EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

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

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's exactly what must be done by Norwich City boss P. Clement on Saturday. His team faces Charlton Athletic having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 5 Championship outings.

Portsmouth v Millwall - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Millwall's hardy fans have now had to wait 8 games to see their side take part in one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will the run be broken on Saturday lunch time, as they face J. Mousinho's Portsmouth at Fratton Park? With odds of 1.11 on there being under 4.5 goals, the UK's leading bookmakers certainly don’t think so.

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

Supporting your team home and away can be draining, and Derby County’s long-suffering follows know that better than most at the moment. Their team, led by J. Eustace, is now winless in their previous 7 Championship matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Saturday lunch time. Backing opposition boss C. Wilder to add to their misery by leading his team to either a win or draw is available at best odds of 1.20.

Blackburn v Wrexham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Blackburn Rovers and Wrexham could be one to watch. T. Mowbray's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 9 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from P. Parkinson's men could ruin the spectacle.

Cardiff v Birmingham - Half Time / Full Time - away / away

Anyone looking to bet on the half time/full time market will have noticed the form of Birmingham City. C. Davies's side has been incredibly commanding in recent Championship outings, leading at half time in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at full time. Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon will be one to watch.

Lincoln v Burnley - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Sincil Bank may be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and with good reason if Burnley's past record is to be continued. Both teams have scored in 10 of their 11 Championship fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.

Preston v West Brom - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Top-level football may generally have fewer away wins than home wins, but KO's smart hive of users are absolutely anticipating one as J. Morrison and his West Bromwich Albion side rock up to Deepdale on Saturday afternoon. 5 of those bettors are predicting that G. Alexander's Preston North End will suffer defeat in their own ground. It's a big shout, but the crowd has spoken.

QPR v Swansea - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Swansea City's recent matches in the Championship have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been some time since Vitor Matos's side provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 goals in all of their last 17 games.

Stoke v Bristol C - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Bristol City have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 6 of their side's games in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will M. Robins and his Stoke City side be capable of adding some goals into this match on Saturday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?

West Ham v Southampton - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There is clearly a lot of faith within KO's tipsters in N. Simões Espírito Santo and his chances of delivering a win for West Ham United on Saturday afternoon. 8 have predicted him to guide his team to win against Southampton. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?

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

Unsurpisingly, Wolverhampton Wanderers's adoring supporters have big expectations of their team and, in the opinion of KickOff's users, they may just be going home happy on Saturday afternoon. 13 of those bettors are tipping that P. da Silva Peixoto's side will emerge victorious as A. Dionisi's Watford visit Molineux Stadium. Will you be backing the same?

Burnley v Portsmouth - Both Teams To Score & Result -
