    With the season drawing to a climax, the EFL has a number of crucial games on Tuesday and here we pick out a solid BTTS treble.

    There is a full fixture list in the EFL mid-week and on Tuesday, we expect the games at Blackpool, Lincoln and Newport to be goal-filled.

    Blackpool vs West Brom (17/20)

    Blackpool are fighting for their lives at the foot of the Championship and gave their survival hopes a huge shot in the arm by beating doomed Wigan last time out.
    They managed a rare clean sheet against the Latics and scored for the seventh straight game to grab a 1-0 win. But it is conceding goals that has been a problem for the hosts, shipping in 13 in their last five games.
    West Brom arrive with nothing much to play for but to impress boss Carlos Corberan. They will be expected to mount a serious promotion challenge next season.
    The Baggies have been inconsistent of late, winning 2-1 at Stoke at the weekend, but they do tend to score. West Brom have scored in six of their last seven games and their last three have seen both teams score.

    They look a good bet to net again at Bloomfield Road, but the hosts have more to lose and they can also find the target so backing the 17/20 BTTS looks good.

    Lincoln City vs Barnsley (9/10)

    Barnsley's last nine games have seen 35 goals. They are one of the division's form teams and are chasing an automatic promotion place.
    They won 5-1 at Forest Green on Saturday and have certainly not struggled for goals. However, they do have a tendency to give chances up at the other end and five of their last six have seen both teams score.

    Lincoln have nothing to play for, but three straight wins suggests they are far from on the beach already. An impressive away win at Plymouth on Easter Monday shows they can score against the division's best and expect them to get on the scoresheet again at home.

    Newport Town vs Mansfield (4/5)

    Newport are putting together a decent end-of-season run and their set-pieces cause everyone problems at Rodney Parade.

    They won 2-0 at the weekend against a Hartlepool side that have found themselves in decent form. Newport have scored in seven of their last nine games and look like being a side to follow next season. Mansfield's season is still not over and they are gunning for a play-off berth. They are hard to beat, losing just once in 13 games, but it's their scoring record we like.

    Nigel Clough's men have netted in all but one of those games and their last four matches have seen both teams score.

    Suggested Acca: Blackpool vs West Brom, Lincoln City vs Barnsley, Newport Town vs Mansfield BTTS (£10 pays £63.27)
