Having landed nine of his last 11 featured selections, SlipsTips returns with a Bet Builder for Oxford's clash with Rotherham in English League One on Saturday.
Oxford vs Rotherham (Saturday, 15:00)
One of the standout fixtures from the latest batch of English League One matches takes place at the Kassam Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as Oxford play host to Rotherham.
Karl Robinson's hosts have won five of their last six league games, drawing the other, while league leaders Rotherham roll into central southern England in the midst of a 12-game unbeaten streak.
As such, there isn't a huge amount of appeal in the 1×2 market here but backing each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points looks like a nice alternative at 5/6 with SkyBet.
Oxford are earning a healthy 6.71 per 90 minutes this term, with the in-form U's hitting the 3+ corner line in 16 of their opening 17 League One assignments of the campaign.
High-flying Rotherham, on the other hand, have proven prominent in the corner rankings this term, averaging a league-high 6.83 corners per-game, a tally that increases to a lofty 7.38 on their travels.
With that in mind, coupled with the likelihood of a decent degree of goalmouth action here, three corners apiece doesn't look like too much to ask of two clubs in fine form.
To round off the Bet Builder I'm going with each side to receive 10+ booking points in what should be a closely-fought battle between two tightly matched teams.
Both clubs are averaging in the region of 1.5 yellow cards per-game in League One term, not to mention referee Sam Purkiss has awarded both sides at least one booking in five of his last six EFL outings.
It's also worth noting that the aforementioned combination has clicked in three of the pair's last four collective League One assignments.
With all things considered, the 5/6 (SkyBet) on each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive 10+ booking points makes plenty of appeal given that we have all the necessary ingredients required for an action-packed contest at the Kassam.
