Monday's Free Football Betting Tips & Predictions

After a big weekend of Easter football, we move on to Monday, where I'll try to find the best value in selected English football fixtures.

Tottenham vs Nottingham Forest

Ange Postecoglou's future looks uncertain after Tottenham's miserable Premier League campaign. Spurs are languishing in the bottom half of the table after losing 17 of their 32 league matches.

They did advance to the Europa League semi-final on Thursday thanks to a 1-0 victory away at Eintracht Frankfurt, but that may leave them feeling fatigued coming into this one. Spurs have lost a staggering 16 of their last 20 League matches against teams starting the day in the top half.

After back-to-back Premier League defeats against Everton and Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest will feel mightily relieved that 5th place is now a guaranteed Champions League spot, thanks to Arsenal's success over Real Madrid midweek.

Forest are looking to avoid three consecutive losses for just the second time under Nuno Espirito Santo, but they should be full of confidence after winning all seven Premier League away matches against teams starting the day in the bottom half.

Millwall vs Norwich City

Millwall's playoff hopes took a dent after losing 4-1 away to Blackburn on Friday, but they still have an outside chance of making the top six if they win here. The Lions have won four of the last six Championship matches and are looking for a fourth straight home win today.

Norwich continued their dismal form with a 5-3 defeat at home against Portsmouth on Friday. Pompey had lost 15 of their last 21 away games before their win at Carrow Road, as the Canaries continue to leak goals.

Norwich have lost their last three Championship away matches and haven't won on the road since a 1-0 victory over Watford in February. Millwall have been solid at home in recent games and should have too much for the struggling Canaries.

Plymouth Argyle vs Coventry

After back-to-back home wins against Norwich and Sheffield United, Plymouth have given themselves a chance to avoid relegation. It's going to be a big task with Coventry, Preston, and Leeds left to play, so today is a huge match for The Pilgrims, who remain 3 points from safety.

Frank Lampard's team occupies the last playoff place and are three points ahead of Middlesbrough in 7th. Coventry have picked up seven points in their last three Championship fixtures and can put one foot into the playoffs with a victory here today.

This looks set to be a huge match for both of these clubs, and I expect plenty of goals. Plymouth's last four matches have featured over 2.5 goals, and they've failed to score in just two of their last seven. Coventry are the 4th highest scoring team in the Championship with 59 goals and have failed to score just once in their last thirteen matches in all competitions.

Sheffield Wednesday vs Middlesbrough

Sheffield Wednesday are mathematically safe for another season in the Championship, but their form lately has been poor. The Owls are winless in their last six, have lost their previous three home matches 1-0, and haven't recorded a victory at Hillsborough since New Year's Day.

Middlesbrough needed a late penalty to edge past bottom club Plymouth last time out, but Michael Carrick's men remain in the playoff race and are just three points behind Coventry in 6th.

Boro have won three of their last five Championship matches and can keep the pressure on the teams above them in the Playoff race with a victory against the struggling Owls.

Luton Town vs Bristol City

Luton have boosted their survival chances after a run of 1 defeat in their last seven games, including a huge 1-0 victory against fellow strugglers Derby County. The Hatters remain in the relegation zone on goal difference but look set to be competitive enough to stay up.

Bristol City continued their playoff push with a 2-1 home victory over Sunderland on Friday and have won three of their last four. The Robins are 5th in the Championship and have a four-point buffer over Middlesbrough in 7th.

Both teams are desperate for points for different reasons, so I can see this being a lively encounter. BTTS looks most likely, even with Luton being the lowest scorers in the Championship.

Burton vs Birmingham

Burton remain in huge trouble for relegation and are outside the drop zone on goal difference coming into today's match. Three wins in their last six have given them a chance, but a dismal 0-0 draw away at Exeter, where they registered just one shot on target, won't help their confidence as they face the League One Champions today.

Birmingham have outclassed the rest of the teams in League One and can look forward to an immediate return to the Championship next season. The Blues have won four of their last five league games and have lost just three games away from home this season.

The Brewers have won just five games at home this season, including 10 defeats. Birmingham are the top scorers in the League with 73 goals and should breach this defence with ease.

Wycombe vs Charlton

Wycombe jumped above Wrexham after a 2-0 away win at Bolton on Friday and now occupy the last automatic promotion spot. Five wins in their last seven matches in League One have edged them closer to Championship football next season.

Charlton secured their place in the League One playoffs with a 2-1 win over Northampton on Friday and have suffered just one defeat in their previous twelve matches. The Addicks have an outside chance of automatic promotion but face two teams above them in their last three matches, starting with a trip to Adams Park today.

Wycombe have lost just three matches at home all season and have won six of their previous 10 at Adams Park. Charlton have won 9/21 away matches this season and have won four of their last six on the road.

This is a huge match for both teams, and both sides are in tremendous form, but I think the home support will be the deciding factor in a close victory for Wycombe.
