Norwich City vs Watford: Both Teams To Score: No (+130)

Odds correct at time of publishing

When Norwich City faces Watford, the stats paint a clear picture: both teams are struggling to find the net lately. Norwich's home form has dipped, averaging just 1.8 goals while conceding 1.6 at Carrow Road. Meanwhile, Watford's away performance has been even more dire, with a shocking average of just 0.2 goals scored in their last five games. Both sides also show an xG average of zero in recent outings, indicating a lack of quality chances. With Watford’s attack faltering, and Norwich not exactly firing on all cylinders, the likelihood of both teams scoring looks bleak. Their last five encounters featured three games where at least one failed to score, reinforcing the trend that makes a 'No' bet on both teams to score an intriguing option. Expect a tactical battle rather than a goal fest.

Odds correct at time of publishing

When Stoke City hosts Preston North End, the dynamics favor the visitors. While Stoke has enjoyed a decent home run, their recent form against Preston is concerning, going just 1-3-1 in their last five encounters. Preston, despite struggling away lately, has shown flashes of resilience, particularly in their attacking stats, averaging 12 shots per game, compared to Stoke's 11.4. Moreover, Stoke's defensive frailties have been exposed, conceding an average of 2.4 goals per game to opponents in recent outings. Preston's ability to capitalize on these weaknesses could be the key to their success. With a solid xG average and Stoke’s inconsistent home form coupled with Preston's desire to break their away slump, backing Preston for the win presents a tantalizing opportunity. This match could see a surprising turnaround for the away side.

Middlesbrough vs Charlton Athletic: Charlton Athletic Moneyline (+1000)

Odds correct at time of publishing

When Middlesbrough hosts Charlton Athletic, it’s easy to overlook the visitors, especially given their recent struggles. However, the trends tell a different story. While Middlesbrough has been solid at home, averaging 2.6 goals over their last five matches, their defense has shown vulnerability, conceding an average of 1.4 goals. Charlton, despite a shaky away form, finds a glimmer of hope in their past encounters, having held Middlesbrough to a draw recently. Charlton's low-scoring woes mask their potential; in the last five away matches, they’ve averaged just 0.8 goals but have faced tough opponents, with an xG that reflects their struggles rather than their capabilities. With a significant edge in implied probability for an upset, this matchup presents an enticing opportunity. Charlton can capitalize on any defensive lapses from Middlesbrough, making them a compelling bet to secure a surprise victory.

Burnley vs Portsmouth: Both Teams To Score: No (+114)

Odds correct at time of publishing

As Burnley prepares to face Portsmouth, the signs point towards a low-scoring affair. Burnley’s recent home form is concerning, struggling with a goal average of just 1.2 at Turf Moor while conceding 1.6. They’ve not found the back of the net often lately, with their last five games yielding an xG of 0. On the other hand, Portsmouth's away struggles are glaring, averaging a mere 0.6 goals and an opponent xG of only 0 during their last five outings. With both teams failing to show consistent attacking prowess, especially in front of goal, it’s hard to envision a scenario where both find the net. Given the stats and trends, betting on 'No' for both teams to score feels like the right move here.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Cardiff City: Cardiff City Moneyline (+360)

Odds correct at time of publishing

As Wolverhampton Wanderers gear up to host Cardiff City, the form book hints at an intriguing clash. While Wolves have had a decent home record, their recent performances show a troubling trend; they average just 1 goal scored in their last five matches at home. Cardiff, on the other hand, is bouncing back with a robust away performance, clocking in an impressive 2.4 goals per game over their last five, even if they’ve struggled on the road lately. Wolves may dominate possession, but they’ve been prone to defensive lapses, conceding 1.2 goals on average at home. Cardiff’s attacking prowess, combined with their ability to frustrate home teams, makes them a tempting pick here. With Cardiff's away odds of 4.6, it's a risk worth taking—they have the potential to upset Wolves and deliver a rewarding return.

Southampton vs Queens Park Rangers: Both Teams To Score: No (+143)

Odds correct at time of publishing

As Southampton gets ready to host Queens Park Rangers, the numbers tell a compelling story favoring a 'No' on the Both Teams to Score market. The Saints have been solid at home, boasting a 4-1-0 record in their last five home matches, while allowing just 0.6 goals per game during this stretch. With an impressive xG against of 0, they’ve been resolute in defense, limiting their opponents' chances effectively. On the flip side, QPR has struggled to find the net, particularly away, averaging only 0.8 goals in their last five trips and failing to score against Southampton in their previous four encounters. With Southampton's recent form suggesting they can keep a clean sheet and QPR's offensive woes, it’s hard to envision both sides hitting the scoresheet. So, a bet on 'No' for both teams scoring seems not just reasonable, but a smart play.

Odds correct at time of publishing

As Derby County travels to Millwall, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter. Despite their recent struggles, Derby's historical advantage against Millwall—winning three of the last five meetings—offers a glimmer of hope. While both teams have been inconsistent, Derby’s determination to break their winless streak could play a pivotal role. Millwall's home record reflects a shaky 1-2-2 in their last five, with an average of just 1.6 goals scored at home and an xG that hasn’t impressed. Meanwhile, Derby, despite a rough patch, has shown a fighting spirit, averaging one goal away and creating chances that, if capitalized on, could turn the tide. With both teams trending down, this match presents an opportunity for Derby to thrive on their historical edge, making them a compelling pick for the win.

