Bumper Card In The EFL Championship On Easter Monday

EASTER MONDAY has always been one of the most exciting dates on the football calendar dating right back to when I was young.

After energy sapping Good Friday exertions, our EFL Championship clubs go once again with muscles aching and sinews stretching to the max.

Multiple issues will be impacted concerning promotion, Play-Offs and relegation. And staggered kick-off times offer a veritable viewing feast for television watchers. So Championship betting interest is reaching crescendo levels.

Here are the upcoming Easter Monday pairings alongside my considered score predictions to assist your football betting…

Millwall v Norwich City

• Kick-off: 1pm

Millwall preview – A sell-out capacity crowd expected. Millwall’s home fortunes are currently mixed bringing two wins and two defeats amid four matches.

Millwall 2025/26 Championship home form – 11 wins, 3 draws, 6 defeats.

Norwich City preview – The Canaries are strong on their travels presently producing six maximum pointers during eight away adventures.

Norwich City 2025/26 Championship away form – 8 wins, 5 draws, 7 defeats.

Score prediction: Level playing field 2-2.

Ipswich Town v Birmingham City

• Kick-off: 3pm

Ipswich Town preview – The Tractor Boys’ only home 2025/26 loss was 3-0 versus Charlton Athletic on Tuesday 21st October. But the past two games at Portman Road resulted in draws.

Ipswich Town 2025/26 Championship home form – 12 wins, 7 draws, 1 defeat.

Birmingham City preview – Three consecutive away defeats for Blues without scoring.

Sheffield Wednesday v Leicester City

• Kick-off: 3pm

Sheffield Wednesday preview – Already relegated, rock bottom, miles adrift and negative points due to some 18 points deducted by the EFL for financial reasons.

Wednesday haven’t won on home soil in Championship combat all campaign miserably amassing five points across 20 attempts. Their previous League victory at Hillsborough was 2-1 against Middlesbrough nearly 12 months ago – namely Easter Monday 21st April 2025.

So I hold massive respect for all the Owls fans who’ve stayed extremely loyal throughout truly traumatic times.

Sheffield Wednesday 2025/26 Championship home form – 0 wins, 5 draws, 15 defeats.

Leicester City preview – Four straight away draws. However the Foxes’ last Championship road trip triumph was on Saturday 6th December, 3-1 versus Derby County.

Leicester City 2025/26 Championship away form – 4 wins, 8 draws, 8 defeats.

Score prediction: Abysmal 0-0.

Swansea City v Middlesbrough

Swansea City 2025/26 Championship home form – 10 wins, 5 draws, 5 defeats.

Middlesbrough preview – Seven successive away EFL encounters featuring merely one defeat which was 3-1 against table toppers Coventry City.

Middlesbrough 2025/26 Championship away form – 10 wins, 5 draws, 5 defeats.
