Championship stats and tips

Friday 9th October

West Ham v QPR - Double Chance - home win or draw

Happy days! It has now been a long while since West Ham United’s joyous followers watched their lads suffer defeat in the Championship. N. Simões Espírito Santo’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 matches, and he'll be full of belief that they can keep going against Queens Park Rangers at London Stadium on Friday night. Best value odds of 1.17 can be taken advantage of to back West Ham United the double chance market.

Saturday 10th October

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

It has been a dismal succession of results for Charlton Athletic and their supporters, with their last Championship success now coming 5 matches ago. Boss N. Jones simply must find a remedy, and quickly. Will Bristol City at The Valley on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?

Swansea v Norwich - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over

Norwich City have been the Championship's entertainers this season, at least in terms of producing goal-filled games. No other team comes close to their record of having taken part in 2 games with at least 6 goals scored this term. Can they bring their tally to 3 when they face Swansea City on Saturday lunch time? With odds of 10.00 available, it might be worth a go.

West Brom v Birmingham - Both Teams To Score - yes

Birmingham City supporters have come to expect drama at each end when their side plays in the Championship, with both teams having found the net in every one of their last 7 outings. West Bromwich Albion on Saturday lunch time should be another goal-fest.

Blackburn v Cardiff - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City could be one to watch. T. Mowbray's team lead the Championship in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 7 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from B. Barry-Murphy's men could keep the score down.

Bolton v Stoke - Double Chance - away win or draw

Happy days! It has now been a long while since Stoke City’s merry fans watched their team get beaten in the Championship. M. Robins’s men are now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he'll be full of belief that they can keep going against Bolton Wanderers at Macron Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Best odds of 1.50 can be taken advantage of to back Stoke City to avoid defeat yet again.

Derby v Wrexham - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Games with 5 goals or more don’t come around every day, but Derby County's loyal supporters have now waited 9 games to see their club take part in one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Will that much-needed goal-fest finally come around on Saturday afternoon, as they face P. Parkinson's Wrexham at Pride Park Stadium? With odds of 1.10 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookies clearly have their doubts.

M'Boro v Wolves - Double Chance - home win or draw

Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Middlesbrough’s merry supporters watched their lads suffer defeat in the Championship. K. Hellberg’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 games, and he will be expecting that they can keep going against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Top odds of 1.40 are available to back Middlesbrough the double chance market.

Preston v Millwall - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Sheff Utd v Lincoln - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Lincoln City have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this season. 5 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will C. Wilder and his Sheffield United side be capable of adding some goals into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

Watford v Burnley - Both Teams To Score - yes

Burnley fans have become used to action at each end when their side plays in league, with both teams having scored in every one of their last 9 games. Watford on Saturday afternoon should be another ding-dong battle.

How to Choose Your Championship Football Bet

Betting on Sky Bet Championship fixtures demands more homework and patience than any other league. This is due to a number of reasons.

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.
