English Championship

QPR v Nottingham Forest I am betting QPR to beat Notts Forest in London tonight, they were the victims of an upset last weekend when losing to Peterborough United 2-1, QPR are 7th in the league just one place outside the playoff positions and will be very keen not to fall any further from the playoffs. They face a Forest side who have greatly improved to since manager Steve Cooper came in but once or twice have been fortunate to get wins, that luck ran out last weekend with the visit of Fulham who beat them 4-0 and they could…

West Brom v Birmingham City I am betting Birmingham City today away at local rivals West Brom, I think they have been unfortunate of late in some of their games and some of their recent defeats were not as bad as the score lines suggested. They were beaten 2-0 QPR but they had some big chances in that game and on another day could easily have taken something from the game and recorded a bigger xG than QPR that day, whilst their last match was a 3-0 defeat by Forest but they had 8 attempts on target to Forest's 7…

Bournemouth vs Sheffield Utd I am betting Bournemouth here -0.25 in a match between 2 teams who dropped points midweek, the difference being Bournemouth should have won their game at Peterbourgh while Sheffield Utd probably got what they deserved at Middlesborugh. Bournemouth team is in the top 3 if not the top 2 in the championship with the midfield for me being is one of the best of not the best in the league. They have options off the bench now as well and can even rotate their squad without weakening their team which is simething that most teams can't…

Fulham vs Swansea City I am betting Swansea City +1.5 here tonight, Fulham is without doubt the best team in this division but I would question if they are overrated by the market here against a Swansea who are improving. Fulham will have Harrison Reed back in their starting line-up and he will be a boost for sure but Swansea is a solid side and despite a first half performance v Luton they have looked excellent of late. Fulham have dropped points of late namely against Reading, Blackpool and Bristol City and for me Swansea +1.5 is a big line…

Preston North End vs Stoke City I am betting Preston here tonight when they host Stoke, Preston have been excellent of late and are undefeated since losing to Huddersfield on August 17th facing some tough games away to Sheffield United and at home to West Brom. Preston face a Stoke side who are without Joe Allen again for tonight and who have dropped points or put in far from impressive performances against some of the poorer sides in the division of late. I can't have them away from home as joint favourites for this match and fancy Preston draw no…

Bournemouth vs Luton Town I am betting high flying Bournemouth here today, they are top of the league in the championship and have one of the best midfields in the country and i fancy them to go back up this season, they face a Luton Town team who let a 3-0 lead slip at home last week and currently have a huge injury list to contend with too, out are Bradley, Hylton, Bell, Muskwe, Onyedinma and Campbell, it is very diffcult for a team like Luton to function with this many missing and I fancy the cherries who have close…

West Bromwich Albion v Queen's Park Rangers I am betting QPR here +0.75 against West Brom, I rate QPR quite highly and I was impressed with their midweek win over Everton in the league cup, they were the better side in that match and should be able to cause West Brom trouble in this game, West Brom will be without Dara O'Shea and Matt Clarke while Bryan is a doubt, QPR should have key midfielder Johansen back in the starting line up. QPR have some really exciting talents with Chair and Willock and they have solid defenders such as De…

Huddersfield Town vs Nottingham Forest I am going to give Forest a go here they are currently +0.5 at 1.82, they sacked their manager Chris Hughton during the week after a dreadful start to the season but their team is nowhere near that bad, Huddersfield on the face of it had a super win away to Blackpool but Blackpool had their fair share of chances and were unlucky to lose 3-0, it was never a 3-0 game and on another night Blackpool had chance to take the lead. Huddersfield for sure have improved this season but Forest is too big…

Birmingham City v Fulham I am betting Fulham tonight away at the Birmingham blues, Fulham were poor at the weekend but they missed Harry Wilson and Fabio Caralho, they should have at least one of those players back tonight for this match which should offer the cottagers some inventive play that was missing v Blackpool. Fulham are the class act in this division and should be backed -0.25. Fulham -0.25 min odds 1.91 Coventry City v Cardiff City I am betting Cardiff City +0.25 here, there is very little between the teams but Cardiff for me is slightly the better…

Reading vs Peterborough Utd I am betting Reading here today -0.25 and the over 2.5 goals as well, Reading have talent in their team going forward but are suspect at the back which they showed only on Saturday when they dropped a 3-1 lead to QPR in a 3-3 draw. Reading in players like Swift and Ejaria are players who potentially could compete at a higher level so far this division they have some real quality. It must be said both sides have a number of players out through injury but even though Reading have more out i think they…
