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

BLACKBURN VS BRISTOL CITY

Blackburn comes into this fixture on the back of an impressive derby day win against Preston; Yuki Ohashi scored a 95th-minute winner. Rovers will aim to build on recent wins as they look to move further away from the relegation places. Bristol City are sitting in 12th with seven wins from their last five.

Betting Tip: Blackburn Win – 11/8 – BetMGM

HULL VS DERBY 

Hull City have had a great start to the current campaign; they’re sitting in fifth place with 54 points. The Tigers have struggled in recent outings, and City have lost their last two against Bristol City and QPR. Derby have recently dropped out of the play-off places due to their 2-0 away loss against Watford last time out.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals 53/50 – High Bet

MIDDLESBROUGH VS LEICESTER

Middlesbrough have been excellent under the management of Kim Hellberg. Boro are sitting in second, but they’ve secured just one point from their last two. Back-to-back relegations are on the cards for Leicester; the Foxes are just inside the relegation zone.

Betting Tip: Middlesbrough Win – 13/25 – 247 Bet

SWANSEA VS PRESTON

Swansea have enjoyed a positive spell of form recently, winning three of their last four. The Swans kept clean sheets in all three of the wins. Preston are four places outside the play-off places, they’ll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 loss against local rivals Blackburn.

Betting Tip: Both Teams Not To Score – 9/10 – BetMGM

WATFORD VS IPSWICH

The Hornets host Ipswich Town under the lights at Vicarage Road. Edward Still’s side has secured just five points from their last five, but they come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 home win against Derby, so he’ll aim for his side to build momentum. The Tractor Boys are amongst promotion contenders, but they conceded five against Wrexham last time out.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 93/100 – High Bet

WEST BROM vs CHARLTON

Throughout the season, West Brom have struggled for consistency, which has led to them sitting just one place above the relegation zone. The Baggies are winless in their last five. After a positive start, Charlton have dropped to 17th, seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 8/13 – 247 Bet

Betting Tip: Norwich/ Norwich – 13/20 – BetMGM

SHEFFIELD UNITED vs COVENTRY

Sheffield United are sitting in mid-table. The Blades have won their last two against Portsmouth and Sheffield Wednesday, so they’ll look to continue their current momentum. League leaders Coventry are three points clear at the top, and they also come into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 54/100 – High Bet

STOKE vs OXFORD

Stoke City host Oxford United at the bet365 Stadium in a crucial midweek fixture. The Potters come into the match after scoring late to secure a draw against Leicester on Saturday, while Oxford extended their poor run of form to six games without a win after being held 0–0 by promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough.
