A busy slate of EFL fixtures awaits on Tuesday night as the second half of the season begins to really heat up.
After landing a 9/1 winner on Saturday, our in-form tipster Adam Drury is back with his four fancies across this evening’s action.
This acca pays a best price of 26/1 with Unibet.
This is a huge price for one of the Championship's best goalscorers to continue his fine record in front of goal.
Sargent has scored in six of his seven home league games this season, including on Saturday when we successfully put him up to net against Derby.
The American international ranks second in the league for goals per game this term, so there's no way he should be this big to bag another at home to Preston.
North End have improved under Paul Heckingbottom but still have only managed one clean sheet in their last seven league matches.
Birmingham have conceded only two goals in their last nine home league matches, winning eight of those games – seven of which were accompanied by a clean sheet.
That remarkable strike rate makes a bet at close to evens for a repeat against relegation-threatened Cambridge an enticing one.
The league leaders have only shipped 19 times in 27 matches on what is proving a cruise back towards the Championship, with an xG against figure of 19.9 suggesting it is a sustainable level, too.
Meanwhile, their visitors have lost six of their last nine away games in League One, drawing the other three, and have only won once in the league on the road all season.
The trade-off for taking the bigger Sargent price with Unibet is a slightly shorter price on Charlton to see off Peterborough, though it is still worth including.
The Addicks have won four of their last five home league games and five of their last six at Valley Parade, including victories against relegation-threatened Shrewsbury and Bristol Rovers.
Peterborough, surprisingly, are in a similar position to those sides, losing nine of their last 10 away matches to slip to 20th in the division.
They have scored more than once in only one of their last 10 league matches and visit a stadium where Charlton have shipped just 10 goals in 15 League One games.
We have enjoyed success backing against an abject Tranmere side in their last two matches and they are giving us no reason not to try and complete the hat-trick here.
Rovers have lost six of their last eight outings and in home games have only taken points against teams in the bottom eight since October 1.
Bradford, Grimsby, AFC Wimbledon and Colchester have all won at Prenton Park in that period, so Fleetwood should fancy their chances.
Pete Wild's side have won four of their last six games and the play-off positions are still within their grasp for the Cod Army as a result.
