Tuesday 28th February 2017 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Aston Villa halted a miserable run of five straight defeats in the Championship on the weekend when they secured a valuable three points with a 1-0 home win over Derby County, and Steve Bruce’s men will be keen to keep the momentum going in Tuesday night’s encounter with Bristol City at Villa Park.
Villa had actually gone nine league games without a win prior to the win over The Rams and the west midlands club, relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season and tipped to bounce back into the big time this term, find themselves in the bottom half of the Championship.
However, Aston Villa still possess a reasonable record on home turf with stats of 7-7-2 23/16, and striker Kodjia has banged in 11 goals so far this season.
Visitors Bristol City earned what could be a very valuable point away at second placed Newcastle United in Saturday’s 2-2 draw, but it could have been an even better result as The Robins held a 2-0 lead at half-time.
But Bristol City are perched just above the relegation zone for a reason, and they saw their two-goal advantage whittled away by Newcastle United, which means the west country outfit have now gone four matches without a win in the English second tier.
Recent draws with Derby County and Newcastle United have book-ended defeats to Leeds United and Fulham, and with a rather ordinary looking away record of 2-4-11 24/30 on their travels so far, Bristol City could struggle again in tonight’s clash with Aston Villa.
