Championship Best Bets

We'll start at high-flying West Brom, who take on struggling Wigan. The Baggies have been consistently strong all season, but especially of late, winning five and drawing two of their last seven - scoring 2+ in six of those matches. It's need a winnable run of course, with matches against Ipswich, Swansea and Rotherham among them, but they've also beaten Leeds and Sheffield United within that run.

Wigan are at the other end of the spectrum, losing seven from ten outing - including a 3-0 reverse at home to Birmingam last time out, and a 1-0 defeat at Ipswich before that. They have failed to score in five of their last seven and are being sucked ever closer to the drop zone as 2019 approaches. Away from home they have collected just four points from 11 fixtures.

This should be a comfortable win for West Brom and they look worth backing at 11/10 on the -1 Asian Handicap. For those not familiar with Asian Handicaps, that bet wins if West Brom win by two or more goals, you get your stake back if the Baggies win by exactly one goal, and you lose of Wigan achieve a draw or better.

We'll also take a punt on one of the best signings of the season for anyone - anywhere. Dwight Gayle has proved before he is too good for the Championship when scoring all those goals for Newcastle, and he already has 13 in 15 starts for West Brom. He's scored in nine in 10 home matches this season - netting in seven of those, so should be confident of netting against one of the weakest sides in the division. He's 11/10 with Bet365 but should arguably be odds-on in this.
