3 Championship Best Bets Oct. 4

This midweek, we have Championship best bets. As Sunday marked the end of one game week, Tuesday marks the start of another. Of course, this is the crazy world of the English Championship. My three best bets all involve teams vying for a playoff spot.

Preview: Bristol City vs. Coventry

Championship, England, Tuesday, October 4th, 19:45 (UK)

After going eight games unbeaten in all competitions, Bristol City’s fortunes have taken a turn for the worse. The Robins have dropped to 12th in the table after three consecutive league defeats. The 2-1 defeat to QPR at Ashton Gate on Saturday maintained their unbeaten record in the Championship this season.

According to Nigel Pearson, his team “contributed heavily to the defeat.” The playoffs are now four points away. Pearson understands that if he wants to bridge that gap, he must improve a defense that currently has only one more porous defense in the second tier.

Coventry City won their first game of the season over the weekend. Middlesbrough’s unbeaten run was extended to three games thanks to Viktor Gyökeres’ first-half winner.

Despite remaining rooted at the table’s foot, that position remains slightly false. The Sky Blues lead the rest of the division by three games. This was only their second outing at home. They will be grateful for more games at the Coventry Building Society Arena, as Mark Robins’ team has failed to win any of their last eight road trips. This term has already been met by these two parties. Bristol City won the Carabao Cup 4-1 back in August.

Best Bet: Bristol City vs. Coventry

With Coventry struggling away from home, I expect Bristol City to regain their winning ways at home. Nahki Wells is one player who has maintained his excellent form despite his team’s recent wobbles. In the last five games, the Bermudan international has scored four goals. Five goals were scored in those games. He is only one goal behind Oscar Estupinan as the league’s leading scorer, and I expect him to threaten that position by adding to his total here.

6/10 stakes

Preview: Luton Town vs. Huddersfield Town

Championship, England, Tuesday, October 4th, 19:45 (UK)

Last season, these two teams met in a play-off semi-final. Their fortunes have taken very different paths since then. Huddersfield defeated Luton Town 1-0 in mid-May to advance to the Championship play-off final. Of course, the Terriers were defeated in the final by Nottingham Forest. With it, manager Carlos Corberán and key players Lewis O’Brien and Harry Toffolo left.

Danny Schofield, Corberán’s replacement, has already left, with Mark Fotheringham starting his first game this weekend. With a 3-1 defeat at Reading, hopes of an immediate “new manager bounce” were dashed. It should be clear to him now that the task ahead is to improve his new club’s current relegation position.

Luton Town, on the other hand, will be looking for their third consecutive league victory. The Hatters’ 2-0 win over Hull City on Friday evening was their fourth in their last seven games. Although a fortunate own goal got them started, Henri Lansbury’s thunderous strike in off the post was enough to win any game.

Best Bet: Luton Town vs. Huddersfield

Despite their recent success, Nathan Jones’ team has only won one of their six home games this season. That was in their last game at Kenilworth Road, when they defeated Blackburn 2-0. They couldn’t have chosen a better opponent to keep that record improving.

Huddersfield have lost all four league away games this season. All of those games saw at least two goals conceded. Contributing to a campaign record of only one clean sheet. I don’t think Fotheringham has had enough time to turn things around to prevent the home team from picking up another three points here.

Luton Town will win.

7/10 stakes

Preview: Sunderland vs. Blackpool

Championship, England, Tuesday, October 4th, 19:45 (UK)

Sunderland became the sixth team this season to play a goalless draw with Preston on Saturday. Tony Mowbray dismissed it as “not being a problem,” and the league table backs him up. The Black Cats are just outside the playoffs with 16 points from their first 11 games. Indeed a testament to Alex Neil’s smooth transition following the departure of the Scots at the end of August. Also gone are talismanic top scorer Ross Stewart and fellow striker Ellis Simms.

Blackpool’s weekend defeat to Norwich was their third in a row. As a result, the Seasiders are only one point above the drop zone. Michael Appleton’s men stayed in the game until the final whistle thanks to a 1-0 scoreline. On the other hand, the Canaries hit the crossbar twice and had 22 shots on Chris Maxwell’s goal. The goalkeeper had to make seven saves to keep the visitors at bay.

Best Bet: Sunderland vs. Blackpool

The temptation to play the Sunderland win was strong. Even though they have the ability to win all three points, I prefer a different strategy to win over the Black Cats. The Tangerines’ 3-3 draw at Burnley and victory at QPR indicate that they can be competitive away from home. Instead, I’m betting on the home team to score more than 1.5 goals.

Mowbray pointed out after the Preston draw that his team had scored five goals in the previous two games. I also witnessed the frequency with which Blackpool’s defense was breached over the weekend and several unforced errors. They’ve also conceded five goals in their last two away games, against Millwall and Rotherham. I am confident that this energetic Sunderland attack will cause at least as many problems for the visitors.

Sunderland over 1.5 goals is my pick (OKBET BET)
