Huddersfield vs Norwich Preview
England, Championship, Wednesday, March 14th, 19:45 (UK)
With the news of the Terriers being placed into a transfer embargo on Monday morning, there’s a sense of ‘can this season get any worse?’
From making the playoff final last season under Carlos Corberán to appointing Neil Warnock in a last-ditch attempt to save Championship status – we arrive on match day 37 in a worrying set of circumstances.
With just one win in 12 and occupying 23rd in the league, Warnock has a serious job on his hands. Despite that, we’ll swerve the leading markets here and settle with a cards punt considering who is officiating in the middle.
Keith Stroud, who you’ll be fully aware of if you’ve had any bets on cautions in the second tier, oversees proceedings.
The four main data points from Stroud’s 23 Championship appearances this season when putting together the bet builder:
- 65% both teams carded in SH
- 2.13 FH cards per90
- 3.13 SH cards per90
- 5.09 cards per90
Huddersfield vs Norwich Best Bet
In addition, the 1.94 cards per90 for Huddersfield at The John Smith Stadium, and the 2.47 per90 average when the Canaries take flight on the road, lay the foundations for the prospect of cautions throughout the 90.
The hosts are in dire need of points. Norwich? Playoff football will be a distant memory if they can’t pencil in results in situations like this. Let’s hope that desire for points on the board from either team spills into cautions on the pitch.
- Selection: 1+ First Half Card & Card Each in Second Half
- Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10

Blackburn vs Reading Preview
England, Championship, Wednesday, March 14th, 19:45 (UK)
Reading have lost 13 of their 18 away fixtures this season. That’s the second-worst record on the road, behind only Huddersfield.
Unfortunately for the Royals, there are few signs of improvement. Paul Ince’s Reading outfit travels to Blackburn on the back of five straight losses. Not only that, but they’ve failed to record a single goal in the following 450 minutes of football:
- 5-0 vs Boro
- 1-0 vs Cardiff
- 1-0 vs Sunderland
- 4-0 vs Stoke
- 1-0 vs West Brom
The 1-1 draw against Norwich on the 30th of December was the last occasion Reading scored a goal away from home. So, not one strike in their favour in 2023, and now readying themselves for a trip to an expectant Ewood Park with eyes on locking in one of the four playoff spots.
It may be wise to assume that Reading aren’t taking all three points home on Wednesday night. If they struggle to knick a goal in Blackburn, Under 2.5 goals is a player.
Blackburn vs Reading Best Bet
At 1.66, the bookies favour a low-scoring affair. Considering Blackburn have scored the fewest home goals (23) of all teams in the top half of the Championship, you can see why especially alongside Reading’s struggles.
Combining the two fancies of Blackburn or Draw and U2.5 goals at 1.90 seems reasonable enough.
- Selection: Blackburn or Draw & U2.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 1.95 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10

Real Madrid vs Liverpool Preview
Champions League, Wednesday, March 14th, 20:00 (UK)
The next pick isn’t rocket science. Liverpool will need to throw the kitchen sink at Real Madrid in their own backyard if they’re to get anything from the tie.
Even the most ardent Liverpool supporters will be less than hopeful of their longevity in the competition following the 5-2 dismantling at Anfield. Under the lights on Merseyside, it took Darwin Nunez a matter of minutes to get on the scoresheet before Mohamed Salah doubled Liverpool’s advantage not long after.
It went from bad to worse for Klopp’s side in the first leg, something only a lightning start will threaten to rectify on Wednesday night. If anyone can right those wrongs, it’ll come in the shape of Nunez or Salah. The former has a 4.99 shots per90 (3.8 90s) average in the Champions League this campaign.
That should reassure anyone reading this that the former Benfica marksman will shoot on sight if Liverpool can work an opportunity near the Real Madrid goal. As should the 2.62 Shots on Target per90 total borne from the above figure. No player who has featured for more than 3.0 90s boasts a taller shots or shots on target average in the Champions League.
Real Madrid vs Liverpool Best Bet
With Karim Benzema priced at 2.20 to find the net and Mo Salah at 2.75, I’m happy to look a little further out at 3.10 for the Uruguayan to have his say in the Spanish capital. He has four goals from his 3.8 Champions League 90s in Liverpool red, so why not?
- Selection: Darwin Nunez Score Anytime
- Best Odds: 3.10 (bet365)

WHAT IS A FOOTBALL ACCA?
A football 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 football 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 Premier League accas which is what we have created here. If one of these selections loses then the football acca will lose. This type of bet needs every selection to win in order to succeed.
