EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

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

Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since West Bromwich Albion’s happy fans watched their lads get beaten in the Championship. E. Ramsay’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 matches, and he will be hopeful that they can keep going against Millwall at The Hawthorns on Friday night. Best odds of 1.36 can be grabbed to back West Bromwich Albion to either win or draw.

Coventry v Sheff Wed - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Like most fans around the globe, Coventry City's loyal fans expect high standards from their team and, in the opinion of KO's bettors, they may just have them met on Saturday lunch time. 12 of those bettors are tipping that F. Lampard's team will get the win as H. Pedersen's Sheffield Wednesday visit Ricoh Arena. Will the wisdom of the crowd be proved correct? Or could we be set for a big upset?

Norwich v Ipswich - Double Chance - away win or draw

K. McKenna and his Ipswich Town troops have developed a handy knack of taking something from almost every Championship match they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in the Championship now, so P. Clement and his Norwich City team will have their work cut out if they're to stand any chance at Carrow Road on Saturday.

QPR v Bristol C - Double Chance - home win or draw

Bristol City simply have not been able to find a way past Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have met on 5 occasions since 2023, and Queens Park Rangers have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Loftus Road Stadium could be a really difficult one for R. Hodgson & co.

Charlton v Preston - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Preston North End have enjoyed meeting Charlton Athletic in the Championship of late, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. N. Jones will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while P. Heckingbottom will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday afternoon.

Leicester v Swansea - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Leicester City and Swansea City have met in the league, goals have been the order of the day. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 clashes, so the King Power Stadium crowd could be in for another classic on Saturday afternoon.

M'Boro v Portsmouth - Double Chance - home win or draw

Supporting your team home and away can be a thankless task, and Portsmouth’s long-suffering follows know that only too well at the moment. Their side, led by J. Mousinho, has not won any of their last 8 Championship matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition manager K. Hellberg to add to their misery by leading his lads to anything other than a defeat is available at best odds of 1.14.

Oxford Utd v Watford - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans heading to The Kassam Stadium this Saturday to watch Oxford United and Watford might already be worrying about a long afternoon, and who could blame them? M. Bloomfield's charges have played their part in 5 nil-nils this campaign, the most of any team in the Championship. Will either side find the net? You can bet against it at best odds of 9.00.

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

What a miserable run of results for Sheffield United and their supporters, with their last Championship victory now coming 6 matches ago. Boss C. Wilder has to find a solution, and quickly. Will Hull City at Bramall Lane on Saturday provide some relief?

Southampton v Derby - Half Time / Full Time - home / home

Anyone looking to bet on the half time/full time market should pay attention to Southampton. W. Still's side has been remarkably commanding in recent Championship outings, winning at half time in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at FT. Derby County on Saturday afternoon could well be more of the same.

Stoke v Blackburn - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - under

There are some supporters who enjoy the chess match that is a low-scoring match, and they really should keep an eye on Stoke City v Blackburn Rovers. Each of Blackburn Rovers's last 3 Championship outings has had under 1.5 goals, and that sequence may go on for some time yet.

Birmingham v Wrexham - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by Birmingham City boss C. Davies on Sunday. His players face Wrexham having been beaten in each of their last 3 Championship outings.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

It should be goals, goals, goals when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town go head-to-head on Tuesday night in the Championship. J. Mousinho and K. McKenna's sides are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and our hive of bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Fratton Park. 5 of them have saved a bet the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more before full time. 2.20 is the top price among the UK's top bookmakers for that suggestion, and the fans in the ground will enjoy their afternoon as much as the tipsters if it comes in.

Portsmouth v Leicester - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming clash between Leicester City and Portsmouth could warrant a closer look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both teams have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.

Leicester v Hull - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Leicester City and Hull City could be worth a look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both clubs have found the net. That's the highest number in the Championship.
