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

BRISTOL CITY VS WATFORD

Bristol City are sitting in eighth place, the Robins come into this fixture on the back of a 2-1 away win against Blackburn; Emil Riis Jakobsen and Scott Twine were the goalscorers. Watford have won just one of their last five, which came in a 2-0 home win against Derby.

Betting Tip: Draw – 47/20 - BetMGM

DERBY VS BLACKBURN

Throughout the season, Derby have struggled for consistency; the Rams have dropped to 11th with just three points from their last four. Blackburn are currently in a relegation battle, which has surprised many. However, they’ve looked better in recent outings with two wins from their last three.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 16/25 - High Bet 

LEICESTER VS NORWICH

Leicester City have been given a points deduction for breaching financial rules after spending more money than allowed under the Profitability and Sustainability Regulations. This has put them inside the relegation zone. The Foxes are one point away from safety. Norwich has moved up to 17th after winning three of their last four.

Betting Tip: Norwich Win – 12/7 - 247 Bet

PORTSMOUTH VS HULL

Portsmouth are just three places above the relegation zone, so they’ll be looking to secure important points in their fight for survival. Pompey have won two of their last three, which came against Charlton and Millwall. Promotion contenders Hull are sitting in fifth, and the Tigers come into this fixture on the back of a high-scoring 4-2 win against Derby.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 10/11 - BetMGM

CHARLTON VS WREXHAM

After promotion from League One last season, the Addicks had a positive start to the current campaign, but they’ve dropped to 18th after a difficult run of form. Charlton have drawn their last two against Southampton and West Brom. Wrexham are just inside the play-offs; the Red Dragons have won their last two against Ipswich and Portsmouth.

Betting Tip: Wrexham Win – 21/25 - High Bet

SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY VS SOUTHAMPTON

Sheffield Wednesday have suffered financial difficulties throughout the season, and their 2–1 defeat in the Steel City derby has now confirmed the Owls’ relegation to League One.
