Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Easter Monday brings us more action from the Championship and my first pick features new league leaders Brighton taking on relegation threatened Wigan Athletic at the AMEX Stadium as Brighton have hit good form at an important stage of the season.

The Seagulls have won their last four on the trot in the Championship with wins gained over Blackburn Rovers, Birmingham City, QPR and Wolves which has lifted them to the top of the division where they hold a valuable four-point lead over stuttering Newcastle United.

Brighton’s success this season so far has been based upon a solid defensive unit which has conceded just 12 goals at home to date amidst an overall impressive record of  16-3-2  44/12, while at the business end, only Norwich City (49 goals) have outscored Brighton at home in the Championship so far.

Visitors Wigan Athletic come into this important match following crucial back-to-back wins over Rotherham United and Barnsley which has given The Latics a lifeline to Championship survival ahead of their trip down to the south coast on Easter Monday.

However, it should be noted that both of these recent wins were registered at Wigan’s DW Stadium, while Wigan have suffered back-to-back defeats on the road in recent weeks at Newcastle United and Ipswich Town. Wigan’s away record stands at  5-4-12  20/28.

Wigan have managed just one away win from their last five on the road which was at beleaguered Birmingham City, but they’ll have their work cut out to contain a rampant Brighton, especially in The Seagulls’ back-yard with momentum behind the hosts.
