EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 12TH - 15TH DECEMBER 2025

EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING PREVIEW

We have 12 Championship fixtures this weekend, and Championship tipster Louie Truman has his Championship best bets and predictions along with Championship betting odds.

WEST BROM VS SHEFFIELD UNITED

West Brom host Sheffield United at The Hawthorns. The Baggies come into this fixture after two straight defeats against QPR and Southampton, which will leave them low on confidence and under early pressure despite being at home. The Blades have been in excellent form under Chris Wilder recently, winning four of their last five and scoring fourteen goals.

Betting Tip: Sheffield United Win – 41/20 – BetMGM

NORWICH VS SOUTHAMPTON

Norwich are currently sitting in 23rd, five points away from safety, which will have surprised many Norwich fans this season. Philippe Clement’s will be looking for his side to gain some consistency and implement his tactical approach. The Canaries come into this fixture on the back of a 1-1 away draw against Sheffield United, which was a good point away at Bramall Lane considering the excellent form United are in. Southampton have won four of their last five and will be looking to continue this momentum and aim for a play-off place.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 1/2 – Spreadex

OXFORD UNITED VS PRESTON

Oxford arrive on the back of several draws that show they’re well-organised, but the U’s often lack threat in attack. Their 1-1 draw with Blackburn showed patience, but they didn’t create many opportunities. Their  2-0 loss against Swansea highlighted their struggles when going behind. The Lilywhites have surprised many this season, currently sitting in fifth. Paul Heckingbottom’s side have drawn their last two games against Wrexham and Coventry; his side will be looking to secure a win, which would take them further into the play-off places.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals - 31/50 – QuickBet

STOKE VS SWANSEA

Stoke return to the Bet365 Stadium under pressure after a tough run that has had an impact on their confidence in attack and defence. Swansea come into this fixture on the back of two wins against Oxford and Portsmouth. The Swans have looked solid recently, and both teams will be looking for important points, so this should be a close game.

Betting Tip: Draw – 5/2 – Spreadex

BIRMINGHAM VS CHARLTON

The Blues will be looking to make it five home wins out of five against Charlton at the St. Andrew's Stadium. Despite Chris Davies’s side having a solid home record, they have lost their last two, which were away fixtures against Southampton and QPR. Birmingham were unlucky not to get anything out of the game against QPR. Patrick Roberts equalised in the 93rd minute for the Blues, and QPR midfielder Kieran Morgan scored the winner in the 96th minute. Despite Charlton having an excellent start to the season, they’ve dropped off in recent outings, losing their last five league fixtures.

Betting Tip: Birmingham Win – 4/7 – PricedUp

COVENTRY VS BRISTOL CITY

Coventry hosts the Robins at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Frank Lampard’s side are currently flying, five points clear at the top. The Sky Blues haven’t won in their last two, so they’ll be looking to secure three points against a Bristol City side who are currently 11th and have managed seven points in their last five.

Betting Tip: Coventry Win – 8/11 – Betway

LEICESTER VS IPSWICH

The Foxes come into this fixture with mixed form and pressure on Martí Cifuentes. A strong win at Derby contrasts with recent poor defeats. Leicester drew 2-2 away at Bristol City, with goal scorers being Jordan Ayew and Bobby Reid. Ipswich are in better form under Kieran McKenna, with brilliant wins against Coventry and Stoke. The Tractor Boys are currently fourth and five points away from an automatic promotion place.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – PricedUp

MIDDLESBROUGH VS QPR

Middlesbrough are currently second in the table, with three wins from their last three, scoring eight goals. Boro have been finding the back of the net consistently under Kim Hellberg; his side will be aiming to close the gap between league leaders Coventry. Queens Park Rangers have won four of their last five and are currently in seventh place, on joint points with Hull City, who are sixth.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 71/100 – QuickBet

MILLWALL VS HULL

The Lions have won three of their last four, and Alex Neil’s side will be looking to continue their excellent form. After narrowly missing out on the playoffs last season, Millwall are currently third and four points away from Middlesbrough in second. Hull have made a positive start to the current campaign under Sergej Jakirović; they’re currently sixth with nine wins, four wins and seven losses.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 3/4 – BetMGM

PORTSMOUTH VS BLACKBURN

Both teams have been inconsistent this season, and there are just two points between them in the table. Portsmouth are currently 22nd and will be looking to get out of the relegation zone, while 20th-placed Blackburn will be looking to turn recent draws into a much-needed win.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 8/11 – Spreadex

WREXHAM VS WATFORD

Wrexham have 27 points and sit 14th in the table. In their last match, Phil Parkinson’s side lost 2-0 to Hull City. The Hornets have 28 points and are 12th. In their previous game, Javi Gracia’s team drew 1-1 with Sheffield Wednesday. Both sides are within four points of the play-offs, so an entertaining game is expected.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 11/10 – QuickBet

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY VS DERBY

Sheffield Wednesday have been in financial turmoil this season, which has had a negative impact on the pitch. The Owls are currently 28 points away from safety due to their points deduction; relegation looks likely. Henrik Pedersen’s side drew 1-1 away to Watford in their last outing, putting in a good performance. Derby’s recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win alongside three losses and one draw in their last five. While their 3-4-1-2 setup offers potential control in midfield, their defence could be vulnerable.
