Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Aston Villa take on Nottingham Forest in a west versus east midlands clash as the betting tips continue in the Championship on Wednesday night.
Aston Villa scored a valuable three points and equally valuable bragging rights over their fierce rivals, Birmingham City in the recent Second City derby at Villa Park on Sunday lunchtime, and this win could well prove to be telling as the hosts have now won their last three on the trot in the Championship.
Previous wins over Bolton Wanderers and Derby County away set Villa up for local derby success against Birmingham and no doubt Dean Smith’s side will be keen to add a fourth win on the bounce here.
Villa are usually strong at home and this is reflected in their home record of 5-3-1 19/12 with their one defeat being against Sheffield Wednesday, but three wins on the trot on home turf should see the hosts buzzing again on Wednesday night.
Nottingham Forest also recorded a vital three points on the weekend with a solid 2-0 win away at Hull City which extended Forest’s unbeaten run in the second tier to five matches. The bigger picture though shows us that the visitors have lost just once in their last 12 matches overall, so they’ll fancy their chances of walking away from Villa Park with perhaps a point here.
Nottingham Forest are a confident bunch right now and their results away from home have helped lift them to the fringes of the play-off pack as they make their way to Birmingham on the back of a useful six-match unbeaten sequence on their travels.
An away record of 3-5-1 14/8 includes wins at Middlesbrough, Bolton Wanderers and Hull City along with points at Blackburn Rovers and Leeds United in 2-2 and 1-1 draws respectively.
Both sides have quality attacking personnel in the shape of Tammy Abraham and Lewis Grabban and the betting tips suggest both teams will score here.
