October 14h: Saturday’s Football Accumulator – 7/1

While the European Championship qualifiers might make their return this week, we still have a stacked schedule from across England’s professional tiers. With a host of eye-catching affairs from across the country on Saturday afternoon, we have found a trio of helpful tips that are worth taking note of. 

Saturday, October 14th

BST 15:00 Blackpool vs Stevenage

After losing their Championship status last season, Blackpool have their sights set on securing an immediate second-tier return this time around. Last seen earlier in the week putting a rampant performance on EFL Trophy duties as they claimed a 5-2 win against Liverpool’s U21s, Neil Critchley’s side will be looking to lay down another League One marker here. Signing off September with an eye-catching 1-0 victory against Barnsley, Saturday’s hosts have suffered just a pair of defeats from any of their previous eight appearances across all fronts. With their impressive third-tier flurry highlighted by a 4-1 romp against Reading last month, the Oranges will also be excited by their continued success at Bloomfield Road. In fact, Critchley’s men have lost just one of their opening eight showdowns in front of their own supporters. Likewise, claiming a 1-0 win when they last welcomed Stevenage to Lancashire back in 2017, Blackpool will be looking to cash in on a Stevenage squad that are in the midst of a recent struggle. Putting in a toothless EFL Trophy performance in midweek as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against Wycombe, Saturday’s guests have now lost three of their previous four appearances across all formats. Signing off September with a 3-1 drumming at the hands of Oxford, it is also worth noting that the Boro have mustered just two wins from any of their last eight outings – a run that stems back over the past six weeks.

Tip: Blackpool win @ 13/10

15:00 Harrogate vs Stockport  

While Stockport might have suffered League Two play-off heartbreak last season, Saturday’s guests certainly aren’t showing any signs of a hangover. Last seen putting in another eye-catching display as they landed a 3-1 victory away at Salford while on EFL Trophy duties, Dave Challinor’s men are riding a remarkable wave of momentum. Opening October with a routine 2-0 win against Forest Green, the Hatters have now won each of their previous seven appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to a 3-3 draw against Crawley on September 2nd. Gaining a reputation for their clinical performances in the final third and with their extended purple patch highlighted by a 5-0 romp against Wrexham last month, it is no surprise that Stockport find themselves tipped as a leading promotion contender this time around. On the flip side, although Harrogate might have eventually slumped to an action-packed 5-3 defeat at home against Accrington Stanley a few days ago, Saturday’s guests will be excited to make a return to League Two duties this weekend. Last seen in fourth-tier action landing an impressive 2-1 victory away at Newport, the Yorkshire-based outfit have still collected nine points from their last four showdowns. It should also be noted, with Harrogate seeing three of their previous four home fixtures finish with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome here.

Tip: Both teams to score @ 5/6

15:00 Bromley vs Wealdstone  

Last seen mounting a dramatic late comeback away at York as they eventually snatched a 2-2 draw, it is no secret that Bromley have their sights firmly set on mounting another play-off charge this time around. Signing off September with a routine 3-1 victory against Gateshead, the mood in Andy Woodman’s camp should remain at a real high. Hoping to extend on their FA Cup adventure and collect a fellow National League scalp this weekend, Saturday’s hosts have lost just one of their previous 13 straight appearances across all competitions. With that stellar purple patch stemming all the way back to August 12th, Bromley have also gained a reputation for their continued success at Hayes Lane. Including a stellar 4-1 win against Maidenhead last month, the Ravens have now won all of their last five showdowns in front of their own supporters. Likewise, notching 13 strikes on that five-match winning run, Woodman’s side will be smelling the chance to lay down another marker here. On the flip side, while Wealdstone might have claimed a much-needed 1-0 win at home against Woking last month, it appears that was nothing more than a minor boost for Stuart Maynard’s struggling squad. Last seen getting hit with a 1-0 loss against Kidderminster, Saturday’s guests have collected just a single win from any of their previous seven National League showdowns.

Tip: Bromley win @ 1/1
