APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Bristol Rovers win or draw

Going on the Double Chance market is a great way to get a much better shot at winning a bet. And our betting tip of taking Bristol Rovers or draw in the Double Chance market is about as close to a safe bet as there is.

Based on their impressive home form this season, it's hard to see Bristol Rovers not picking up at least a point in their own stadium. They only need to avoid defeat to Colchester United to win the Double Chance bet, and we think they are more than up to the task.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
