Saturday's Championship predictions including Norwich City vs. Derby County (2024)

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's Championship action, including Norwich City vs. Derby County.

Norwich vs. Derby (Saturday, 12.30pm)

Norwich City play host to Derby County on Saturday afternoon looking to end a two-match winless streak in the Championship.

Meanwhile, the Rams make the trip to Carrow Road having lost all three matches in the league this season, conceding eight goals.

We say: Norwich City 3-1 Derby County

With Derby showing no kind of form at either end of the pitch, we can only back Norwich to emerge victorious here. While the Canaries have been slow to get going this season, Farke's men will view this as the ideal opportunity to get back on track.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Blackburn vs. Cardiff (Saturday, 3.00pm)

In-form Blackburn Rovers will be looking to keep their positive run going when they welcome slow starters Cardiff City to Ewood Park on Saturday afternoon.

Rovers lost their opening game of the season but have since scored eight goals without conceding in back-to-back wins, while Cardiff have three points from the first nine on offer.

We say: Blackburn Rovers 2-2 Cardiff City

Blackburn have scored goals for fun this season and enter this game in better form than Cardiff, although the Bluebirds do boast one of the best away returns in the division.

Given that the last four league meetings between the sides at Ewood Park have finished level, we are tipping the spoils to be shared on Saturday afternoon.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Luton vs. Wycombe (Saturday, 3.00pm)

We say: Luton Town 2-1 Wycombe Wanderers

Wycombe need to break their duck at some stage this season, and Ainsworth may feel that they can take advantage of Luton's recent drop-off in form. However, the Hatters are most dangerous in tight matches, and they should have enough character within their ranks to edge out their next opponents.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Middlesbrough vs. Barnsley (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Middlesbrough will have head coach Neil Warnock back on the touchline for Saturday's Championship clash with Barnsley, and it will be a special occasion for the 71-year-old.

Warnock was forced to take control of the clashes with Bournemouth and Queens Park Rangers remotely after testing positive for coronavirus, but the head coach is back for what will be his 1,500th league game at the helm.

We say: Middlesbrough 2-1 Barnsley

Boro will view this match as the perfect opportunity to put three points on the board, and we expect the home side to emerge victorious on Saturday. Warnock's return to the touchline should boost the team, and Boro will fancy their chances of triumphing at the Riverside Stadium.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Nott'm Forest vs. Bristol City (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Nottingham Forest welcome Bristol City to the City Ground on Saturday afternoon still looking for their first goal or point in the Championship this season.

In sharp contrast, Bristol City have recorded three successive victories, as well as keeping clean sheets in their most recent two outings.

We say: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Bristol City

Lamouchi knows that he is fighting for his job at the City Ground, and that may lead to his players responding to a team talk which he knows could make or break his prospects going forward. However, Bristol City have been efficient this season, and we expect more of the same from the Robins at the weekend.

Reading vs. Watford (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Reading will be out to maintain their perfect start to the Championship campaign when they take on Watford at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Royals beat Cardiff City last week to make it three wins from three to begin the campaign, while Watford are two points further back after making a positive start of their own.

We say: Reading 1-0 Watford

Watford have been very strong defensively so far this season but they have not exactly been free-scoring at the other end of the field.

The Hornets' away record is pretty poor and we can see them slipping to a first loss of the campaign this weekend.

Should that happen, Reading boss Paunovic will become the first manager to win his first four league matches in England's top four tiers since Maurizio Sarri for Chelsea in 2018.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Rotherham vs. Huddersfield (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Rotherham United head into their next Championship fixture of the season against Huddersfield Town sitting comfortably in mid-table after three matches.

However, the Millers are just one point above their next opponents, whose opening goal of the campaign against Nottingham Forest last week led to their first win under Carlos Corberan.

We say: Rotherham United 1-1 Huddersfield Town

Everything points to this encounter being a war of attrition over a goalfest. Taking their respective records in the final third into consideration, we expect these sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring game in Yorkshire.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Sheff Weds vs. QPR (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Sheffield Wednesday will be aiming to pick themselves up on the back of successive defeats when they host Queens Park Rangers in the Championship on Saturday.

The Owls were knocked out of the EFL Cup last week and then went down 2-0 to Bristol City, while QPR have made an identical start to the season with four points from three games.

We say: Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Queens Park Rangers

Wednesday are winless in seven home league matches and QPR have failed to pick up a victory in their last four away outings.

That, combined with the sides' identical records from the first three games this term, suggests that the points could be shared on Saturday.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or draw.

Swansea vs. Millwall (Saturday, 3.00pm)

Swansea City and Millwall meet at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday afternoon having both put together three-match unbeaten streaks in the Championship.

While the Swans have seven points to their name courtesy of two wins and a draw, the Lions sit two points adrift after claiming just one league win in September.

We say: Swansea City 1-1 Millwall

With these clubs possessing two of the best defensive records in the second tier, do not expect many goals in this game. While Swansea will look to make most of the running, they do not have the firepower to put themselves into a commanding position, something which should allow Millwall to earn a share of the spoils.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
