EFL Best Bets: Tuesday, October 25th

The games continue to come thick and fast in the EFL as the World Cup looms ever closer. I have picked my three best bets from Tuesday night’s fixture list. Including a game in the Championship featuring two of the ante-post favourites.

Burnley vs Norwich Preview

England, Championship, Saturday, October 25th, 20:00 (UK)

These two sides, both relegated from the Premier League last season, were at the top of the ante-post market for an instant return to the top tier. Both will come into this clash in wildly contrasting form and with polar opposite feelings towards their weekend results.

Having fallen 2-0 down inside 20 minutes to Sunderland, Burnley produced a sensational second-half comeback. Three Clarets goals inside 19 second-half minutes turned the match on its head. Wrapping up the victory minutes before the final whistle through a Josh Brownhill strike into the top corner following a scintillating counterattack.

Norwich would probably have taken a point prior to their battle with promotion rivals Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. However, having held a 2-0 lead at half-time and missing a late penalty, it will certainly feel like two points dropped.

The Canaries opened the scoring after just three minutes when Teemu Pukki charged down keeper Adam Davies’ attempted clearance into the unguarded home goal. The Finnish international doubled both his and his team’s tally with just 13 minutes on the clock. The Blades staged their revival in what was a frenzied second half. End-to-end football, several chances, numerous on-field flashpoints and that all-important missed penalty.

The Stadium of Light comeback from Vincent Kompany’s men extended their unbeaten run to an impressive 13 league games. With neither leaders QPR or 2nd-placed Blackburn in midweek action, a Turf Moor triumph will send Burnley back to the top of the Championship.

They will have too much firepower for this patched up Norwich side who are now winless in five games. Dean Smith has also had to rush back long term casualties Isaac Hayden and Dimi Giannoulis ahead of schedule. It would be asking a lot for both to turn out so quickly. Expect the in-form Nathan Tella to run riot as a result.

Charlton vs MK Dons Preview

England, League One, Tuesday, October 25th, 19:45 (UK)

Charlton made it three League One wins on the spin when they shaded a tight contest at Shrewsbury on Saturday. The victory at Montgomery Waters Meadow was the Addicks’ first three-point haul on the road at the eighth attempt. Jesurun Rak-Sakyi’s strike, the only goal of the game, was enough to lift his side up to 7th in the table and within touching distance of the play-off places.

In contrast, MK Dons’ miserable start to the season plumbed new depths following the defeat at home to Wycombe on Saturday. That was a fifth successive league loss and sent last season’s defeated play-off semi-finalists bottom of the table. The summer departures of Scott Twine and Harry Darling were always going to be tough to overcome. However, the extent of the Dons’ fall from grace has surprised many fans of the EFL.

This clash sees two of last season’s brightest young EFL coaches go head-to-head. Ben Garner earned rave reviews for his work at Swindon. Producing attacking, attractive and successful football. Eye-catching enough to earn his move one rung up the pyramid.

Liam Manning produced much the same product, regularly thrilling the Stadium MK faithful. Performances that earned both Twine and Darling their moves to the Championship when defeat to Wycombe consigned their club to another season in the third tier.

Garner seems to have gotten his message across at The Valley. Results have improved and the goals have started to flow. Manning had earned enough credit to be given time to turn things around. But one would assume that time must be running out. His side have the third-lowest shots per game average to demonstrate how tough they have found things this term. With two sides moving in opposite directions the turnaround won’t start here.

Selection: Charlton to win
Best Odds: 1.80 (William Hill)
Stakes: 7/10

Plymouth vs Shrewsbury Preview

England, League One, Saturday, October 25th, 19:45 (UK)

Plymouth were another side to toss away a two-goal advantage at the weekend. Having travelled to an equally in-form Bristol Rovers side it looked certain the Pilgrims were coasting to another eye-catching result. The ever-impressive Finn Azaz got on the scoresheet once again with a beautiful curling effort. Then Adam Randell smashed a thunderous drive into the same top corner just before half-time. However, the Gas staged a fantastic second-half comeback to deny the league leaders a sixth successive league win.

As mentioned earlier, the Shrews were Charlton’s victims at the weekend. A result which saw the Addicks move above them in the table and drop Steve Cotterill’s side down to 10th.

It was a jolt to the progress they had made after a slow start to the campaign. They failed to score in any of their opening three home games. But fired seven in the next three claiming all nine points in the process. It would have been disappointing to then revert to their shot-shy ways registering only two attempts on target. This represents the toughest assignment to try and get back on track.

Steven Schumacher’s side were massively undervalued before the season kicked off. It seems it is taking a long while for that thinking to change. Whilst promotion rivals like Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday are priced prohibitively on a weekly basis, Argyle are not.

It’s worth a reminder that the league leaders have won seven out of seven at home. Beating the likes of Ipswich (2nd), Sheffield Wednesday (3rd), Peterborough (4th) and Bolton (6th) at Home Park already. They have scored 13 times and conceded just twice in front of their home fans. Odds of 1.75 for another Plymouth win look generous but I like the more aggressive play of the -1 Asian Handicap.

Selection: Plymouth -1 Asian Handicap (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 2.30 (bet365)
Stakes: 8/10
