ROTHERHAM may have drawn 0-0 at home to Carlisle at the weekend – but they won't get away with that scoreline tonight.
They travel to Northampton to play Coventry where just about every match has been a goalfest. It's now 42 goals in nine home matches for the Sky Blues with the latest being as stunning 5-1 defeat by Coventry.
Before that it was 3-3 draw at Bradford and Coventry's last five matches have produced 20 goals. Rotherham's four before their 0-0 draw totalled at least three so over 2.5 goals has to be the shout.
Take overs in Luton v Southport in the Conference. Luton have netted 14 goals in their last three home meetings with the northern side who have hit back with one on each occasion.
Luton are unbeaten at home, with an average score of 2-1, while Southport's last six matches have produced 26 goals – including a 5-1 defeat at Aldershot and 5-2 at Orient in the FA Cup.
So that's two overs – now for two both teams to score. First up it's Colchester v MK Dons.
Five of Colchester's last six have seen both score as have four of MK Dons' previous six. In fact all of four of those matches totalled five goals including a 3-2 defeat at Tranmere.
Colchester's only clean sheet in recent games has been to Peterborough and after a poor start to the campaign they've been finding the net regularly.
Complete the fourfold with both to score at Port Vale v Preston. Both sides are in decent form with Vale netting 16 in five but conceding in four of those games – including five at Swindon.
Three of Preston's last five league games have been score draws and they also battered Barnet 6-0 in the FA Cup in that spell.
Over 2.5 goals/btts
Coventry v Rotherham over 2.5
Luton v Southport over 2.5

Really fancy an over 2.5 goals fourfold tonight. I was thinking:
Coventry v Rotherham
Steaua Bucharest v Schalke
Morecambe v York
Hayes and Yeading v Ebbsfleet United
Might switch out Schalke game for Luton though.
MiniDuff, another I considered was Accrington-Fleetwood.
I had a look at that game aswell, considering both teams are on a reasonable run of form. My worry was that fleetwood don’t have many high scoring away games, so I decided to leave it out.
I may change my mind – at least i’ve got until tonight to think it through. You can never tell with these midweek games though.
Thanks for the Tip i got a five on his bet :-)
Hi Mr. F,
Pse explain to me wat this means 2/6 or 1/8 when they’r comparing chances of the two teams playing E.g Arsenal has 6/8 chance on Marseille ..
How do you perm any 3 and all 4 on bet365? Can only see singles, doubles and trebles.
Thanks
