In the Premier League I fancy the chances of Swansea and Blackburn.
Swansea are my biggest bet of the day today. I think they were fantastic against Man City for an hour, before eventually being swatted away when the big boys flexed their muscles, but against Wigan in front of their home crowd for their first ever Premier League game I can see a convincing win.
Blackburn are a selection mainly because I think Villa look a very poor side this season. I can actually see both these sides struggling, and the only positive piece of transfer news for Villa fans, who are normally miserable anyway, was the capture of Shay Given. He kept Fulham at bay but I can see Blackburn nicking a goal
past him this afternoon and that might be enough.
In the Championship Southampton play Millwall and I have gone for +2.5 goals @ 1.95. Southampton scored hatfuls in League One last season and they have gone about life in the Championship in the same way. Millwall were 2-0 up against Posh before conceding two late goals for a 2-2 draw, and they are the sort of damaging matches that leads to introspection. I can see Southampton getting at least a couple again today, and wouldnt be surprised to see Millwall score too.
I have backed Crystal Palace at 5.1 to win at Hull. Hull are a decent enough side but confidence is low after a 4-1 mauling at Leeds whereas the Palace changing room must be jumping after they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat with two late goals agaisnt Coventry in midweek.
In League 1 I think Hartlepool are a bit overpriced judging by what they have done so far this season, being 4.6 away at Stevenage. Stevenage are a solid outfit but I fancy Hartlepool to nick an away win this afternoon.
In League 2 I have stuck with Port Vale who have started life back under Mickey Adams in fine form, with a comfortable win and two decent draw. With Tom Pope playing up with Marc Richards they have an impressive frontline, and their midfield is one of the best in the division. Accrington are consistently underrated but Im going to risk making that mistake an oppose them today.
3 pts SWANSEA v Wigan @ 2.1
3 pts PORT VALE v Accrington @ 2.32
