Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Although Leeds United have lost their last two away matches on the trot, they’ll head into their Tuesday night encounter with Wigan Athletic at Elland Road in reasonably confident mood as they chase a fourth consecutive win in the Championship on home turf.

Defeats on the road at Bristol City and Derby County have prevented the west Yorkshire club from moving up into the top half of the division, but manager Garry Monk seems the right man for the massive task of lifting the sleeping giant back into the big time.

Leeds hold a reasonable home record of  3-1-2  7/6 at Elland Road but they’ll be looking to further improve these stats with the visit of Wigan Athletic here tonight. Striker Chris Wood (5 goals) is the player to watch for the home side.

Visitors Wigan Athletic were held to a second stalemate on the trot in the English second tier on the weekend as they shared the points in a frustrating goalless draw with Burton Albion, which followed a previous 0-0 stalemate away at Brentford.

With just one league win from their last ten matches overall, Wigan’s hopes of re-igniting their fast-fading hopes of at least a play-off place in this campaign have all but disappeared even at this early stage as they sit third from bottom in the Championship.

The Latics have picked up just one point from the first possible 18 on offer away from home, thanks to the 0-0 draw at Brentford, but I fancy they’ll struggle at Leeds tonight on the back of an overall record of  0-1-5  6/11. In addition, Wigan have kept just three clean sheets from their last 15 on their travels.
