EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

Derby v Bristol C - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you fancy a thriller on Friday night, then the clash between Derby County and Bristol City could be worth checking out. J. Eustace's team lead the Championship in most matches with more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 2 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from Gerhard Struber's men could ruin the spectacle.

Charlton v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw

Nathan Jones and his Charlton Athletic troops have gained a useful knack of claiming something from pretty much every league game they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in league now, so Martí Cifuentes Corvillo and his Leicester City charges will have to be at their best if they're going to get anything at The Valley on Saturday.

Hull v Blackburn - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Blackburn Rovers will be looking to avoid adding to the 1 times they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this season when they square off against Hull City on Saturday. Valérien Ismaël's players already top the rest of the Championship in that area, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss Sergej Jakirović , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Birmingham v Oxford Utd - Double Chance - home win or draw

C. Davies and his Birmingham City team have gained a handy habit of getting something from pretty much every league fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 15 in league now, so Gary Rowett and his Oxford United side will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Bramall Lane on Saturday.

Coventry v QPR - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - over

Coventry City have been the Championship's entertainers this term, at least in when it comes to delivering high scoring matches. No other team can boast more than their record of having been involved in 1 games with at least 6 goals scored this season. Can they make it 2 when they face Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon? With odds of 15.00 on offer, it might be one to watch.

Norwich v M'Boro - Double Chance - away win or draw

Norwich City simply have not been able to find a way past Middlesbrough in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 7 occasions since 2021, and Middlesbrough have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Carrow Road could be another hard one for Liam Buckley & co.

Preston v Ipswich - Both Teams To Score - yes

Preston North End fans have become used to action at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both teams having scored in all of their last 9 outings. Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon should be another ding-dong battle.

Southampton v Stoke - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Southampton's long-suffering followers have now been waiting 18 games to watch their side take part in one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Will the run be broken on Saturday afternoon, as they face Mark Warburton's Stoke City at St. Mary's Stadium? With odds of 1.10 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.

Wrexham v Sheff Wed - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

The 5+ goal game may be a rare beast, but Sheffield Wednesday's loyal fans have now been waiting 11 games to see their side take part in one. A frustrating statistic in anyone's book. Could the streak come to an end on Saturday afternoon, as they face Phil Parkinson's Wrexham at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham? With odds of 1.14 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the UK's leading bookmakers certainly don’t think so.

Ipswich v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Derby County and Ipswich Town could warrant a closer look. J. Eustace's side have lost 2 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.
