Championship Accumulator

This is the time of the season when sides fighting for their lives inexplicably start finding a little extra while teams at the top sometimes get nervous. That can lead to upsets and before we know it we can be looking at a promising 25/1 (BetVictor) shot accumulator! Today we delve into the Championship and put our faith in Sheffield Wednesday, Barnsley and Bolton

Wednesday (2/1) v Cardiff:

The Owls pulled off a great result by winning 1-0 at Leicester last weekend to give themselves a small amount of breathing space away from the relegation trap door. They have actually won their last three at home to Cardiff who habitually get stage-fright when the prospect of promotion looms. One win in five for the Bluebirds has seen an 11-point lead diminish to 4 in barely a month. And Dave Jones would love to put one over his former employers.

Barnsley (21/10) v Watford:

This fixture has a very similar feel to the one above after Barnsley notched a vital win over promotion-chasing Brighton in midweek to climb out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Watford stumbled in their last outing, beaten at home by Blackpool. Nobody enjoys a trip to Oakwell when the hosts are full of fight and the Tykes have won five of their last six there in all competitions.

Ipswich v Bolton (15/8):

Hard to believe but Bolton were also down near the bottom not so long ago but they are now eyeing the play-offs after an unbeaten run of eight matches including five wins on the spin. Ipswich are looking over their shoulders again after a worrying dip in form at the wrong time. The Tractor Boys just can’t find the net having scored only one goal in their last five outings.