Swansea City vs Blackburn Rovers: Blackburn Rovers Moneyline (+350)

Odds correct at time of publishing

As Swansea City prepares to face Blackburn Rovers, recent form strongly favors the visitors. While Swansea has a decent home record, they've faltered against Blackburn historically, with the Rovers boasting a superior record of 4-0-1 in their last five encounters. Blackburn's recent away form shows promise, averaging 1.2 goals scored, and they’ve tightened up defensively, limiting opponents to 1.4 goals per game. Swansea's attacking output has been lackluster, managing only 1.4 goals at home while facing an average of 0.6 from opponents. With Blackburn's xG metrics indicating they’ve been creating more chances despite scoring inconsistently, they appear poised to capitalize on any opportunities against a Swansea side that struggles defensively. Given these trends, betting on Blackburn to emerge victorious seems a savvy choice, especially at attractive odds.

West Ham United vs West Bromwich Albion: West Bromwich Albion Moneyline (+400)

Odds correct at time of publishing

When West Bromwich Albion visits West Ham United, the odds might seem stacked against the Baggies, but recent trends tell a different story. West Brom has shown resilience on the road, managing a balanced 2-1-2 record in their last five away games. They've averaged a solid 1 goal per match, while West Ham’s last home outings reveal a more mixed bag, scoring 3.2 but conceding 1.2. What stands out is West Brom's defensive tenacity; they’ve allowed just 1.2 goals on the road, which could disrupt a West Ham side that’s been a tad unpredictable at home. With an impressive expected goals (xG) output that remains relatively stable, West Brom presents intriguing value at those odds. If they can capitalize on their chances and maintain their defensive shape, we might just see an upset that the stats don’t fully predict.

Quick answer

What are EFL Championship picks?

EFL Championship picks are model-generated predictions for EFL Championship betting markets including 1X2 (match result), Asian Handicap, totals (over/under goals) and player props. Bet Better makes its picks with a model that works out how often each result happens, compares that to the bookmakers' prices, and lists the bets where the price looks too generous, with the reasoning written in plain English on every pick.

What you get on this page

Every upcoming EFL Championship match with predictions across all major markets. Expand any match to see picks ranked strongest first, with probability, best odds, and the model's full reasoning. For player markets, jump to Props.

Probability Model

The model's estimated chance the outcome wins. A probability of 65% means the model thinks it wins 65 times in 100 equivalent scenarios.

Edge Value

The gap between model probability and the bookmaker's chance the price suggests from odds. A pick means the model thinks the true chance is higher than the price suggests.

Best Odds Market

The top available decimal odds at the time of calculation. Odds move — always verify at your sportsbook before placing a bet.

  1. Find a match. Matches are listed in chronological order. Tap "Show Picks" to expand markets and reasoning for that fixture.

EFL Championship Picks FAQ

Quick answers
What are EFL Championship picks?

EFL Championship picks are our model's call on which side to back in a EFL Championship match. The model reads past results and the current bookmaker prices, then names the side it rates best and says why in plain words.

What is the difference between EFL Championship picks and EFL Championship best bets?

This page is the full list, and best bets is the short list. Picks cover every EFL Championship match on the card across every market, while best bets keeps only the ones the model rates strongest that day. If you want the model's top selections only, use Picks.

What types of EFL Championship picks are available?

We post EFL Championship picks on who wins or whether it is a draw, total goals, both teams to score, and handicaps. Game and player markets sit together inside each match, with the strongest pick at the top.

How often are EFL Championship picks updated?

They refresh through the day, and again whenever team news or the bookmaker prices move. Later prices carry more information, so the list you see close to start time is the one to trust.

What makes something a pick here?

A pick is named when our model rates a side better than the bookmaker's price says. The wider that gap, the higher the confidence we show, and confidence is a lean over a long run of bets, never a promise on one game.

Can I use EFL Championship picks as legs in multi bets?

Yes, any pick on this page can be a leg in a multi. Each extra leg makes the whole bet harder to land, so two or three strong legs beat a long list. For structured multi recommendations with a combined chance shown, use the EFL Championship Multis page.

Does Bet Better guarantee EFL Championship picks will win?

No, and nobody can. EFL Championship picks are our best read of what is likely, and good picks still lose, so only ever stake money you can afford to lose. If gambling is affecting your health or finances, contact the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au.

What time do EFL Championship picks come out?

As soon as the day's matches and prices are up. The list is rebuilt several times a day, and again close to start time when team news and prices move, so the version you see nearest kick-off is the one to read. Most matches land on the weekend, with midweek rounds as well.

Do you pick every EFL Championship match?

No. We only name a side when our model likes it more than the price suggests. Some matches get nothing at all, and that is on purpose - a quiet day here means there was nothing worth backing, not that something is broken.

What does HIGH confidence mean?

We say it in words, not numbers. HIGH means our model likes the pick the most. LEAN means it likes it, but less. LONG-SHOT means a big price that wins less often and pays more when it lands. Confidence is how it should go over a long run of bets, never a promise on one match.

Do I have to pay to see the EFL Championship picks?

The first pick in every match is free to read, with no signup. The rest unlock with a subscription. Either way every pick we publish is graded in public, wins and losses, on our results page.
