EFL Championship predictions

Championship stats and tips

Portsmouth v Oxford Utd - Double Chance - away win or draw

Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a tough old business, and Portsmouth’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their club, led by J. Mousinho, is now winless in their previous 7 Championship matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Oxford United at Fratton Park on Monday lunch time. Backing opposition gaffer M. Bloomfield to add another to that list by leading his lads to anything other than a defeat is available at top odds of 1.91.

Millwall v Norwich - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under

There have been 3 goals or less in each of Norwich City's last 12 Championship games. As they go head to head with A. Neil's Millwall at The Den on Monday, tipsters should be backing that run to continue.

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

E. Ramsay and his West Bromwich Albion team have found a convenient way of claiming something from pretty much every Championship fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in the Championship now, so M. O'Neill and his Blackburn Rovers charges will need to be on top of their game if they're to stand any chance at Ewood Park on Monday.

Bristol C v Sheff Utd - Both Teams To Score - yes

Sheffield United followers have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their team plays in the Championship, with both sides having scored in each of their last 5 matches. Bristol City on Monday afternoon should be another ding-dong battle.

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

Unsurpisingly, Derby County's adoring supporters expect high standards from their side and, according to our bettors, they may just have them met on Monday afternoon. 7 of our tipsters are betting that J. Eustace's team will emerge victorious as M. Robins's Stoke City visit Pride Park Stadium. Here's hoping they're proved right!

Ipswich v Birmingham - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Birmingham City will be feeling hopeful yet realistic as they prepare for a trip to Portman Road. Home victories occur most of the time in the Championship, and it's assumed by many that Ipswich Town and their coach K. McKenna will claim exactly that as they do battle with C. Davies's troops on Monday afternoon. 7 of KickOff's members have predicted that outcome, making the most of best odds of 0.00, and KickOff's predictive algorithm gives a 60.61% chance of them winning with their bets.

Preston v QPR - Double Chance - away win or draw

Preston North End have found something of a bogey team in Queens Park Rangers in the Championship in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 5 occasions since 2023, and Queens Park Rangers have remained unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Deepdale could be a really difficult one for P. Heckingbottom & co.

Sheff Wed v Leicester - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's exactly what must be done by Sheffield Wednesday boss H. Pedersen on Monday. His players face Leicester City having lost each of their last 3 Championship outings.

Watford v Charlton - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring matches aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Charlton Athletic have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 26 of their side's fixtures in the Championship have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will E. Still and his Watford side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this clash on Monday? Or will it be more of the same?

Swansea v M'Boro - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Middlesbrough's loyal supporters have now had to wait 13 games to see their club take part in one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Could the streak come to an end on Monday evening, as they face Vitor Matos's Swansea City at Liberty Stadium? With odds of 0.00 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the bookmakers clearly have their doubts.

Hull v Coventry - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Monday night, then the clash between Coventry City and Hull City could be the one for you. F. Lampard's team lead the Championship in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 26 of their Championship games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from S. Jakirović's men could keep the score down.

Wrexham v Southampton - Double Chance - away win or draw

Weeks have passed since Southampton’s joyous fans watched their lads get beaten in the Championship. W. Still’s squad is now unbeaten in 12 games, and he will be expecting that they can keep that streak running against Wrexham at Racecourse Ground, Wrexham on Tuesday night. Best odds of 1.50 can be taken advantage of to back Southampton to either win or draw.

Leicester v Swansea - Both Teams To Score & Result -

If you like backing goals and choosing a victor, then the upcoming fixture between Leicester City and Swansea City might well be worth a look. G. Rowett's side have lost 11 games this campaign in which both teams have got on the scoresheet. That's the most in the Championship.

Portsmouth v Ipswich - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Who doesn't love a goal-fest? And there's every chance we'll see one when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town meet on Tuesday evening in the Championship. J. Mousinho and K. McKenna's squads are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and our hive of members believe they will again at Fratton Park. 5 of them have saved a bet the game to have at least 3 goals in total. 2.10 is the most-enticing price available for their tip, and it will have plenty of people getting excited.
