Championship Betting Previews and Tips – Saturday 15 January 2022

The majority of Championship teams have now passed the halfway stage in terms of games played. We have Bournemouth and Fulham occupying the two automatic promotion spots. Although Blackburn are hovering with intent and have to be considered worthy candidates.

Meanwhile, Derby will aim to continue the Great Escape mission and they clash with Sheffield United on Saturday.

Saturday 15 January

Cardiff City 12:30 Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have 46 points from 25 games played this season. We’re happy to back the Lancashire side to claim three points in South Wales. Tony Mowbray’s side recently embarked on a six-game winning run. Which saw Blackburn score fourteen goals and concede just one. They will clash with a Cardiff side who have lost eight of their eleven home matches this term and might struggle to live with their high-flying opponents.

Luton Town 12:30 AFC Bournemouth

Luton have been a tough team to predict this season and they have recently picked up after a slump in form. Nathan Jones’ side had claimed just one point from four matches. Before a 3-0 win at Blackpool and they were then able to hold Fulham to a 1-1 draw, with Harrogate put to the sword in the FA Cup. AFC Bournemouth are enjoying a three-match winning run but they had previously gone six games without a victory.

Derby County 15:00 Sheffield United

Derby’s home form has been really solid this season and there’s a sense that The Rams can still escape the drop this season. A victory here would have the supporters believing and it would be a huge boost to climb above Barnsley. The visitors have been faring well under Paul Heckingbottom. Although the Blades were comfortably beaten 3-0 away to a Wolves reserve team in the FA Cup.

Middlesbrough 15:00 Reading

Middlesbrough look like banker material when they clash with a Royals side who were beaten 7-0 at home to Fulham on Tuesday. Chris Wilder has improved things at the Riverside Stadium. This could be a victory that catapults Boro into the play-off places. There have been six wins and a draw in seven matches, with Andraz Sporar having scored in each of the past three games.

Peterborough United 15:00 Coventry City

Peterborough United need to start landing some victories if they are to escape the drop and we should expect Posh to adopt an attacking approach in this clash. Darren Ferguson’s side have beaten Millwall and Bristol Rovers at London Road recently. While Coventry have found the net in their previous two away matches. It could be an open game considering the Sky Blues still have play-off aspirations.

Queens Park Rangers 15:00 West Bromwich Albion

Two promotion hopefuls clash at Loftus Road and it could be a tight affair. QPR have had issues scoring goals at home recently. While four of the past five West Brom games have featured two goals or less. Considering that both sides are looking to avoid conceding that first goal against a play-off rival, we could see this ending in a goalless draw or something similar.
