Championship stats and tips

Saturday 2nd May

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

We've got some serial winners signed up to KickOff; people who don't like losing and are careful to avoid it at all costs. On Saturday, 5 have seen fit to tip Blackburn Rovers to beat Leicester City at Ewood Park. With odds of 2.20 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be hoping beyond hope M. O'Neill gets his tactics right and delivers that much-needed victory.

Bristol C v Stoke - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

We may have a high-scoring affair on our hands when Bristol City and Stoke City meet on Saturday lunch time in the Championship. R. Hodgson and M. Robins's teams are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KickOff's hive of tipsters fancy them to demonstrate that at Ashton Gate. 7 of them are betting on the match to contain over 2.5 goals before full time. 1.62 is the most-enticing price among the UK's top bookmakers for that bet, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.

Derby v Sheff Utd - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Sheffield United and their supporters could be forgiven for feeling apprehensive as they head to Pride Park Stadium. Home victories occur regularly in the Championship, and most would expect Derby County and their manager J. Eustace will deliver another one as they face C. Wilder's charges on Saturday lunch time. 16 of our members have bet on the home win, with best odds of 1.83, and KickOff's predictive algorithm places a 45.65% chance of them celebrating another win come full time.

Hull v Norwich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Hull City and Norwich City clash on Saturday lunch time in the Championship. S. Jakirović and P. Clement's sides have ample talent in attacking areas, and our well-informed members have faith in them to illustrate that at KCOM Stadium. 8 of them are tipping the match to contain at least 3 goals in total. 1.60 is the top price among the UK's top bookmakers for their suggestion, and it could well be one to watch.

Ipswich v QPR - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There are some wise old heads with plenty of experience in KickOff's community of football bettors. On Saturday, 53 have backed Ipswich Town to claim victory over Queens Park Rangers at Portman Road. With odds of 1.33 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be hoping beyond hope K. McKenna gets his tactics right and delivers that invaluable home win.

Millwall v Oxford Utd - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

It should be goals, goals, goals when Millwall and Oxford United clash on Saturday lunch time in the Championship. A. Neil and M. Bloomfield's teams know how to score at this level, and our smart members are backing them to show that at The Den. 7 of them are tipping there to be at least 3 goals during the 90 mins. 1.62 is the highest price among the UK's top bookmakers for this bet, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.

Portsmouth v Birmingham - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under

Birmingham City travel to Portsmouth for this Saturday lunch time fixture. 6 of KickOff's tipsters think it will end up with 3 goals or less. That could mean anything from a bore draw to an entertaining, ding-dong 2-1 win for one side or another. It does rule out a true humdinger though.

Preston v Southampton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Tipsters and fans alike will be praying for a deluge of goals when Preston North End and Southampton meet on Saturday lunch time in the Championship. P. Heckingbottom and W. Still's teams know how to score at this level, and our smart users fancy them to demonstrate that at Deepdale. 8 of them have backed the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more during the 90 mins. 1.60 is the most-enticing price we've found for that bet, and it could well be one to watch.

Sheff Wed v West Brom - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Neutrals might want to give a wide berth to this Saturday's encounter between Sheffield Wednesday and West Bromwich Albion, that's if our bettors have got it right. They aren't predicting many goals, with 5 of them backing this one to finish with under 2.5 total goals scored.

Swansea v Charlton - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There is clearly a lot of faith within KO's tipsters in Vitor Matos and his ability to deliver victory for Swansea City on Saturday lunch time. 8 have backed him to propel his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Charlton Athletic. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?

Watford v Coventry - Double Chance - home or away win

When Watford and Coventry City clash on Saturday, KickOff's members think that one side will emerge victorious. Whether that's because neither side will be happy with a stalemate, and will keep looking for a winner right up to full time, or because once a team goes behind they won't be able to come back, 7 of our tipsters have picked either home or away in the double chance market.

Wrexham v M'Boro - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

It should be goals, goals, goals when Wrexham and Middlesbrough meet on Saturday lunch time in the Championship. P. Parkinson and K. Hellberg's squads have shown they know their way to goal, and our hive of bettors are backing them to show that at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham. 10 of them are betting on the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more in total. 1.67 is the top price we've found for their tip, and it's definitely one we like the look for too.

How to Choose Your Championship Football Bet

This compares to other teams in the league which have total turnovers equating to less than £5m. The Championship is one of the toughest leagues in the world with a high number of fixtures and the biggest prize in football; promotion to the Premier League.
