Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

The Championship resumes hostilities this weekend, and Aston Villa will be keen to extend their recent unbeaten run to three matches in the English second tier when they take on second from bottom club, Brentford at Villa Park.

The international break came at just the wrong time for Steve Bruce’s men as they seemed to be starting to build some much needed momentum having secured all three points in a 4-2 home win over Norwich City which was followed up with a point away at Bristol City in a 1-1 draw.

It hasn’t been the start to the new campaign that Villa or Bruce had imagined though so far, particularly having suffered earlier back-to-back defeats away at Cardiff City and Reading before the win over The Canaries.

Visitors Brentford look to have their backs to the wall even before a ball has been kicked at Villa Park as they sit second from bottom in the Championship after a poor start to the season which has seen them pick up just two points from their first five league matches of the new term.

Defeats to Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town have ensured an uncertain start to proceedings for The Bees.

To make matters worse, The Bees’ defensive resources were plundered in the transfer window with Birmingham City swooping for highly rated defenders, Harlee Dean and Maxime Colin, along with creative midfielder Jota, so manager Dean Smith must now juggle his squad ahead of their tough trip to the east midlands on Saturday afternoon.

Brentford are without a win in the Championship from their last seven matches overall, and this poor sequence of results could well continue at Villa Park today
