Championship Predictions: Can Leicester Escape the Relegation Zone?

Our football betting expert, Jones Knows, provides insights and top tips for every Sky Bet Championship match on Good Friday. Birmingham's tendency to start strong at home makes their 6/4 odds to be winning at half-time an attractive bet. The team's expected goals figure before the break is the highest in the Championship, and they have scored the second-most home goals before half-time. This bet is about capitalizing on Birmingham's fast starts, rather than backing them to win outright. Follow Sky Sports for the latest sports news and analysis. The appointment of Hodgson at Bristol City is a move that raises eyebrows, and with the team struggling with injuries, a home win at 23/20 with Sky Bet seems like a good bet. Leicester City is fighting for survival, and their situation is straightforward: results are everything. Gary Rowett's influence could be pivotal in helping the team grind out results. A low-scoring home win is a likely outcome. Norwich City has earned the most Championship points since Christmas, with 12 wins from 17 matches, and has kept seven clean sheets in 12 league games. The home win against struggling Portsmouth is a generous price at Evens with Sky Bet. Oxford has created 3.6 expected goals from set-pieces in their last five games, and with Hull conceding the second-most xG from set-pieces, Michal Helik is a good bet to score at 10/1 with Sky Bet. Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is a good wager at Evens with Sky Bet, given Loftus Road's reputation as the highest-scoring Championship venue. The hosts at Bramall Lane have gone nine games without a clean sheet, making it a good opportunity to oppose clean sheets and back Zan Vipotnik to score at 11/4 with Sky Bet. Stoke City has turned into one of the more watchable teams in the division, and with the return of Million Manhoef, their attacking output has increased. Backing a Stoke win and over 2.5 goals at 10/11 with Sky Bet makes sense. George Campbell is playing with confidence and has scored three goals in his last six games, making him a good bet to score at 10/1 with Sky Bet. Coventry City is charging towards the Championship title and knows that 11 points from their final seven matches will be enough to seal a return to the Premier League. Backing Coventry to win and over 2.5 goals at 11/8 with Sky Bet looks like a good bet. Recommended bets include a treble on Norwich to win, over 2.5 goals, and BTTS in QPR vs Watford, and Coventry to win and over 2.5 goals, as well as singles on Michal Helik and George Campbell to score.
