Championship Predictions

Southampton to Win
at Norwich
Reason for tip

Saints have won three of their last four games and should be able to see off Norwich, who are on a four-game losing streak.

Derby Double Chance (Win or Draw)
at QPR
Reason for tip

Derby have managed to stop the rot with back-to-back draws and they can claim at least avoid defeat at QPR. The hosts are on a five-game winless run and they’ve won just once at home in the league, failing to beat both Bolton and Preston. The Rams did the league double over QPR last season and can leave London with at least a point.

Both Teams To Score
Lincoln City vs West Ham United
Reason for tip
View Full Preview

Lincoln City may be winless at home this season, but both teams have scored in three of their four games here and they should have the quality to get on the scoresheet against a West Ham side that have seen goals at both ends in all five away fixtures. 

Both Teams To Score
Portsmouth vs Sheffield United
Reason for tip

Both defences look vulnerable and backing goals at both ends could be the best angle at Fratton Park. Pompey have just one clean sheet at home this season and they’ve scored in three of their four games at this venue, while there have been goals at both ends in four of Sheffield United’s last five away games.

Championship Predictions & Betting Tips

You’re in safe hands. Before making each Championship prediction our experts analyse statistics, look at potential angles and compare them with bookmaker odds. It’s hard to be better informed!

One of the most hotly-contested leagues in the world, Championship matches are wildly entertaining thanks to the offer of a dream promotion to the Premier League. That means interest is always sky-high, with attendances rivalling the likes of Serie A and La Liga. Its popularity is no accident, and as a result, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a bet.

Right, let’s dive in with your questions.

When do you post your Championship predictions?

Our match previews cover every single game and are posted two to three days before each game kicks off. For midweek matches, predictions will be available from Monday evening. By posting our Championship tips early, we make sure we get the best value from the bookmakers while also giving you plenty of time to digest our predictions.
