Championship stats and tips

Saturday 2nd May

Blackburn v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw

What a dismal succession of results for Leicester City and their faithful followers, with their last Championship win now coming 8 games ago. Boss G. Rowett simply must find a solution, and sooner rather than later. Will Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?

Bristol C v Stoke - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over

5 of KickOff's members think this clash between Bristol City and Stoke City will produce 2 goals at least. It may not be one for the ages, but there should be more than enough to keep both the Ashton Gate die-hardsentertained

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

Evidentally a lot of our tipsters have a resounding belief in J. Eustace and his managerial skills, and ability to claim a win for Derby County on Saturday lunch time. 9 have predicted him to guide his lads to emerge victorious from their encounter with Sheffield United. It's all eyes on the home boss now to see if he can indeed deliver.

Hull v Norwich - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over

9 of KO's bettors think this encounter between Hull City and Norwich City will feature over 1.5 goals. It may not be one for the ages, but there should be plenty to keep both the KCOM Stadium die-hardsentertained

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

There is clearly a lot of faith within KO's tipsters in K. McKenna and his chances of delivering a win for Ipswich Town on Saturday lunch time. 25 have bet on him to propel his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Queens Park Rangers. Hopefully the home boss doesn't let them down.

Millwall v Oxford Utd - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Thanks to recent results, Millwall's loyal fans have big expectations of their club and, according to KO's tipsters, they may just be going home happy on Saturday lunch time. 11 of those tipsters are predicting that A. Neil's side will claim victory as M. Bloomfield's Oxford United visit The Den. Will they be proved right? Only time will tell.

Portsmouth v Birmingham - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under

There have been 3 goals or less in every one of Birmingham City's last 10 Championship outings. As they clash with J. Mousinho's Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Saturday, the smart money may well be backing more of the same.

Preston v Southampton - Double Chance - away win or draw

W. Still and his Southampton side have developed a useful knack of getting something from just about every Championship fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 18 in the Championship now, so P. Heckingbottom and his Preston North End side will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Deepdale on Saturday.

Sheff Wed v West Brom - Double Chance - away win or draw

Avoiding defeat away from home is not an easy thing to do but, according to KickOff's bettors that's exactly what E. Ramsay's players will do when they travel to play Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday at Hillsborough. 5 are backing them to draw or win from H. Pedersen's troops

Swansea v Charlton - Both Teams To Score - yes

Charlton Athletic supporters have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their side plays in the Championship, with both sides having scored in each of their last 6 games. Swansea City on Saturday lunch time may well be another ding-dong battle.

Watford v Coventry - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by Watford boss E. Still on Saturday. His team faces Coventry City having lost each of their last 4 Championship games.

Wrexham v M'Boro - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

P. Parkinson won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Middlesbrough in the Championship on Saturday. K. Hellberg's side have been winning at the break and gone on to claim victory at FT more often than any other side in the the Championship this term - 16 times in total. That record suggests there's every chance of it being a tough lunch time for Wrexham, and that backing Middlesbrough in the HT FT market could be a smart move at odds of 4.00.

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.
