The battle for points and places at both ends of the Championship is starting to intensify and this weekend sees a number of key fixtures taking place in England’s always exciting second tier. Below, we’ve constructed a three-legged accumulator for Championship betting fans that comes equipped with a price of 8/1.
Plymouth vs QPR – QPR to win
127/100 at Fitzdares
QPR continued their match up the Championship standings with a 2-1 win over Luton in their last league assignment and Rangers have now won 60% of their last ten fixtures in the division. In contrast, Plymouth remain rooted to the foot of the table having not won a league game since November 5th. Argyle have shown a slight improvement since the sacking of underperforming manager Wayne Rooney, however, they have failed to win six of their last seven matches at Home Park and could come unstuck again here.
Sheffield United vs Norwich – Sheffield United to win
57/50 at Fitzdares
Sheffield United’s FA Cup dreams were ended when they lost at home to Cardiff in the competition’s third round last weekend, but free to fully concentrate on their automatic promotion charge, the Blades can respond with a win against Norwich. The Canaries have failed to win eight of their last nine away games in the Championship – a haul that’s kept them just outside the reckoning in the playoff markets on the best football betting sites in the UK. To make matters worse, they’ve just lost leading scorer Borja Sainz to a six-match suspension and without the prolific Spaniard, City could find the going tough at Bramall Lane.
West Brom vs Stoke – West Brom to win
10/13 at Fitzdares
West Brom are firmly in the mix to finish in the playoff positions this season and their excellent form at The Hawthorns has been powering their promotion push. The Baggies are unbeaten in eight outings on their own patch, winning each of the last three and they are odds-on favourites on betting apps to maintain their streak at Stoke’s expense on Saturday. The Potters have already lost seven out of 12 away games in the Championship this term and they lost 2-1 to Albion when the teams last met in August. Expect a similar outcome in this weekend’s return fixture,
