The Championship serves up a busy Tuesday evening, with eight fixtures taking place across the division.
There are several closely priced encounters, including Blackburn against Stoke and Portsmouth versus Swansea, while Norwich and Sheffield United are among the shorter-priced away favourites.
With plenty of competitive matchups on the card, the odds offer a range of options for those looking to find value in the 1X2 markets.
West Brom vs Southampton
West Brom 29/20 | Draw 12/5 | Southampton 13/8
West Brom are narrow favourites at 29/20, but Southampton are not far behind at 13/8 in what looks a difficult fixture to call. The home advantage gives West Brom a slight edge in the market, although Southampton’s price suggests the visitors are expected to make this a competitive contest.
Prediction: West Brom to win at 29/20.
Preston vs Sheffield United
Preston 21/10 | Draw 5/2 | Sheffield United 11/10
Sheffield United are the shortest-priced side at 11/10, despite having to travel to Preston. The visitors’ price makes them the market favourites, while Preston at 21/10 could appeal to those expecting home advantage to make a difference. The draw at 5/2 is another option in a fixture where the home side should not be overlooked.
Prediction: Sheffield United to win at 11/10.
Blackburn vs Stoke
Blackburn 13/8 | Draw 21/10 | Stoke 13/8
There is very little separating these two sides, with Blackburn and Stoke both priced at 13/8. The draw is available at 21/10 and it’s tough to favour either of the other results. With the market struggling to split the teams, this looks one of the more evenly matched fixtures of the evening.
Prediction: Draw at 21/10.
Derby vs Norwich
Derby 11/5 | Draw 5/2 | Norwich 21/20
Norwich are the clear favourites at 21/20, with Derby priced at 11/5 to claim all three points at home. The visitors’ shorter odds make them an interesting selection, particularly given the potential value compared with the home win price. Derby will have the backing of their home support, but Norwich are favoured to come away with the result.
Prediction: Norwich to win at 21/20.
Portsmouth vs Swansea
Portsmouth 8/5 | Draw 11/5 | Swansea 13/8
Another closely priced encounter sees Portsmouth available at 8/5 and Swansea at 13/8. The visitors are marginally shorter in the market and that’s no surprise given how well they’ve started. The draw at 11/5 is also worth considering, with the prices pointing towards a potentially tight contest.
Prediction: Swansea to win at 13/8.
QPR vs Burnley
QPR EVS | Draw 5/2 | Burnley 12/5
QPR are the clear favourites after a solid start to the season, with strugglers Burnley available at 12/5. The home side’s price makes them an appealing option in the match betting, while Burnley’s odds offer a bigger return for those backing an away result. QPR will be looking to make home advantage count in a fixture where the market gives them a clear edge.
Prediction: QPR to win at evens.
Charlton vs Bolton
Charlton 13/10 | Draw 23/10 | Bolton 19/10
Charlton are favourites at 13/10, but Bolton are available at a tempting 19/10. The home side’s shorter price reflects their position in the market, although Bolton are not considered outsiders by any means, sitting level on points with their hosts. With the draw at 23/10, this could be another competitive encounter where the first goal proves important.
Prediction: Charlton to win at 13/10.
Birmingham vs Millwall
Birmingham 19/20 | Draw 12/5 | Millwall 13/5
Birmingham are favourites at 19/20, making them the only home side on the card priced below evens. Millwall are available at 13/5, while the draw is 12/5. Birmingham’s shorter odds make them an interesting selection, particularly with home advantage on their side, but Millwall’s price offers an alternative for those expecting a tougher test.
Prediction: Birmingham to win at 19/20.
Championship Tuesday best bets
Norwich at 21/20 and QPR at evens stand out among the shorter-priced selections, while Blackburn versus Stoke offers an intriguing draw opportunity at 21/10. For a bigger-priced home selection, Charlton at 13/10 is also worth considering.
