EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

Leicester v Southampton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Entertainment is the name of the game, and there's reason to expect plenty of it when Leicester City and Southampton meet on Tuesday evening in the Championship. M. Cifuentes Corvillo and W. Still's teams are more than talented enough to score in this fixture, and KickOff's hive of members are backing them to show that at King Power Stadium. 10 of them are betting on the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more before full time. 1.80 is the most-enticing price among the UK's top bookmakers for that bet, and our tipsters won't be the only ones taking it at that price.

Oxford Utd v Norwich - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Getting an away win at The Kassam Stadium is a big ask for any side, but evidently L. Manning has done enough as Norwich City gaffer to prove to KO's members that he’s able to guide his team to just that - 17 have already bet on an away win in Tuesday’s Championship clash between Oxford United and L. Manning. If you wanted to do the same, decent odds of 2.40 can be grabbed just up the page.

Birmingham v West Brom - Win / Draw / Win - home win

A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in C. Davies and his chances of delivering a win for Birmingham City on Tuesday night. 38 have predicted him to guide his lads to emerge victorious from their encounter with West Bromwich Albion. Here's hoping that their faith in him isn't misplaced.

Charlton v Stoke - Double Chance - home win or draw

Following your football club can be a tough old business, and Stoke City’s dogged old follows know that only too well right now. Their side, led by M. Robins, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Championship matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against Charlton Athletic at The Valley on Wednesday evening. Backing opposition boss N. Jones to add another to that list by leading his team to a positive result is available at best odds of 1.48.

Derby v Swansea - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Swansea City's long-suffering supporters have now had to wait 13 matches to see their team deliver one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will the run be broken on Saturday afternoon, as they face J. Eustace's Derby County at Pride Park Stadium? With odds of 1.08 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the UK's leading bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.

Preston v Watford - Double Chance - home win or draw

What a miserable run of results for Watford and their fans, with their last Championship success now coming 6 matches ago. Boss J. Gracia Carlos simply must find a remedy, and sooner rather than later. Will Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday come too soon, or be a turning point?

QPR v Blackburn - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Blackburn Rovers have had lots of chances to test that theory this campaign. 19 of their side's matches in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will J. Stéphan and his Queens Park Rangers team be capable of adding some spice into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

Sheff Wed v Millwall - Half Time / Full Time - away+away

Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping not to add to the 14 times they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this term when they square off against Millwall on Saturday. H. Pedersen's team already lead the rest of the Championship in that category, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss A. Neil , on the other hand, will be feeling very differently.

Coventry v M'Boro - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Few will have missed the impressive form of Middlesbrough in recent weeks. They've won 6 consecutive Championship games, and R. Edwards will be going all out to continue that form as they face Coventry City at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Monday night.

Charlton v Portsmouth - Win / Draw / Win - away win

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's the task facing Charlton Athletic boss N. Jones on Saturday. His players face Portsmouth having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 Championship matches.

Hull v QPR - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming clash between Queens Park Rangers and Hull City could warrant a closer look. J. Stéphan's side have lost 10 games this season in which both clubs have scored. That's the most in the Championship.

Southampton v QPR - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Queens Park Rangers and Southampton could be the one for you. J. Stéphan's side have lost 10 games this campaign in which both sides have found the net. That's the highest number in the Championship.
