Football League bets to follow this weekend, plus our tipping contest

Welcome to our weekly Friday tipping round-up. Most of you know the drill by now, but for those that don't, every week I will post my betting suggestions for the weekend, as well as our predictions contest. Brentford to beat MK Dons at 11-8 OK, so we've backed against the Dons on the road before this season , but nothing's changed: since that preview, they lost 3-2 at Bournemouth and 4-2 at 21st-placed Tranmere. Granted, they've won each of their home games since (against bottom-third pair Exeter and Yeovil), but Saturday's trip to the rapidly-improving Bees represents another chance to get up against them. After the most sluggish of starts, Brentford are four games unbeaten (winning 3-0 at Tranmere, 2-1 at home to Peterborough and 4-2 at Exeter, while drawing last week at home to Bournemouth), enough to earn boss Andy Scott the manager of the month award. "We are starting to reap the benefit from the fitness work we did in pre-season is starting to and the players are still pretty fresh," said Scott , who is still waiting on the fitness of Gary Alexander for the Dons' visit. Their boss Karl Robinson has more pressing worries, having only been able to field four subs in his last two games. Derby to beat Leicester at 3-1 Having opposed the Rams last week, they responded with mightily impressive wins over Portsmouth and Ipswich in the space of four days. On Saturday they visit the Walkers Stadium at an even longer price to the one at which they won away at Portman Road. Only five points separate the Foxes and Ipswich, but in the tight confines of the Championship, that represents 10 positions. Put simply, Leicester aren't as good as Ipswich, even with just the one defeat in seven, and the Rams (one defeat in 10, five wins in six): 3-1 is too big. Should Leicester drift any shorter towards Evens, you may want to just lay them. NB: prices with Betfair and correct at the time of publication Tipping contest As you'll note from the scoring, late starters have been awarded one point for every week they have missed.
