From time to time, we like to look
beyond the heady heights of the Premier League to see if there’s
any value to be found in the Both Teams To Score (BTTS) markets in
the Football League. This week, we’ve come up with three
Championship fixtures that we believe will produce a few goals and,
hopefully, a nice little profit to boot.
Blackburn Rovers versus Hull City
(6/5)
Rovers needed an injury time equaliser
to force a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture at the KC Stadium in
September and, despite being separated by 15 places in the
Championship, there may not be much between the teams once again.
Paul Lambert’s side had the best of the chances during their 1-1
draw away to Middlesbrough last week and, while the Tigers are a
strong defensive side, they have conceded in 7 of their last 10 away
games in the Championship.
Charlton Athletic versus Cardiff
City (5/6)
The Addicks remain rock bottom of the
Championship, four points from safety, and although winless at home
since November, score draws against Bolton Wanderers, Nottingham
Forest and Blackburn Rovers provide cause for encouragement. The
Bluebirds recorded back-to-back away wins at Wolves and Huddersfield
last month, scoring three on each occasion, so should be capable of
breaching the Addicks’ defence.
Reading versus Burnley (10/11)
The Clarets currently lie third in the
Championship table, just 2 points behind leaders Middlesbrough and,
having scored 9 goals in their last three fixtures away from Turf
Moor, are sure to provide stiff opposition for Royals. That said, the
Clarets’ defence is far from impenetrable, especially against a
Reading side that’smade a habit of scoring at home in the
Championship this season.
A BTTS treble on the above three
fixtures with Bet365 works out at cumulative odds of 6.7/1, or a
return of £77 for a £10 stake.
