James Buttler picks out a 9.14/1 double from Tuesday's Championship fixtures.
Watford v Leeds United
Despite Leeds’ exit from the FA Cup, 2-0 at the hands of Millwall at the weekend, many supporters would argue it now gives them the ability of being able to 100% concentrate on continuing their excellent league form. In the Championship, it’s been 13 league matches without defeat and they remain two points above Sheffield United at the top of the table.
Watford picked up a credible 2-2 draw at Sunderland last weekend, but they’ve lost their last four home matches, despite scoring once in three of them. Leeds haven’t been as prolific in the goal scoring department on their travels, but with three wins and three draws in their last six trips, they surely have enough to trouble Watford on Tuesday evening.
Leeds United to win at 8/15 is fair but not appealing, but Leeds to win ‘to nil’ has more appeal, particularly when only Hull City have hit the back of the Leeds net in the Whites last five away matches. Leeds ‘to nil’ is 8/5 with BetVictor.
Norwich v Preston
Norwich’s home form is very good. The Canaries have won five and drawn two of their last eight home matches and put six past Plymouth, four past Luton and five into Swansea’s net.
Preston are a better team than all three of those mentioned and they sit in 15th, six points adrift of eight placed Norwich. But they’ve only won at Watford in their last five away matches and this match on Tuesday should produce another three points for Norwich.
10/13 on a Norwich win with Unibet is there if you want it, but I think there’s goals in this match. The last eight Norwich home games have seen both teams score, so a Norwich win and BTTS at 3/1 with Bet365 is where I’m putting my stake.
James’ Championship Double
If you put the above selections into a double it comes to 9.14/1 with BetVictor.
