BTTS Win Tips Saturday 6th August
Northampton v Fleetwood – Northampton to win BTTS
Our opening selection on this weekend football tip comes from League One as newly promoted Northampton Town take on Fleetwood at Sixfields. The hosts head into the new season high on confidence after absolutely walking the League Two title last time out. The Cobblers finished the campaign on a whopping 99 points and 13 clear second place – which was largely due to a 24 match unbeaten run from December right through to May. From our bet’s perspective, though, Northampton Town recorded a highly-impressive 16 BTTS wins over the course of that season, as well as also having the third highest BTTS ratio in the division at 63%. Obviously with the step up in class there is an element of risk over how they may perform against a higher calibre opposition. However, opponents Fleetwood Town did finish just outside the relegation places last term and also had the second worst away record in the league as well. With this in mind, 4/1 looks a decent price for Northampton to win with both teams finding the net.
Plymouth v Luton – Plymouth to win BTTS
Our second choice this Saturday is a League Two affair as one of the division’s favourites Plymouth entertain Luton Town at Home Park. The Pilgrims will be absolutely kicking themselves that they are not starting this campaign in League One after being in an incredibly strong position at Christmas last year. Plymouth’s form totally dropped off after the mid-way point and they eventually fell-foul of Wimbledon in the playoff final. Nevertheless, the hosts did have a very encouraging BTTS record over the course of the 2015/16 season with no fewer than 12 of their victories coming via a BTTS result and 61% of their matches ending with both teams finding the net. Although opponents Luton will be no walkovers this weekend, Plymouth started last season very strongly and were also unbeaten in all five of their preseason friendlies leading up to this Saturday as well. Therefore, back Argyle to edge The Hatters on Saturday with a BTTS victory.
Rangers v Hamilton – Rangers to win BTTS
The final tick on the coupon this weekend sends us on a trip to the Scottish Premiership as Rangers take on Hamilton at Ibrox following their long-awaited return to Scotland’s top flight. Mark Warburton’s side romped the Championship last season after finishing eleven points clear of second-placed Falkirk. In addition to this, Rangers also plundered an incredible 88 goals over the campaign and recorded 10 BTTS wins from their 36 fixtures. Form in preseason has also been impressive for The Gers, with five straight victories and just a solitary 3-1 defeat to Premier League side Burnley a few days ago. Their opposition comes in the form of Hamilton who finished a disappointing 10th position last year and were on the end of some complete thrashings on several occasions over the course of the season. Although they should be a tougher nut to crack than most of the teams Rangers have been used to playing over the last few years, Hamilton have an absolutely dire record against their hosts and have not beaten them since 1987. This match looks a safe pair of hands to round things off this Saturday’s both teams to score and win tip.
