Championship stats and tips

M'Boro v Ipswich - Double Chance - away win or draw

A satisfyingly long time has passed since Ipswich Town’s joyous fans watched their lads get beaten in the Championship. Kieran McKenna’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 games, and he'll be expecting that they can keep going against Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Friday night. Top odds of 1.44 are available to back Ipswich Town to avoid defeat yet again.

Oxford Utd v Derby - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Derby County have played out some low-scoring matches in the Championship recently. There have been under 2.5 goals in all of J. Eustace's side's last 5 outings and, with Gary Rowett and his Oxford United ahead on Saturday lunch time, their strikers really should be putting in some more practice in the build-up.

QPR v Millwall - Double Chance - home win or draw

We all dream of our club suddenly becoming invincible, and for some fans that dream comes true. It has been weeks since Queens Park Rangers’s joyous followers watched their lads get beaten in the Championship. Julien Stephan’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 matches, and he'll be telling them that they can extend that run against Millwall at Loftus Road Stadium on Saturday lunch time. Best odds of 1.48 are available to back Queens Park Rangers the double chance market.

Southampton v Swansea - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at St. Mary's Stadium will be banking on action at both ends on Saturday, and they're right to, if Southampton's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 8 of their 9 Championship fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.

Birmingham v Hull - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Hull City and Birmingham City could be the one for you. Sergej Jakirović's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 7 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from C. Davies's men could ruin the spectacle.

Charlton v Sheff Wed - Double Chance - away win or draw

Charlton Athletic simply have not been able to find a way past Sheffield Wednesday in the league in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 7 occasions since 2016, and Sheffield Wednesday have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at The Valley could be a tricky one for Nathan Jones & co.

Coventry v Blackburn - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Evidentally a lot of our tipsters have a resounding belief in Frank Lampard and his ability to deliver a win for Coventry City on Saturday afternoon. 24 have backed him to propel his lads to beat Blackburn Rovers. Hopefully the home boss doesn't let them down.

Norwich v Bristol C - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be hard going, and Norwich City’s dogged old follows know that only too well at the moment. Their club, led by Liam Manning, is now winless in their previous 5 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Bristol City at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition gaffer Gerhard Struber to add another to that list by guiding his side to anything other than a defeat can be backed at best odds of 1.53.

Sheff Utd v Watford - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

Sheffield United will be hoping not to add to the 4 matches they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this season when they play Watford on Saturday. Chris Wilder's team already top the rest of the Championship in that category, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss Javier Gracia Carlos , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Stoke v Wrexham - Both Teams To Score - yes

Wrexham supporters have become used to entertainment at each end when their side plays in the Championship, with both sides having scored in every one of their last 5 games. Stoke City on Saturday afternoon could be another goal-fest.

West Brom v Preston - Double Chance - away win or draw

Paul Heckingbottom and his Preston North End troops have found a handy knack of getting something from almost every Championship fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in the Championship now, so R. Mason and his West Bromwich Albion charges will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

Leicester v Portsmouth - Double Chance - home win or draw

Weeks have passed since Leicester City’s joyous fans watched their team suffer defeat in the Championship. Martí Cifuentes Corvillo’s men are now unbeaten in 7 games, and he'll be hopeful that they can extend that run against Portsmouth at King Power Stadium on Saturday evening. Top odds of 1.17 are available to back Leicester City the double chance market.

Derby v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming clash between Norwich City and Derby County might well warrant a closer look. Liam Manning's side have lost 4 games this campaign in which both sides have scored. That's the highest number in the Championship.

Swansea v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming clash between Norwich City and Swansea City might well be worth a look. Liam Manning's side have lost 4 games this campaign in which both teams have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.
