Weekend Football League Preview and Saturday Accumulator Tip

The Football League is back with a bang this weekend and we will have all our betting tips online through this week but here is an early 45/1 accumulator tip.

The action gets underway on Friday 2^nd August in League One when Sheffield United host Notts County live on Sky Sports 1 (kick off 7.45pm) before the Championship gets underway at 12.15pm on Saturday with Burley vs Bolton Wanderers, also live on Sky Sports 1.

At 3pm we are treated to ten Championship fixtures including QPR vs Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley vs Wigan Athletic as well as 11 League One matches where two of the early favourites for promotion, Preston North End and Wolves go head to head. There are also a full quota of 12 fixtures from League Two.

The return of the Football League means our first chance in two months to get a winning accumulator bet and pit our wits against Betfred in the hunt for a winning Goals Galore coupon on Saturday afternoon.

Following the Saturday 3pm matches the first weekend of Football League fixtures concludes with a Championship clash between Derby County and Blackburn Rovers (4pm kick-off) on Sunday afternoon, live on Sky Sports 1.

Looking ahead to the weekend football fixtures the bookies are already giving latest betting odds and a few prices that stand out are Wigan (8/5 Boylesports) to beat Barnsley and Nottingham Forest (5/6 Coral) to beat Huddersfield in the Championship.

Down in League One Sheffield United (Evens Coral) could get punters off to a flying start against Notts County but the real bet of League One on Saturday may well be Preston (13/8 Betfred) to overturn Wolves.

League Two sees just one home side at odds on, Fleetwood Town (8/11 Bet365) to beat Dagenham and Redbridge but the eye catcher is Rochdale (5/4 Paddy Power) to beat newly relegated Hartlepool.

As we know betting on the first day of the football season is never easy, but if you can find one, an accumulator could pay a fortune on the opening day.

Betting on Wigan, Nottm Forest, Preston, Fleetwood and Rochdale all to win on Saturday afternoon returns at odds of 45/1 at Coral (at the time of writing) this is the best odds of any bookmaker.
