Championship Best Bets

We picked out Tammy Abraham last week as a decent bet to get on the scoresheet against Ipswich, and he's got another side this weekend who should represent fairly easy target practice.

Aston Villa go to Reading who have won just once in their last 14 games now. Reading have lost five from seven at home against Top Half sides this season, so it's easy to get against them - they are sandwiched between Bolton and Rotherham in the table, and would surely be a bigger price if it was either of their names written in the same place on the league table for this one.

Rather than back Villa, I'm going to stick with Abraham here at 11/10 to score - he's netted in 10 of his last 13 starts for Villa, but only five of those matches saw him end on the winning side, such is the fragility of Villa's rearguard at the moment (conceded 23 in last 12).

1pt Tammy Abraham to score at anytime at 11/10 (General)

Down at Ipswich, the football is shite to say the least. While the manager has changed nothing much else has, and a tight game agasint Sheffield Wednesday looks a certainty.

Wednesday have seen seven of their last nine games go "Under 2.5 Goals" and have not scored more than one themselves since drawing 2-2 with Ritheram in early December.

They are 6/4 to beat Ipswich, which is understandable against a side who have lost 13 of their last 18 and are already mentally preparing for life in League One. Ipswich themselves have seen eight in 11 go Under 2.5 goals and have only scored more than once in a game once in 11 outings.

Under 2.5 Goals is just 4/7 in this match, so I prefer a correct score bet here. Sheffield Wednesday have won 11 games this season - no fewer than five of them by exactly 1-0, and that's actually been the score in all of their last five victories.

1pt Sheff Wednesday to win 1-0 at 13/2 (SportingBet) (6/1 also acceptable)
