It was time to celebrate a week ago as we hit a 21/1 winner in our Saturday Accumulator column, with Brighton, Preston, Ipswich and Swindon all recording victories.

We go five-games deep this week for a 24/1 price as of the time of writing (10:00 AM on Friday), as we look for some repeated success…

Three games from the Championship and two from League 1 for our Saturday Accumulator column this week and I’m rolling with five home wins.

We start in the second-tier of English football at Portman Road, where the home team have become a bit of a fixture in these articles. The Tractor Boys have won six of their seven games so far this campaign, with only that blip at home to a dangerous Leeds side preventing them from a perfect record.

They return home on the back of two solid 0-1 wins on the road, both albeit at teams woefully out of form but they went away and got the job done. That cannot be understated.

It is mid-table Blackburn Rovers this weekend and they are the epitome of a middle-of-the-pack team so far this season. In three away trips, they somehow managed to earn a point at Rotherham, beat Watford, before getting a bit of a doing-over down at Home Park, where Plymouth beat them 3-0.

I like Kieran McKenna’s side to keep things rolling in a low-scoring affair.

Not a huge shock to see Leicester City appear and they are also 7/10 to win as of the time of writing. They face a slightly trickier game on paper, with a sneaky good Bristol City side making their way up to the King Power.

The reason I’ve plumped for the Foxes in this column, however, is quite simple. I think they are the best side in the division and anytime they are at home, they should very much be considered for your Saturday accumulator.

They have already tasted defeat in front of their home fans in a 0-1 reversal to Hull but on that day, the home side mustered a grand total of 21 shots, yet failed to find the back of the net. Those types of performances don’t come around too often.

Give me the firepower that Leicester possess, certainly after good wins at Southampton and Norwich, to win their third game in eight days.

Speaking briefly of Southampton there, picking them to lose having gone down in three straight games isn’t a tough move to make but tipping them up to be beaten by a team who haven’t won a league game this season, might seem like a little bit of a taller task.

Middlesbrough have undoubtedly been one of the biggest disappointments in the Football League through the first seven weeks of the season. So close to winning promotion last term, this time around they can barely do anything positive, having only secured draws with Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday, to go along with five defeats.

Chuba Akpom has moved to Ajax, with Cameron Archer going back to Aston Villa on loan (before being sold to Sheffield United), the goals that were flowing a few months back are certainly not any more.

Michael Carrick, however, looks like a good young manager and if you are in desperate need of a win, how about a team rolling into town off back-to-back home defeats and who, last time out on the road, shipped five to Sunderland?

This is a case of Southampton’s confidence being shot to pieces and facing a long round trip, more than my belief that Middlesbrough are any good. This is a game they need to win and I think they find a way.

Down in League 1 and if you take out the bizarre 0-4 home loss to local rivals Wigan Athletic, Bolton Wanderers actually have a perfect home league record. Ian Evatt’s side started the year in terrific form, winning four straight in all competitions until that debacle, which has seen their form take a bit of a dip.

For me though, they are still very much one of the better sides in the division, with arguably the best strike-duo around in Dion Charles and Victor Adeboyejo.

Peterborough could easily claim to have the best striker, however, in Jonson Clarke-Harris but the 29-year-old has only found the back of the net three times so far this season. He had agreed to a big-money transfer back to Bristol Rovers but the paperwork was filed minutes late and the deal collapsed. The Posh will need him to find his scoring boots if they are to push towards the playoffs.

The reason I’ve gone for Bolton, however, on Saturday is that good home form coupled with Peterborough losing back-to-back games on the road, at Northampton and at Portsmouth.

Last up is my lot Pompey and trust me when I tell you this, picking them to win a game fills me with all sorts of dread. Yet here we are.

I have seen our last three games and in the two wins and even the draw at Derby, we played well. The first 45 minutes at Oakwell on Tuesday night was about as good of a performance as my team have shown in an awfully long time.

Lincoln though are certainly no pushovers and they haven’t gone away from a league game without at least a point, since a 3-0 defeat at Bolton on the opening day. Three wins and three draws have followed and they won’t make it easy for the top-of-the-table side to break them down.

My trust in Pompey is being slowly restored but with a very mean defence and having shown glimpses of real quality going forward in recent games, taking them to win at home isn’t just heart overriding brain.
