At this stage of the season it's all about who can handle the pressure and there's matches up and down the country with huge amounts at stake today.
In the Premier League it's all about the bottom half of the table today with none of the top seven in action.
The bookies can barely separate Crystal Palace (13/8) and West Ham (7/4). Both sides have edged their way out of trouble the past few weeks and share of the spoils wouldn't be the worst result for either of them and BTTS could be a good option at 19/20.
The worry for Brighton is that a season that promised so much could fizzle out. An FA Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out defeat was a sore one to take and was quickly followed up by defeat at relegation-threatened Nottingham Forest.
Today they host a Wolves side who are looking pretty safe after three wins in their last four. All three of tose victories have been at home however and they've picked up just 11 points on their travels, only three of those have come against teams currently in the top half; Aston Villa, Brentford and Fulham.
The Seagulls are just 1/2 to bounce back today which feels very short and probably best avoided so how about a goalscorer bet on young prospect Facundo Buonanotte who scored on Wednesday at Forest. The 18-year-old Argentinian is 15/4 to make it two in two.
In the Championship, Coventry City are in the hunt for a play-off place and should boost their chances with a win over Birmingham who have little to play for. The Sky Blues have lost just once in 15 and look a solid option at 4/9 on the accas.
Sunderland were squeezed out of the play-off places by Millwall last night but be expecting a win over Watford today at the Stadium of Light. The Hornets are one of those clubs with nothing at stake and have lost four of their last six. Again, the Black Cats look good acca material.
There are some really short prices kicking around League One. Ipswich (1/6), Peterborough (2/5), Plymouth (2/5), Sheffield Wednesday (8/15), Bolton (8/15) and Derby (1/2) make for a 7/1 six-fold but one of them is bound to fall short – good luck picking which one.
In League Two Harrogate Town‘s matches have provided plenty of entertainment of late. All six in April have seen Over 2.5 Goals with five of them going Over 3.5. Their trip to Mansfield should yield goals. Five of the Stags last seen have seen Both Team Score. Three or more total goals pays 4/5.
The first of the weekend's two Scottish Cup semi-finals kicks-off at 12:15 at Hampden. It's a repeat of the 2015 final which saw Inverness Caledonian Thistle beat Falkirk 2-1 to win the trophy for the first and only time in their history.
Falkirk are aiming to make it to the final for a fourth time in 26 years – not bad for a club that's plied its trade outside the top division for the majority of that period. The Bairns' last success was back in 1957 when they ovecame Kilmarnock to win for a second time.e
Whoever prevails today will find themselves huge outsiders in the final however with either Rangers or Celtic lying in wait from tomorrow's clash.
Caley's late run could still see them make the play-offs in the Championship where they're unbeaten in seven (W6 D1) and one of the form teams in the country. A division below, Falkirk are guaranteed a second-placed finish having been unable to overhaul Dunfermline at the top. Form has been a bit patchy lately but they warmed up for this one with a good 4-1 win at Alloa last weekend.
The Highlanders are justifiably favourites and look a bit of value at 23/20. Billy Dodds appears to be getting the most out of his squad at the moment and is possibly a little unfortunate that the current run of form has come a little too late to really challenge for the Championship title. If Inverness bring their A-game to the national stadium they should book their place in June's final.
In the Scottish Championship, Raith Rovers are the only side who have nothing to play for and that's been reflected in their recent results. They've picked up just one point in their last five games and that could be good news for Ayr United who retain hopes of making the play-offs. The two sides meet at Somerset Park today where it's must-win for the Honest Men who must also hope that Partick Thistle come unstuck at home to Abroath.
Goals should be on the menu at Airdrie where Queen of the South are the visitors. The home sides' 77 goals have only been bettered by Celtic and Rangers in Scotland and there's been 20 goals scored in the Doonhamers' last five games so Over 2.5 is fancied at 13/20.

Bolton v Fleetwood Saturday
Skybet have priced up corners for Bolton as this
Over 6 = 6/5
Over 7= 2/1
Over 8 = 7/2
This is insane from them considering the fact after they got beat last night and now the game against Fleetwood is of even more importance and as anyone who watched their game last night saw how much they struggled to score as I did mention yesterday. This all points to them continuing to attack desperately with no end product. The fact Fleetwood have a decent chance of scoring against them makes it even more likely for corners.
