EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 4TH-5TH JANUARY

EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING PREVIEW 

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

BIRMINGHAM VS COVENTRY

The Blues have been on a poor run recently, winless in their last five. However, Birmingham have an excellent record at St Andrew's, with six wins, five draws and only one loss during the current campaign at home. League leaders Coventry are eight points clear at the top, but they have been winless in their last two.

Betting Tip: Birmingham/Draw – 4/9 – BetMGM

QPR VS SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

Queens Park Rangers have only won one of their last five, which came in a convincing 4-1 win against Leicester. Julien Stéphan’s side comes into this fixture on the back of two losses against West Brom and Norwich. 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.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – Spreadex

SHEFFIELD UNITED VS OXFORD

Sheffield United have been much better under Chris Wilder; the Blades have found the back of the net much more consistently in recent outings. Despite United sitting in 15th, they’re only eight points from a play-off place, which will remain their aim. Oxford are sitting in 23rd, and the U’s have lost four of their last five.

Betting Tip: Sheffield United Win – 4/9 – PricedUp

BLACKBURN VS CHARLTON

Blackburn are just two places above the relegation zone, which is disappointing after they finished just one place outside the play-offs last season. Rovers haven’t scored in their last three and come into this fixture on the back of a 2-0 home loss against Wrexham. Charlton have also been disappointing recently; they sit just one place above Rovers in 19th.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 8/13 – Betway

BRISTOL VS PRESTON

Bristol City are in strong home form; they managed a 5-0 win over Portsmouth on New Year’s Day, which was their biggest home win this season, and five wins from their last eight league games at Ashton Gate. Preston are real play-off contenders, and they come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 3-0 home win against Sheffield Wednesday.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 4/5 – QuickBet

DERBY VS WREXHAM

The Rams have shown flashes of quality this season, but John Eustace’s side has struggled for consistency. However, they come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 1-0 home win against third-place Middlesbrough, with Bobby Clark as the goal scorer. After promotion from League One last season, Wrexham are sitting in 10th, just three points away from a play-off spot.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 11/8 – BetMGM

HULL VS WATFORD

After narrowly avoiding relegation on goal difference last season, Hull have surprised many by sitting fifth in the table, with Sergej Jakirović’s side winning three of their last five matches. Watford have been excellent recently, they’re one place above Hull in fourth, and the Hornets have won their last four.

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

MIDDLESBROUGH vs SOUTHAMPTON

Middlesbrough have dropped down to fourth after a poor run of games. Boro have lost three of their last four, and they come into this fixture without scoring a goal in this run. Southampton have also failed to pick up three points from their last four. After an encouraging early spell in charge, Tonda Eckert’s momentum has faded, with performances dropping off.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 11/10 – Betway

MILLWALL vs SWANSEA

Millwall supporters will be worried with their team’s recent drop in form; the Lions have won just one of their last six league games. This drop in momentum has led Alex Neil’s side to slip out of the play-offs; Millwall are currently 7th. Despite the 0-0 draw in their recent fixture against Southampton, Alex Neil said he was happy with the display. Swansea are 16th in the table and come into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins against Oxford and West Brom.

Betting Tip: Swansea Win/Draw – 3/4 – PricedUp

NORWICH vs STOKE

Norwich are still sitting in the relegation zone in 22nd. However, the Canaries have looked much better under Philippe Clement. During his time in charge, Clement has managed four wins, three draws and three losses. Stoke come into this fixture on the back of an impressive 1-0 away win against Hull; Robert Bozenik was the goal scorer.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score - 18/25 – QuickBet

PORTSMOUTH vs IPSWICH

Portsmouth have looked good recently; they’ve secured eight points from their last five, but they were disappointing last time out against Bristol, which ended in a 5-0 loss. Ipswich have been excellent in recent outings, and they head to Portman Road with back-to-back wins against league leaders Coventry and Oxford.

Betting Tip: Ipswich Win – 4/6 – BetMGM

LEICESTER vs WEST BROM

The Foxes are currently 13th and have lost three of their last five, which includes a 3-1 away defeat against Sheffield United in their recent outing. Marti Cifuentes’ side has struggled for consistency throughout the season. West Brom are 18th in the table and will be looking to secure important points to move them further up the table away from the relegation zone. The Baggies haven’t scored a goal in their last two matches on the road.

Betting Tip: Leicester Win – 13/8 – Spreadex
