Championship stats and tips
Birmingham v Norwich - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Norwich City have enjoyed success against Birmingham City in the Championship recently, with a run of 6 straight wins against them. Tony Mowbray will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while D. Wagner will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday lunch time.
Coventry v QPR - Double Chance - away win or draw
Supporting your team home and away can be a thankless task, and Coventry City’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their club, led by Mark Robins, is now winless in their previous 5 Championship matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Queens Park Rangers at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday lunch time. Backing opposition boss Martí Cifuentes Corvillo to extend the run by leading his side to either a win or draw can be backed at top odds of 1.67.
Ipswich v Huddersfield - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Portman Road may be banking on action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Huddersfield Town's past record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 30 of their 45 Championship matches this season, more than any side in the competition.
Leeds v Southampton - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Unsurpisingly, Leeds United's loyal fans have big expectations of their side and, in the opinion of KO's bettors, they may just have them met on Saturday lunch time. 12 of these bettors are predicting that D. Farke's XI will emerge victorious as Russell Martin's Southampton visit Elland Road. Here's hoping they're proved right!
Leicester v Blackburn - Win / Draw / Win - home win
There is clearly a lot of faith within KO's tipsters in E. Maresca and his ability to deliver a win for Leicester City on Saturday lunch time. 12 have bet on him to propel his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Blackburn Rovers. Will he repay the trust placed in him? We'll know by the end of the 90.
M'Boro v Watford - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're especially proud of, but Watford currently lead all opposition in the Championship when it comes to fixtures where they've been drawing at both halftime and fulltime this term, with their tally now at 13 in 45 matches. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line versus Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Saturday, in a clash that could see yet another stalemate.
Plymouth v Hull - Double Chance - away win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Hull City’s happy followers watched their team get beaten in the Championship. L. Rosenior’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 outings, and he will be telling them that they can keep that streak running against Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday lunch time. Best value odds of 1.33 can be grabbed to back Hull City to either win or draw.
Rotherham v Cardiff - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a miserable run of results for Rotherham United and their supporters, with their last Championship victory now coming 5 games ago. Boss Leam Richardson simply must find a solution, and quickly. Will Cardiff City at AESSEAL New York Stadium on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Stoke v Bristol C - Double Chance - away win or draw
Liam Manning and his Bristol City troops have developed a useful way of claiming something from almost every Championship match they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in the Championship now, so Steven Schumacher and his Stoke City side will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at bet365 Stadium on Saturday.
Sunderland v Sheff Wed - Double Chance - away win or draw
D. Röhl and his Sheffield Wednesday team have developed a convenient knack of getting something from just about every Championship fixture they play.

Swansea v Millwall - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Millwall's recent outings in the Championship have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been a while since Neil Harris's charges treated their fans to the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been no more than 4 goals in each of their last 24 outings.
