Championship stats and tips

Blackburn 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 17 of them are backing K. McKenna and his boys to claim an away win as they visit Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park in the Championship on Tuesday evening. These are tipsters who consider their selections very carefully, so are worth listening to. If you fancied placing the same bet, 2.00 is about the best value you’ll find.

Charlton v Portsmouth - Double Chance - home win or draw

Portsmouth simply have not been able to find a way past Charlton Athletic in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have played on 6 occasions since 2021, and Charlton Athletic have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at The Valley could be another hard one for J. Mousinho & co.

Derby v Leicester - Both Teams To Score - yes

Derby County followers have come to expect action at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both sides having scored in each of their last 6 outings. Leicester City on Saturday lunch time should be another ding-dong battle.

Watford v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Norwich City and Watford might well be worth a look. L. Manning's side have lost 7 games this campaign in which both sides have scored. That's the highest number in the Championship.

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

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Sheffield Wednesday boss H. Pedersen on Saturday. His team faces Blackburn Rovers having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 4 Championship outings.

Bristol C v Millwall - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Fans travelling to Ashton Gate this Saturday to watch Bristol City and Millwall might already be concerned about a boring afternoon, and who could blame them? G. Struber's charges have produced 2 nil-nils this term, more than any team in the Championship. Will anybody find the net? You can bet against it at top odds of 9.00.

Ipswich v Coventry - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Coventry City and Ipswich Town could be the one for you. F. Lampard's team lead the Championship in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 13 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from K. McKenna's men could keep the score down.

Preston v Wrexham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring encounters aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Wrexham have had too many chances to test that theory this term. 12 of their side's games in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will P. Heckingbottom and his Preston North End team be able to inject spice into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?

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

Queens Park Rangers have found something of a bogey team in West Bromwich Albion in the Championship in recent years. The two sides have played on 6 occasions since 2022, and West Bromwich Albion have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Loftus Road Stadium could be a really difficult one for J. Stéphan & co.

Sheff Utd v Stoke - Both Teams To Score - no

If we trust the form book, we can back at least one side to earn a clean sheet at Bramall Lane on Saturday, as C. Wilder and M. Robins's sides clash. Sheffield United have had the highest number of games where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this term - 11 out of 18 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their team that flounders in front of goal.

Southampton v Birmingham - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at St. Mary's Stadium may be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Saturday, and rightly so if Southampton's past record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 14 of their 18 Championship fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.

Swansea v Oxford Utd - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Oxford United's recent matches in the Championship have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been some time since G. Rowett's charges provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 goals in every one of their last 16 outings.

Sheff Utd v Norwich - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming match between Norwich City and Sheffield United might well warrant a closer look. L. Manning's side have lost 7 games this term in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in the Championship.

Norwich v Southampton - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming match between Norwich City and Southampton could be worth a look. L. Manning's side have lost 7 games this term in which both teams have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.
