Championship stats and tips

Bristol C v Leicester - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Leicester City's recent Championship outings have been brimming with goalmouth drama. Each of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Wednesday against Bristol City may well provide more of the same. Neutrals will be hoping that M. Cifuentes Corvillo and G. Struber send their sides out to push forward again.

Derby v Millwall - Both Teams To Score - yes

Derby County followers have become used to entertainment at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both sides having scored in all of their last 7 matches. Millwall on Wednesday evening could be another ding-dong battle.

Ipswich v Stoke - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Ipswich Town and Stoke City have played out a number of cagey affairs in recent years. With each of their last 8 Championship clashes seeing under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by K. McKenna and M. Robins may be in for a tough evening.

Hull v Wrexham - Double Chance - away win or draw

P. Parkinson and his Wrexham troops have found a convenient habit of taking something from just about every Championship game they play. They're unbeaten in 9 in the Championship now, so S. Jakirović and his Hull City charges will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at KCOM Stadium on Wednesday.

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

West Bromwich Albion simply have not been able to find a way past Sheffield United in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have played on 5 occasions since 2022, and Sheffield United have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at The Hawthorns could be a really difficult one for R. Mason & co.

Norwich v Southampton - Both Teams To Score - yes

Supporters at Carrow Road will be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and rightly so if Southampton's recent record is anything to go by. Both teams have found the net in 15 of their 20 Championship matches this season, more than any side in the competition.

Coventry v Bristol C - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Coventry City and Bristol City could be one to watch. F. Lampard's team lead the Championship in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 14 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from G. Struber's men could prevent more of the same.

Leicester v Ipswich - Double Chance - home win or draw

Ipswich Town simply have not been able to find a way past Leicester City in the league in recent years. The two clubs have played on 6 occasions since 2013, and Leicester City have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at King Power Stadium could be a really difficult one for K. McKenna & co.

Millwall v Hull - Double Chance - away win or draw

Millwall have consistently struggled against Hull City in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and Hull City have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at The Den could be a tricky one for A. Neil & co.

Wrexham v Watford - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Wrexham have had lots of chances to test that theory this campaign. 13 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Gracia Carlos and his Watford side be able to inject goals into this match on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

Sheff Wed v Derby - Double Chance - home win or draw

Derby County simply have not been able to find a way past Sheffield Wednesday in the league in recent years. The two clubs have played on 6 occasions since 2021, and Sheffield Wednesday have remained unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Hillsborough could be another hard one for J. Eustace & co.

Swansea v Wrexham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Wrexham have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 13 of their side's matches in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will A. Sheehan and his Swansea City team be capable of adding some spice into this clash on Friday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

Preston v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming game between Norwich City and Preston North End could be the one for you. L. Manning's side have lost 8 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.
