Championship stats and tips

Blackburn v Coventry - Double Chance - away win or draw

Blackburn Rovers simply have not been able to find a way past Coventry City in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 10 occasions since 2021, and Coventry City have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Ewood Park could be a tricky one for M. O'Neill & co.

Derby v Oxford Utd - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Derby County and Oxford United might well be the one for you. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this term in which both teams have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.

Millwall v QPR - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans travelling to The Den this Saturday to watch Queens Park Rangers and Millwall might already be worrying about a tedious lunch time, and rightly so. J. Stéphan's charges have been involved in 6 nil-nils this term, the most of any team in the Championship. Will anyone score? You can bet against it at top odds of 11.00.

Portsmouth v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw

Leicester City have found something of a bogey team in Portsmouth in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have played on 5 occasions since 2010, and Portsmouth have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Fratton Park could be another hard one for G. Rowett & co.

Bristol C v Norwich - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one side to earn a clean sheet at Ashton Gate on Saturday, as R. Hodgson and P. Clement's teams meet. Bristol City have had the most games where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this term - 24 out of 42 played. Both bosses will just be praying it isn't their them that fails to register.

Hull v Birmingham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Hull City and Birmingham City could be one to watch. S. Jakirović's team lead the Championship in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 27 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from C. Davies's men could keep the score down.

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

We all dream of our club suddenly becoming invincible, and for some fans that dream comes true. It has been weeks since West Bromwich Albion’s merry fans watched their lads lose in the Championship. E. Ramsay’s men are now unbeaten in 7 games, and he'll be hopeful that they can extend that run against Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon. Best odds of 1.30 can be grabbed to back West Bromwich Albion to get the win or the draw.

Sheff Wed v Charlton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Charlton Athletic have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 27 of their side's encounters in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will H. Pedersen and his Sheffield Wednesday team be able to inject goals into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Swansea v Southampton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Swansea City have consistently struggled against Southampton in the league in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 5 occasions since 2017, and Southampton have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Liberty Stadium could be a really difficult one for Vitor Matos & co.

Ipswich v M'Boro - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

K. Hellberg won't be too excited about going up against Ipswich Town in the Championship on Sunday. K. McKenna's side have been ahead at the break and gone on to claim victory at FT more frequently than any other team in the the Championship this season - 15 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a tough lunch time for Middlesbrough, and that backing Ipswich Town in the HT FT market would be a great shout at odds of 3.50.
