Odds correct at time of publication
Middlesbrough vs Birmingham
Four-goal hauls in wins over Portsmouth and Millwall have lifted Birmingham into the top half of the Championship but their improvement is likely to be halted at the Riverside.
Middlesbrough were the better side in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Leicester and are unbeaten in their six league home games, winning four of those.
Norwich vs Leicester
Winning games is proving to be a tough task for Leicester, who have managed just one victory in ten, but, luckily, losing matches at Carrow Road is Norwich’s speciality.
The Canaries have conceded 14 goals and scored just four while losing all seven of their home games this term, suggesting the Foxes, who have plenty of talented players, can land a much-needed victory.
Bolton vs Port Vale
Last Sunday’s 5-1 rout of non-league Maldon & Tiptree is not enough to suggest Port Vale, who had lost their previous two games to nil, can take anything from their trip to Bolton.
Wanderers have scored 16 goals while winning their last seven games at the Toughsheet Community Stadium and should have no issue extending that run to eight.
Newport vs Walsall
With last Saturday’s extra-time victory over Gillingham being Newport’s first win in 15 home games, this bottom-versus-top clash is surely only heading one way.
County have lost eight of their last nine at Rodney Parade and League Two leaders Walsall can show their quality.

Football acca FAQs
What is a football accumulator (acca)?
A football accumulator, commonly referred to as an ‘acca’, is a single bet that combines multiple individual bets into one. Each selection within the accumulator must win for the bet to pay out, offering higher potential returns but at increased risk compared to single bets.
Can I place an acca on different markets?
Yes, you can combine various markets in an acca, including match winners, total goals, both teams to score, and more. However, most betting platforms require that selections within an accumulator are not related to ensure the bet is valid.
What is the advantage of placing an accumulator bet?
The main advantage of an accumulator bet is the potential for higher returns from a smaller stake since the odds of each selection are multiplied together. It adds excitement to watching multiple matches, as each leg of your acca needs to be successful for a return.
