Strong starters Derby to shake Ipswich up
We've picked out five wagers to consider pursuing in the Championship on Tuesday and there's a glorious equilibrium about our selections - a home win, an away success, a draw, an over/under call and a half-time shout...
Nottingham Forest v Coventry
The masters of the 1-1 draw welcome fifth-placed Coventry to the City Ground this evening hoping the scoreline doesn't crop up for the eight time this term at [8.0]. One thing that you are usually count on when the Tricky Trees play hosts is under 2.5 goals, just one of their seven have had over.
Recommended Bet: Back under 2.5 goals at [1.85]
Leeds v Hull
Hull have gone seven matches without success yet may view tonight's trip to Elland Road, where Leeds have lost three in a row, as the ideal turning point. Simon Grayson's men have regained form of late though with away triumphs at Scunthorpe and Coventry, so the Tigers may be mauled again.
Recommended Bet: Back Leeds to win at [1.91]
Scunthorpe v Middlesbrough
The Championship's worst home team in the league face its most tormented travellers, but as Scunthorpe have won none of their last five at Glanford Park, and Middlesbrough ended a lengthy winless run against Crystal Palace on Saturday, we fancy Tony Mowbray's men for a rare away win.
Recommended Bet: Back Middlesbrough to win at [2.76]
Portsmouth v QPR
Tuesday's most intriguing fixture sees QPR bidding to open a four-point lead away to Portsmouth, who were defeated for the first time in eight games at Derby. Only Cardiff have beaten them at Fratton Park however, while the Hoops are still yet to lose, so a draw is the most likely outcome.
Recommended Bet: Back the draw at [3.5]
Ipswich v Derby
The best side in the Championship since mid-September visit Ipswich, who have returned to the play-off positions after a slump courtesy of victories over Millwall and Sheffield United. Derby have been ahead at the break in over half their games this season, whereas Ipswich have led in only three.
Recommended Bet: Back Derby to lead at half-time at [4.5]
