Championship stats and tips

Friday 17th April

Blackburn v Coventry - Double Chance - away win or draw

Blackburn Rovers have found something of a bogey team in Coventry City in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have clashed on 10 occasions since 2021, and Coventry City have gone unbeaten in them all. Friday's game at Ewood Park could be a really difficult one for M. O'Neill & co.

Saturday 18th April

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

If you like putting your money on goals and picking a victor, then the upcoming game between Derby County and Oxford United might well warrant a closer look. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this term in which both clubs have found the net. 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 fearing a boring lunch time, and with good reason. J. Stéphan's charges have been involved in 6 nil-nils this term, the most of any team in the Championship. Will anyone break the deadlock? Bet against it at best odds of 11.00.

Portsmouth v Leicester - Double Chance - home win or draw

Leicester City have consistently struggled against Portsmouth in the Championship in recent years. The two teams have played on 5 occasions since 2010, and Portsmouth have remained 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

If the form book is to be believed, 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 most games where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in the Championship so far this season - 24 out of 42 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their side that flounders in front of goal.

Hull v Birmingham - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Hull City and Birmingham City could be worth checking out. 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 a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from C. Davies's men could prevent more of the same.

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

We all dream of our club suddenly becoming invincible, and for some fans that dream comes true. It has been weeks since West Bromwich Albion’s joyous fans watched their team suffer defeat in the Championship. E. Ramsay’s squad is now unbeaten in 7 matches, and he'll be telling them that they can keep going against Preston North End at Deepdale on Saturday afternoon. Top odds of 1.29 are available to back West Bromwich Albion to get the win or the draw.

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

Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Charlton Athletic have had too many chances to test that theory this season. 27 of their side's encounters 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 goals into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?

Swansea v Southampton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Swansea City have found something of a bogey team in Southampton in the league in recent years. The two clubs have played on 5 occasions since 2017, and Southampton have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Liberty Stadium could be a really difficult one for Vitor Matos & co.

Sunday 19th April

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 ahead at HT and gone on to claim victory at fulltime more often than any other club in the the Championship this term - 15 times in total. That record suggests it could well be a demoralising lunch time for Middlesbrough, and that backing Ipswich Town in the halftime fulltime market could be a smart move at odds of 3.60.

Tuesday 21st April

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 backing goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming match between Derby County and Norwich City could be the one for you. J. Eustace's side have lost 11 games this season in which both clubs have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.

Friday 24th April

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.

Saturday 25th April

QPR v Derby - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like putting your money on 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 season in which both clubs have found the net. That's the most in the Championship.
