Championship Predictions - More Misery for Southampton?

Championships are various competitive processes used to crown one team or individual champion. At 888Sport, we offer all manner of Championship betting markets from opening rounds through to the Playoffs.

Southampton's fight for survival deepened as Nathan Jones' side were demoralised by Brighton in a first-half performance which had its supporters jeering off after an ineffective display at St Mary's.

Birmingham City v QPR

Birmingham City have fallen to seventh in the Championship table following back-to-back away defeats, making a trip to QPR on Friday an extremely daunting challenge. Birmingham boss John Eustace will hope that QPR provide enough of an incentive for his side to gain back the edge as John has spent time as part of their coaching staff from 2018-2022..

QPR are buoyed by the return to fitness of midfielder Jay Stansfield, who netted an equaliser against Swansea last week en route to earning them a 1-1 draw. Unfortunately, both defender Jimmy Dunne and striker Tyler Roberts remain doubtful for this matchup for QPR.

Leeds United v Hull City

Leeds are looking to extend their recent impressive form and will hope to take another three points at Elland Road this Saturday, but will have to do without Australia international Jackson Irvine due to an injury ruling him out.

Both teams will vie against one another in hopes of earning a place in the play-offs, creating plenty of chances on either side. It promises to be an open contest.

Leeds began the second half strong as Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville both saw shots blocked, yet on hour mark Joe Rodon was dismissed due to a reckless challenge against Aaron Connolly. This dealt a severe blow to their chances.

Stoke City v Coventry City

The Potters entered the international break on a positive run of form but now face an opponent with ambitions to qualify for the play-offs at Coventry Building Society Arena.

Jacob Brown and Tyrese Campbell scored early goals for Stoke to give them an easy lead. Brown was involved in numerous dangerous crosses before Campbell beat offside trap to score from Josh Laurent's deflected cross and slot home to give Stoke an advantage they never lost.

Coventry City are unbeaten in nine matches and need just three points to close in on the top six, but have struggled away from Ricoh Arena this season, making a win unlikely; likely outcome: draw

Watford v Leeds

Leeds United are set to face Watford at Elland Road in their next Championship clash, following Daniel Farke's side being held to a goalless draw by Hull City last time out and boasting one of the worst defences in the league.

Yorkshire outfit Yorkshire will aim to increase their survival chances against Hornets who currently stand three points adrift at Vicarage Road. Raphinha has been in fine scoring form this season for Whites, making him an important factor for this matchup.

Leicester City v Bristol City

Leicester will look to continue their impressive start to the season following their 4-1 win against Plymouth last week. They sit second only in the Championship table and have won six out of seven league matches since returning to second tier football.

Enzo Maresca will have a solid selection of players available to him and may recall James Justin, Wilfred Ndidi, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jamie Vardy after resting them for their win against Norwich City. Stephy Mavididi may be included after missing some chances at St Mary's; she may return.

Nigel Pearson of Bristol City may opt to field the side that dominated Plymouth in midweek, although Dennis Praet and Thomas Cannon could miss the trip to King Power Stadium due to injury concerns. Summer signing Ross McCrorie may also not be ready.
