The table-topping outfit host Exeter this time out.<\/p>\n<p>The Bluebirds have won eight of their 10 league games in front of their own supporters while Exeter are the worst travelling side in England&#8217;s third tier, gaining just six points from a possible 30.<\/p>\n<p>Our final pick comes from League Two and it&#8217;s another side at the top of the table. WALSALL are unbeaten in their last seven across all competitions with five of those being wins.<\/p>\n<p>Crewe are sliding into becoming a mid-table side and have lost contests against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/211209\/crewe-alexandra-vs-bromley\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bromley<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/211201\/crewe-alexandra-vs-swindon-town\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Swindon<\/a>, the other teams alongside Walsall in the top three.<\/p>\n<p>A number of teams were discussed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XcJg3ZqmOgs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">latest edition of the This Week&#8217;s Acca podcast<\/a> and we&#8217;ve added two of those to make up a longer sixfold accumulator.<\/p>\n<p>MIDDLESBROUGH welcome Blackburn. Boro may well have been beaten by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/212409\/bristol-city-vs-middlesbrough\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bristol City<\/a> in their last match but they were enjoying a four-game winning run under their new manager prior to it. Rovers, meanwhile, have managed just one win in their last six outings.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we&#8217;re taking BLACKPOOL for a home win over Doncaster. A glance at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/league-tables\/sky-bet-league-one\/16\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sky Bet League One table<\/a> has this as a battle of two &#8216;bad&#8217; sides but the hosts have looked to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>Under Ian Evatt, they have won three of their last four and striker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/ashley-fletcher\/1019\/stats\/blackpool\/941\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ashley Fletcher<\/a> is in great form with six goals in his last seven appearances. Doncaster have won once in 14 league matches and were thrashed 5-1 at home by struggling Plymouth last time out.<\/p>\n<p>Odds correct at 1230 GMT (22\/12\/25)<\/p>\n<p>More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n<p>We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
