EFL CHAMPIONSHIP BETTING TIPS AND PREDICTIONS 6TH-9TH FEBRUARY 2026

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.

CHARLTON VS QPR

After promotion from League One last season, the Addicks had a positive start to the Championship and looked like play-off contenders. However, they’ve recently dropped to 18th after a poor run of form. Despite this, Nathan Jones’s side will be looking to build on their recent 2-0 away win against Leicester. QPR are sitting in mid-table, and the Hoops managed to beat league leaders Coventry 2-1 last time out.

Betting Tip: Both Teams To Score – 10/13 – BetMGM

DERBY VS IPSWICH

The Rams have struggled for consistency throughout the season, but they’ve looked much better in recent fixtures, securing ten points from their last four. John Eustace’s side will be looking to secure important points in their push for the play-offs. Ipswich recently went on a great run, winning three on the bounce, but they’ve secured just one point from their last two.

Betting Tip: Derby Win – 129/50 – High Bet

NORWICH VS BLACKBURN ROVERS

Under the management of Philippe Clement, Norwich has managed to move out of the relegation places. The canaries managed to win three in a row before losing out to Middlesbrough 1-0 last time out. Blackburn Rovers finished 14th last season, so many supporters would have expected their side to build on this performance, but they’re currently just one place above the relegation zone.

Betting Tip: Norwich Win – EVS – 247 Bet

SOUTHAMPTON VS WATFORD

The Saints are 14th in the table with ten league wins this season. Tonda Eckert’s side comes into this fixture on the back of an impressive 2-0 away win against Stoke; Finn Azaz and Flynn Downes were the goal scorers. Watford are just two places away from a play-off position, but they have been winless in their last five.

Betting Tip: Finn Azaz To Have A Shot On Target – 7/10 – BetMGM

BIRMINGHAM VS LEICESTER

The Blues are currently 13th in the table, undefeated in their last five league outings. Birmingham has been excellent at St Andrew's, only losing one home game in the league this season. The Foxes were poor last time out, losing 2-0 at home to Charlton. Memeh Caleb Okoli got sent off in the 15th minute, which put them in a difficult position.

Betting Tip: Birmingham Win – 11/16 - High Bet

COVENTRY VS OXFORD

League leaders Coventry are on joint points with Middlesbrough in second due to Frank Lampard’s side losing their last two against Norwich and QPR. The Sky Blues will be aiming to regain momentum at the CBS Arena, where they’ve been so strong throughout the season. Oxford are two places from the bottom, the U’s are five points away from safety.

Betting Tip: Coventry To Score Over Two Goals – 43/50 – 247 Bet

HULL VS BRISTOL CITY

The Tigers finished just one place above the relegation zone last season, but they’ve surprised many during the current campaign. Sergej Jakirović’s side is currently third in the table; they drew with Watford last time out, but managed to win four league outings in a row prior to this fixture. Bristol City are 10th in the table and come into this fixture on the back of a 5-0 home loss against Derby County.

Betting Tip: Hull Win – 13/10 – BetMGM

PRESTON VS PORTSMOUTH

Preston have stayed in the play-off places for the majority of the season, but they’ve recently dropped to ninth after losing three of their last four. The Lilywhites scored just one goal during this fixture run. Portsmouth are two places above the relegation zone, but John Mousinho’s side has looked better in recent outings, with eight points from their last four.

Betting Tip: Portsmouth Win – 39/20 - High Bet

WEST BROM VS STOKE

The Baggies are currently sitting in the relegation zone after losing four of their last five. However, points against Stoke could see them move out of the relegation places. Stoke are sitting in 12th, winless in their last four.

Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals – 5/8 – 247 Bet

WREXHAM VS MILLWALL

The Red Dragons secured promotion from League One last season, which made it three promotions in a row. Wrexham are currently sixth in the Championship and come into this fixture on the back of consecutive wins against QPR and Sheffield Wednesday. The Lions are one place above Wrexham in the table. Millwall have looked good recently with a 2-0 away win against Watford and a 4-0 home win against Charlton.

Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals – 27/25 – BetMGM

SWANSEA VS SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY

Swansea have won two of their last three, so the Swans will be looking to build on their recent performances and secure three points against Sheffield Wednesday, who have endured financial turmoil this season. Due to a point deduction, the owls are 39 points away from safety.

Betting Tip: Swansea To Score The First Goal – 27/100 - High Bet

SHEFFIELD UNITED VS MIDDLESBROUGH

Sheffield United have struggled for consistency throughout the season. Under the management of Chris Wilder, the Blades have secured seven points from their last three. Middlesbrough have been excellent recently, winning their last five. This has taken them to being on joint points as league leaders, Coventry.

Betting Tip: Middlesbrough Win – 11/5 – 247 Bet
