Monday’s football tips: Bet against BTTS at 23/20 as Coventry battle Ipswich in the Championship

There's a bumper card of EFL football today and the Championship clash between Coventry City and Ipswich Town takes top billing.

The Sky Blues romped eight points clear at the top by edging out Swansea on Boxing Day but could find third-placed Ipswich a tougher nut to crack.

The Tractor Boys have lost just once in their last six outings and a win against the leaders could ignite their own promotion push.

Coventry City vs Ipswich Town top betting tips

The goals have dried up for Coventry of late, with Frank Lampard's men scoring just four times across their last five matches.

Ipswich also played out a 0-0 draw with Millwall in their last outing so it could pay to bet against a thriller.

Under 2.5 goals isn't too shabby a price at 23/25 with BetMGM while betting against BTTS is a bit better at 23/20 with the same firm.

With so much at stake we could see a few cards and over 42.5 booking points pays 11/8 with Betfred.

Middlesbrough vs Hull City

Middlesbrough lost ground on Coventry by dropping two points on Boxing Day and will be desperate to bounce back when Hull City visit the Riverside.

After winning four games in a row, Boro's form dipped over the festive period, with a loss to Bristol City followed by a stalemate against Blackburn.

They still sit second though and can boost their promotions hopes with win, given first plays third elsewhere in the Championship.

It won't be easy against Hull, though, with the Tigers winning four of their last six games to move up to fourth.

The half-time draw looks decent value at 7/5 with BetMGM while backing most goals to come after the break pays 23/20 at William Hill.

Tigers striker Oli McBurnie always puts himself about and the Scotland international is 18/5 at Ladbrokes to pick up his fifth card this season.

Norwich City vs Watford

Norwich have found a bit of form at Carrow Road and will be hoping a win at home to Watford can lift them out of the EFL Championship drop zone today.

Former Rangers boss Philippe Clement seems to be doing a decent job with the Canaries, having lost just two of his eight games at the helm.

Norwich have won their last three at home and turning Carrow Road into a fortress will be crucial to their hopes of moving up the table.

Watford's form is even better though, going five without defeat, and wins in both their festive fixtures have left the Hornets sitting just outside the play-off places.

Going for goals looks like the best move here and combining BTTS with over 2.5 strikes pays 11/10 at William Hill.

Canaries midfielder Kenny McLean is usually at the heart of the action and he's a decent 7/2 at BetVictor to go into the book.
