Football – England – Championship Betting Tips
Swansea City take on Nottingham Forest with more betting tips available for our readers in the Championship on Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea have made a steady start under their new manager, Graham Potter, who had previously enjoyed unrivalled success at his former Swedish club, Ostersunds, and he’ll be looking to take The Swans back up to the Premier league at the first time of asking this season as they adapt to life back in the Championship.
It’s been seven seasons since the Welsh club have plied their trade in the second tier, but having suffered just one defeat so far this term, Potter’s side have made a solid start to the new campaign.
Wins over Sheffield United, Preston North End and Millwall have helped lift them into 7th place and level on points with Brentford and Bristol City in the play-off pack, and another win today could see them jump into the top three. Forward McBurnie (4 goals) is the hosts leading goalscorer so far.
Nottingham Forest find themselves in a mid-table position after the first six matches of the new season having impressed at the City Ground, but have been found wanting on their travels so far in this campaign.
Forest, along with Birmingham City, have become the early ‘draw specialists’ in the Championship this term after they’ve drawn four of their six matches played to date with stalemates against Bristol City, West Brom, Wigan Athletic and unsurprisingly, Birmingham City.
However, results and form seem to continue to elude the Tricky Trees on their travels as they’re still without an away win from their last nine, keeping just two clean sheets and failing to score themselves in four of these nine.
The draw is a concern, so my betting tips advise backing Swansea with the draw no bet option here.
Pick: Swansea City AH0 @ 1.67 Bet Victor
