Championship Double
2 of the sides likely to be in the playoff shake-up should win against lowly opponents on Saturday who are both struggling to avoid the trap door.
We’re backing away wins for upwardly mobile Leeds and Fulham at a combined best price of 5.21/1 with WilliamHill.
Birmingham v Leeds (13/10):
The hosts are heading towards League One unless they can improve upon their dismal record of just 12 goals scored in 24 Championship matches; they are currently rock bottom and winless in 7. Leeds could win an award for streakiness but they are currently on a positive one after taking 16 points from the last 18 available.
Hull v Fulham (17/10):
Momentum can be everything at Christmas in this division and Fulham have plenty after a 4-2 win at Cardiff last time out. They have now won 5 of their last 7 as they gradually start to look like the promotion contenders anticipated pre-season. In contrast Hull are on the brink of a relegation dogfight after recording just 1 victory in 11 outings. Nigel Adkins provided a 1-game lift but they have since gone 3 matches without scoring.
