Championship tips for weekend clashes including Aston Villa and leaders Huddersfield

Following a disappointing opening two defeats this term, Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United have bounced back and now lost just once in 11 outings on all fronts.

Summer signing Dwight Gayle is key to their success and has flourished in front of goal, having recently hit a hat-trick against Norwich City. The in-form froward is therefore a promising 3/1 to fire in two or more strikes on his latest home appearance.

Villa to tame Wolves and both teams score

Aston Villa may have begun life in the Championship very poorly, but their fixture record against next opponents Wolves should give them a huge boost in confidence on home soil.

The Villans have incredibly lost just once in this clash since 1980, stretching back a remarkable 20 match-ups, and the hosts are a tasty 13/4 to triumph at Villa Park with both teams getting on the scoresheet this time out.

Jerome to score in Norwich victory

Reliable Norwich City frontman Cameron Jerome has been in flying form this season, dispatching five goals in 10 outings and he will aim to continue that impressive streak against Rotherham United.

Clinical Canaries attacker Jerome was on target in his last meeting with the Millers at Carrow Road and he is 6/4 to get on the scoresheet in a home success, with their opponents currently rock bottom of the Championship table.

Huddersfield to overcome Wednesday

League leaders Huddersfield take on Sheffield Wednesday in Sunday’s only Championship clash, and they will look to overturn a woeful fixture run on home turf.

The Yorkshire outfit have failed to win in five meetings with their next opponents but, after an impressive five consecutive victories at the John Smith’s Stadium, Huddersfield are 29/20 to make it six in a row as part of our Championship tips for weekend games.
