The English Championship has been typically competitive right across the division this season, though we’ve picked out a quartet of teams from Saturday’s fixture programme that are worth backing in the match result market. Below, we’ve pieced together a four-part accumulator for Championship betting fans that can be backed at a price of around 6/1 with Fitzdares.
Bristol City vs Blackburn – Bristol City to win
51/50 at Fitzdares
Visiting Blackburn are in the grip of an injury crisis at present and Rovers could be without up to eight players for their tricky test at Bristol City.
The Robins have been a force to be reckoned with at Ashton Gate in recent weeks, earning 13 of the last 15 points on offer at that venue in the Championship.
Injury-hit Blackburn have failed to win seven of their last eight matches in the division meanwhile, and with their personnel issues still considerable, they could be worth opposing again here.
Coventry vs Watford – Coventry to win
19/25 at Fitzdares
The Watford board gave manager Tom Cleverley the dreaded vote of confidence in midweek, though the under fire boss is still listed as one of the favourites for the sack on the best football betting sites in the UK and he could feel the squeeze again on Saturday.
Coventry have won three games on the spin in league and cup, and the Sky Blues should have enough confidence to extend that run against a Watford side that has already lost eight out of 14 away games in the Championship this season.
Sunderland vs Plymouth – Sunderland to win
1/4 at Fitzdares
Sunderland are odds-on favourites on the best betting apps to ease past bottom-club Plymouth on Saturday and the promotion-chasing Black Cats should have too much class for their struggling visitors at the Stadium of Light.
Argyle were smashed 5-0 by highflying Burnley in midweek, so it’s logical to expect more disappointment when they visit a Sunderland side that has yet to lose at home in the Championship this term. Expect one-way traffic in the north east.
WBA vs Portsmouth – WBA to win
4/6 at Fitzdares
Relegation candidates Portsmouth were buoyed by successive home wins last week, however, their form on the road is still abject and only two clubs (Luton & Plymouth) have collected fewer away points this season than Pompey.
Indeed, Portsmouth have lost each of their last five away assignments in the Championship, conceding 13 goals along the way and more misery awaits the poor travellers on Saturday.
WBA have won three of their last four matches at the Hawthorns and they should be command in again on home soil on Saturday.
