While fans from across the globe might be waiting for the 2022 World Cup to get underway, it will be England’s lower leagues that take center stage this weekend. So, for those of you looking to stick on a Saturday acca, we have found a handful of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for.
Saturday November 19th
BST 15:00 Sheffield Wednesday vs Shrewsbury Town
Although Sheffield Wednesday might have seen their EFL Cup run come to an end away at Premier League outfit Southampton earlier in the week, the Owls are enjoying an impressive run of form. Last seen picking up a 1-0 victory away at Accrington Stanley, Darren Moore’s men have their sights set on clinching a Championship return this season. Opening up this weekend’s fixtures sat just a single point adrift of breaking into the automatic promotion spots, Saturday’s hosts have lost just one of their last 11 League One outings. With that eye-catching run of form stemming all the way back to September 3rd, the former West Brom boss has also seen his side continue to impress on home soil. Winning five of their last six matchups at Hillsborough, Wednesday will be looking to lay down another marker here. While Shrewsbury might have managed to extend on their FA Cup adventure on November 5th thanks to a 2-1 win against National League side York, Steve Cotterill’s side are enduring a worrying League One blip. Last seen getting hit with a 1-0 loss at home against Barnsley, Saturday’s guests are without a victory in any of their last five fourth-tier appearances. Slipping their way down the table, the former ex-Birmingham boss will know that his side face a real challenge this weekend. With just a single away win to their name since the start of September, we’re backing a home victory for the promotion contenders.
Tip: Sheffield Wednesday win & Under 4.5 goals @ 10/11
15:00 Dagenham & Redbridge vs Scunthorpe
Putting in another rampant display last weekend as they cruised their way to a thumping 3-0 win away at Solihull Moors, Dagenham & Redbridge are enjoying what has been a stellar run of form. While the Daggers might have eventually missed out on a play-off spot last season, it is no secret that Daryl McMahon’s men are desperate to go one step further this time around. Continuing to skyrocket their way up the National League table, Saturday’s hosts have won each of their last three fifth-tier outings. Knowing that a fourth consecutive win this weekend could move them within striking distance of the top-six, the former Macclesfield boss has also seen his high-flying squad lose just one of their previous nine appearances. With that eye-catching run stemming all the way back to October 1st, the Londoners have also found a recent clinical edge in the final third. With their three-match winning run highlighted by a thumping 4-1 win at home against Wealdstone on October 29th, McMahon’s side should be smelling a chance here. On the flip side, last seen getting hit with a downbeat 2-0 loss at home against Maidstone, Scunthorpe find themselves in the midst of an extended nightmare. Losing each of their last three National League showdowns by an aggregate score of 7-1, Saturday’s guests are firmly at the heart of another relegation scrap. Without a single win on their travels since opening the 2022/23 campaign, we’re backing a home victory here.
Tip: Dagenham & Redbridge win @ 19/20
15:00 Chesterfield vs Solihull Moors
Although Chesterfield might have endured somewhat of a blip back in October, Saturday’s hosts have come roaring back in some style. Last seen putting in another stellar display as they cruised their way to a 5-1 romp away at Torquay, the Spireites have their sights firmly set on securing a Football League return this season. Tipped as a landslide pick to book a play-off finish, Paul Cook’s men have now won each of their last four matchups across all formats. With their recent purple patch highlighted by a 1-0 victory against Northampton while on FA Cup duties earlier in the month, the Blues have also taken 13 points from their last five fifth-tier appearances. Gaining plenty of plaudits this year, the former Wigan boss has also seen his side continue to impress on home soil. Including an action-packed 3-2 win against Bromley on October 22nd, Chesterfield have won each of their previous five showdowns at the Technique Stadium. Racking up 16 strikes on their seven-match unbeaten run, Cook’s side will be looking to cash in on a Solihull Moors side who are enduring an extended rut. Crashing out of the FA Cup earlier in the week after suffering penalties heartbreak away at Hartlepool, Neal Ardley’s men have lost each of their last three matchups against National League opposition. Likewise, without a win from any of their previous six appearances across all competitions, a home victory can be found at appealing odds.
