Football is back!
07:00, 05 Aug 2023

The Football League season is back with a bang and today we have a full Saturday fixture list ahead of us. To help you prepare for the new season we have put together a four-fold accumulator that could help you win in more ways than one this weekend. 

Sunderland WIN (Vs Ipswich Town) - 7/5

Many are predicting big things from Ipswich Town on their return to the Championship and while they may eventually be proven correct, a trip to Sunderland is a tough start to life back in the second-tier for the Tractor Boys. 

Sunderland are unbeaten in their last six league games against an Ipswich side who have lost nine of their last ten trips to the Stadium of Light.  Harry Clarke's suspension and Massimo Luongo's injury won't help matters for the visitors, with first choice goalkeeper Christian Walton also out for 'quite a while' after suffering a plantar fascia injury.

Plymouth Argyle WIN & BTTS Yes - 10/3 

Newly-promoted Plymouth against last season's relegation survivors Huddersfield Town is, at least on paper, a game that'll provide plenty of end to end action. With Steven Schumacher's savvy business in the transfer market, Plymouth will more than likely be a threat going forward. Huddersfield on the other hand have got Neil Warnock back at the helm and have a steady pre-season under their belt with Championship survival the ultimate goal once again. Argyle scored but also conceded plenty last season too. Home Park will be bouncing and Plymouth will emerge victorious but not with a clean sheet.

EFL odds with Betfred*

Peterborough United to beat Reading - 13/10 

There is currently chaos behind the scenes at Reading with the club being in and out of transfer embargoes throughout the summer. The club is in a serious unhealthy state heading into the season and you can expect Peterborough United to capitalise on that as they look to make another charge for the play-offs this term. 

Bradford City to beat Crawley Town - EVS

Always back against the teams in turmoil on the opening day of the season. Crawley Town are in disarray at the moment, and favourites to be relegated from League Two. Their owners WAGMI United have lost touch with the fanbase, they haven’t even got their new kits out and their squad looks incredibly weak on paper. Meanwhile Bradford City should be fighting for a play-off place this term and with Mark Hughes in the dugout and Andy Cook up front, should be able to put the Red Devils to the sword.

Acca pays 47/1 -  £10 returns £478.40 with Betfred.
