Championship Predictions – Tuesday 21st October 2025

MATCHES are arriving thick and fast as our EFL Championship dishes up another intriguing round of midweek action.

One club remain unbeaten thereby attracting plenty of Championship betting interest. Meanwhile, two Sheffield outfits continue to prop up the table.

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

Portsmouth v Coventry City Prediction

• Kick-off: 7.45pm

Portsmouth preview: Three games unconquered culminating in Saturday’s creditable 1-1 draw away to high-flying Leicester City. Home fortunes are quite mixed for Portsmouth accruing two maximum pointers from five Championship attempts this campaign.

Pompey boss John Mousinho said: “We need increased confidence and belief in ourselves to be totally ruthless when attacking.”

Coventry City preview: A point clear at the top and still undefeated in EFL endeavours. They’ve won the last four games scoring 14 times without reply. Indeed, five clean sheets on the spin.

Overall, free-flowing Coventry are divisional foremost scorers racking up 29 goals. Furthermore, Haji Wright is Championship leading marksman on eight strikes.

Score prediction: Cov cruise 3-0.

Millwall v Stoke City Prediction

• Kick-off: 7.45pm

Millwall preview: Hovering one point behind Tuesday night’s opponents. Millwall currently possess two straight wins complementing one defeat in six games to climb into Play-Off discussions.

I watched their 2-1 victory against QPR inside the Loftus Road press box on Saturday. I felt the Lions gave a really professional performance with dominant defenders commanding all aerial duels.

Stoke City preview: Three consecutive draws followed by Saturday’s 1-0 home triumph over Wrexham. Merely one away loss which was 1-0 at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday 20th September.

Potters boss Mark Robins said this week: “It’s exciting for us because I know important team bonds are in place and I have the making of a very good side.” His men sit three points shy of second spot.

Score prediction: Palpitating 3-3.

Hull City v Leicester City Prediction

• Kick-off: 7.45pm

Hull City preview: Back to back victories garnishing a three game unbeaten spree. Championship home form is decent amassing three wins and a draw during five matches.

Leicester City preview: Enjoying eight games undefeated. But five draws within the past six encounters leave the Foxes four points below those automatic promotion rungs.

Just one EFL reverse throughout 2025/26 – that came on Saturday 16th August surrendering 2-1 at Preston North End.

Score prediction: Insipid 0-0.

Blackburn Rovers v Sheffield United Prediction

• Kick-off: 7.45pm

Blackburn Rovers preview: A desperate early season relegation dog fight. Rovers are a point adrift of the dreaded dotted relegation line after three defeats amid four winless engagements.

Significantly, they’ve yet pick up three points at home in 2025/26 across four League games. Accordingly, pressure in mounting on Valerien Ismael in the Championship managerial sack race.

Sheffield United preview: One point under Blackburn. However, two wins in four outings suggest things are starting to pick up since Chris Wilder’s reappointment as manager on 15th September.

Even so, Wilder has to rapidly correct the division’s worst tally of four goals scored.

Score prediction: Wilder wonderland 2-0.
