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.

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.

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.
