Midweek English football tips

Stevenage vs Bolton – Both teams to score – No @ 19/20
Fleetwood vs Salford – Draw & Under 2.5 goals @ 7/2
Tottenham to beat Man City @ 13/8

Boro well-priced to continue mind-boggling BTTS-No streak

Stevenage are the barons of the both teams to score – no wager this season, with 13 of their 16 games in all competitions seeing at least one side keep a clean sheet.

That includes 12 of their last 13 outings and all seven matches they’ve played at Broadhall Way since the start of 2024/25. A price of 19/20 about at least one team firing a blank when Bolton come to visit looks well worth a second look as a result.

BTTS-no has clicked in the Trotters’ last two League One outings, while Stevenage have kept five clean sheets on home turf already this term.

Highbury Stadium showdown looks destined for a draw

The home and away form tables suggest there’s a high probability the spoils will be shared when Salford visit Fleetwood in an all north-west showdown on Wednesday evening.

A draw can be backed at 5/2. That looks decent value given Fleetwood have drawn three of their five home games this season, while their visitors have drawn four of their six on the road.

The sides are likely to prove all the more difficult to separate given both have often been involved in low-scoring affairs in these respective roles in 2024/25.

Town have scored three and conceded three across those five home league games, while Salford have scored five and conceded six across their six away days in the division.

Tip: Fleetwood vs Salford – Draw @ 5/2

Lilywhites can punish lightweight City for deprioritising EFL Cup tie

Manchester City’s frantic pursuit of Champions League glory has seen them pay less and less care to Carabao Cup success in recent seasons and that makes Tottenham an intriguing win bet proposition at 13/8 in the side’s fourth-round clash on Wednesday.

City won the trophy four times in a row between 2018 and 2021, but have only got as far as the quarter-finals in one of the four seasons since.

Manager Pep Guardiola has already told reporters he won’t risk any key players for a tie that’s followed by three more away trips (two EPL and UCL) and that could mean a selection of similar strength to the one that crept past Championship Watford 2-1 at the Etihad in round three.

Tottenham have long been one of City’s most consistent bogey sides, having drawn with or beaten them at least once in each of the last six seasons and they can take advantage of an opposition XI diluted with academy talent to progress to the last eight.
