William Hill cannot separate Stevenage and Torquay as they go head to head for a spot in League One, with both sides offered at 7/4 for victory at Old Trafford. The draw is 2/1. Torquay have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last nine games and Hills are offering 8/5 that they do so during Saturday’s game. Torquay’s Chris Zebroski is the 6/1 favourite to score first, while Stevenage’s Craig Reid and Byron Harrison are both 13/2 to do likewise. Stevenage are 4/5 to lift the trophy, while Torquay are 10/11.

“Just one point separated these two sides at the end of this season and the betting suggests that this game will be nip and tuck all the way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Huddersfield are the slight 6/4 favourites to defeat 19/10 Peterborough on Sunday, while Swansea just shade the betting for Monday’s Championship match at 17/10 against 9/5 Reading.

Hills are 11/5 that the Stevenage vs Torquay game is the highest scoring game of the three Play-Off matches. Hills offer 13/8 that one of the three games goes to penalties and 3/1 that all three sides promoted via the Play-Offs avoid relegation next season.
