Championship Best Bets

The Championship looks awash with value this weekend, so without further ado, we'll open up with Millwall to take advantage of a Sunderland ship who look all at sea right now.

Aside from Burton, the shot-data for the season has Sunderland as the worst performing team in the division, and that's reflected clearly in their progress this season which has seen them win just once in 16 league matches, and collect just three points at home from eight games. It's something of a miracle that they aren't further adrfit at the bottom really.

Millwall are the visitors this weekend, and whilst they are only 19th themselves, they are arguably better than that position suggests. They have a net zero goal difference, and have conceeded just seven goals on their travels this campaign - the best in the division. Unfortunately they've also only scored three away thus far!. This match is a great chance to change that stat, and the 13/5 on Millwall looks great value to us.

Next up are Reading, who are available at 4/1 to win their home match with Wolves, and that price is simply too long.

This bet has absolutely nothing to do with Wolves - they have lost just twice in 15 matches and have only failed to score in two matches this season. It's all about the 4/1 being too long for a Reading side who can give themselves a shot in this match.

They have won three of their last five matches, and scored four at Derby and three against Forest recently so it's hard to fathom why they should be quite as long as they are in this one.

In a week for backing outsiders, Bristol City look a tasty price at 13/5 when they go to Hillsborough. Sheffield Wednesday don't look a particularly happy camp under Carlos Carvalhal this season, and it's fair to say he doesn't have unanimous support from the stands anymore. He's spent plenty of cash and more is expected put plainly.

The Robins have lost just twice all season and sit a really handy fourth after 16 matches, so it won't be long before they start to dream about life in a richer league.

With mixed results for Wednesday, and Bristol City coming into this one with eight wins in their last 11 (including beating Cardiff last time out) the 13/5 looks another fair play.

Regular readers will know how much better we believe QPR are than the market thinks, and it was nicely rewarded ahead of the international break as they gave us back to back winners in beating table topping Wolves and Sheffield United.

We reckon that this week's match against Aston Villa looks another opportunity to cash in, with QPR available at 7/4 to win this one. Ian Holloway's side have already won five of their eight at Loftus Road this season - bettered only by Sheffield United and Wolves, while Aston Villa must do without John Terry who remains out with a broken foot

7/4 looks a generous price on the home side.
