EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

West Brom v Millwall - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Claiming victory in the lions' den that is The Hawthorns is a big ask for any side, but clearly A. Neil has shown enough as Millwall gaffer to show KO's bettors that he’s capable of delivering exactly that - 6 have have tipped the away win in Friday’s Championship clash between West Bromwich Albion and A. Neil. Fancy taking the same bet? Best odds of 3.25 can be grabbed just up the page.

Coventry v Sheff Wed - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There is clearly a lot of faith within KO's tipsters in F. Lampard and his ability to deliver a win for Coventry City on Saturday lunch time. 21 have backed him to guide his team to win against Sheffield Wednesday. Will he repay the trust placed in him? We'll know by the end of the 90.

Norwich v Ipswich - Double Chance - away win or draw

K. McKenna and his Ipswich Town side have developed a useful knack of taking something from just about every Championship game they play. They're unbeaten in 8 in the Championship now, so P. Clement and his Norwich City side will need to be on top of their game if they're to stand any chance at Carrow Road on Saturday.

QPR v Bristol C - Double Chance - home win or draw

Bristol City have found something of a bogey team in Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and Queens Park Rangers have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Loftus Road Stadium could be a really difficult one for R. Hodgson & co.

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

Preston North End have enjoyed success against Charlton Athletic in the Championship recently, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. N. Jones will be desperate to stop the rot, while P. Heckingbottom will be hopeful of more of the same on Saturday afternoon.

Leicester v Swansea - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Leicester City and Swansea City have met in the league, goals have generally followed. Both teams have found the net in each of their last 5 clashes, so the King Power Stadium faithful could be in for another classic on Saturday afternoon.

M'Boro v Portsmouth - Double Chance - home win or draw

Supporting your team home and away can be hard going, and Portsmouth’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their team, led by J. Mousinho, has now failed to win any of their last 8 Championship matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition boss K. Hellberg to add to their misery by guiding his side to either a win or draw can be backed at top odds of 1.14.

Oxford Utd v Watford - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans travelling to The Kassam Stadium this Saturday to watch Oxford United and Watford might already be fearing a boring afternoon, and rightly so. M. Bloomfield's men have played their part in 5 goalless draws this season, the highest number of any team in the Championship. Will anyone score? You can bet against it at best odds of 9.00.

Sheff Utd v Hull - Double Chance - away win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be draining, and Sheffield United’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their team, led by C. Wilder, has now failed to win any of their last 6 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Hull City at Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon. Backing opposition gaffer S. Jakirović to extend the run by inspiring his lads to a positive result can be backed at top odds of 1.95.

Southampton v Derby - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Derby County are in for a big test as they go to St. Mary's Stadium. Home victories occur more often than not in the Championship, and it's assumed by many that Southampton and their boss W. Still will claim another one as they face J. Eustace's troops on Saturday afternoon. 9 of our bettors have predicted that outcome, taking advantage of top odds of 1.80, and our 49.84 places a 49.84% chance of them celebrating another win come full time.

Stoke v Blackburn - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - under

There are some supporters who love the tension of a low-scoring match, and they should probably keep an eye on Stoke City v Blackburn Rovers. Each of Blackburn Rovers's last 3 Championship matches has had under 1.5 goals, and that sequence could run and run.

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

It's never easy to end a losing run, but that's what's required of Birmingham City boss C. Davies on Sunday. His team faces Wrexham having lost each of their last 3 Championship matches.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

It should be goals, goals, goals 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 hive of bettors fancy them to demonstrate that at Fratton Park. 5 of them have saved a bet the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more before full time. 2.20 is the top price among the UK's top bookmakers for that suggestion, and the fans in the ground will enjoy their afternoon as much as the tipsters if it comes in.
