Championship stats and tips

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

Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since West Bromwich Albion’s joyous followers watched their team lose in the Championship. E. Ramsay’s squad is now unbeaten in 6 matches, and he will be telling them that they can keep that streak running against Millwall at The Hawthorns on Friday night. Top odds of 1.36 are available to back West Bromwich Albion to avoid defeat yet again.

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

If you fancy a thriller 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 more than 2 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 H. Pedersen's men could ruin the spectacle.

Norwich v Ipswich - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under

We have seen 3 goals or less in every one of Norwich City's last 13 Championship matches. As they go head to head with K. McKenna's Ipswich Town at Carrow Road on Saturday, the smart money should be backing another low-scoring affair.

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

Bristol City have found something of a bogey team in Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have met 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 enjoyed meeting Charlton Athletic in the Championship recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. N. Jones will be doing all he can to turn the tide, 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, goals have been the order of the day. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the King Power Stadium crowd could be in for another nail-biter on Saturday afternoon.

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

It has been a dreadful run of results for Portsmouth and their fans, with their last Championship success now coming 8 matches ago. Boss J. Mousinho simply must find a remedy, and quickly. Will Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?

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

Supporters travelling to The Kassam Stadium this Saturday to watch Oxford United and Watford might already be worrying about a boring afternoon, and who could blame them? M. Bloomfield's players have played their part in 5 goalless draws this season, the most of any team in the Championship. Will either side find the net? You can bet against it at leading odds of 9.00.

Sheff Utd v Hull - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Hull City's recent games in the Championship have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been too long since S. Jakirović's side provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been under 4.5 goals in every one of their last 8 games.

Southampton v Derby - Double Chance - home win or draw

Derby County have consistently struggled against Southampton in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 5 occasions since 2008, and Southampton have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at St. Mary's Stadium could be a tricky one for J. Eustace & co.

Stoke v Blackburn - Both Teams To Score - no

Going on form alone, we can back at least one goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at bet365 Stadium on Saturday, as M. Robins and M. O'Neill's sides clash. Stoke City have had the most fixtures where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this season - 24 out of 41 played. Both gaffers will just be praying it isn't their team that fails to register.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Tipsters and fans alike will be praying for a deluge of goals when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town face off on Tuesday night in the Championship. J. Mousinho and K. McKenna's teams know how to score at this level, and our smart members have faith in them to illustrate that at Fratton Park. 5 of them have backed there to be 3 goals or more in total. 2.20 is the top price among the UK's top bookmakers for that bet, and it could well be one to watch.

Portsmouth v Leicester - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Leicester City and Portsmouth could warrant a closer look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both clubs have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.

Leicester v Hull - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Leicester City and Hull City could be worth a look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both clubs have found the net. That's the highest number in the Championship.
