Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Derby County will be looking to continue their recent impressive momentum on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Championship strugglers, Reading, at the iPro Stadium with the home side seeking a fifth league win on the trot.

The Rams’ recent surge in form includes a local derby win over Nottingham Forest along with victories over Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich City and Leeds United – the latter two results being achieved away from home, and the bigger picture is that Derby are now unbeaten in their last seven prior to today’s clash.

Derby have also been impressive on home turf so far this season too, with a record of  4-1-1  11/3 which includes four clean sheets which will have pleased manager, Garry Rowett, a former defender himself, and they possess a potent attacking force that includes Nugent, Winnall and Vydra, the latter in line to face his former club today.

Onto Reading then, and The Royals secured a valuable three points during the week when they beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at the Madejski Stadium to pull away from the bottom three in the Championship, which put paid to recent back-to-back defeats to Sheffield United and Middlesbrough, from turning into something more serious.

However, Reading and manager Jaap Stam will have their work cut out when they travel to the east midlands for their clash with in-form Derby County here, as Reading desperately seek some sort of consistency on their travels.

An away record of  2-1-4  6/8 isn’t good enough for a side harbouring ambitions of a play-off place this season, and although they’ve recently picked up wins at Birmingham City and Leeds United, they’ve also been handed defeats at Millwall and Sheffield United.
