Championship stats and tips

Sunday 4th January

Birmingham v Coventry - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

C. Davies won't be relishing facing Coventry City in the Championship on Sunday. F. Lampard's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to win at final whistle more frequently than any other team in the the Championship this season - 9 times in total. That record suggests it may be a difficult lunch time for Birmingham City, and that backing Coventry City in the halftime fulltime market could be a smart move at odds of 4.33.

QPR v Sheff Wed - Double Chance - away win or draw

Queens Park Rangers have found something of a bogey team in Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have played on 5 occasions since 2023, and Sheffield Wednesday have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Loftus Road Stadium could be a tricky one for J. Stéphan & co.

Blackburn v Charlton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Blackburn Rovers have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this term. 14 of their side's matches in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will N. Jones and his Charlton Athletic side be able to inject spice into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be more of the same?

Derby v Wrexham - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw

Pride Park Stadium is the venue as Derby County and Wrexham clash on Sunday afternoon, in what could prove to be a real crowd-pleaser. J. Eustace's side have the highest number of BTTS + draws of any team in the division - 8 in 25 games. An extension of that record has best odds of 4.75.

Hull v Watford - Double Chance - away win or draw

Hull City have consistently struggled against Watford in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2023, and Watford have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at KCOM Stadium could be a tricky one for S. Jakirović & co.

M'Boro v Southampton - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Riverside Stadium will be banking on plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and rightly so if Southampton's past record is anything to go by. Both teams have scored in 20 of their 25 Championship fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.

Norwich v Stoke - Double Chance - home win or draw

Stoke City simply have not been able to find a way past Norwich City in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 10 occasions since 2019, and Norwich City have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Carrow Road could be another hard one for M. Robins & co.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Double Chance - away win or draw

Portsmouth simply have not been able to find a way past Ipswich Town in the league in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2021, and Ipswich Town have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Fratton Park could be another hard one for J. Mousinho & co.

Monday 5th January

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

West Bromwich Albion simply have not been able to find a way past Leicester City in the league in recent years. The two clubs have met on 8 occasions since 2017, and Leicester City have remained unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at King Power Stadium could be a really difficult one for R. Mason & co.

Tuesday 3rd February

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

Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday clash on Saturday afternoon in the Championship. V. Ismaël and H. Pedersen's XIs have shown they know their way to goal, and our smart members believe they will again at Ewood Park. 6 of them are tipping the fixture to deliver at least 3 goals before full time. 1.80 is the top price in our betslip for this suggestion, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.

How to Choose Your Championship Football Bet

Betting on Sky Bet Championship fixtures demands more homework and patience than any other league. This is due to a number of reasons.

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.
