5 Championship Tips for Gameweek 24 - Get £100 in Free Bets This Weekend

Bournemouth will be looking to get their title challenge back on track when they host Luton on Saturday afternoon.
The Cherries slumped to 1-1 draw with Millwall in midweek, with a late Matt Smith goal cancelling out Dominic Salanke’s 10th goal of the season (he is currently 7/2 to score first), leaving them five points adrift of Norwich at the top of the table.

Meanwhile, Luton also found themselves undone in midweek, succumbing to a slick QPR performance leaving the Hatters with just one win in their last five fixtures.

We expect Bournemouth to have too much quality over their opponents this weekend, so we have chosen a boosted bet of Bournemouth to win and both teams to score at 10/3.

Watford could move back up into the top five with a win over Huddersfield on Saturday, and will be looking to bounce back following their lacklustre display last weekend.

The Hornets fell victim to a brace from Swansea’s Jamal Lowe last time out, which would have been a huge disappointment for Xisco Munez having claimed a large scalp against Norwich the week before.

Their opponents this weekend, Huddersfield have had a mixed bag of results lately, and find themselves in somewhat of a limbo in 13th place. However, when these two sides met back in December, it was The Terriers who walked away with all three points.

Despite this, we expect Watford to get the win in the home fixture, and with just one game out of their last eight yielding more than 2.5 goals, we’ve tipped it to be a low scoring affair with under 2.5 goals at 11/4.

Both of these sides will be looking to keep any hopes of a play-off finish alive by putting another three points on the board this weekend.

Stoke are without a win in their last three games, most recently losing out to a late Junior Stanislas goal against Bournemouth last weekend. However, they will certainly take comfort in the fact that they defeated this weekend’s opponents in the reverse fixture last month, and will be looking for a similar result here.

Blackburn ran out eventual 2-0 victors away to Birmingham last weekend, with golden boot hopeful Adam Armstrong ending a rare run of three games without finding the net.

We’ve tipped him to add to his tally now he has found his feet again, and we expect the game to conclude in a fiercely contested draw at 8/1.

Derby County host fellow relegation rivals Rotherham on Saturday afternoon in what could turn out to be a crucial fixture in their bids for survival.

Wayne Rooney’s side have shown glimpses of promise in recent weeks, with impressive wins over second-place Swansea and an emphatic 4-0 victory at Birmingham handing their fanbase a glimmer of hope this season after a torrid start. However, they enter this fixture off the back of an embarrassing FA Cup exit to minnows Chorley, so The Rams will be looking to rectify that result as quickly as possible.

Rotherham have two games in hand over their opponents this weekend, and sit just three points off them in 23rd. The Millers have endured a rather dismal run of form of late, winning just one of their last nine fixtures, losing seven in the process.

With Derby’s fortunes looking like they may be slowly starting to turn, and Rotherham finding themselves in a difficult period, our tip goes to the home side to win either 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 at 2/1.

Barnsley host high-flyers Swansea on Saturday evening, in the hopes of getting their play-off push back on track.
The Tykes narrowly lost out to title favourites Norwich last weekend to a solitary goal from Emi Buendia, but they have won five out of their last seven games so they won’t feel too disheartened.

As well as this, they continued their run in the FA Cup with a win over Tranmere in midweek, so they will be full of confidence going into Saturday’s fixture.

However, Swansea pose a serious threat and have closed the gap on leaders Norwich to just four points, having gone unbeaten in four games. The reverse of this fixture last month saw The Swans record an impressive 2-0 victory, and we’ve tipped them to repeat a similar feat here by winning to nil at 11/2.
