Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Birmingham City’s impressive seven-match unbeaten run in the Championship came crashing down on the weekend when they lost 3-1 away to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, but they have a great chance of bouncing back tonight against bottom club Rotherham United.
Birmingham’s recent solid run of form had lifted them into an early play-off position, and whilst they still remain there despite this recent defeat, they’ll be keen to hold onto this when they take on Rotherham at St Andrews this evening.
The Blues’ home record stands at 3-2-1 9/6 having registered wins over current Championship leaders Norwich City, seventh placed Sheffield Wednesday and second from bottom outfit Blackburn Rovers.
Visitors Rotherham United were handed a fifth consecutive defeat in the Championship when they were soundly beaten 3-1 away at Norwich City on Saturday afternoon,which now makes it a total of eight league games without a win for Alan Stubbs’ boys.
The Millers are now firmly planted at the bottom of the English second tier and already find themselves five points adrift of Cardiff City and the safety position of 21st having endured a terrible start to the new campaign.
Rotherham’s away record reads a very sorry looking 0-0-6 4/19 and they possess the worst defensive record on the road in the Championship by some distance, while it’s now been eight matches without a win on their travels.
In addition, Rotherham have conceded 3 goals or more in six of their last seven away matches which gives you an indication of how bad their defence is right now.
