EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

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

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's exactly what must be done by Birmingham City boss C. Davies on Sunday. His team faces Wrexham having been beaten in each of their last 3 Championship games.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

We all love a thriller, and we might just get another 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 smart tipsters are backing them to show that at Fratton Park. 5 of them have saved a bet the match to contain at least 3 goals during the 90 mins. 2.15 is the most-enticing price available for their suggestion, and we can think of much worse places to put your money!

Southampton v Blackburn - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It may not be a record they're particularly enamoured with, but Southampton currently lead all opponents in the Championship when it comes to matches in which they have been level at both HT and FT this season, with their tally now at 9 in 41 outings. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test versus Blackburn Rovers at St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday, in a clash that could see yet another stalemate.

Blackburn v Coventry - Double Chance - away win or draw

Blackburn Rovers simply have not been able to find a way past Coventry City in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have played on 10 occasions since 2021, and Coventry City have gone unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Ewood Park could be a really difficult one for M. O'Neill & co.

Derby v Oxford Utd - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Derby County and Oxford United might well warrant a closer look. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this term in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.

Millwall v QPR - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Supporters heading to The Den this Saturday to watch Queens Park Rangers and Millwall might already be concerned about a tedious lunch time, and who could blame them? J. Stéphan's charges have produced 6 goalless draws this campaign, more than any team in the Championship. Will either side score? You can bet against it at leading odds of 11.00.

Portsmouth v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw

Leicester City have found something of a bogey team in Portsmouth in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 5 occasions since 2010, and Portsmouth have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Fratton Park could be another hard one for G. Rowett & co.

Bristol C v Norwich - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one set of players to keep a clean sheet at Ashton Gate on Saturday, as R. Hodgson and P. Clement's teams meet. Bristol City have had the most fixtures where one team or more has not scored (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this campaign - 24 out of 42 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their them that fails to register.

Hull v Birmingham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Hull City and Birmingham City could be worth checking out. S. Jakirović's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 27 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from C. Davies's men could ruin the spectacle.

Preston v West Brom - Double Chance - away win or draw

Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since West Bromwich Albion’s happy followers watched their side lose in the Championship. E. Ramsay’s boys are now unbeaten in 7 outings, and he will be expecting that they can extend that run against Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon. Best odds of 1.36 are available to back West Bromwich Albion to get the win or the draw.

Sheff Wed v Charlton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Charlton Athletic have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 27 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will H. Pedersen and his Sheffield Wednesday team be able to inject goals into this match on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?

Swansea v Southampton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Swansea City have consistently struggled against Southampton in the league in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 5 occasions since 2017, and Southampton have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Liberty Stadium could be a really difficult one for Vitor Matos & co.

Ipswich v M'Boro - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

K. Hellberg won't be too excited about going up against Ipswich Town in the Championship on Sunday. K. McKenna's side have been ahead at HT and gone on to win at FT more often than any other team in the the Championship this term - 15 times in total. That stat suggests it could well be a demoralising lunch time for Middlesbrough, and that backing Ipswich Town in the halftime fulltime market would be a great shout at odds of 3.20.

Leicester v Hull - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Leicester City and Hull City could warrant a closer look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this season in which both clubs have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.

Norwich v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Derby County and Norwich City could warrant a closer look. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in the Championship.

Leicester v Millwall - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming clash between Leicester City and Millwall might well be worth a look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's the highest number in the Championship.

QPR v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming game between Derby County and Queens Park Rangers might well warrant a closer look. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both sides have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.
