MILLWALL SUDDENLY IN WITH A SHOUT

We made a small profit last week with Bristol City thrashing a hapless Bolton 6-0. 4/5 can sometimes look quite attractive when the game is all but over after half an hour and City had been threatening to give somebody a hiding at Ashton Gate.

It’s tempting to look at the ‘minus one’ market in matches like this and there would have been no worries giving Bolton a goal start. Still, finding the value is often quite hard. If the opposition scores early, your team has to score at least three times and that can be quite a tall order. The main problem, however, is the price. If the home team is 4/5 to win, the minus one price is often no better than 15/8 – handsome where Bristol City were concerned but we only knew that afterwards.

Teams that are flying at present include Millwall and Bristol Rovers. The latter are in the play-off positions and won again on Good Friday, beating Cambridge 3-0. I think they will still be in with a shout at the end of the season.

Millwall have quietly crept into contention in League One after a long spell in the doldrums. They beat a very disappointing Sheffield United 1-0 at the New Den last week and I doubt they will be beaten at Bradford on Saturday. My main wager on the day – I never bet on international friendlies, or any other sort – would be MILLWALL to win, draw no bet. They will still be a shade of odds against but you will have to shop around.

Dover have delighted their nearest and dearest in the National League and should account for Torquay.
