Tuesday Championship tips, odds & betting preview

Sky Bet Championship
Kick-offs 7.45pm Tuesday

Hull v Millwall

Hull's Sky Bet Championship playoff hopes have probably ended after a run of three games without a victory but the Tigers can respond with a home victory over struggling Millwall.

A mid-table finish would be no disgrace for Hull, who looked relegation candidates in the early months of the season.

And they will be keen to put in a much better performance than Saturday's heavy 5-1 defeat at Brentford.

Key defender Reece Burke is expected to come back into the side and can help shore up a Hull defence which looked all at sea in the closing stages at Griffin Park.

And, if Hull are more solid at the back, they will have a platform to get the better of a physical Millwall side which often struggles on the road.

The Lions have lost ten of their 16 away league games this term and another reverse looks likely.

QPR v Leeds

QPR are on a club-record losing sequence of seven consecutive league defeats but may be worth chancing to spring a surprise against highflying Leeds at Loftus Road.

Key playmaker Luke Freeman (hip) is a doubt for QPR, who need to start picking up some points to avoid being sucked into the relegation battle.

But the Hoops have not been playing as badly as results suggest and their prowess from set pieces could be the key to victory over Leeds, who laboured to a 2-1 victory at home to struggling Bolton on Saturday.

Recommendation
QPR
1pt 16-5 bet365

Sheff Wed v Brentford

Brentford are one of the most entertaining sides in the Championship but they have a poor record on their travels – winning one of 15 away league games this season – and look questionable favourites against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

The Bees have had a very strong start to the year and thrashed Hull on Saturday.

But they are far from watertight at the back and could be exposed by Wednesday, who are boosted by the return from suspension of key attacker Fernando Forestieri.

Recommendation
Sheff Wed
1pt 9-4 bet365
