Blackpool to beat West Ham at 5/4 (2.25) with 188Bet
This game looks a hard one to call as Blackpool host West Ham in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
The visitors may have lost top spot to Southampton at the weekend but the Hammers still boast the division’s best record away from home, having picked up eight wins on their travels so far in this campaign.
West Ham are available at 19/10 (2.9) with 188Bet to win this one. However, Blackpool have a mean home record of their own with nine wins at Bloomfield Road. They are also in great form and are on a seven-game unbeaten run in the Championship, which is an achievement in itself for such an unpredictable division. The Seasiders are the pick to win in front of their own fans at 5/4 (2.25) with 188Bet.
Middlesbrough to beat Millwall at 9/5 (2.8) with 188Bet
The wheels seemed to be off for Tony Mowbray’s Middlesbrough side. A run of six games without a win was finally ended thanks to a 2-1 home win over strugglers Nottingham Forest last week but Boro will be hoping to recapture their previously impressive away form when they visit Millwall on Tuesday.
Only West Ham have picked up more points on their travels than Middlesbrough this season and while the trip to the New Den is a considerable jaunt there should be nothing to fear for Mowbray’s men. Only three teams have won fewer games than Millwall in front of their own fans. The Lions are 13/10 (2.3) shots with 188Bet in this one but the pick is a Middlesbrough win at 9/5 (2.8).
Birmingham to beat Barnsley at 9/8 (2.13) with 188Bet
Birmingham have a strong case for being the nation’s form team. Chris Hughton’s men are unbeaten since Christmas and hit new heights at the weekend when they picked up a draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup. A trip to Barnsley on Tuesday evening would be a disappointing place for that run to end, especially given that Birmingham have been particularly impressive away from home in recent weeks.
The Blues hit Millwall for six before putting four past both Sheffield United and Leeds. Barnsley have won their last two at home in the Championship and are 28/13 (3.15) to make it three out of three. But backing Birmingham is the stand-out bet and they are 9/8 (2.13) with 188Bet for the win.
Treble – Blackpool, Middlesbrough and Birmingham all to win at a little over 12/1 (13.0) with 188Bet
