FA Cup Goals Galore Acca

Six teams who rarely keep cleans sheets means our goal expectations should be high.

Looking through this weekend’s fixture list there are some tricky matches to call therefore a good tactic is to capitalise on their leaky defences. This Saturday i’m expecting both teams to score in the following games:
Derby v Blackburn
Huddersfield v Leicester
Bolton v Everton
An accumulator on all three pays 9/2 with Stan James

Derby v Blackburn
One point and one place separates the two sides in the Championship. The result is difficult to call but with two leaky defences on show I expect both teams to score. Blackburn have failed to keep a clean sheet in 23/28 league matches with Derby conceding in 24/28 matches.

Huddersfield v Leicester
Chris Wood has been prolific since his move to Leicester, but his teammates have conceded in 16/28 league matches. Huddersfield have scored in all but two home games this season, including when thrashed 6-1 by Leicester on Boxing Day. The Foxes are strong favourites but don’t expect Huddersfield to roll-over, with their players out to prove a point after Simon Grayson’s sacking during the week

Bolton v Everton
There might be a difference in league status but when Everton play you can bank on goals. Two recent nil-nil draws are probably a deviation from the mean for David Moyes’ men. They have kept only five clean sheets all season, the same as Bolton.

Back both teams to score in all three matches at Stan James at a best price of 9/2.
