While all of England’s elite might steal plenty of Saturday’s attention, we are treated to a stacked schedule from across the Championship this weekend.
As runaway leaders Coventry hope to widen their buffer over the chasing pack, we have a string of noteworthy showdowns from both ends of the table.
With November’s international break offically drawing to a close on Saturday, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Championship betting tips.
12:30 Coventry vs West Brom
Heading into November’s international break with what could prove to be a crucial 1-0 victory away at Stoke, Coventry have embarked on a record-breaking start to proceedings. With the mood in Frank Lampard’s camp at a red-hot high, the Sky Blues are riding a sensational wave of momentum. Marking their return from November’s international break this weekend holding a commanding five-point buffer at the top of the Championship standings, the former Everton boss has seen his high-flying squad gain a string of plaudits from across the country. Getting November underway with a thumping 3-1 win at home against Sheffield United, Coventry have won eight of their last nine Championship appearances – a purple patch that stems all the way back to a 0-0 stalemate against Leicester on September 20th. In fact, Lampard’s leaders have registered 34 points from their first 15 Championship showdowns and they will be confident of making another title statement here.
While West Brom might have entered November’s fortnight interval with a much-welcomed 2-1 win at home against Oxford, the Baggies have endured a worrying Championship rut this season. Marking their return on Saturday lunchtime scrapping it out in the bottom-half of the table, Ryan Mason’s inconsistent squad will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Getting November underway with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Charlton, the former Tottenham coach has seen his side win just one of their previous five Championship appearances. Pencilled in as a real underdog contender when they travel across the Midlands this weekend, West Brom have gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring issues away from the Hawthorns. Including a woeful 3-0 drumming against Millwall on October 4th, Mason’s men have lost all of their previous four consecutive Championship matchups on the road by an aggregate score of 7-1.

15:00 Birmingham City vs Norwich City
While Birmingham might have only made their Championship return this season, it is no secret that Chris Davies’ men have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine play-off charge this time around. Despite heading into November’s international break with a 2-1 loss away at Middlesbrough, the Blues know that they can move within touching distance of the top-six here. Getting November underway with back-to-back 4-0 romps against Millwall and Portsmouth respectively, Birmingham will be dreaming of a repeat performance here. Smelling the chance to get their play-off dreams back on track this weekend, Davies’ side will be excited to make a return to St. Andrew’s. In fact, the Blues have lost just one of their first seven showdowns in the Midlands against Championship opposition across all competitions. It should also be highlighted, Saturday’s hosts have notched 12 goals in just their last four matchups on home soil.
Although Philippe Clement might have only arrived at Carrow Road earlier in the week, the former Rangers boss will be more than aware that he has an almighty job on his hands in Norfolk. Breaking a string of unwanted records since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Norwich remarkably sit way down in 23rd-place and they are already four points adrift of Championship safety. Rightfully coming under a huge amount of scrutiny, Saturday’s guests have also put just one-point on the board from any of their last eight consecutive appearances. Likewise, Norwich have also failed to win any of their last 11 straight outings (eight defeats, three draws). Signing off October with a 2-1 loss away at Swansea, Clement should be bracing himself for a tricky debut in charge of the Canaries. Hit with a 1-0 loss when they last travelled to St. Andrew’s back in May 2024, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
