Championship Predictions And Betting Tips for Monday 3rd February 2025

IT is an exciting period for Championship betting with merely three points separating our top three clubs who all failed to win last time out.

So we preview another full programme of weekend fixtures heading into February. Here are the pairings I am anticipating most alongside considered score predictions to assist your live betting.

Middlesbrough v Sunderland

Rankings: 6th versus 4th before the weekend

A crucial North-East derby in our hectic Play-Off zone. Middlesbrough must improve on two wins accrued in nine League and Cup games if they want to stay at the business end of Championship tussles.

Exciting marksman Morgan Whittaker is set for his Boro debut completing a £6 million Plymouth Argyle switch.

Contrastingly, Sunderland are unbeaten in five EFL fixtures sitting three points beneath second spot. Ironically ahead of Monday, those Black Cats have joined the race to sign Ajax’s former Middlesbrough striker Chuba Akpom.

Score prediction: Anxious and apprehensive 0-0.
