EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 10TH-17TH FEBRUARY 2026

We have Championship fixtures, and Championship tipster Louie Truman has his Championship best bets and predictions along with Championship betting odds.

LEICESTER VS SOUTHAMPTON

After a point deduction, the Foxes are just one place above the relegation zone, and they’ve secured just one point from their last five. Back-to-back relegations could be on the cards for Leicester City. Southampton also got relegated from the Premier League last season with just 12 points; they currently sit 14th in the table. The Saints come into this fixture with better form, securing ten points from their last four.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 49/50 – BetMGM

OXFORD vs NORWICH

Oxford did well to secure safety last season; they’ll be looking to do the same this season, but they’re currently four points away from safety. Last time out, the U’s drew 0-0 away at league leaders Coventry with Will Lankshear getting sent off in the 77th minute. Norwich have moved up to 17th after an excellent spell of form. The Canaries have won four of their last five.

Betting Tip: Norwich Win – 69/50 – High Bet

BIRMINGHAM CITY vs WEST BROM

The Blues are 10th in the table, but they’re just two points away from the play-off places. Chris Davies’ side has been in excellent form recently, winning their last two against Oxford and Leicester. Birmingham have had an excellent record at St Andrew’s, losing just one home game all season. West Brom are just two places above the relegation zone, and the Baggies are winless in their last five.

Betting Tip: Birmingham Win – 7/8 – 247Bet

CHARLTON vs STOKE

The Addicks started the season well, but they’ve dropped to 18th due to a difficult spell of form. Charlton have managed four points from their last two. Stoke have also dropped off and sit in 13th place after being in the play-offs for the majority of the season.

Betting Tip: Both Teams Not To Score – 4/5 – BetMGM

DERBY vs SWANSEA

The Rams have struggled for consistency throughout the season; they’re currently ninth in the table, losing just one of their last five. This loss came against Ipswich in their recent outing. Swansea come into this fixture with great momentum, winning their last two against Watford and Sheffield Wednesday; the Swans scored six goals during these two fixtures.

The Rovers are on joint points as Leicester, who are one place above them in 21st.

Betting Tip: Draw – 223/100 – High Bet
