Tuesday night will see another exciting round of action in the Championship and Bolton Wanderers will be hoping they can come on top in the ‘Roses’ clash when they face Leeds United at the Reebok Stadium (Bolton Evs draw 12/5 Leeds 11/4 – Match Betting).
It has not been an easy start to life in the Championship for under-pressure manager Owen Coyle and his players have found themselves on the wrong side of the scoreline in a number of tight encounters.
Bolton – 18th place in the table – suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace last weekend and will be desperate to bag the three points against a Leeds side who will head to the Reebok Stadium full of confidence.
The West Yorkshire outfit beat Nottingham Forest and Bristol City in the Championship and saw off Everton in the Capital One Cup, in what was a successful week for manager Neil Warnock and his men.
Striker El-Hadji Diouf has been a revelation since making the move to Elland Road and he will certainly be a threat once again.
Bolton have plenty of talent in their ranks and between two pretty evenly matched sides this Lancashire-Yorkshire derby might well finish with the points shared.
Cardiff City have started to emerge as a strong force in the push for promotion and they will be looking to keep up their winning momentum when they face Birmingham City (Cardiff 10/11 draw 5/2 Birmingham 3/1 – Match Betting).
With four wins in their last five game in the Championship, the Bluebirds are looking strong under manager Malky Mackay.
Cardiff have won all four of their home games this season and will once again be formidable opposition against a Blues outfit struggling to live up to expectations this season.
Injuries have plagued manager Lee Clark and his squad at St Andrew’s but they managed to battle for a 1-0 draw against Brighton on the South Coast.
They will need a similarly gritty performance to get a result in the Welsh capital but the Bluebirds should have enough quality to get the three points.
In another standout game on Tuesday, Hull City will be looking to bounce back from their surprising defeat to Peterborough United when they face Blackpool at the KC Stadium (Hull 11/8 draw 12/5 Blackpool 15/8 – Match Betting).
The Tigers looked in fine form but have come unstuck in their last two outings, with Leicester City and strugglers Peterborough getting the better of manager Steve Bruce and his men.
Blackpool have also gone off the boil in their last two outings with heavy defeats at the hands of Huddersfield Town and Cardiff.
This game will really be about which side can put their recent disappointments behind them when they line-up on Tuesday night.
Both teams have match winners but the Tangerines, with the likes of Tom Ince and Gary Taylor-Fletcher, could edge this one over the Tigers.
