Barnsley vs Fulham Best Bet
Sat, 12th March, 12:30 (UK time)
There appear to be signs of life emanating from Barnsley. Three points snatched from Middlesbrough, Hull, and QPR in recent weeks have given them a fighting chance.
Domingos Quina’s arrival specifically has added goals and a touch of quality. The Watford loanee’s spellbinding midweek strike was cancelled out five minutes into injury time against Stoke.
Oakwell plays host to a bigger test on Saturday. It’s one that Barnsley should struggle to match. Fulham, who continue to lay on showings far above the standard in the Championship, are up next.
The Cottagers come into the weekend winning 10 of their last 12 in the division. Losing to only Huddersfield in that time, the league leaders have been astounding on occasions.
During this timeframe, the following selection eased home in 8 of the 10 wins. Fulham to win and Over 1.5 goals in the match, at 1.86 with Early Payout, provides a nice angle in.
Early Payout (activated if a team takes a two-goal lead) on bet365 would have returned Fulham winnings prematurely in 6 of 10. Fulham and Over 1.5 goals received green ticks on the 45th, 41st, 35th, 50th, 35th and 52nd minute of said successful fixtures.
- Selection: Fulham Win and Over 1.5 goals
- Best Odds: 1.86 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10
Nottingham Forest vs Reading Best Bet
Sat, 12th March, 15:00 (UK time)
Continuing with the same selection, but in Nottingham, provides another angle of attack. Like Barnsley, Reading are fighting for Championship survival.
Veljko Paunovic was released from his managerial duties in Reading less than one month ago. New interim boss, Paul Ince, saw a positive response against Birmingham, followed by two losses.
Five points separate relegation-threatened Derby and Reading. However, with a game in hand, Championship status is certainly in the Royals’ hands.
Nottingham Forest on the road will be tough. The home side’s form has been impressive. Not only are they unbeaten in 2022 at the City Ground, but that run includes overcoming Premier League opposition.
Both Arsenal and Leicester couldn’t overthrow The Tricky Trees on their day, something which may see Reading struggle.
Against the bottom four, Forest are unbeaten. Winning 4 from 6, it’s Reading who are next up on Saturday.
Over 1.5 goals in the match and Reading to lose has landed in 8 of 12 fixtures this calendar year.
- Selection: Nottingham Forest Win and Over 1.5 goals
- Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10

Blackburn Rovers vs Bristol City Best Bet
Sat, 12th March, 15:00 (UK time)
Here we have an intriguing match-up, especially for goal-backers. Blackburn Rovers have gone about their business in 2022 in contrast to the first half of the season.
In the 12 games played by the Lancashire outfit this year, not one has hit three or more goals. Not only that, but none of the 12 has seen both teams score, either.
So, the worst bet in the world would be to combine the two, right? Well, that’s exactly what I’m proposing at a sizeable 2.75 on bet365.
The presence of Bristol City on the road could be enough to encourage an exciting scoreline. Perhaps the trip up north will bring goals to a stingy Ewood Park.
Bristol City’s BTTS and Over 2.5 record of 12 of 17 away matches this season is a league-high. At home, this bet has come to fruition in 51% of matches in Bristol, second to only Bournemouth.
Blackburn Rovers’ lack of goals has to come to a halt at some point. The Robins could be the side to wedge the floodgates open.
- Selection: BTTS and Over 2.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 2.75 (bet365)
- Stakes: 5/10

What is a Championship Acca?
A Championship acca is an accumulator bet, a type of bet that consists of several selections across different matches that are combined together into one single bet. An acca usually. consists of at least four selections but many more can be included. There will be odds for the single bet as a whole which is calculated by multiplying the odds of all of the selections. A Championship acca is one of the most popular ways to bet. This is the case because they can create potentially massive odds for a small stake. Many punters choose to create Championship accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the Championship acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
