Championship stats and tips

Millwall v QPR - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Millwall's recent Championship games have been packed with goalmouth drama. Each of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Saturday against Queens Park Rangers may well provide more of the same. Here's hoping that A. Neil and J. Stéphan send their sides out to go for glory.

Norwich v Cardiff - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over

Nil-nils have been an incredibly rare occurrence in Norwich City's Championship outings recently. Their last 62 have had over 0.5 goals, and Saturday lunch time's meeting with B. Barry-Murphy's Cardiff City really should continue that streak.

Southampton v Derby - Double Chance - home win or draw

Derby County have consistently struggled against Southampton in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have met on 6 occasions since 2008, and Southampton have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at St. Mary's Stadium could be a really difficult one for J. Eustace & co.

Bolton v Portsmouth - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Supporters travelling to Macron Stadium this Saturday to watch Bolton Wanderers and Portsmouth might already be fearing a long afternoon, and with good reason. S. Schumacher's charges have produced 2 nil-nils this season, the most of any team in the Championship. Will anybody find the net? Bet against it at top odds of 11.00.

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

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Lincoln City boss C. Cohen on Saturday. His team faces Wrexham having been beaten in each of their last 3 Championship games.

M'Boro v Bristol C - Double Chance - away win or draw

Middlesbrough simply have not been able to find a way past Bristol City in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have met on 9 occasions since 2022, and Bristol City have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Riverside Stadium could be a tricky one for K. Hellberg & co.

Sheff Utd v Watford - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Sheffield United have enjoyed meeting Watford in the Championship recently, with their streak now extending to 5 straight wins against them. A. Dionisi will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while C. Wilder will be hoping for more of the same on Saturday afternoon.

Stoke v Birmingham - Half Time / Full Time - away / away

Anyone looking to bet on the half time/full time market will have noticed the form of Birmingham City. C. Davies's side has been impressively superior in recent Championship matches, winning at half time in each of their last 3 and going on to win them all at FT. Stoke City on Saturday afternoon could well be more of the same.

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

Happy days! It has now been a long while since West Bromwich Albion’s merry supporters watched their team suffer defeat in the Championship. J. Morrison’s boys are now unbeaten in 6 games, and he'll be hopeful that they can extend that run against Swansea City at Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Top odds of 1.50 are available to back West Bromwich Albion to get the win or the draw.

West Ham v Preston - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Preston North End will be hoping not to add to the 7 games they have already been losing at both halftime and fulltime this campaign when they face West Ham United on Saturday. G. Alexander's team already lead the rest of the Championship in that area, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss S. Parker , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Wolves v Charlton - Double Chance - home win or draw

P. da Silva Peixoto and his Wolverhampton Wanderers side have found a handy habit of getting something from pretty much every Championship game they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in the Championship now, so N. Jones and his Charlton Athletic side will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at Molineux Stadium on Saturday.

Burnley v Blackburn - Double Chance - away win or draw

Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a thankless task, and Burnley’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their side, led by F. Celestini, has not won any of their last 6 Championship matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Blackburn Rovers at Turf Moor on Sunday lunch time. Backing opposition gaffer T. Mowbray to add to their misery by inspiring his side to anything other than a defeat is available at best odds of 1.83.

Burnley v Birmingham - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Burnley and Birmingham City could be the one for you. F. Celestini's side have lost 7 games this season in which both teams have found the net. That's the highest number in the Championship.

Millwall v Burnley - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming clash between Burnley and Millwall might well be worth a look. F. Celestini's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's a record in the Championship.
