Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Aston Villa will look to continue their revival under manager Steve Bruce when they take on Wigan Athletic at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon as the hosts loo to break into the top half of the Championship for the first time this season.

Following a promising run of seven league matches without defeat, Bruce’s men suffered a 2-0 loss away at Leeds United last weekend, but with home advantage today (where they still remain undefeated), Villa will fancy their chances of bouncing back with a win.

Aston Villa’s overall home record stands at a solid  4-5-0 15/8 and they’ve won their last three matches on the trot at home with wins over Fulham, Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City. In addition, Villa hold a commanding  4-2-0  11/4 record at home against bottom half opposition to date.

Onto Wigan Athletic, and the visitors definitely fit into the category of bottom half opposition as The Latics are currently floundering second from bottom in the Championship ahead of this weekend’s English second tier action.

Wigan’s recent results have been of mixed fortunes as they’ve lost three (versus Brighton, Reading and Derby County) all at home by the way, along with two wins over Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town which were both achieved on the road.

However, Wigan’s overall away record stands at a below-par  2-3-5 10/13 while their record at home against bottom half opposition stands at a mixed  2-1-2  5/3.

To sum up, I’ll back Aston Villa to grab all three points here as they possess more quality and depth.
