EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 6TH – 8TH MARCH 2026 

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

PRESTON VS OXFORD

The Lilywhites were inside the play-offs for the majority of the season, but they’ve recently dropped to 11th with just two points from their last four. Paul Heckingbottom’s side comes into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 2-0 home loss against Millwall. Oxford are currently 23rd, three points away from safety.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 7/10 - BetMGM

BLACKBURN VS PORTSMOUTH

Blackburn finished last season just one place outside the play-off places, so supporters will be disappointed with their current campaign; Rovers are just two places above the relegation zone. Portsmouth are just one place above Blackburn in 19th, and both teams come into this fixture on the back of two consecutive losses.

Betting Tip: Draw – 11/5 - High Bet

HULL VS MILLWALL

Hull and Millwall are currently inside the play-offs, so both sides will look to secure crucial points in their aims for promotion. Hull will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss against Ipswich in their recent outing. Millwall have been in excellent form recently, winning four of their last five.

Betting Tip: Millwall Win – 67/50 - 247 Bet

BRISTOL CITY VS COVENTRY

Bristol City are sitting in mid-table, with just one win from their last three. This result came in a 2-1 away win against Blackburn; Emil Riis and Scott Twine were the goal scorers. The Robins recently lost 1-0 against League One side Port Vale in the FA Cup fourth round. League leaders Coventry are five points clear at the top, so they’ll be looking to expand the gap on Middlesbrough.

Betting Tip: Coventry Win – EVS – BetMGM

CHARLTON VS BIRMINGHAM

Charlton were defensively solid at the start of the season, but they’ve recently dropped to 18th; they’re without a clean sheet in their last four. The Addicks are seven points clear of the relegation zone, and they come into this fixture on the back of a 1-0 home loss against Wrexham. Birmingham have struggled for form in recent outings, losing their last two against Millwall and Middlesbrough.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 69/100 - High Bet

DERBY VS SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

Throughout the season, Derby have struggled for consistency. The Rams come into this fixture on the back of a poor run, losing three of their last five. They come into this fixture on the back of a 3-1 home win against Blackburn, so they’ll look to build momentum. Sheffield Wednesday have endured financial turmoil this season; the Owls have been officially relegated to League One.

Betting Tip: Derby To Score Over 2.5 Goals – 6/5 - 247 Bet

IPSWICH VS LEICESTER

Ipswich are currently third in the table, three points away from an automatic promotion place. The Tractor Boys have won their last three against Watford, Swansea and Hull; Kieran McKenna’s side kept clean sheets in all three of these wins. The Foxes have dropped into the relegation zone, due to a points deduction.

Betting Tip: Ipswich/Ipswich - 5/4 - BetMGM

SHEFFIELD UNITED VS WEST BROM

Sheffield United come into this fixture on the back of a positive spell of form, winning three of their last four. Callum O'Hare is the club’s top goal scorer with eight goals; he managed to get on the score sheet last time out against QPR. West Brom are just one place above the relegation zone; the Baggies are winless in their last five.

Betting Tip: Goal In Both Halves – 19/25 - High Bet
