EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 16TH-17TH JANUARY

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 MIDDLESBROUGH

West Brom hosts Middlesbrough under the lights at The Hawthorns on Friday night. The Baggies have lost four of their last five, but managed to beat QPR 2-1; George Campbell and Nathaniel Phillips were the goal scorers.

After an excellent start to the season, Middlesbrough are currently second in the table, but have struggled for form recently. Prior to their 4-0 home win against Southampton, Kim Hellberg’s side only picked up one point from four games.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 8/11 – BetMGM

COVENTRY VS LEICESTER

League leaders Coventry are currently six points clear at the top, but Frank Lampard’s side come into this fixture with only one point from their last three, which came in a 1-1 draw away to Charlton.

The Sky Blues will be disappointed with recent performances and will aim to get back on track against Leicester. The Foxes had a slow start to the season, but they’ve managed to get up to 12th, only four points away from the play-offs.

Betting Tip: Leicester Win/Draw – 13/10 – Spreadex

WATFORD VS MILLWALL

Watford are just one below Millwall in the table; the Hornets are 6th in the table, with the Lions sitting in 5th. Both teams have had an excellent campaign so far and will be aiming to secure important points to push further towards securing a play-off place. Watford have won their last four against Stoke, Leicester, Norwich, and Birmingham; Thomas Ince scored a hat-trick during their 3-0 home win against the Blues.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – EVS – Betway

CHARLTON VS SHEFFIELD UNITED

After a positive start to the season, not many would expect Charlton to be sitting in 19th, just five points away from the relegation zone. The Addicks will be looking to bounce back after losing 5-1 at home to Chelsea in the FA Cup third round. Sheffield United have had spells of quality under Chris Wilder, and they come into this fixture with back-to-back league wins against Stoke and Leicester.

Betting Tip: Sheffield United Win – 11/10 – PricedUp

OXFORD UTD VS BRISTOL CITY

Oxford are currently sitting in 23rd, three points away from safety. The U’s have lost their last two league matches against Swansea and Ipswich. Gary Rowett was the head coach of the club until the end of December, and Matt Bloomfield has been appointed as the new head coach.

Matt Bloomfield’s first game in charge will be against Bristol, so he’ll aim to make a positive start. Bristol City have won three of their last five and will push to get back into the play-off places after they dropped out.

Betting Tip: Oxford Win/Draw – 29/50 – QuickBet

PRESTON VS DERBY

Preston has surprised many this season; they’re currently fourth and come into this fixture on the back of a 3-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday and an impressive 2-0 away win against Bristol City. Derby are currently 12th, the Rams have had positive spells throughout the season, but they’ve struggled for consistency during the season.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 23/25 – BetMGM

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY VS PORTSMOUTH

Sheffield Wednesday have endured financial turmoil this season, which has affected their performances on the pitch. The Owls now sit 32 points from safety following a points deduction. Portsmouth have also struggled during the current campaign. Pompey are sitting just one place above the relegation zone, John Mousinho’s side comes into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 5-0 away loss against Bristol City

SOUTHAMPTON VS HULL

Southampton are 15th in the table and winless in their last five league games. Despite Southampton struggling in recent fixtures, Tonda Eckert had a positive start with the Saints, managing seven wins, three draws, and four losses in his 14 games in charge. Hull are just one place outside the play-off places. If the Tigers pick up points, then they’ll have a good chance of getting inside the top six.

Betting Tip: Hull Win – 13/4 – QuickBet

STOKE VS QPR

The Potters are 8th in the table and come into this fixture on the back of two excellent away wins against Hull and Norwich; the Potters managed to keep two clean sheets during these two wins. QPR have secured seven points from their last five and come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 3-0 home win against Sheffield Wednesday; Rayan Kolli scored a brace.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 17/20 – PricedUp

WREXHAM VS NORWICH

After back-to-back promotions, Wrexham currently sit 9th in the table, which is an excellent start. The Red Dragons have been in excellent form recently, winning their last four league fixtures against Sheffield United, Preston, Blackburn and Derby. Phil Parkinson’s side will be looking to continue their excellent momentum going into the fixture against Norwich. The Canaries have struggled for league form recently, but they had a good FA Cup result at the weekend, beating Walsall 5-1. Striker Jovon Makama is in great form; he’s scored five in his last five, which includes a hat-trick in his last outing.

Betting Tip: Jovon Makama To Score – 12/5 – Betway

SWANSEA VS BIRMINGHAM

The evening kick-off on Saturday features Swansea hosting Birmingham. The Swans are 17th, just three places below Birmingham. Vítor Matos’ side has been great at home; they’ve won their last four at the Swansea.com Stadium. Birmingham has won just one of their last five league games, which came against league leaders Coventry 3-2 in their recent outing.

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