Championship Predictions And Betting Tips for Tuesday 11th February 2025

6 months ago

| BY Tony Incenzo

ANOTHER full midweek programme is approaching for our ever enticing EFL Championship. Four northern powerhouses continue to lead the way in Championship betting promotion odds. And there is a desperate scramble to avoid that dreaded relegation trap door.

Here are the pairings I am anticipating most alongside considered score predictions to assist your football betting…

Watford v Leeds United

Rankings: 10th versus 1st

Current Form:

Watford – Four consecutive defeats at home have seen Watford slip down from Play-Off discussions having previously been unbeaten at Vicarage Road in the early part of 2024/25 when they accrued 29 points out of a possible 33 in front of their own fans.

Leeds United – Two points clear at the top. Unconquered in 13 League affairs winning nine of them. Daniel Farke’s men have kept five consecutive Championship clean sheets. Only two away defeats all campaign.

2024/25 Championship Head to Head:

Tuesday 22nd October 2024: Leeds United 2-1 Watford

Score prediction: Leeds too strong 2-0.

Derby County v Oxford United

Rankings: 22nd versus 17th

Current Form:

Derby County – The Rams sacked head coach Paul Warne on Friday afternoon having lost eight successive matches across all competitions. A 1-1 draw unfolded 24 hours later away to Norwich City under interim boss Matt Hamshaw.

Presently sitting one point below the dotted relegation line, they’ve surrendered the last four home games without scoring. Their last Championship victory at Pride Park was 2-1 versus West Bromwich Albion on Boxing Day. An official approach is on the table to bring Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace to Derby.

Oxford United – Last Tuesday evening’s 1-0 reverse at Burnley signalled a first setback in the 10 League encounters since Gary Rowett assumed new head coach duties. Rowett has been named Championship manager of the month. However the U’s have only won once on their travels throughout 2024/25.
