Championship stats and tips
West Brom v M'Boro - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - over
6 of KO's tipsters think this match between West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough will feature a minimum of 2 goals. It may not be a classic, but there should be enough to keep both the The Hawthorns die-hardshappy
Coventry v Leicester - Both Teams To Score - yes
Leicester City followers have come to expect drama at each end when their side plays in the Championship, with both teams having found the net in every one of their last 9 matches. Coventry City on Saturday lunch time could be another goal-fest.
Ipswich v Blackburn - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in K. McKenna and his ability to deliver a win for Ipswich Town on Saturday lunch time. 6 have backed him to guide his lads to win against Blackburn Rovers. It's all eyes on the home boss now to see if he can indeed deliver.
Watford v Millwall - Double Chance - home win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Watford’s happy fans watched their lads lose in the Championship. J. Gracia Carlos’s men are now unbeaten in 7 outings, and he will be telling them that they can keep going against Millwall at Vicarage Road on Saturday lunch time. Top odds of 1.29 can be taken advantage of to back Watford to avoid defeat yet again.
Charlton v Sheff Utd - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Charlton Athletic's recent games in the Championship have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since N. Jones's charges gave their followers a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 goals in each of their last 9 matches.
Oxford Utd v Bristol C - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
G. Rowett won't be too excited about the prospect of playing Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday. G. Struber's side have been winning at halftime and gone on to win at fulltime in more games than any other club in the the Championship this season - 9 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a difficult afternoon for Oxford United, and that backing Bristol City in the halftime fulltime market could be a strong bet at odds of 3.50.
Preston v Derby - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Preston North End and Derby County have laboured through a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 Championship meetings having under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by P. Heckingbottom and J. Eustace may be in for a long day afternoon.
Sheff Wed v Portsmouth - Double Chance - away win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be draining, and Sheffield Wednesday’s long-suffering follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their club, led by H. Pedersen, has not won any of their last 19 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Portsmouth at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition gaffer J. Mousinho to add another to that list by leading his lads to either a win or draw is available at best odds of 1.33.
Southampton v Hull - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a dismal run of results for Southampton and their supporters, with their last Championship success now coming 6 games ago. Boss W. Still simply must find a remedy, and sooner rather than later. Will Hull City at St. Mary's Stadium on Saturday provide some relief?
Stoke v QPR - Both Teams To Score & Result - over
If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming clash between Queens Park Rangers and Stoke City could be the one for you. J. Stéphan's side have lost 9 games this season in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. That's the highest number in the Championship.
Wrexham v Norwich - Win / Draw / Win - home win
A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in P. Parkinson and his managerial skills, and ability to claim a win for Wrexham on Saturday afternoon. 5 have bet on him to propel his lads to emerge victorious from their encounter with Norwich City. Here's hoping that their faith in him isn't misplaced.
Swansea v Birmingham - Double Chance - away win or draw
Swansea City simply have not been able to find a way past Birmingham City in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have played on 9 occasions since 2020, and Birmingham City have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Liberty Stadium could be a tricky one for A. Sheehan & co.
Charlton v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result - draw
The Valley is the venue as Derby County and Charlton Athletic meet on Tuesday evening, in what could well be a proper ding-dong battle. J. Eustace's side have the highest number of score draws of any club in the division - 8 in 26 games. An extension of that record can be backed at 4.50.
Coventry v Millwall - Double Chance - home win or draw
Millwall have found something of a bogey team in Coventry City in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 6 occasions since 2023, and Coventry City have been unbeaten in them all. Tuesday's game at The Coventry Building Society Arena could be a really difficult one for A. Neil & co.
Ipswich v Bristol C - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
K. McKenna won't be looking forward to the prospect of playing Bristol City in the Championship on Tuesday. G. Struber's side have led at halftime and gone on to secure the win at final whistle more often than any other club in the the Championship this term - 9 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a difficult evening for Ipswich Town, and that backing Bristol City in the HT FT market could be a great shout at odds of 7.50.
Oxford Utd v QPR - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Queens Park Rangers and Oxford United could be the one for you. J. Stéphan's side have lost 9 games this term in which both sides have found the net. That's the highest number in the Championship.
Sheff Wed v Birmingham - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to avoid adding to the 12 times they have already been behind in at both HT and FT this season when they take on 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 fixtures aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Blackburn Rovers have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 15 of their side's matches in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will A. Sheehan and his Swansea City side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this match on Tuesday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
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 past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 20 of their 26 Championship fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Southampton v Sheff Utd - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Southampton have dominated Sheffield United in the league recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. C. Wilder will be doing all he can to turn the tide, while W. Still will be hopeful of more of the same on Wednesday evening.
Stoke v M'Boro - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one side to earn a clean sheet at bet365 Stadium on Wednesday, as M. Robins and R. Edwards's sides clash. Stoke City have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this season - 17 out of 26 played. Both bosses will just be desperate that it isn't their side that fails to register.
QPR v Wrexham - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Queens Park Rangers and Wrexham could warrant a closer look. J. Stéphan's side have lost 9 games this term in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. 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.
Portsmouth v Ipswich - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Ipswich Town would surely be delighted to learn of the confidence our betting community has in them, as 11 of them are expecting K. McKenna and his side to earn away win as they visit Portsmouth at Fratton Park in the Championship on Sunday afternoon. Imagine the scenes in the away end if they're proven right. If you fancied placing the crowd, 1.70 is about the best value you’ll find.
