Championship stats and tips

West Brom v Millwall - Double Chance - home win or draw

E. Ramsay and his West Bromwich Albion team have gained a useful knack of taking something from just about every Championship match they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in the Championship now, so A. Neil and his Millwall team will have to be at their best if they're going to get anything at The Hawthorns on Friday.

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

There's nothing wrong with keeping it simple, and the members of KickOff, it could be argued, are doing exactly that by backing the home win as Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday clash in the Championship on Saturday. In total 14 have saved that bet on the site, with best odds of 1.15 available.

Norwich v Ipswich - Double Chance - away win or draw

Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Ipswich Town’s happy followers watched their side suffer defeat in the Championship. K. McKenna’s men are now unbeaten in 8 matches, and he will be expecting that they can keep that streak running against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday lunch time. Top odds of 1.40 can be taken advantage of to back Ipswich Town to either win or draw.

QPR v Bristol C - Double Chance - home win or draw

Bristol City simply have not been able to find a way past Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have played on 5 occasions since 2023, and Queens Park Rangers have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Loftus Road Stadium could be another hard one for R. Hodgson & co.

Charlton v Preston - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Preston North End have dominated Charlton Athletic in the Championship of late, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. N. Jones will be desperate to stop the rot, while P. Heckingbottom will be expecting more of the same on Saturday afternoon.

Leicester v Swansea - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Leicester City and Swansea City have met in the league, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both sides have found the net in each of their last 5 meetings, so the King Power Stadium faithful could be in for another classic on Saturday afternoon.

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

What a dreadful succession of results for Portsmouth and their fans, with their last Championship victory now coming 8 games ago. Boss J. Mousinho needs to find a way out, and sooner rather than later. Will Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Saturday provide some relief?

Oxford Utd v Watford - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans heading to The Kassam Stadium this Saturday to watch Oxford United and Watford might already be fearing a long afternoon, and with good reason. M. Bloomfield's players have played their part in 5 goalless draws this season, the most of any team in the Championship. Will anybody break the deadlock? Bet against it at leading odds of 9.00.

Sheff Utd v Hull - Double Chance - away win or draw

What a dismal set of results for Sheffield United and their faithful followers, with their last Championship victory now coming 6 matches ago. Boss C. Wilder simply must find a way out, and preferably right away. Will Hull City at Bramall Lane on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?

Southampton v Derby - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There are some strong feelings about this match within our betting community, and they've put their money where their mouth is. On Saturday, 7 have opted to back Southampton to get the win versus Derby County at St. Mary's Stadium. Taking advantage of best odds of 1.80 from the bookies, they'll be keeping fingers crossed that W. Still gets his tactics right and brings home that all-important home win.

Stoke v Blackburn - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - under

There are some football fans that enjoy the tactical battle of a low-scoring fixture, and they really should keep an eye on Stoke City v Blackburn Rovers. Each of Blackburn Rovers's last 3 Championship outings has had under 1.5 goals, and that streak looks set to continue.

Birmingham v Wrexham - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's what's required of Birmingham City boss C. Davies on Sunday. His players face Wrexham having lost each of their last 3 Championship outings.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

It should be goals, goals, goals when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town go head-to-head on Tuesday night in the Championship. J. Mousinho and K. McKenna's sides are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and our hive of bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Fratton Park. 5 of them have saved a bet the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more before full time. 2.20 is the top price among the UK's top bookmakers for that suggestion, and the fans in the ground will enjoy their afternoon as much as the tipsters if it comes in.
