Football Park's Best Bets | Weekend EFL Best Bets

There's nothing like the EFL, is there?

Removed from the glitz, glamour and flagrant VAR issues of England's top flight, EFL football is for the proper fans and avidities of the game. More importantly, it's deemed as one of the most unpredictable areas of football in the world, promoting solid betting prices at all times.

We at Football Park love trying to navigate our way through the unpredictability of the English Football League, and we have knocked together our best bets for this coming weekend to kick off November the right way.

We recommend taking all of these bets at the cost of one unit each. Fancy every single one of them? Opt for half a unit on multiple or more of them!

Goals Akimbo At The KP

Two teams squaring off of differing fortune in the Championship this season, but one boosted by a massive win last time out.

Blackburn are scrapping away at the business end of the second-tier table, but have been left to rue a lack of defensive solidarity to the cause of their troubles in the opening 11 games. They've shipped 17 goals this season, the tied-3rd-most in the division altogether whilst bagging 10 of their own.

However, whilst they might be averaging just under a goal per game, Blackburn have been fairly adept at sneaking goals unexpectedly. They've found the net in 5 of their last 7 (6 from 8 if you count the travesty that was their game against Ipswich) and have mainly been left to rue their backline. They can take inspiration from a huge win over Southampton last time out as courage, as well as coming up against a below-expectations Leicester team that have conceded in 6 of their last 8. Furthermore, The Foxes have seen both teams find the net in just over half of their league home games this term, falling ill of avoidable goals to only fuel the Blackburn encouragement on Saturday.

Lions To Roar On Road

Honestly, this is a very tasty price indeed.

Millwall are always being left to wonder whether each year could finally be 'their year', having never tasted the heights of Premier League football before in their existence, since the league's inception back in 1992. Well, this year, with several dropped-down teams from the top flight struggling to make an inroads back up the table, they might actually have a good chance.

The Lions currently sit 3rd in the Championship table, and next face a visit away from home to Oxford United that should treat them just perfectly. Millwall have been the 4th best team in the league on their travels, accumulating 11 points and winning 3 from 5, whilst Oxford have won just one home game all season whilst losing 2 from 5.

The Lions are on a brilliant run at the moment with 4 wins on the bounce, and Oxford's struggles towards the bottom area of the table should stand no real challenge for them. Now, does anyone in Bermondsey need a haircut...

Rangers To Win With Security

Now, speaking of home form...

QPR have been a very tough nut to crack this season, having lost just a singular game at home (against Millwall, funnily enough) over the duration of the campaign whilst sitting in a respectable 9th overall. They next face a visit from Kieran McKenna's relegated Tractor Boys, who are struggling to piece together any consistency in their bid for an immediate Premier League return.

The R's have only lost two from their last eight matches overall, whilst Ipswich Town are the second-worst away side in the entire league, failing to win a single one of their 4 trips on the road so far this season.

In pure quality on paper, Ipswich are the betting favourites, so a Double Chance line is recommended. Fancy the R's for the big win? You can grab that at a tasty 3.45.

Silence Of The Rams

As a Forest fan writing this, I promise I will do my upmost to call this one down the middle as a man with a hatred for both sides involved here.

Sheffield United's season start has been cataclysmic. The arrival of Chris Wilder to try and stem the bleeding left behind by Ruben Selles has only generated a small handful of decent results, but it would be a lie to say that they have not been looking much improved as of late, despite throwing away a two-goal lead to lose to Preston last time out.

Before that point, The Blades had won two on the trot and were looking much more like the outfit tipped to be near the upper echelons of the Championship table after their play-off final defeat to Sunderland last season. They'll be after a bounce-back result, and will be hoping Derby County's visit to Sheffield can bare just that resemblance for them.

Derby's five-game winless run has now been superseded by back-to-back 1-0 wins over Norwich and QPR respectively, both of which coming at their place in Pride Park. Away from home, though, they haven't been anything special with just one singular road win to their name. Bramall Lane has hardly been a fortress this season, with The Blades winning once and losing four at home so far, but they should be able to come away with at least a point in this one.

Expect both teams to trouble each other's goalkeepers, and Sheffield United to at least anchor one point to their home.
