Championship Betting Tips Today: Best Bets In Second Tier As Swansea Surrender Unbeaten Record

| BY Tony Incenzo

TWO clubs maintain unbeaten records in our EFL Championship heading into another round of midweek fixtures. This includes the surprise package filling pole position.

Alternatively, two teams are yet to register much sought after victories. One of them has signed a former England striker whilst attempting to boost dreadful form. Therefore football betting odds make compulsive reading.

EFL Championship Predictions:

Southampton to win (17/20)
Wrexham to win & both teams to score (29/10)
West Ham to win by two or more goals (6/4)

Here is my analysis of the upcoming games I am looking forward to most alongside considered score predictions to assist your Championship betting…

Southampton v Swansea City Prediction

Kick-off: 7.45pm
Rankings: 19th versus 1st

Southampton preview – Four nicely unconquered results beyond losing their initial fixture 2-1 at Watford. Actually, Southampton would be flying high in 8th spot if it wasn’t for the four points deduction due to breaches of EFL regulations.

Brazilian defender Welington’s 30 yard humdinger during their 1-1 draw at Lincoln City was our best EFL Championship goal scored over the weekend in my opinion.

Swansea City preview – One point clear and protecting an undefeated return to confound pre-season odds.

Significantly, merely one EFL goal conceded by Swansea to date incorporating four ongoing consecutive clean sheets. Swans boss Vitor Matos said: “The next steps for us are to keep improving because there is a lot more to come throughout my team.”

Score prediction: Saints alive 1-0.

Wrexham v Burnley Prediction

Kick-off: 7.45pm
Rankings: 11th versus 24th

Wrexham preview – Fresh from an encouraging scoreless draw at table toppers Swansea City amidst intense Welsh bragging tights. However just a single EFL victory so far for the so-called Hollywood club arriving 3-0 away to Millwall last Wednesday.

Burnley preview – Winless and one point adrift at the bottom thereby staring back-to-back relegations in the face. Ex-England striker Jamie Vardy, 39, signed as a free agent on Sunday as the Clarets look to spice up attacking options.

Score prediction: Wrexham wisest 3-1.

Bolton Wanderers v West Ham United Prediction

Kick-off: 8pm
Rankings: 21st versus 8th

Bolton Wanderers preview – Three straight defeats leave newly promoted Bolton a point above the early season drop zone. They haven’t won since beating visitors Preston North End 2-1 on the opening day.

West Ham United preview – Successive home maximum pointers racking up seven goals see West Ham climbing into the Play-Off qualification region. Hammers boss Nuno Espírito Santo said: “I think my team is on a good path now and starting to gel.”

Score prediction: Hammers hotshots 3-0.
