Our Championship Tips for Gameweek 36 - Get £100 in Free Bets This Weekend

High-flying Brentford travel to Ewood Park to play Blackburn Rovers on Friday night. Thomas Frank's men will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Norwich last time out, and a win would see the Bees jump up to 2nd ahead of the Saturday fixtures.

In the opposition dugout, Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray will be looking to relieve further pressure on his job after a promising 4 points in their last two against Millwall and Swansea.
Ivan Toney is having one of the best Championship seasons ever seen.

The former Peterborough man has 34 goal contributions in (25G, 9A) 33 Championship games this season, and if the Bees are to be promoted automatically, that form has to continue.

The 24-year-old has scored 2 or more this season 5 times, and we are backing him to do so again at a boosted 5/1.

Promotion chasing Swansea will be looking to regain their place in the Championship top two on Saturday when they face an inconsistent Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.

Steve Cooper's Swansea are unbeaten in their last three and will be looking to continue that consistency for the season's final stretch in a bid to be promoted to the Premier League after a three-year absence. 

January loan signing Conor Hourihane from Aston Villa has been a revelation since joining the Welsh club, scoring 4 and assisting 1 in 10 games. We are backing the Irishman to score this Saturday lunchtime again at 14/5.

Nigel Pearson will be looking for a response after back-to-back defeats against Bournemouth and Queens Park Rangers dented his start to life at Ashton Gate. The Robins are sat comfortably in midtable, and Pearson will likely use the remaining 11 games to assess his squad ahead of a big 21/22 season.

Unlike their opponents this Saturday, Birmingham City are anything but comfortable. The Blues sit a place and three points above the relegation zone, with Rotherham in 22nd having 3 games in hand over Aitor Karanka's men. Their game against the Robins is a must-win, with Birmingham facing promotion-chasing Reading, Watford, Swansea, and Brentford in their four games following the clash at St. Andrews.

We are backing Bristol City to pile further misery on the Blues with them winning and BTTS priced at 8/1.

The surprise package of the season has to be Barnsley, who stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season on the final day. Since the arrival of manager Valerian Ismail just four games into the season, the Tykes have been on an upward trajectory due to the Frenchman's impressive aggressive pressing style. In their last 10 Championship games, Barnsley are unbeaten and had a seven-match winning streak ended last time out against Derby in a 0-0 draw.

Ismail takes his team to the South Coast to take on Jonathon Woodgate's Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, who are sitting just a place behind Barnsley in 7th. Consistency has been Bournemouth's issue this season, and that has continued under Woodgate's stewardship with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses in his 9 games in charge.

Both teams are boosted for a BBTS and win, with Bournemouth priced at 5/1 and Barnsley at 13/2, but we are going to go with the away team for this one due to their incredible form.
