Sky Sports Red Button, 7.45pm Tuesday

Birmingham v Reading

Birmingham's Lukas Jutkiewicz has scored five goals in his last two at St Andrew's and is worth betting to find the net.

Jutkiewicz, who set up Che Adams for his winner at Stoke on Saturday, is in good form, rather like his club. Reading beat Millwall 3-1 at the weekend but the pressure on boss Paul Clement is still immense.

Recommendation
L Jutkiewicz anytime scorer
1pt 15-8 bet365

Middlesbrough v Rotherham

Table-toppers Boro have conceded two goals in six home league games, while strugglers Rotherham have only scored two goals in six away matches and have lost the lot.

Since a 0-0 draw Wolves in April 2016, the Millers have lost 28 and drawn the other two of their 30 Sky Bet Championship away games.

Recommendation
Middlesbrough-Middlesbrough double result
2pts 23-20 Coral, Ladbrokes

Millwall v Wigan

Wigan head for London buoyed by a superb win against West Brom but it’s their away form which is a concern. They’ve lost five of six road trips, losing to nil in the last four.

The Latics are the lowest scorers in the top half and seven of their last nine have produced two goals or fewer.

Recommendation
One or both teams not to score
1pt 21-20 Coral, Ladbrokes

QPR v Sheffield Wednesday

Wednesday’s only three wins since the end of August have been on their travels which gives them a decent chance at QPR.

Rangers have improved after a dismal start but both these sides concede too many goals. Both teams have scored in all but one of Wednesday’s 13 fixtures.

Recommendation
Both teams to score & over 2.5 goals
1pt 11-8 BoyleSports, Coral

Sheffield United v Stoke

Sheffield United's four-match winning run ended at Derby but they merit clear favouritism against Stoke. There is no consistency from the Potters, whose only away win – at Norwich – was followed by an awful home loss to Birmingham.

Expect a United win and also corners. United average 7.3 per game, Stoke six.

Recommendation
Sheffield Utd
1pt Evs general

Swansea v Blackburn

It’s just not happening for Swansea, who have failed to score in seven of their last 11 and can’t sustain any sort of a challenge.

Blackburn are unbeaten against bottom-half opponents and Saturday’s 2-1 win against Leeds must have sent their self-belief through the roof.

Recommendation
Blackburn
1pt 13-5 bet365
