Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

The New York Stadium is the venue of my next pick as hosts Rotherham United look to pull away out of the relegation pack when they entertain fellow relegation candidates Bolton Wanderers in a real six-pointer.

Rotherham were given a glimmer of hope of Championship survival last weekend when they beat promotion candidates Hull City 2-0 on home turf and the arrival of former Leeds boss Neil Redfearn following the sacking of Steve Evans may just be able to engineer an escape from the drop for the South Yorkshire outfit.

Rotherham’s home form stands at  3-2-6  15/20 but with recent wins over Bristol City and Hull City, the Millermen may well fancy their chances of claiming something from this crucial clash on Boxing Day.

Visitors Bolton Wanderers were involved in another draw last weekend when they held Fulham to a 2-2 result at the Macron Stadium following an earlier 2-2 draw with Charlton Athletic at The Valley. But it’s now 16 Championship games on the trot without a win for The Trotters as they look for a way out of the bottom three.

However, recent form suggests that they could even struggle away at fellow relegation candidates Rotherham United as the hosts look more likely to claim the points in this relegation battle. In addition, Bolton’s away record stands at a very poor  0-3-8  7/21 and they’ve failed to score in 7 of their 11 away matches to date which doesn’t bode well for the visitors.

I reckon there’s some value therefore in backing Rotherham with the draw no bet option which is attractively priced.
