IF I get these wrong tonight I’m going to blame the dog. After a fairly decent run of late I got none out of five right on Sunday and got – you guessed it – dog’s abuse.

To be honest picking losers is my pet hate so I felt as bad as anyone who backed the line.

So here goes as I try to make amends for a Sunday shocker which followed five out of six right on the Saturday – when the dug had a day off.

I won’t make excuses but not many games stand out so if you think this is a banker line then think again.

After what happened in the Championship at the weekend when only one away side scored I’m leaving out the games at Barnsley, Blackpool and Millwall. Barnsley have netted eight in their last three at Oakwell but Birmingham have a decent record of clean sheets.

Blackpool v West Ham could go either way. They could cancel each other out in a dull affair or there could be goals galore and Millwall v Middlesbrough has the look of a low scorer.

So I’ll start off in League One with the meeting between Scunthorpe and Walsall. Scunthorpe were one side who helped me out at the weekend and six of their last seven have brought up both teams to score.

I’m sure they’ll hit the target against Walsall at home while the visitors beat Wycombe at the weekend and have netted on their last three visits to Oldham, Carlisle and Bury.

It was 2-2 when the sides met earlier this season and the last three recent meetings between the sides have produced both teams to score.

I considered Cheltenham v Wimbledon and Crewe v Accrington in League Two but settled on Gillingham v Rotherham.

Gillingham have brought up the bet in five of their last six, with these games producing 25 goals. Rotherham have netted 29 goals away from home – second only to leaders Southend – and they have scored in five of their last six.

They have lost their last three at Gillingham, 3-1 and 4-0 on their last two visits, but with the home side having conceded 12 goals in their last four you’ve got to imagine Rotherham will hit the target.

Next I’m looking at Kidderminster v Wrexham, two of the better teams in the Blue Square Premier. Kidderminster’s last seven have seen both teams score six times and the only time it didn’t happen was when they defeated lowly Alfreton 2-0.

Second-placed Wrexham are pushing Fleetwood all the way but in seven games have kept just one clean sheet. Kidderminster have won this fixture to nil in the last three seasons but Wrexham are a much improved side who should at least pick up a point.

Next head to Scotland where the Second and Third Divisions have been kind to us. Take Brechin v Stenhousemuir in the Second, a match between two sides in scoring form.

Both scored three in their respective matches at the weekend and five of Brechin’s last six have seen both score. Stenny’s last six have produced 24 goals and they netted three at Airdrie last Saturday.

Finally complete the fivefold with Clyde v Elgin in the Third Division. It was this or Queen’s Park v Berwick but I’ve gone for the former.

Elgin are flying after hitting nine past Peterhead and leaders Alloa in their last two matches but away from home their last three have finished 1-1, 2-5 and 0-6.

I’ve taken them beat Clyde on the strength of their last two results but the Bully Wee have scored five in their last two home games, despite winning just one in seven.

The last two meetings between the sides at Broadwood have finished 1-1 and 3-3.
