Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Next up is a relegation battle between Bristol City and Rotherham United in the Championship with both teams desperate to take all three points to ease their respective relegation worries when they meet at Ashton Gate.
Bristol City ended their miserable run of eight Championship defeats on the trot during the week when they held play-off candidates Sheffield Wednesday to a 2-2 draw, and they’ll be looking to go one step better and claim all three points here in this encounter I daresay.
Bristol City possess an average home record of 6-2-6 19/18 but they have the added incentive of putting some daylight between themselves and the bottom three if they manage a win here. New signing Matty Taylor from rivals Bristol Rovers could make his debut here alongside leading goalscorer Abrahams (16 goals).
Rotherham United head into this clash following three league defeats on the trot as they’ve fallen to losses against Newcastle United, Barnsley and Nottingham Forest, and despite a recent 2-1 home win over Norwich City, The Millermen are still firmly rooted to bottom spot in the Championship.
Rotherham possess a woeful away record which stands at 0-1-14 10/42 which is by far and away the worst away record for any club that has been bottom of the Championship for some time, and seven straight defeats away from home doesn’t bode well for their visit to the west country, particularly when you consider that Bristol City have bolstered their attacking personnel.
In addition, Rotherham have failed to score in 8 of their 15 away matches to date.
