EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

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

Our buzzing hive of football tipsters clearly has a lot of optimism around P. da Silva Peixoto and his chances of delivering a win for Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday night. 5 have backed him to propel his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Blackburn Rovers. Will he repay the trust placed in him? We'll know by the end of the 90.

Bolton v Preston - Double Chance - away win or draw

Bolton Wanderers simply have not been able to find a way past Preston North End in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have played on 6 occasions since 2015, and Preston North End have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Macron Stadium could be a really difficult one for S. Schumacher & co.

Bristol C v Millwall - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Millwall's loyal fans have now waited 30 matches to see their club deliver one. Certainly they could be forgiven for craving some proper excitement by now. Will the run be broken on Saturday afternoon, as they face M. Skubala's Bristol City at Ashton Gate? With odds of 1.11 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookmakers certainly don’t think so.

Charlton v Derby - Both Teams To Score - yes

Charlton Athletic supporters have been spoilt with action at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both sides having scored in each of their last 7 games. Derby County on Saturday afternoon may well be another thriller.

M'Boro v Lincoln - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Expect entertainment, excitement and plenty of goalmouth action when Middlesbrough and Lincoln City clash on Saturday afternoon in the Championship. K. Hellberg and 's XIs are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and our hive of bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Riverside Stadium. 5 of them have saved a bet the game to have at least 3 goals in total. 1.67 is the highest price available for that tip, and our tipsters won't be the only ones taking it at that price.

Norwich v West Brom - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Portsmouth v QPR - Win / Draw / Win - home win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Queens Park Rangers boss J. Stéphan on Saturday. His players face Portsmouth having lost each of their last 4 Championship matches.

Stoke v Swansea - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Stoke City boss M. Robins on Saturday. His players face Swansea City having been beaten in each of their last 4 Championship matches.

Sheff Utd v Birmingham - Double Chance - away win or draw

C. Davies and his Birmingham City side have gained a handy knack of claiming something from almost every Championship match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in the Championship now, so C. Wilder and his Sheffield United team will need to be on top of their game if they're going to get anything at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Watford v Southampton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

We all love a thriller, and we might just get another when Watford and Southampton go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon in the Championship. A. Dionisi and 's squads are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KO's well-informed users believe they will again at Vicarage Road. 5 of them have saved a bet the match to contain over 2.5 goals during the 90 mins. 1.73 is the top price in our betslip for that tip, and there will be a lot of happy faces around if it does deliver.

Burnley v West Ham - Double Chance - away win or draw

Being a football fan can be draining, and Burnley’s dogged old follows know that better than most at the moment. Their club, led by N. Hayen, is now winless in their previous 12 Championship matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against West Ham United at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon. Backing opposition boss N. Simões Espírito Santo to extend the run by guiding his team to anything other than a defeat can be backed at best odds of 1.40.

Cardiff v Wrexham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Cardiff City and Wrexham face off on Monday night in the Championship. B. Barry-Murphy and P. Parkinson's sides are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and KO's well-informed bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Cardiff City Stadium. 5 of them are betting on the match to contain 3 goals or more before full time. 1.73 is the most-enticing price we've found for their bet, and it's definitely one we like the look for too.

Birmingham v Bristol C - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming clash between Birmingham City and Bristol City might well be the one for you. C. Davies's side have lost 0 games this campaign in which both clubs have scored. That's a record in the Championship.
