A SHORTENED programme of EFL Championship action approaches this week bringing plenty of talking points.

In particular, the push for Play-Off qualification is under intense scrutiny. Accordingly, Championship betting interest is reaching fever pitch.

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

Southampton v Norwich City

• Kick-off: 7.45pm

Southampton vs Norwich Odds:

• Southampton – 19/20
• Draw – 12/5
• Norwich – 5/2

Southampton preview – Protecting 12 unbeaten matches spanning all competitions. I thought Saturday’s 2-1 triumph at League leaders Coventry City was very impressive. Saints’ last home defeat arrived on Saturday 17th January against Hull City.

First team head coach Tonda Eckert said: “We are moving in the right direction as a club. But we need to keep our heads down and continue to work hard. There are so many more important steps to go this season.”

Southampton 2025/26 Championship home form – 8 wins, 6 draws, 3 defeats.

Norwich City preview – Nine victories enrich 11 League fixtures culminating in four consecutive maximum pointers. Additionally, the upwardly mobile Canaries possess five wins within six ongoing away assignments.

Fortunes prospering positively beyond the November 18th head coach appointment of Philippe Clement when Norwich were second bottom. Clement said: “I believe all our supporters will be really pleased about the resilient mentality my team is showing.”

Norwich City 2025/26 Championship away form – 7 wins, 5 draws, 6 defeats.

Score prediction: Saints go marchin’ in 3-2.
