's last seven have brought up btts as they fight for their Championship lives while Birmingham's last three matches have ended in score draws as have two of the last three meetings.

Complete the treble with Portsmouth v Coventry. Both have scored in Pompey's last four while Coventry's previous away game produced that amazing 5-4 win at Sunderland as they played free-flowing attacking football.

On Sunday my Super Single of Everton draw no bet was an easy winner as they thumped Man United 4-0. I covered the stake when United hit 20-1 so I've taken 0.1pt off the winnings.

My goals bet started well with Dortmund landing the over themselves then Real Madrid netted a last-gasp third against Athletic Bilbao. That left me needing both to score at Real Betis v Valencia for a nice 33-10 success.

Well done to all the winners and good luck with your Easter Monday bets – make them crackers.

    Derby and Salford score 2 or more goals
    The double is 1.96/1@bet365
    Derby need to continue their push for the playoffs, QPR safe

    I fancy Burnley to score here they usually do grab a goal in most of their games and have scored in 10 out of their last eleven games including two against Liverpool away.Chelsea are having no problems scoring especially at home so that should take this game overs.

    Derby have to be careful about conceding from set pieces as has been our problem lately:

    1 change:

    Cole out and Malone back in his place:

    Roos
    Bogle/Keogh/Tomori/Malone
    Bryson/Johnson/Mount
    Lawrence/Waghorn/Wilson

    QPR have 4 very experienced players out of their squad, their team has some experience but I don’t think they have enough to get anything from the game. If Derby cannot beat them today, the door to the top 6 finish will shut.

    There’s not much meat on the bone for the Derby win @ around 13/20 with most bookies, but if you drop it into a double or treble, a Derby win should land today giving you a good chance to land your double/treble.

    I’ve opted for Derby/Villa/Blackburn wins.

    Good luck guys.

    Brondby’s team multi corner line away at Midtjylland is LOW. Brondby have cleared this line in the last NINE H2H’s. Don’t know what Paddypower are thinking to be honest. I’d definitely recommend playing the single at evens.

    Not back until this evening but one worth keeping an eye on in the Bolivian Primera that features the bottom two sides:

    CLUB DESTROYERS VS. REAL POTOSÍ (8.00pm):

    I highlighted Real Potosi’s situation in more detail last week and although they are dire away from home and that enormous altitude advantage, the call came good and they continued to score on the road and beat both the goal time and handicap.

    Same again here with goals a very real likelihood from both sides and a decent H2H record across the last 5 meetings with 5-5-3-2-7 match totals.

    Recommended bets:

    Over 3.5 match goals
    (6/4, bet365) 3 Points

    Both teams to score 1st half
    (3/1, bet365) 1 Point

    Best of luck 👍
