March 12th: Wednesday’s Championship Double – 5/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With this season’s Championship title chase looking like it could go down to the wire, we have five second-tier showdowns on the cards across Wednesday night.

As promotion contenders Leeds look to claim an essential boost at Elland Road, the likes of a high-flying Portsmouth will also be looking to extend on their top-half charge.

Ahead of what could prove to be an important Wednesday night from both ends of the Championship table, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Championship betting tips.

19:45 Portsmouth vs Plymouth Argyle 

While Portsmouth might have opened up the New Year facing a real battle to keep hold of their Championship status, Wednesday’s hosts have come roaring back in a remarkable fashion. Putting in what was a famous performance at Fratton Park last weekend as they collected a 1-0 victory against Leeds, John Mousinho’s men are riding what has become a sensational wave of momentum. Skyrocketing themselves away from the drop zone and continuing to climb up the table, Pompey now have their sights firmly set on mounting a shock top-half charge. Signing off February with a 2-1 win against QPR, the Blues have remarkably collected 12 points from their previous five Championship appearances. Smelling another golden opportunity in midweek, it should also be highlighted that Portsmouth have won all of their last three consecutive showdowns at Fratton Park by an aggregate score of 5-2.

Although Plymouth might have sprung an almighty FA Cup upset back on February 9th as they secured an iconic 1-0 victory against Premier League giants Liverpool, the Pilgrims have endured a major Championship struggle. Despite dragging themselves over the finishing line last season as they kept hold of their second-tier status, Wednesday’s guests are pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender in 2025. Sat rock-bottom of the Championship table, Plymouth open the midweek fixtures six points adrift of safety and with time really starting to tick away. Last seen putting in another worrying display as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at home against Sheffield Wednesday, Miron Muslic’s side have now lost all of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-1. It should also be noted, Plymouth have not recorded a single Championship victory on their travels so far this season.

20:00 Stoke City vs Blackburn Rovers 

While Blackburn might open the midweek fixtures sat within touching distance of finding a route into the play-off places, Valerien Ismael’s men have struggled to find much recent stability. Slumping to a 2-1 loss away at Derby last weekend, Wednesday’s guests have now collected just a single point from any of their previous three Championship appearances. Signing off February with a woeful 3-0 drumming at the hands of Swansea, the former Watford boss will have a major headache over his side’s glaring issues away from Ewood Park. Including consecutive 2-1 defeats against QPR and Bristol City, Blackburn have lost five of their previous six Championship showdowns outside of Lancashire. Likewise, shipping five goals in their previous two showdowns on the road, the Rovers know that they can’t afford any more public slip-ups if they are to mount a late top-six charge over the final couple of months.

Although Stoke might have stormed their way to a 3-1 victory against Swansea last month, the Potters have failed to use that eye-catching display as a platform to build on. Suffering late heartbreak away at Coventry last weekend as they eventually fell to a pulsating 3-2 loss in the Midlands, Mark Robins’ men are once again looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap. Signing off February with a 3-1 drumming at home against Middlesbrough, Wednesday’s hosts have collected just a single point from any of their previous four Championship appearances. With their recent rut highlighted by an action-packed 4-2 defeat against Norwich on February 22nd, Stoke have gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring defensive struggles. Shipping 10 goals on their four-match winless run, the Potters have registered just a sole clean sheet from any of their previous eight matchups across all competitions.
