Championship stats and tips
Charlton v Derby - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Charlton Athletic have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this campaign. 16 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Eustace and his Derby County side be able to inject goalmouth action into this encounter on Tuesday? Or will it be more of the same?
Coventry v Millwall - Win / Draw / Win - home win
It seems we're looking firmly at a home win, or at least that's what our stat-fuelled bettors believe is heading our way, as Coventry City and Millwall clash in the Championship on Tuesday. No less than 5 have saved that bet on the site, with highest odds of 1.73 proving to be enticing enough for many.
Ipswich v Bristol C - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
K. McKenna won't be too excited about going up against Bristol City in the Championship on Tuesday. G. Struber's side have led at HT and gone on to win at FT more often than any other club in the the Championship this term - 9 times in total. That stat suggests it may be a difficult evening for Ipswich Town, and that backing Bristol City in the halftime fulltime market could be a strong bet at odds of 9.00.
Oxford Utd v QPR - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Queens Park Rangers and Oxford United could be the one for you. J. Stéphan's side have lost 9 games this campaign in which both teams have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.
Sheff Wed v Birmingham - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to avoid adding to the 12 games they have already been losing at both halftime and fulltime this term when they play Birmingham City on Tuesday. H. Pedersen's team already top the rest of the Championship in that area, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss C. Davies , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.
Swansea v Blackburn - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Blackburn Rovers have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 15 of their side's games in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will A. Sheehan and his Swansea City team be capable of adding some goals into this clash on Tuesday? Or will it be same old same old?
West Brom v Norwich - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of West Bromwich Albion boss R. Mason on Tuesday. His team faces Norwich City having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Championship outings.
Wrexham v Leicester - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Racecourse Ground may be fully expecting goals galore on Tuesday, and with good reason if Leicester City's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 21 of their 27 Championship fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Southampton v Sheff Utd - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Southampton have enjoyed meeting Sheffield United in the league in recent years, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. C. Wilder will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while W. Still will be expecting more of the same on Wednesday evening.
Stoke v M'Boro - Both Teams To Score - no
Going on form alone, we can back at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at bet365 Stadium on Wednesday, as M. Robins and R. Edwards's teams meet. Stoke City have had the most fixtures where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this season - 18 out of 27 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that draws a blank.
Derby v West Brom - Double Chance - home win or draw
West Bromwich Albion have consistently struggled against Derby County in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2021, and Derby County have been unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Pride Park Stadium could be another hard one for R. Mason & co.
M'Boro v Preston - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Preston North End will be concerned that 1 goal may not be enough to claim victory over Middlesbrough on Saturday lunch time. R. Edwards's men have the best record in the Championship when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (9 of their 27 matches), so defence first might be the best route to victory for P. Heckingbottom and his Preston North End team at Riverside Stadium.
Millwall v Charlton - Double Chance - home win or draw
Charlton Athletic simply have not been able to find a way past Millwall in the league in recent years. The two teams have played on 13 occasions since 2009, and Millwall have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at The Den could be a really difficult one for N. Jones & co.
Birmingham v Stoke - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
St. Andrew's Stadium plays host as Birmingham City and Stoke City meet on Saturday afternoon, in what might just be a tight affair. C. Davies's side have the highest number of score draws of any club in the division - 8 in 27 matches. An extension of that record is available at 4.80.
Blackburn v Watford - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Blackburn Rovers have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 15 of their side's encounters in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Gracia Carlos and his Watford team be able to inject spice into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?
Bristol C v Sheff Wed - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
H. Pedersen won't be too excited about facing Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday. G. Struber's side have led at halftime and gone on to claim victory at FT more often than any other club in the the Championship this term - 9 times in total. That record suggests there's every chance of it being a tough afternoon for Sheffield Wednesday, and that backing Bristol City in the HT FT market could be a strong bet at odds of 1.91.
Leicester v Oxford Utd - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at King Power Stadium may be anticipating goals galore on Saturday, and rightly so if Leicester City's past record is anything to go by. We've seen BTTS in 21 of their 27 Championship fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
QPR v Wrexham - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming clash between Queens Park Rangers and Wrexham might well be the one for you. J. Stéphan's side have lost 9 games this season in which both clubs have scored. That's the most in the Championship.
Portsmouth v Southampton - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may not be a record they're especially proud of, but Southampton currently lead all other teams in the Championship when it comes to matches in which they have been level at both halftime and fulltime this season, with their tally now at 7 in 27 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency on the line against Portsmouth at Fratton Park on Sunday, in a clash that could see yet another stalemate.
Norwich v Coventry - Double Chance - home win or draw
Coventry City have found something of a bogey team in Norwich City in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 11 occasions since 2010, and Norwich City have remained unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Carrow Road could be a tricky one for F. Lampard & co.
QPR v Coventry - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Queens Park Rangers and Coventry City could be worth a look. J. Stéphan's side have lost 9 games this campaign in which both teams have scored. That's a record in the Championship.
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.
