Championship stats and tips

Saturday 3rd May

Bristol C v Preston - Win / Draw / Win - home win

This season in particular, Bristol City's loyal supporters have big expectations of their team and, according to our users, they may not be disappointed on Saturday lunch time. 29 of our users are predicting that Liam Manning's side will claim victory as Paul Heckingbottom's Preston North End visit Ashton Gate. Will you be backing the same?

Burnley v Millwall - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Millwall have had too many chances to test that theory this term. 32 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Scott Parker and his Burnley side be able to inject goalmouth action into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?

Coventry v M'Boro - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There are some strong feelings about this match within our betting community, and they've put their money where their mouth is. On Saturday, 27 have opted to back Coventry City to win against Middlesbrough at Ricoh Arena. With odds of 2.10 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be praying Frank Kramer inspires his troops and delivers that all-important result.

Derby v Stoke - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There are some strong feelings about this match within our betting community, and they've put their money where their mouth is. On Saturday, 26 have opted to back Derby County to get the win versus Stoke City at Pride Park Stadium. Taking advantage of best odds of 2.05 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be keeping fingers crossed that John Coleman inspires his troops and claims that all-important home win.

Norwich v Cardiff - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Carrow Road may be anticipating goals galore on Saturday, and they're right to, if Norwich City's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 29 of their 45 Championship fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.

Plymouth v Leeds - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Leeds United have enjoyed success against Plymouth Argyle in the Championship of late, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. Leonid Kuchuk will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while D. Farke will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday lunch time.

Portsmouth v Hull - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday lunch time, then the clash between Portsmouth and Hull City could be one to watch. J. Mousinho's team lead the Championship in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 28 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from Ruben Albes's men could prevent more of the same.

Sunderland v QPR - Double Chance - home win or draw

Queens Park Rangers have found something of a bogey team in Sunderland in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have met on 5 occasions since 2022, and Sunderland have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Stadium of Light could be a tricky one for Martí Cifuentes Corvillo & co.

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

A home win may seem like an obvious choice here, but KO's notoriously astute users clearly believe it to be the best bet as Swansea City and Oxford United clash in the Championship on Saturday. No less than 18 have saved that bet on the site, with highest odds of 1.65 catching their eye.

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

Sheffield Wednesday have consistently struggled against Watford in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 8 occasions since 2014, and Watford have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Vicarage Road could be a tricky one for D. Röhl & co.

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

Luton Town would never admit to aiming for anything but victory in a match, but clearly KO's members believe they're capable meet those lofty aims right now, as 13 of them are backing Matt Gray and his side to get the away win when they visit West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns in the Championship on Saturday lunch time. What a fabulous result that would be should it come through, for the visitors and our bettors alike. If you fancied placing the same bet, 2.30 is today's price.