Boltons last 3 games corner count
10
9
8
I would have Over 6 as good as a certainty and Over 7 at 2/1 just incredible odds. I actually laughed when I just noticed how they have priced them up.
I would wait to see what bet365 do as they were much bigger last night.
Quick apology for my suggested bet last night it was poor judgement adding Bolton win or draw to it. You could see in my reasoning how I thought they’d struggle to score and how Accrington would be scrapping for their lives. I should have suggested what I really like which was corners alone.
Derby’s game on Saturday looks another primed for corners which I would have suggested but this Bolton game has got to be one of the best bets I’ve spotted in a few years imo.
********The above was posted on Wednesday *********
Bet365 prices
Over 6 corners 7/5
Over 7 corners 12/5
Over 8 corners 4/1
Nothing more to add to the above apart from a little research on Fleetwood.
They aren’t a possession based team, averaging just under 50% of the possession.
Fleetwood corners conceded in last 5 games
Mk Dons 6
Forest Green 4
Accrington 5
Bristol Rovers 5
Cambridge 2
All of the above teams are no where near the top of the league. If Forest Green can get 4 or Accrington can get 5 corners, the chances for Bolton hitting a few more than them is extremely high based on their last 3 matches, fighting for their lives for a playoff spot combined with the fact they have been have real problems scoring goals of late screams a high corner count.
Bet365 have the best odds for the corners from what I have found.
Derby v Portsmouth
For the exact same reasons as above this game should see Derby producing plenty of corners. They are also fighting for a playoff spot along with Bolton and have a very similar goal difference.
Bet For May
Bolton Over 6 corners 7/5 bet365 bet builder
10% of stake on Bolton over 7 corners + Derby over 6 corners double 13/2 bet365
Would have been easy to try to be greedy and go for over 7 for the main bet at 12/5 or even over 8 at 4/1 but I have just went for the sensible option.
I said on Wednesday this was one of the best bets I’ve seen in a couple of years, and that was even after seeing the much poorer odds from Skybet, and I completely stand by that statement.
Problem with these bets are your kindy praying Bolton dont get an early goal that definitely slows down corner totals.
Very astute, Deb. I fell out of love with the Celtic corner craze for this very reason.
Its a fair point, I see where you’re coming from but I already took this into consideration. The goal difference is very tight for a few teams fighting for the playoffs, goal difference could well settle it.
I’ll try to find the message I posted on Tuesday before Boltons last game and I’ll copy and paste it.
I went into more details there basically saying they won’t sit back on a 1 or 2 goal lead as goal difference could be a key factor. I don’t for one minute think they will get that lead based on Fleetwood being in good form taking 7 points from last 3 games, Boltons lack of scoring more than 1 goal, I think that’s 6 games they have failed to score more than 1. Wouldn’t be surprised one bit if Fleetwood beat them today tbh. Scoring goals is a big problem for Bolton atm and that’s why I think this is such a book bet- they will continuously attack trying to get goals but failing to do so.
I always target corners at the end of every season when teams are pushing for playoffs/automatics. Teams that are struggling to score but getting alot of chances, lots of crosses, possession in the final third. Bolton tick every box here.
Feel free to lay it on exchanges gents, I’ll snap your hand off for a decent sum if you lay evens
Here’s the full reasoning I put up for Bolton corners on Tuesday. Hope it helps.
Bolton v Accrington tonight 7.45pm
Just wanted to recommend a bet tonight that looks to have an extremely good chance. It is for the exact same reasons I recommend Derby corners at the weekend due to the fact they were in the playoff race, they were struggling to score many goals of late so they would constantly be looking to get forward.
Bolton haven’t scored more than 1 goal in their last 5 games, this was very similar to Derby before Saturday. So you can see how they will surely get 1 against Accrington but they may struggle to get another, and combined with the fact Accrington are scrapping for their lives and the fact Bolton are desperate to get the 3 points but not finding the net very often this points to Bolton attacking and not just sitting back. Even if they do get a couple of goals they will want to increase their goal difference so won’t sit back. Derby and Peterborough, their competitors for the playoffs spots have very similar goal difference which is worth noting.
Bolton hit 9 corners at home on Saturday so I think this is a great indication that we can expect the same tonight. They hit 8 in the game beforehand also.
Well done on Derby but that Bolton early goal is going to kill you
I take it back massive congrats mate good old sending off 👏👏👏
