Championship Predictions Today – Tuesday 9th December 2025

DECEMBER is always a pivotal month for our EFL Championship because so many fixtures are scheduled.

Another round of midweek combat is rapidly approaching where both the top and bottom of the table will be impacted. Accordingly, current Championship betting odds are worth studying.

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

Preston North End v Coventry City

• Kick-off: 7.45pm
• Rankings: 5th versus 1st

Preston North End preview – Five points below the automatic promotion rungs following one defeat in eight encounters. Home performances during 2025/26 yield five wins, three draws and two losses.

Coventry City preview – Saturday’s emphatic 3-0 capitulation at Ipswich Town was only Cov’s second loss of the season (both away) and terminated five straight victories.

The Sky Blues thereby see their advantage at the summit cut to seven points. They remain divisional foremost scorers racking up 50 goals.

Score prediction: Epic 3-3.

Charlton Athletic v Middlesbrough

• Kick-off: 7.45pm
• Rankings: 17th versus 2nd

Charlton Athletic preview – The home fixture against Portsmouth on Saturday was abandoned after 12 minutes due to a medical emergency.

Charlton subsequently reported life-long supporter Norman Barker had sadly passed away. Returning to action on Tuesday, the Addicks nurse four consecutive defeats conceding 12 goals.

Middlesbrough preview – Back to back maximum pointers for new boss Kim Hellberg. Furthermore, one defeat inside six games leave Boro seven points behind the leaders.

Score prediction: Charlton do it for Norman 1-0.

Watford v Sheffield Wednesday

• Kick-off: 7.45pm
• Rankings: 13th versus 24th

Watford preview – Just one defeat in seven matches. So fortunes improving since Javi Gracia recommenced head coach duties on 8th October. Their solitary League loss at Vicarage Road this season was 1-0 against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday 13th September.

Sheffield Wednesday preview – A total of 18 points deducted by the EFL means rock bottom Wednesday slumber on minus 10 points.

Therefore an insurmountable 28 points to make up in retaining Championship status. The beleaguered Owls possess one Championship win all campaign – namely 2-0 away to Portsmouth on Saturday 20th September.

They’ve lost the last four games prior to Saturday’s abandonment at Blackburn Rovers amid torrential rain.

Score prediction: Hornets hotshots 4-1.
