Champions League Preview 16th April

This Tuesday sees a full fixture list in the Championship and here is our guide to the best of the bets from these twelve games.

It will be party night at the Cardiff City Stadium as they know a point will be enough for them to celebrate a return to the top-flight for the first time since 1962. A word of caution though do rush to put them into your accumulators at 3/4(bet365/BetVictor/william hill). Visitors Charlton are on a great run of form at the moment taking ten points from their last four games including a 6-0 demolition of Barnsley on Saturday. The Addicks have the best away record in the league outside of the top three and could spring a shock at 9/2 (betway).

One of the best bets in the Championship is in taking Leeds to see off Burnley at Elland Road. The appointment of Brian McDermott is a shrewd one and the man harshly sacked by Reading is an expert at this level. He got off to a great start with a Yorkshire derby victory over Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend and I expect the momentum to continue here at home to Burnley. The Clarets have just won of their last seven away and the 6/4 (BetVictor/william hill) looks generous on a home side who will be playing to impress their new manager.

I am shocked to see Bolton as big as 11/4 (bet365) to win at Leicester after a run of eight wins from their last ten games. Dougie Freedman looks to have been a shrewd appointment at the helm of the club and his side are on a run of form that has pushed them into the play-off places. Take Bolton at 17/10 (BetVictor) in the draw no bet market to see off fellow promotion seekers Leicester. The Foxes have managed just four points from their last nine games and at their own ground have won just one of their last seven.

A big game at the bottom of the table is taking place between Blackburn and Huddersfield with Rovers 17/14 (188 Bet) the victory while a draw is 5/2 (bet365/BetVictor) and an away win is 5/2 (general). Both sides secured crucial victories at the weekend with Blackburn seeing off Derby and Town winning a big game at Wolves. This looks a tough game to call from a betting point of view though I do like the look of Neil Danns in the anytime scorer market. The Huddersfield midfielder has netted twice in the last five games and went close at the weekend against Wolves. He is 16/1 (bet365/ladbrokes) in the first scorer market or a very generous 6/1 (ladbrokes) in the anytime scorer market.

Finally it would be stupid not to take on free-falling Middlesbrough at the Riverside as Nottingham Forest roll into town. Boro have lost six of their last seven and a once promising season has fizzled out as doubts remain about the ability of Tony Mowbray to motivate his players. Forest could not ask for a better game to get their season back on track after a little stumble has seen them win none of their last four and they have slid outside of the top six. Boro though are opponents ready to be taken on and odds of 13/8 (Bet365) look hard to ignore on a Forest victory.

BEST OF THE BETS

GOLD: Nottingham Forest to beat Middlesbrough, 13/8 (Bet365)
SILVER: Leeds to beat Burnley, 6/4 (BetVictor/William Hill)
BRONZE: Bolton to beat Leicester in draw no bet market, 17/10 (BetVictor)
