Championship Best Bets

Two decent sides meet at the Riverside on Saturday, and a low scoring encounter is likely to be on the cards such has been the way Tony Pulis has built his Boro side.

Boro have scored 17 and conceded 10 in their 16 home matches this season - an average is 1.69 goals per game. Exciting stuff right?

That run has included six draws, fives games with Under 1.5 Goals and 14 games with Under 2.5 Goals! Both Teams have scored in just four of them.

This week's visitors are Brentford, who have found winning on the road very difficult this season - just one victory away all season which has mostly been because they can't keep things tight at the back. Despite scoring in 11 of their 16 matches they have won just once.

This one could see Boro grab the opening goal in a trappy match, and then look to sit back and protect it. We'll back a clutch of bets which could both win if things play out like we expect.

Only Norwich have scored more goals than West Brom in the Championship this season, while the worst defence is Ipswich Town - leaking 59 goals in 35 games. The pair clash at the Hawthorns and West Brom will win.

The question is probably how will they win? They have scored 2+ goals in 10 of their 17 home games, and 3+ in four of those.

In losing 13 of their 17 away games this campaign, Ipswich have conceded 2+ in 15 and 3+ in two. It's a startling statistic that they have leaked exactly two in 12 of 17, but probably more of a statistical anomaly. The only two sides not to hit 2+ were Wigan and Rotherham!
