Championship stats and tips

M'Boro v Millwall - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Millwall's recent outings in the Championship have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since A. Neil's charges provided their supporters with one of those games that has you waxing lyrical in the pub afterwards. There have been under 4.5 goals in each of their last 21 games.

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

A home win may seem like an obvious choice here, but KO's notoriously astute users clearly believe it to be the best bet as Birmingham City and Blackburn Rovers clash in the Championship on Friday. A total of 9 have backed it already, with top odds of 1.85 available.

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

Supporting your team home and away can be hard going, and Bristol City’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their club, led by R. Hodgson, is now winless in their previous 5 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Friday afternoon. Backing opposition boss N. Jones to add to their misery by leading his lads to either a win or draw can be bet on at top odds of 1.44.

Leicester v Preston - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at King Power Stadium may be anticipating plenty goalmouth action on Friday, and with good reason if Leicester City's recent record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 29 of their 39 Championship fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.

Norwich v Portsmouth - Win / Draw / Win - home win

This season in particular, Norwich City's dedicated fans have come to expect a lot from their team and, in the opinion of KO's tipsters, they may not be disappointed on Friday afternoon. 10 of those bettors are betting that P. Clement's side will emerge victorious as J. Mousinho's Portsmouth visit Carrow Road. Will they be proved right? Only time will tell.

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

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Friday afternoon, then the clash between Hull City and Oxford United could be the one for you. S. Jakirović's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 26 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from M. Bloomfield's men could ruin the spectacle.

QPR v Watford - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Loftus Road Stadium is the backdrop as Watford and Queens Park Rangers go head-to-head on Friday afternoon, in what could well be a tight affair. E. Still's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any side in the competition - 12 in 39 outings. An extension of that record is available at 4.33.

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

As we all know, Sheffield United's loyal followers expect high standards from their side and, according to our users, they may not be disappointed on Friday afternoon. 6 of our bettors are tipping that C. Wilder's team will claim victory as Vitor Matos's Swansea City visit Bramall Lane. Will you be backing the same?

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

Evidentally a lot of our tipsters have a resounding belief in M. Robins and his chances of delivering a win for Stoke City on Friday afternoon. 10 have backed him to guide his team to win against Sheffield Wednesday. Hopefully the home boss doesn't let them down.

West Brom v Wrexham - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under

There have been 3 goals or less in each of West Bromwich Albion's last 11 Championship games. As they go head to head with P. Parkinson's Wrexham at The Hawthorns on Friday, the smart money may well be backing more of the same.

Coventry v Derby - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

J. Eustace won't be looking forward to going up against Coventry City in the Championship on Friday. F. Lampard's side have led at halftime and gone on to secure the win at final whistle more frequently than any other club in the the Championship this term - 14 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a long night for Derby County, and that backing Coventry City in the halftime fulltime market could be a great shout at odds of 2.40.

Ipswich v Birmingham - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Ipswich Town and Birmingham City have met in the Championship, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have found the net in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the Portman Road crowd could be in for another nail-biter on Monday afternoon.

Sheff Wed v Leicester - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming game between Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday could warrant a closer look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this term in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.

Hull v Coventry - Both Teams To Score & Result - away

Hull City will be concerned that 1 goal probably won't be enough to claim victory over Coventry City on Monday night. F. Lampard's men have the best record in the Championship when it comes to winning games in which both teams are on the scoresheet (13 of their 39 games), so defence first might be the only viable route for S. Jakirović and his Hull City men at KCOM Stadium.

Leicester v Swansea - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Leicester City and Swansea City could warrant a closer look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town meet on Tuesday evening in the Championship. J. Mousinho and K. McKenna's squads are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and our hive of members believe they will again at Fratton Park. 5 of them have saved a bet the game to have at least 3 goals in total. 2.10 is the most-enticing price available for their tip, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.
