Mark Robins\u2019 side have won six of their previous eight games, with their one defeat being against title-chasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/234248\/stoke-city-vs-middlesbrough\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Middlesbrough<\/a>. In fact, their losses this season have come solely at the hands of fellow top-eight sides.<\/p>\n<p>That should put them in a strong position as they welcome a struggling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/bristol-city\/228\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bristol City<\/a> outfit with just one win from their last six to their name. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/234151\/bristol-city-vs-blackburn-rovers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Blackburn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/234252\/bristol-city-vs-sheffield-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sheffield United<\/a> have inflicted back-to-back 1-0 defeats on them too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sticking in the second tier where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/preston-north-end\/227\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Preston<\/a> are worth opposing at the prices. They have only taken one point from the last 18 on offer and that came at the 10 men of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/234169\/queens-park-rangers-vs-preston-north-end\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">QPR<\/a> where North End squandered a two goal advantage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/west-bromwich-albion\/4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WEST BROM<\/a> are the visitors. They\u2019ve won each of their last two and have only lost three in the league all season (W6 D2). Those defeats came against Middlesbrough, Wolves and Birmingham, three top sides with the latter two local rivals. On the road, the Baggies have beaten Norwich, Derby and Wrexham and they have bested each of the four sides directly above Preston in the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The standout price on the slate comes from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/league-tables\/sky-bet-league-two\/83\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">League Two<\/a> where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/barnet\/960\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BARNET<\/a> host Oldham. Don\u2019t get deterred by the Bees&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/234922\/barnet-vs-swindon-town\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">3-1 defeat at home to Swindon<\/a> as the visitors scored with each of their first three shots of the game. Heading into that fixture, Barnet were unbeaten in 11 (W7) and that was their first home defeat of the campaign (W4 D1).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visitors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/oldham-athletic\/315\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oldham<\/a> were beaten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/235022\/walsall-vs-oldham-athletic\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">3-0 by Walsall<\/a> in midweek. Heading into that clash the Latics were three unbeaten but they are the worst travellers in the division (W0 D1 L4), taking just one point from the 15 on offer and this will be their second away trip of the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/exeter-city\/907\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EXETER<\/a> complete the fourfold as they host Fleetwood. The hosts have had the hardest start of any side in the fourth tier based on the points per game average of their opponents, but sit in the top 10 with four wins. They are the divisions lowest scorers with eight goals but that can be offset with their impressive defensive record epitomised by the fact their keeper has kept more clean sheets (7) then he has conceded goals (6).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/fleetwood-town\/26\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fleetwood<\/a> have only won one of seven while only two sides have conceded more goals and xGA (21.1) than them this campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both firms include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/news\/this-weeks-acca-adds-2up-settlement-as-betfair-and-paddy-power-join-sky-bet-as-exclusive-betting-partners\/234094\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2UP settlement terms<\/a> meaning if a team goes two goals ahead at any point in their match, that leg will be considered a winner.<\/p>\n<p>Since the beginning of last season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/stevenage\/890\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">STEVENAGE<\/a> have the fourth best home record in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/league-tables\/sky-bet-league-one\/16\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">League One<\/a> with 18 wins and only five defeats across their last 33 league games on their own patch. They\u2019ll be brimming with confidence after beating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/235326\/stevenage-vs-plymouth-argyle\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Plymouth 3-0<\/a> in midweek and are the beneficiaries of a double home week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, this will be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/mk-dons\/47\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MK Dons<\/a>&#8216; second away trip in five days. Paul Warne\u2019s side were beaten at struggling Blackpool on Tuesday meaning they have only won once in the league this season. No side in England\u2019s top four divisions has won fewer games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Odds correct at 15:00 BST (22\/10\/26)<\/p>\n<p>More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n<p>We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
