Football – England – Championship Betting Tips

Former Premier League outfit, Middlesbrough, have made a mixed start to life back in the Championship so far this season as they lost 1-0 away at Wolves on the opening day of the new campaign, but quickly bounced back with a 1-0 win at home over Sheffield United on the weekend.

It’s been all change at the Riverside Stadium lately, with former Swansea City and Leeds United manager, Garry Monk taking over the reigns from Karanka who had achieved promotion for Boro the season before last. Nottingham Forest prolific striker, Britt Assombalonga, has also joined, and has bolstered a useful attacking line-up that includes Gestede, Bamford and Braithwaite.

Boro also possess an experienced midfield unit that includes Howson, Leadbitter and Clayton along with Chelsea loanee, Lewis Baker. The hosts know that three points tonight would lift them towards the top of the Championship.

Visitors Burton Albion have been tipped as one of the sides to battle against relegation this term, and the form book has certainly followed the script so far in the first two weeks of this new season as The Brewers have fallen to back-to-back defeats against Cardiff City and Hull City so far.

Nigel Clough’s side battled gamely throughout last season to avoid the drop which they duly achieved, but the stresses of relegation may well haunt them again this term, and only time will tell if they can maintain their Championship status against the odds again this season.

Burton ended last season with an away record of  4-9-10  21/33 and were only just one point ahead of relegated Blackburn Rovers by the end of it last season.
