Spread betting preview

Wycombe Wanderers beat Burton Albion 2-0 last Saturday, which may not seem like an odd result. Wycombe are top of Sky Bet League One and Burton are down in 16th spot, so a routine home win is a logical outcome.

Only the betting told a different story with highly-rated Albion starting the match as favourites, and we can use that hint as to what the market thinks of Burton's potential to consider a buy of their points at 65.5 with Sporting Index.

With one victory in ten games now could be the perfect time to back the Brewers to start getting back to the kind of results they produced earlier in the campaign which marked them out as potential playoff contenders.

Rochdale and Tranmere are Burton's next two matches - both at home - and Nigel Clough has some quality at his disposal in midfield with Stephen Quinn and Scott Fraser.

No mid-season trades stand out in the Premier League, while our pre-season advice to buy Preston points is ticking along nicely in the Championship.

There is a huge cloud hanging over League Two favourites Swindon as their loanee scoring sensations Jerry Yates and Eoin Doyle are at risk of departing in January.
