MrFixitstips Draw Acca focuses on one outcome that the market often overlooks, the stalemate.
Each week three fixtures are selected from the Premier League, EFL and National League with the sole aim of landing a draw. No spread of markets, no added conditions, no need for goals or cards. Three final scores level after 90 minutes and the bet lands.
Across the top five English divisions, draws account for roughly 25% of matches. That is one in four games ending all square. The prices attached to that outcome are often bigger than the true probability suggests, especially when two evenly matched sides meet or when pressure limits risk taking.
You only need three results to align for a strong return. A single coupon, three selections, and odds that build fast without chasing long shots. The Draw Acca targets value in tight contests and turns common scorelines like 0-0, 1-1 or 2-2 into a high upside play.
Derby County vs Blackburn Rovers
Derby County host Blackburn Rovers in the Championship on Saturday with both sides arriving with balanced underlying profiles that point toward a tight contest.
Across the last eight games Derby have averaged 1.04 xG and 0.95 xGA, returning 11.0 xPTS and 13 points. Blackburn over the same period have posted 0.64 xG and 1.19 xGA with 8.3 xPTS and 10 points. Neither side is creating high volume, and neither is consistently dominating opponents.
The last four home and away splits reinforce that pattern. Derby’s last four at home show 0.77 NP xG and 1.00 NP xGA. Blackburn’s last four away show 0.39 NP xG and 1.60 NP xGA. The combined total xG in that split is 3.75, suggesting limited attacking ceiling.
Derby’s both teams to score rate across the last eight sits at 50%, Blackburn’s at 38%, with over 2.5 landing in only 44% for both. With modest chance creation and controlled defensive numbers, a draw fits the data.

Stevenage vs Stockport County
Stevenage welcome Stockport County in League One with both teams producing similar underlying numbers in recent weeks, which suggests a closely contested game.
Across the last eight games Stevenage have posted 14.4 xPTS with 1.45 xG and 0.87 xGA per match. Stockport sit close behind on 12.0 xPTS, averaging 1.50 xG and 0.99 xGA. The margins are narrow on both sides. Stevenage have created seven big chances and conceded five in that run, while Stockport have produced nine and allowed four. Neither side shows a clear structural advantage.
The last four split strengthens the balance. Stevenage at home have generated 1.54 non penalty xG and conceded just 0.26, while Stockport away have posted 1.08 non penalty xG and 0.79 conceded. Both teams sit at 63% both teams to score across the last eight and 50% over 2.5, suggesting competitive but controlled game states.
With similar xG outputs, comparable xPTS returns and no major supremacy gap, this shapes as a contest where neither side does enough to pull clear. A draw fits the data.

Port Vale vs Luton Town
Port Vale host Luton Town in League One with both sides showing limited separation in recent performance, which points toward a tight contest.
Port Vale are W2-D2-L2 across their last six matches and have drawn their last two home games. Over the last eight they have returned 9.6 xPTS, averaging 1.26 xG and 1.43 xGA. They have created six big chances and conceded nine in that run, suggesting competitive but not dominant displays.
Luton sit on 8.7 xPTS across the last eight, with 0.95 xG and 1.36 xGA per game. Away from home they have failed to win any of their last eight matches. In their last four away fixtures they have produced just 0.27 non penalty xG and conceded 2.01, failing to score in three of those games.
The last four home and away split shows Port Vale at 1.79 non penalty xG and 1.09 conceded, while Luton’s limited away threat reduces the likelihood of a high scoring game. With total xG at 4.99 and both sides around 50% for both teams to score and over 2.5 trends, this profiles as a narrow encounter where neither pulls clear. A draw fits the data.
- Game to end as a draw at 5/2
Combining all three games to end in a draw is 36/1 with Coral.
