Championship stats and tips

Portsmouth v Oxford Utd - Double Chance - away win or draw

Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Portsmouth’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their club, led by J. Mousinho, is now winless in their previous 7 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Oxford United at Fratton Park on Monday lunch time. Backing opposition gaffer M. Bloomfield to add to their misery by leading his lads to a positive result is available at top odds of 1.91.

Millwall v Norwich - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under

We have seen 3 goals or less in each of Norwich City's last 12 Championship games. As they face A. Neil's Millwall at The Den on Monday, those in the know may well be backing more of the same.

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

A satisfyingly long time has passed since West Bromwich Albion’s joyous fans watched their lads suffer defeat in the Championship. E. Ramsay’s boys are now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he'll be expecting that they can keep going against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Monday afternoon. Best value odds of 1.48 can be grabbed to back West Bromwich Albion to either win or draw.

Bristol C v Sheff Utd - Both Teams To Score - yes

Sheffield United followers have come to expect entertainment at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both teams having scored in each of their last 5 outings. Bristol City on Monday afternoon may well be another goal-fest.

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

Armed with our in-depth statistical analysis, KickOff's tipsters are some of the best-informed around. On Monday, 13 have opted to back Derby County to win against Stoke City at Pride Park Stadium. Backing the home win at odds of 1.91 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be hoping beyond hope J. Eustace inspires his troops and delivers that much-needed result.

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

Just as fans always have done, Ipswich Town's loyal followers have come to expect a lot from their club and, according to our bettors, they may not be disappointed on Monday afternoon. 29 of these tipsters are predicting that K. McKenna's XI will emerge victorious as C. Davies's Birmingham City visit Portman Road. Will they be proved right? Only time will tell.

Preston v QPR - Double Chance - away win or draw

Preston North End simply have not been able to find a way past Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have met on 5 occasions since 2023, and Queens Park Rangers have been unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Deepdale could be a tricky one for P. Heckingbottom & co.

Sheff Wed v Leicester - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Leicester City have enjoyed plenty of success on their travels over the years, and our intrepid tipsters evidentally believe they can find more, as 6 of them are backing G. Rowett and his boys to earn away win as they visit Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough in the Championship on Monday afternoon. What a fabulous result that would be should it come through, for the visitors and our bettors alike. If you wanted to place the crowd, 1.55 is today's price.

Watford v Charlton - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There is more support for the home win than any other bet, as Watford and Charlton Athletic clash in the Championship on Monday. No fewer than 5 have bet on it, with highest odds of 1.91 available.

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

It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Middlesbrough's loyal supporters have now been waiting 13 matches to see their side take part in one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Will the run be broken on Monday evening, as they face Vitor Matos's Swansea City at Liberty Stadium? With odds of 0.00 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the UK's leading bookmakers clearly have their doubts.

Hull v Coventry - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Hull City and Coventry City meet on Monday night in the Championship. S. Jakirović and F. Lampard's sides have shown they know their way to goal, and our well-informed tipsters have faith in them to illustrate that at KCOM Stadium. 5 of them have backed the game to have at least 3 goals before full time. 1.80 is the top price in our betslip for that bet, and we can think of much worse places to put your money!

Wrexham v Southampton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

It should be goals, goals, goals when Wrexham and Southampton go head-to-head on Tuesday night in the Championship. P. Parkinson and W. Still's teams are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and KickOff's hive of users believe they will again at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham. 5 of them are betting on the game to have 3 goals or more in total. 1.91 is the highest price in our betslip for that tip, and it's definitely one we like the look for too.

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

West Bromwich Albion have consistently struggled against Millwall in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have played on 9 occasions since 2021, and Millwall have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at The Hawthorns could be another hard one for E. Ramsay & co.

Coventry v Sheff Wed - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday lunch time, then the clash between Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday could be the one for you. F. Lampard's team lead the Championship in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 26 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from H. Pedersen's men could ruin the spectacle.

Leicester v Swansea - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between Leicester City and Swansea City might well be worth a look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this season in which both sides 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.
