Blackburn vs Cardiff – both teams to score
22/25 at Fitzdares
Blackburn have failed to score in only one of their last five Championship fixtures at Ewood Park and Rovers are creative enough to find a route through a Cardiff defence that has kept only one clean sheet in 18 way matches in the division. The Bluebirds, who are still among the favourites for relegation on Championship betting sites, have shown spirit on the road however, and ten of their last 11 away games produced goals at both ends. Expect that pattern to continue here.
Coventry vs Sunderland – both teams to score
20/27 at Fitzdares
Midweek blank at Derby aside, Coventry have been scoring plenty of goals of late, netting ten times in four outings before their loss-to-nil at County on Tuesday evening. With home advantage to harness, City can trouble playoff rivals Sunderland on Saturday. BTTS has landed in four of Coventry’s last five league games and in seven of Sunderland’s last nine skirmishes in the Championship, while the teams also drew 2-2 in their last encounter in November. More excitement is anticipated here.
Luton vs Middlesbrough – both teams to score
7/10 at Fitzdares
Luton managed to win two of their last three Championship fixtures, solidifying their survival hopes in the process and the Hatters should have enough confidence to go toe-to-toe with Middlesbrough at Kenilworth Road. Boro rarely keep clean sheets on their travels and 12 of their last 14 away fixtures in the division have featured action at both ends as a consequence. Bettors are advised to take a plunge in the same market when Michael Carrick’s troops head to Luton.
Oxford vs Watford – both teams to score
4/7 at Fitzdares
Oxford have kept only six clean sheets in 18 home games in the Championship this term and their defence looks ill-equipped to keep out a Watford side that has scored at least once in 90% of their last ten away matches. The Hornets have defensive issues of their own however, and as a result, BTTS bettors would have been rewarded in eight of the club’s last 12 away tussles in the second tier. Prices for a similar outcome on the best betting apps are generous here and punters can back BTTS again with confidence here.
