Big Saturday Multiple: Bees sting mightier than Lions roar

Mark Warburton's side will be keen to make the most of home advantage here

Jonno Turner picks three from the bottom three English divisions to make up a Big Saturday Multiple work backing...

Bet 1: Brentford (HOME) @ 1.558/15

We're eyeing action in the capital to kick start this three team multiple, as Brentford line up on their own patch against Millwall.

The hosts head into this clash sitting sixth in the table, and on the verge of falling out of the play-off picture unless they can manage three points.

Mark Warburton's side have found themselves in some up and down form of late, winning, drawing and losing in their last three outings - but their form in front of their own fans has remained impressive, with three wins from four at Griffin Park.

Perhaps the most encouraging aspect of that run for Bees fans is the amount of goals they have plundered. Two four goal hauls and a 3-1 defeat of automatic promotion chasing Bournemouth suggests that the home side have more than enough final third quality to trouble their guests.

Visitors Millwall, meanwhile, make this trip across London sitting dangerously in 23rd position, some eight points off safety with just eight games to go.

Neil Harris' side desperately need to engineer a turnaround, and quick, if they are to climb out of the dropzone, but eight outings without victory suggests that correcting the dire situation down at the New Den won't be a quick fix.

In fact, the Lions have failed to score in five of their last eight - a run which leaves them looking not only shaky at the back, but shotshy up top.

And their record on the road isn't the best either, with seven defeats from nine pointing to an onset of travel sickness in the away camp.

The last time these two sides met, Brentford ran out 3-2 winners - and that makes four unbeaten against the Lions for the Bees.

Bet 2: Rochdale (HOME) @ 2.05n/a

Dropping a division now, as Rochdale, who sit in 10th place, look to pile the pressure on the teams above them with a solid performance against Scunthorpe United.

The home side find themselves just four points off the top six heading into this clash, and three wins from four in front of their own fans will give them huge confidence and momentum.

Seven goals notched in that period suggests that Keith Hill's side have more than enough firepower to be a threat, particularly on home turf, and just three shipped at the other end indicates that Dale are well-balanced and difficult to penetrate.

Scunthorpe make the trip to the north west having struggled to six outings without victory, and that leaves them languishing just three points off the relegation places.

On the road, it's four without a win for the Iron, and, having not even managed a goal in two of their last three away from Glanford Park, it's fair to say that they've been looking a little light in the final third.

The visitors have enjoyed supremacy over Rochdale in recent years though. Four straight wins suggests that they've dominated the Spotland side - but I reckon that could change this afternoon.

Bet 3: Shrewsbury Town (HOME) @ 1.618/13

And finally, we're turning our attentions to the bottom tier, where second placed Shrewsbury Town have a chance to close the five point gap between themselves and league leaders Burton Albion.

The Shrews are full of momentum following a 4-1 thrashing of Morecambe last time out, and boss Micky Mellon will be desperate for his side to build on that win with a further three points in front of their own fans here.

And the hosts certainly have an impressive record at the Greenhaus Meadow. Just a single loss in 11 outings on home turf indicates that they're more than capable of controlling this encounter and coming away with maximum rewards.

But it's the seven clean sheets in 11 on their patch which will most please the home gaffer, and if his side can continue that excellent defensive form then they surely will be shoe-ins for promotion.

Away side Oxford United make this trip perched just half a dozen points from danger, and a 2-0 home loss to bottom club Hartlepool United last week was a season low point for the U's.

In fact, goals have been hard to come by for Michael Appleton's side - and they've not marked the scoreboard for three of their last five encounters.

Additionally, the visitors have only won one of their last four away from the Kassam Stadium - failing to notch in the other three - and that leaves them on the backfoot as they make this trip to Shropshire.

Shrewsbury managed a comfortable win in the last meeting between these two sides, and that makes just one loss to Oxford in the last two campaigns.
