EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 5TH & 6TH 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.

HULL vs MIDDLESBROUGH

Hull only just avoided relegation to League One last season. Despite this, Sergej Jakirović’s side have had a much more positive start to the current campaign; they’re currently sat in ninth place, only one point away from a play-off place. Middlesbrough are currently in second place, under interim manager Adi Viveash. Boro have secured seven points from their last four, which include wins against Birmingham and Derby.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 7/10 – BetMGM

CHARLTON vs PORTSMOUTH 

Despite Nathan Jones’ side having an excellent start to the season, they’ve dropped off in recent outings, losing their last four league fixtures. Defensively, the Addicks are struggling, having conceded 12 goals in their last four. Portsmouth have lost six of their last eight matches, so John Mousinho’s side will be looking to build momentum. However, Pompey haven’t got a great record in this fixture; they’ve not beaten Charlton in their last six meetings.

Betting Tip: Charlton Win – 11/10 – Spreadex

DERBY vs LEICESTER

Derby’s strong recent form suggests they’ll remain a threat; the Rams have won three of their last five. John Eustace’s side will be looking to secure three points and move closer to the play-off places because the Rams are only three points off sixth place. Leicester have fallen short of expectations this season, struggling to find consistency both defensively and in attack. In recent outings, they’ve shown spells of quality, but they come into this fixture on the back of two losses against Southampton and Sheffield United.

Betting Tip: Derby To Score 1st – 21/20 – Betway

WATFORD vs NORWICH

Watford have only won one of their last five, which came against Derby in a 3-2 away win at Pride Park. The Hornets have also drawn three of their last five, which is a worry against a Norwich side that is capable of scoring goals. We saw this in the Canaries’ recent 3-1 win against QPR. Norwich are currently 2nd to bottom, so they’ll be looking to pick up points, which will help them move out of the play-off places.

Betting Tip: Norwich Win/Draw – 4/5 – QuickBet

BLACKBURN vs SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

Both sides are currently in the bottom half of the table, Blackburn are sat in 18th, and Wednesday are bottom, having lost their last five games. Five of Blackburn’s last seven games have had under 2.5 goals, and they’ve scored just eight at home in nine matches, fewer than all but Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 20/21 – PricedUp

BRISTOL vs MILLWALL

There are just three points which separate the two sides. Bristol City currently occupy sixth place in the Championship, while Millwall have defied expectations to sit in third. Bristol City have a great chance to move up the table. A win could move them up to third, and their strong home form, winning three of their last four games at Ashton Gate, gives them a boost. The Lions come into this fixture on the back of two league wins against Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 5/6 – Spreadex

IPSWICH vs COVENTRY

Ipswich are currently 7th, just one place outside the play-off places. The Tractor Boys have only won one of their last four, and league leaders Coventry have won five of their last six away games. This includes an impressive 4-2 away win against Middlesbrough at the Riverside. The Sky Blues are ten points clear at the top, a clear reflection of the outstanding form they’ve been showing this season.

Betting Tip: Coventry Win – 19/20 – BetMGM

PRESTON vs WREXHAM

The Lilywhites have surprised many this season, currently sitting in fifth. However, Preston have only won one of their last four, which included a 3-2 away win against turmoil Sheffield Wednesday. Wrexham could shock Preston North End again when they visit Deepdale on Saturday, just as they did three months ago with a stunning 3-2 EFL Cup win. Phil Parkinson’s team has shown grit and consistency, with results including a 0-0 draw at Ipswich, a 2-0 win over Bristol City, and a 1-1 draw at Blackburn.

Betting Tip: Wrexham Win/Draw – 11/20 – Betway

QPR VS WEST BROM

QPR head back to Loftus Road on the back of an impressive away win against Blackburn, but also a 3-1 away loss against Norwich. They now prepare to take on a West Brom side known for their erratic and surprising displays away from home. While both teams have been part of high-energy encounters this season, QPR’s tightening at the back gives them a more solid foundation as they look to build on their momentum.

Betting Tip: Draw – 21/10 – PricedUp

SHEFFIELD UNITED vs STOKE

Sheffield United enter this fixture with positive momentum, having claimed wins in three of their last five matches. Their recent successes, highlighted by an impressive 3-2 win over Leicester City on the road, underline their growing confidence and attacking threat. Stoke are currently fourth and come into this fixture after a disappointing 2-1 home loss against Hull. The Potters have conceded five in their last four and will need to limit the number of chances the Blades create, due to Chris Wilder’s side scoring nine in their last three.

Betting Tip: Sheffield United Win – 21/20 – Spreadex

SOUTHAMPTON vs BIRMINGHAM

Despite Southampton having a difficult start to the season, they’ve picked up in recent outings with four wins in their last five. The Saints are currently in 14th, but they're only five points away from the play-off places, so they’ll be confident that they can still be in contention for a play-off spot. The Blues have won three of their last five, consisting of an impressive 4-0 win against third-place Millwall and a 4-1 home win against Norwich. The Blues also won their last outing with a 2-1 win against Watford.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 7/10 – Betway

SWANSEA vs OXFORD

Swansea returns home after a difficult spell, with defensive struggles and inconsistent performances. Oxford come into this fixture with steadier form, showing resilience in close matches. The match promises an open contest, with Swansea’s defensive weakness and Oxford’s threat on the break likely to be key.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 16/25 – QuickBet
