The Championship is heating up with some captivating matchups this week! Let’s see what round 17 has on offer.
After a brief international break, it’s back to what we love this weekend – the action-packed EFL Championship! This season has been full of surprises – with Wolves holding the top spot and Sheffield United closely chasing behind.
Further down the table, Sunderland find themselves in a tough spot, battling relegation after being early favourites for the title. Let’s dive into the key games and betting tips for round 17.
Friday 17 November
Burton Albion 29/10 | Draw 24/10 | Sheffield United 17/20 (21:45)
Burton Albion ended their frustrating run before the break with a solid 1-0 win at Millwall. Sheffield United have been excellent recently but their away form lacks consistency. With Sheffield United winless in their last five clashes against Burton, backing a Burton Albion Win/Draw Double Chance at 8/10 looks a smart move.
Preston 15/20 | Draw 5/2 | Bolton 34/10 (21:45)
Preston haven’t won in six games, while Bolton, despite sitting near the bottom, have been resilient and unbeaten in five. However, Bolton struggle away from home. A tight, low-scoring game is expected so the Under 2.5 Goals at 15/20 is a top pick here.
Saturday 18 November
QPR 33/20 | Draw 22/10 | Aston Villa 31/20 (17:00)
QPR, who suffered a heavy defeat recently, faces promotion hopeful Aston Villa. Aston Villa edged their last match narrowly. QPR’s recent home wins give them confidence, but a draw looks like a sensible bet.
Cardiff 11/10 | Draw 24/10 | Brentford 22/10 (17:00)
Cardiff remains unbeaten at home this season, with Brentford unbeaten in their last eight matches. Their previous encounters have often seen goals from both sides along with an Over 2.5 Goals outcome. The Both Teams to Score option at 13/20 is enticing.
Sunderland 12/10 | Draw 9/4 | Millwall 21/10 (17:00)
Sunderland’s season has been tough with just one win, while Millwall have been struggling too. Yet, this matchup promises excitement with both teams likely to score. Bet on Both Teams to Score – Yes – at 15/20.
Reading 33/10 | Draw 49/20 | Wolves 8/10 (17:00)
Reading shows improvement while table-toppers Wolves boast the best away record. After a rest from club football, expect high intensity. Both Halves Over 1.5 Goals – Yes – at 47/10 is a bold but promising gamble.
Norwich 7/10 | Draw 28/10 | Barnsley 33/10 (17:00)
Norwich looks to rebound after setbacks, while Barnsley arrives with momentum. Norwich have dominated recent meetings at home and are expected to continue their winning streak.
Birmingham 29/20 | Draw 23/10 | Nottingham 17/10 (17:00)
Birmingham has struggled this season, but Nottingham has also had an unpredictable season. Given Nottingham’s recent wins, the Away Win/Draw Double Chance at 5/10 is a likely bet.
Sheffield Wednesday 1/1 | Draw 24/10 | Bristol City 49/20 (17:00)
Sheffield Wednesday is in great form, while Bristol City boasts an impressive away record. Expect goals, making Over 2.5 Goals at 17/20 an appealing market.
Hull City 1/1 | Draw 5/2 | Ipswich 24/10 (17:00)
Despite recent poor form for both, Hull City has an excellent record against Ipswich. A home win at even money is recommended.
Fulham 12/10 | Draw 24/10 | Derby 21/10 (19:30)
Fulham have struggled to get wins, whereas Derby is on a hot streak with recent victories. Derby is expected to continue their form with a win at 21/10.
Sunday 19 November
Leeds 18/10 | Draw 21/10 | Middlesbrough 15/10 (15:15)
Leeds have been inconsistent with numerous losses, while Middlesbrough remains unbeaten in recent away games. The international break might have refocused Leeds though, with home advantage seeming significant. The Under 2.5 Goals market at 6/10 is our pick for a tight contest.
TREBLE @ 30/1
- Preston vs Bolton Under 2.5 Goals 15/20
- Reading vs Wolves Both Halves Over 1.5 Goals 47/10
- Derby Win 21/10
