The Saturday Acca
The Hammers are looking a better side than the Saints so far while Derby and Cardiff can enhance their promotion credentials this weekend.
At a best price of 13/1 with BetVictor, we’re taking West Ham, Derby and Cardiff to record victories this weekend and make it a bumper payday for us.
West Ham 15/8 to win at home to Southampton:
The Hammers surprised many people with their convincing away-day victory at Selhurst Park last week with Argentine debutant Mauro Zarate looking like quite a find. Allardyce’s boys have actually had the second most shots in the top flight thus far. They face a Saints team who massively underperformed at home to WBA to suggest Ronald Koeman has his work cut out coping with all the changes at St Mary’s.
Derby 4/5 to win at home to Ipswich:
The Rams unleashed the shackles against Fulham last Saturday with a 5-1 victory which included four second-half goals. It suggests the promotion favourites are now ready to cope with the expectation. The Tractor Boys haven’t won in their last four (D1 L3), failing to find the net in three of those outings.
Two teams who were playing in the Premier League just a few months ago but they are already separated by 16 positions in the Championship table. The Bluebirds were unlucky to lose their unbeaten record to an injury-time own goal at Molineux which shouldn’t trouble them unduly. In contrast, Felix Magath must fear for his job after 0 points return from 4 league fixtures.
