Tuesday football betting tips

Derby to beat Charlton @ 8/5

While Charlton picked up a 1-0 home win over Sheffield United on Saturday, the Addicks were playing against nine men for the entire second half and their inability to score more than one shows the lack of cutting edge in this team.

Nathan Jones’s side now host Derby, who picked up a 1-0 victory at Preston at the weekend to make it 21 away points in the Championship from 13 matches.

Only leaders Coventry and second-placed Middlesbrough have amassed more points on their travels than the Rams, who also claimed the spoils in their last visit to the Valley.

Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund – Dortmund to win, Julian Brandt anytime goalscorer & over 2.5 goals @ 29/4

Tottenham are in the middle of a crisis and things look set to get worse when they host Borussia Dortmund in the League Phase of the Champions League.

Spurs conceded late on Saturday to lose 2-1 at home to relegation-threatened West Ham, the same day BVB extended their unbeaten run to seven games with a 3-2 victory over St. Pauli.

With just one away defeat in their last eight, Dortmund can clinch all three points in north London to boost their top-eight hopes.

Julian Brandt has been integral to Dortmund’s success, scoring nine goals in all competitions of which five have come in his last five, and he can find the back of the net again.

There should be plenty of goals in this contest, with over 2.5 landing in four of Spurs’ last five home fixtures and in Dortmund’s last three assignments.

Villarreal to beat Ajax, Coventry to beat Millwall & Swansea to beat Blackburn @ 22/5

Villarreal and Ajax are both unable to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League but the Yellow Submarine can at least show some pride by beating their Dutch visitors.

The Spanish outfit have won four of their last six at home and should have enough quality to beat Ajax, who have lost at Marseille and Chelsea in the League Phase.

Championship leaders Coventry ended a run of four games without a win when beating Leicester 2-1 at home on Saturday and the Sky Blues can register another win in front of their own fans when facing Millwall.

Frank Lampard’s troops boast the best home record in the division, collecting 32 points, and they can overcome the Lions, who have won just one of their last five away assignments in all competitions.

Swansea have picked up 13 points from the last 15 on offer at home and they should have too much for struggling Blackburn, who were thumped 3-0 at Ipswich on Saturday to make it six matches without a victory.
