EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

Blackburn v Ipswich - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Away wins may not be the norm, but our wise old set of bettors are fully predicting one as K. McKenna and his Ipswich Town team visit Ewood Park on Tuesday evening. 8 of these tipsters are betting that V. Ismaël's Blackburn Rovers will be subjected to defeat on their own patch. It's a big shout, but the crowd has spoken.

Charlton v Portsmouth - Double Chance - home win or draw

Portsmouth have consistently struggled against Charlton Athletic in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 6 occasions since 2021, and Charlton Athletic have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at The Valley could be another hard one for J. Mousinho & co.

Derby v Leicester - Both Teams To Score - yes

Derby County followers have come to expect drama at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both teams having found the net in every one of their last 6 games. Leicester City on Saturday lunch time may well be another ding-dong battle.

Watford v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming clash between Norwich City and Watford could be the one for you. L. Manning's side have lost 7 games this season in which both clubs have scored. That's a record in the Championship.

Blackburn v Sheff Wed - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's exactly what must be done by Sheffield Wednesday boss H. Pedersen on Saturday. His team faces Blackburn Rovers having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 Championship games.

Bristol C v Millwall - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans heading to Ashton Gate this Saturday to watch Bristol City and Millwall might already be worrying about a boring afternoon, and who could blame them? G. Struber's men have produced 2 goalless draws this campaign, the highest number of any team in the Championship. Will either side find the net? You can bet against it at best odds of 9.00.

Ipswich v Coventry - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Coventry City and Ipswich Town could be worth checking out. F. Lampard's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 13 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from K. McKenna's men could prevent more of the same.

Preston v Wrexham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Wrexham have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 12 of their side's encounters in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will P. Heckingbottom and his Preston North End team be capable of adding some spice into this match on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

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

Queens Park Rangers simply have not been able to find a way past West Bromwich Albion in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and West Bromwich Albion have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Loftus Road Stadium could be a really difficult one for J. Stéphan & co.

Sheff Utd v Stoke - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can back at least one goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at Bramall Lane on Saturday, as C. Wilder and M. Robins's teams meet. Sheffield United have had the most matches where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this campaign - 11 out of 18 played. Both gaffers will just be hoping it isn't their side that draws a blank.

Southampton v Birmingham - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at St. Mary's Stadium may be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and they're right to, if Southampton's past record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 14 of their 18 Championship fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.

Swansea v Oxford Utd - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Oxford United's recent matches in the Championship have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since G. Rowett's charges treated their fans to the kind of goal-fest we all really want to see. There have been under 4.5 goals in all of their last 16 matches.

Sheff Utd v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Norwich City and Sheffield United might well be the one for you. L. Manning's side have lost 7 games this term in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in the Championship.

Norwich v Southampton - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between Norwich City and Southampton might well warrant a closer look. L. Manning's side have lost 7 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.
