This weekend’s English football tips see us getting involved with two famously underbet eventualities, the draw and the under in the goals market, but the bet of the weekend comes from the crowd-pleasing match result plus both teams to score stable.

Unders backers’ union implicated in Friday night Sky League Two pick
Tranmere vs Salford looks a perverse selection for Sky Sports+ honours on Friday night, but backing the 21/10 about under 1.5 goals can give a dour game extra spice.
Both sides average less than a goal a game in League Two this term – with Tranmere having mustered three in six fourth tier outings and Salford four – and both come into this televised tussle off a game in which they failed to find the net.
Tip: Tranmere vs Salford – Under 1.5 goals @ 21/10
Stalemate inevitable in duel of the draw devotees at the City Ground
The Premier League season is still young but already Nottingham Forest have the look of draw magnets. Nuno Espirito Santo’s men have drawn four of six in all competitions, winning the other two 1-0, with five of those games seeing two goals or less.
It’s 23/10 that their clash with Fulham ends in parity and the Cottagers look prime partners in this points-sharing exercise. Three of their last four in all competitions ended 1-1 (the eventual extra-time EFL Cup win over Preston included), while five of their seven games this term have rewarded under 2.5 goals backers.
Tip: Nottm Forest vs Fulham draw @ 23/10
BTTS sweetener a big Birmingham value boost in battle of the blues
Pre-season League One title jollies Birmingham are 8/15 favourites for victory at home to Peterborough United on the back of five successive third-tier victories.
That price looks skinny enough against a Posh side sat in seventh, but adding both teams to score to the home win wager boosts the odds close to must-bet value at 9/5.
City have already beaten table-topping Wrexham 3-1 at St Andrews, so the win is assumed, but BTTS has also clicked in five of their six in the league this term.
Meanwhile, five of the visitors’ seven league games to date have seen both sheets sullied including all four of their away days. Darren Ferguson’s side netted twice or more in each of those road trips so have every chance of piercing the Birmingham backline.
Tip: Birmingham to beat Peterborough & both teams to score @ 9/5
