Weekend football betting tips 25/10/08

The best bet of the Championship this weekend looks like Cardiff to draw with bottom club Nottingham Forest. Despite Cardiff currently being in the play-off spot, seven of their 12 league games this season have ended in a draw. Closer inspection of this record shows that on the road, Cardiff have drawn five of their six fixtures. Although Forest currently rooted to the foot of the table, their home record isn’t that bad with one victory and three draws from 6 games, including some difficult fixtures including Burnley, Reading.  Forest’s downfall is their away form, which leads us to believe a draw is a great value bet at 12/5 with Bet 365 and Sky Bet.

In League 2 we fancy Gillingham to beat Chester. Gillingham have been one of the most inconsistent teams this season, boasting a 5-0 victory and 7-0 defeat in their open ten games. However, at home they are a solid outfit, collecting 13 points from a possible 18, and keeping clean sheets in four of their six games. The visitors to The Priestfield Stadium on Saturday are Chester, who were thrashed 6-1 in midweek against mid table Rochdale. That takes Chester’s goals conceded to 18 on the road this season in just six games, a record we think makes them very vulnerable on Saturday.

Gillingham are best odds 8/11 with Betfred and Paddy Power.
