With the international break taking center stage this weekend, we still have a host of footballing action from across Europe. So, for those of you looking to stick on a Saturday flutter, we have found a handful of helpful tips that are worth keeping an eye out for.
Saturday November 13th
BST 15:00 Exeter City vs Oldham
Starting with Saturday s hosts, putting on a stunning first-half flurry earlier in the week as they cruised their way to an action-packed EFL Trophy victory, the mood in Exeter s camp should be at a real high. Eventually claiming a remarkable 5-3 win against Bristol Rovers on home soil, the Grecians are in the midst of a stellar purple patch. Opening this weekend s fixtures sat just a single point adrift of finding a route into the automatic spots, Matt Taylor s side have gained a host of plaudits from across League Two this season. Smelling a golden chance at St James Park on Saturday afternoon, Exeter are remarkably unbeaten in each of their last 14 straight contests across all formats, a run that stems all the way back to the middle of August. Gaining a reputation for their free-scoring displays in the final third, this weekend s hosts also have one attacking talisman enjoying his own stellar run. With Matt Jay already racking up nine League Two goals since opening the 2021/22 campaign, a struggling Oldham should face another stern test on their travels. Last seen in midweek getting hit with a 3-2 defeat away at Tranmere on EFL Trophy duties, the Latics have managed to muster just a single win from any of their last nine contests across all formats. Likewise, in the midst of a five-match winless run, we re backing a home victory at St James Park here.
Tip: Exeter City win over 1.5 goals @ 11/10
15:00 Altrincham vs Boreham Wood
While Boreham Wood might have had to settle for a sluggish bottom-half finish last season, few across the National League would have expected what has been a stunning run of form. Putting on another professional and extending on their FA Cup adventure last weekend as they secured a 2-0 win against Eastleigh, Head Coach Luke Garrard has been filled with praise for his side s eye-catching resurge. Skyrocketing their way to the top of the table and opening Saturday s fixtures holding a one-point buffer, the Whites will be desperate to lay down another marker on their travels here. Last seen on fifth-tier duties claiming a deserved 1-0 victory against a struggling Southend, Boreham Wood have won six of their last seven matchups across all formats, a run that stems back to October 2nd. In fact, with just a single defeat to their name since the middle of September, Saturday s guests have also continued to impress with their success at the back. Including keeping three clean sheets on the spin, it should be noted that Garrard s side have kept a clean sheet in each of their previous six victories. Picking up a 3-2 win the last time they faced off against this weekend s hosts, Altrincham could face another stern test here. Somewhat in National League limbo after coming crashing back down to earth, the Robins have collected just a single point from any of their last four straight fifth-tier outings.
Tip: Boreham Wood win @ 7/5
15:00 Real Valladolid vs Fuenlabrada
Starting with Saturday s hosts, after losing their La Liga status last season, there is no doubt that Real Valladolid have their sights set on securing an immediate top-flight return. Managing to prove that their nightmare display against Amorebieta from earlier in the month was just a minor blip, Head Coach Pacheta saw his side lay down a marker last weekend. Claiming a deserved 3-1 win against Mirandes on home soil, Albivioletas are hoping to only widen their buffer in the play-off spots. Enjoying what has been a largely impressive run of form, Valladolid have collected nine points from their last four Segunda contests, a run highlighted by a a 2-0 win against Eibar on October 31st. In fact, it should also be noted that Saturday s hosts have lost just one of their previous nine second-tier contests, a run that stems back to the middle of September. Landing back-to-back victories at the José Zorrilla, a downbeat Fuenlabrada could face another stern test this weekend. Firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, José Luis Oltra s men are currently in the midst of a six-match winless run. Likewise, the Blues have managed to muster just a single point from any of their previous four Segunda fixtures. Last seen on their travels getting hit with back-to-back defeats at Las Palmas and Ibiza, we re backing a home victory here.
