We’re here to preview the Bet of the Day for this weekend’s sporting action, where we’re backing a treble from the Championship, League One, and League Two.
Bet of the Day – Saturday 3rd May
Bet of the Day – Bristol City, Reading & Bradford City to win @ 3.31/1
Selection One: Bristol City vs Preston North End – Bristol City to win
Bristol City will know that their play-off chances are in their own hands heading into their final match of the 2024/25 league campaign. The Robins can confirm their spot in the top-six without worrying about results around them if they’re to beat Preston, in what should be a routine win for the home side.
Bristol City have been impressive on home soil this season, and they couldn’t ask for a much better time to take on Preston, who could be relegated on Saturday if they’re to lose and other results don’t go their way. Bristol City have it all to play for, and with this in mind, we’re backing the Robins to secure three points.
Selection Two: Reading vs Barnsley – Reading to win
Up next, we’re heading to League One, as we’re backing Reading to win against Barnsley, in what is a must-win match for the Berkshire-based side. Reading are level on points with sixth-placed Leyton Orient heading into the final game of the season, and will need to better Orient’s result if they’re to force themselves into the play-off positions.
Reading should be more than good enough to pick up a win against Barnsley on the final day, especially when the Tykes don’t have anything to play for at this stage of the season. Reading are strong at home as well, and with a sold-out crowd backing them on Saturday, they should run out comfortable winners.
Selection Three: Bradford City vs Fleetwood Town – Bradford City to win
Bradford City can clinch promotion into League One with a win over Fleetwood Town, and the Bantams should be achieving that relatively comfortably if they’re anywhere near their best.
They’ve got the best home record in the whole of League Two, and have only been beaten twice at Valley Parade this term. They’re up against a Fleetwood Town side that have been inconsistent for much of the 2024/25 campaign, and given they’ve got nothing to play for in this one, Bradford should cruise through.

What is a Bet of the Day?
The Bet of the Day is our recommended selection and is often a single, double, treble or accumulator. We research a wide selection of leagues and statistics to create our choice and weigh this up with the best odds to bring you our top picks. These may not always come through so be sure to gamble responsibly and only bet with what you can afford to lose.
How do we go about selecting our Bet of the Day tips?
We consider several things when selecting our bet of the day tips.
Statistics, current form, head-to-head record, league position are just a few of the points we look at before making our selection.
What do we look for in our bet of the day tips?
The main thing we’re looking for when making our bet of the day tips is the value for money.
Any customer can make random selections based on relatively short odds, but we try and find odds that should be shorter odds than what’s being offered by a bookmaker when we take into consideration various statistics and form.
What price do we try to make our bet of the day tips?
We tend to look for odds in and around evens as a minimum for our bet of the day, as that means that punters will be at least able to there or thereabouts be able to double their money. However, we’re also keen to find trebles and accumulators with minimum odds of 3/1.
However, it’s important to remember that you should only bet what you can afford to lose, as no selections are ever certain to win.
