Championship stats and tips

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

We all love a thriller, and we might just get another when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town meet on Tuesday night in the Championship. J. Mousinho and K. McKenna's teams have shown they know their way to goal, and our community of members fancy them to demonstrate that at Fratton Park. 6 of them have backed the fixture to deliver 3 goals or more in total. 2.15 is the highest price in our betslip for their suggestion, and it could well be one to watch.

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

Most of us have heard of 'the wisdom of the crowd', and our hive of members may just be wiser than most. On Tuesday, 21 have opted to back Southampton to win against Blackburn Rovers at St. Mary's Stadium. Backing the home win at odds of 1.60 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be keeping fingers crossed that W. Still gets his tactics right and brings home that invaluable home win.

Blackburn v Coventry - Double Chance - away win or draw

Blackburn Rovers simply have not been able to find a way past Coventry City in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 10 occasions since 2021, and Coventry City have remained unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Ewood Park could be a tricky one for M. O'Neill & co.

Derby v Oxford Utd - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Derby County and Oxford United could be the one for you. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both sides have scored. That's the highest number in the Championship.

Millwall v QPR - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under

Supporters heading to The Den this Saturday to watch Queens Park Rangers and Millwall might already be concerned about a long lunch time, and rightly so. J. Stéphan's men have produced 6 nil-nils this term, the most of any team in the Championship. Will anybody find the net? You can bet against it at leading odds of 11.00.

Portsmouth v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw

Leicester City have found something of a bogey team in Portsmouth in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have played on 5 occasions since 2010, and Portsmouth have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Fratton Park could be a tricky one for G. Rowett & co.

Bristol C v Norwich - Both Teams To Score - no

Going on form alone, we can back at least one defence to earn a clean sheet at Ashton Gate on Saturday, as R. Hodgson and P. Clement's sides clash. Bristol City have had the highest number of fixtures where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this season - 24 out of 42 played. Both bosses will just be hoping it isn't their side that draws a blank.

Hull v Birmingham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Hull City and Birmingham City could be the one for you. S. Jakirović's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 27 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only an entirely negative game plan from C. Davies's men could prevent more of the same.

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

E. Ramsay and his West Bromwich Albion troops have found a useful knack of taking something from almost every Championship match they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in the Championship now, so P. Heckingbottom and his Preston North End charges will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at Deepdale on Saturday.

Sheff Wed v Charlton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Charlton Athletic have had too many chances to test that theory this term. 27 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will H. Pedersen and his Sheffield Wednesday side be capable of adding some spice into this match on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?

Swansea v Southampton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Swansea City have consistently struggled against Southampton in the league in recent years. The two teams have met on 5 occasions since 2017, and Southampton have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Liberty Stadium could be a tricky one for Vitor Matos & co.

Ipswich v M'Boro - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

K. Hellberg won't be relishing going up against Ipswich Town in the Championship on Sunday. K. McKenna's side have been winning at halftime and gone on to claim victory at FT in more games than any other club in the the Championship this term - 15 times in total. That record suggests there's every chance of it being a difficult lunch time for Middlesbrough, and that backing Ipswich Town in the HT FT market could be a smart move at odds of 3.20.

Leicester v Hull - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Leicester City and Hull City could warrant a closer look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this season in which both clubs have found the net. That's a record in the Championship.

Norwich v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on goals and choosing a winner, then the upcoming fixture between Derby County and Norwich City could be worth a look. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this term in which both teams have scored. That's the highest number in the Championship.

Leicester v Millwall - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like tipping goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming clash between Leicester City and Millwall might well be worth a look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's the highest number in the Championship.

QPR v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming game between Derby County and Queens Park Rangers might well warrant a closer look. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both sides have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in the Championship.
