December 9th: Tuesday’s Championship Double – 5/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

While the Champions League might steal plenty of Tuesday’s headlines, we do have another stacked schedule from across England’s second-tier.

With battles at both ends of the Championship table looking like they will go right down to the wire, runaway leaders Coventry will be seeking an immediate response in midweek.

Now entering what is a stacked festive fixture list, we have taken a glance at some of Tuesday’s most noteworthy Championship betting tips.

19:45 Sheffield United vs Norwich City 

Although Sheffield United might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of what was a record-breaking rut, Chris Wilder’s men have certainly come roaring back in a remarkable fashion since returning from November’s international break. Last seen over the weekend putting in what was a season-best performance as they cruised their way to an empathic 4-0 victory at home against Stoke, the Blades will be dreaming of a repeat display here. Enjoying what has quickly become a real purple patch, United have come skyrocketing up the Championship standings and they will certainly be smelling another golden opportunity on Tuesday night. Signing off November with a stellar 3-2 win away at Leicester, the former Middlesbrough boss has seen his resurgent squad win all of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances. Marking their return from November’s fortnight interval with a 3-0 romp away at arch-rivals Sheffield Wednesday, the Blades have also found a major clinical edge in the final third. In fact, United have won those four straight Championship showdowns by an aggregate score of 13-2.

While Philippe Clement might have only arrived at Carrow Road less than a month ago, the former Rangers boss will be more than aware that he has an almighty job on his hands in Norfolk. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny this season, Norwich are still firmly sat in the relegation zone and face a real uphill battle in the race to keep hold of their second-tier status. Suffering major frustration over the weekend as they threw away the lead twice and fell to a 3-2 defeat away at Watford, the Canaries will be bracing themselves for what is another monumental challenge here. Marking their return from November’s international break with a woeful 4-1 drumming against Birmingham, Norwich have remarkably registered just a single win from any of their previous 15 consecutive Championship appearances – a rut that stems all the way back to the end of August. Likewise, along with losing five of their last six showdowns outside of Norfolk, Clement’s side have shipped seven goals in their previous two matchups away from Carrow Road.

20:00 QPR vs Birmingham City 

While QPR might have signed off November with a downbeat 3-1 loss away at relegation scrappers Norwich, the Hoops come roaring back in an eye-catching fashion over the weekend. Putting in a rampant performance at Loftus Road as they stormed their way to a 3-1 victory against West Brom, Julien Stephan’s side have skyrocketed their way into the top-half of the Championship standings. In fact, getting Tuesday’s showdown underway suddenly sat within touching distance of finding a route into the play-off places, the former Rennes boss should find the mood in his camp at a continued high. Marking their return from November’s international break with an action-packed 3-2 win at home against Hull, QPR have won three of their previous four Championship appearances. Enjoying what has become their most fruitful spell since the start of October, Tuesday’s hosts have also won back-to-back Championship showdowns in west London by an aggregate score of 6-3.

Although Birmingham might have only made their Championship return this season, it is no secret that the Blues have their sights firmly set on mounting another promotion charge this time around. However, despite hoping to skyrocket their way into the play-off places here, Chris Davies’ men are certainly seeking some recent stability. Putting in a downbeat display over the weekend as they slumped to a 3-1 loss away at Southampton, Tuesday’s guests have won just a pair of their previous five Championship appearances. Heading into November’s international break with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough, Davies’ camp are also searching for some much-welcomed defensive stability. Despite getting November underway with consecutive 4-0 romps against Portsmouth and Millwall, it should be highlighted that Birmingham have recorded just a trio of clean sheets from any of their last 13 outings – a run that stems back to September 20th.
