Championship stats and tips
Blackburn v Bristol C - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring games aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Blackburn Rovers have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 20 of their side's games in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will G. Struber and his Bristol City team be able to inject spice into this fixture on Tuesday? Or will it be same old same old?
Hull v Derby - Double Chance - away win or draw
Hull City simply have not been able to find a way past Derby County in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 6 occasions since 2020, and Derby County have been unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at KCOM Stadium could be another hard one for S. Jakirović & co.
M'Boro v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw
Being a football fan can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Leicester City’s long-suffering follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their side, led by M. Cifuentes Corvillo, has now failed to win any of their last 7 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Tuesday evening. Backing opposition manager R. Edwards to add another to that list by guiding his team to a positive result is available at top odds of 1.14.
Swansea v Preston - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Preston North End's long-suffering supporters have now had to wait 15 games to watch their club deliver one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Will the run be broken on Tuesday evening, as they face A. Sheehan's Swansea City at Liberty Stadium? With odds of 1.08 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
Watford v Ipswich - Double Chance - away win or draw
Watford simply have not been able to find a way past Ipswich Town in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 5 occasions since 2014, and Ipswich Town have been unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at Vicarage Road could be a tricky one for J. Gracia Carlos & co.
West Brom v Charlton - Double Chance - away win or draw
It has been a dismal run of results for West Bromwich Albion and their faithful followers, with their last Championship win now coming 9 games ago. Boss R. Mason simply must find a solution, and sooner rather than later. Will Charlton Athletic at The Hawthorns on Tuesday provide some relief?
Wrexham v Portsmouth - 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 Portsmouth's hardy fans have now been waiting 8 matches to see their side serve one up. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Could the streak come to an end on Tuesday evening, as they face P. Parkinson's Wrexham at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham? With odds of 1.08 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookies are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
Southampton v QPR - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Norwich v Sheff Wed - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to avoid adding to the 15 games they have already lost at both the break and the final whistle this season when they face Norwich City on Wednesday. H.

Sheff Utd v Coventry - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
