This weekend’s English football best bets come from the Premier League, League One and League Two, as we scour the pyramid for winning selections.
Among them we’ve unearthed a very fair value bet against the type of team draw-no-bet backers love to oppose – a side that almost never wins.

Seagulls and Cottagers tough to separate with both in great nick
Picking a winner looks fiendishly difficult when Brighton host Fulham at the Amex Stadium this Saturday. So much so that the draw actually looks a very reasonable price at 5/2.
The hosts have lost just twice in their last 14 games across competitions (W7, D5), while the visitors Fulham have lost only three times in their last 17 (W8, D7).
Brighton have drawn a hefty six of their 13 home league games this season and play opponents constantly involved in games decided by fine margins if at all. Marco Silva’s men have seen 12 of their last 15 EPL outings either decided by a one-goal margin, or finish all square.
Tip: Brighton vs Fulham draw @ 5/2
Back Lincoln to find the net and add value to Birmingham bounceback
Birmingham are 1/2 favourites to get back to winning ways after losing a League One game for the first time since November on Tuesday night.
A Lincoln side that have lost three of their past five look fair game for favourite-backers, but they ought to be able to find the net at St Andrews, having notched more goals than any other team in the division over the past six matches (13).
The Blues can be backed to win a match of over 2.5 goals at 13/8 and should be aided in that endeavour by an Imps defence that’s been as generous as their attack has been prolific of late.
Only three League One sides have shipped more than their 10 concessions over the past six games.
Tip: Birmingham to beat Lincoln & both teams to score @ 13/8
In-form Bromely draw-no-bet dynamite against win-phobic Tranmere
Pretty much any League Two side would have to be considered a draw-no-bet proposition against a Tranmere outfit that have won just twice in their last 22 games in all competitions and are currently on a 12-match winless run (5D, 7L).
Saturday opponents Bromley are in the perfect mood for the job having won five of their last six in the division, with the sole loss coming to second-placed Bradford City.
On that basis the 20/21 about the south-east London/Kent borders side looks like a very generous assessment from the Betzone traders.
