Football League Betting Tips: Tom Lee Has A 3/1 Tuesday And Wednesday Double

Tom Lee's Panel Tips For Tuesday And Wednesday

• Tom Lee's Panel Tip 1: Fleetwood To Beat Tranmere - 29/20 With William Hill
• Tom Lee's Panel Tip 2: Sunderland To Beat Luton - 7/10 With Betfred

Spread across two evenings there are questions to be answered all over the EFL ahead of the midweek games. Can Norwich welcome back bad-boy Borja with victory against Preston? 

Will Oxford gaffer Gary Rowett put the Rams in a relegation jam by costing his former employer Derby three crucial points? 

Who will come out on top in a vital south coast six-pointer between Portsmouth and Cardiff? Can Stockport snap up the chance to go third in League One in their trip to Bristol Rovers?

There are plenty more, but as ever the challenge for this column (current seasonal strike rate +5.34) is not only avoid the banana skins, but to unearth two diamonds from a total of 25 midweek fixtures divided between the Championship, League One and League Two. 

Tranmere Vs Fleetwood, Tuesday, 7.45pm

We kick off towards the foot of League Two on Tuesday night when struggling Tranmere, one of the worst teams to fall 2-0 down this season, host a Fleetwood side that thrive on away-day missions. 

Goal-shy Tranmere, a team with the worst goal difference in the entire fourth tier (-27), are up against mid-table Fleetwood, a team that have already produced fireworks on the road this season, winning 3-2 at Carlisle, 6-2 at leaders Walsall and 2-0 at Salford.

They also scored twice when securing a point at high-flyers Notts County.

Naturally, given their league position, Town are far from bomb proof, but Pete Wild's Cod Army have scored 39 overall in the current campaign, exactly the same goal output as teams way above them in the table such as fourth-placed Bradford and Wimbledon in fifth.

What's more, they have won four of their last six games, so go into this winnable fixture in really good nick.

Tranmere have lost five of their last six, scoring only four times in the process.

Crunch those facts and surely you'll agree that 29/20 with football betting sites for an away win, it's Fleetwood who are more than worth risking.

Sunderland Vs Luton, Wednesday, 7.45pm

Just like when I got lucky with the Notts County and Doncaster double in the final column of January, I'll bide my time and wait until Wednesday night for the second leg.

Last time out, a Luton team bereft of confidence escaped with a draw at Sheffield Wednesday, despite having just one shot on target and 32% possession.

It's unlikely that a Sunderland side who have automatic promotion to the Premier League in their sights will be as charitable though, and that's the daunting task which faces Matt Bloomfield's Hatters. 

The Luton board were bold in showing popular former boss Rob Edwards the door, recently bringing in Bloomfield to replace him, but two points from a possible 12 perhaps wasn't the uplift they had been hoping for.

Things are unlikely to improve at the Stadium Of Light. Sunderland not only welcome a team they have already beaten this season, but are now on a roll which sees them unbeaten in seven in the league and just seven points adrift of leaders Leeds.

Throw in Luton's away-day record - an abject five points achieved from a possible 45 - and it's easy to see why at 7/10 with betting apps, it simply has to be Sunderland.
