Championship tips for weekend wrangles including Barnsley v Forest, Huddersfield v Wigan

Rafa Bentiez’s boys have been no slouches in the goalscoring department. The Magpies have notched a whopping 36 strikes, while Lancashire club Blackburn have conceded a very leaky 27 – thus making for a mismatched battle.

Dwight Gayle’s double gave his Tyneside team a triumph over Leeds last time out, signalling the striker’s return to fearsome form. So, punters can plump for the Championship top scorer at a fine 14/5 to fire in first and Newcastle to win.

Leeds to win both halves in Yorkshire derby

In recent rumbles between Rotherham United and Leeds United, The Millers have done well on New York Stadium soil. But, this term, as South Yorkshire hosts West Yorkshire, Rotherham are rock bottom with just one league win all season.

So, you can grab better value on top seven side Leeds to win both 45s in this Yorkshire derby at 23/10 against a team that tasted its one and only triumph of the term way back in August.

Huddersfield and Wigan to end evenly

As Huddersfield Town and Wigan Athletic collide on Monday expect fireworks, as the teams from Yorkshire and Greater Manchester meet at John Smith’s Stadium.

Despite flying high earlier in the Championship campaign, the Terriers have fallen off the pace with only one victory in their past three outings. While, Wigan have ground out four draws across their last seven, including last time out. So, bearing all that in mind a draw at 23/10 could prove prudent.
