Beat the Bookies: Week 25

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 27/01/2012

ANOTHER successful week saw Hull win at Reading and AFC's last triumph at Gillingham. This meant another healthy profit in our quest to once again end the season in the black.

FA Cup Tip

QPR v Chelsea - draw (4.13, Pinnacle). QPR have picked up following their managerial change and Chelsea aren't the force they once were. A draw looks a strong possibility.
Hull v Crawley - Draw or Away Win (Stan James, 2.0). Crawley have a great record in this competition and have a great team spirit, and Hull probably haven't been as good as their recent results indicate.

Championship Tip

Reading v Bristol City - away win (5.0 Ladbrokes). The Royals were poor last week against Hull. They've been boosted by the new ownership this week and have made a couple of signings including Jason Roberts, but can they come improve things that quickly? City have had some great results in the last few weeks, this could be another.

League One Tip

Brentford v Wycombe - away win (5.0, Ladbrokes). These two sides may be at opposite ends of the table but on recent form it's the other way round!

Blue Square Premier Tip

Grimsby v AFC Telford - Draw or Away Win (2.75, Corals). Telford have managed a lot of draws away from home this season and no doubt will set their stall out for another one at Grimsby.
