Championship Predictions: Owls can signify night-time for Manning’s Norwich career

Midweek action in the Championship awaits us so I (Conor), Nick and Simon are back to deliver our score predictions. The weekend's efforts were a collective shambles but the less said about that the better.

Check out our latest Championship predictions for Gameweek 14 below.

Birmingham vs Millwall (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 2-1 @ 8/1

Birmingham City delivered their best display of the season as they beat Portsmouth 4-0 at St. Andrew's on Saturday. The Blues are back at home on Tuesday as they entertain Millwall, who had to settle for a draw at Oxford United last time out.

The Lions are yet to lose on the road but Birmingham look like they are beginning to click and they could be set to land an impressive victory here.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-1

Bristol City vs Blackburn (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 1-1 @ 12/5

After losing 5-1 at Stoke City at the weekend, Bristol City will hope to get back on track when they host Blackburn Rovers, who have just beaten Southampton and Leicester City in consecutive matches.

Much has been made about Rovers' current situation but they are finding a way to land some impressive results and they can put another point on the board in Bristol.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 2-0

Charlton vs West Brom (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 1-0 @ 6/1

Charlton Athletic were fortunate to come away from their home clash against Swansea City with a point on Saturday, and the Addicks will be hoping for a better display at The Valley on Tuesday when they face West Bromwich Albion.

The Baggies supporters are already beginning to turn on boss Ryan Mason with three defeats in their last five outings. Charlton has been a tough place for teams to visit this term and I can see the Albion slipping to another defeat.

Nick: 2-0

Simon: 2-1

Derby vs Hull (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 1-1 @ 9/4

Derby County will be gunning for a fourth consecutive victory in the league when they take on Hull City at Pride Park. The Rams are growing in confidence but they are up against another side in fine form, with the Tigers currently sat inside the top six.

This could be a tight affair so I am going for the stalemate.

Nick: 2-2

Simon: 2-1

Championship Odds

Ipswich vs Watford (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 2-1 @ 7/1

Ipswich Town turned up the heat as they defeated Queens Park Rangers in west London at the weekend and the Tractor Boys are now gunning for a third consecutive win in the Championship when they host Watford at Portman Road.

The Hornets arrive off the back of a statement 3-0 victory over Middlesbrough but they have struggled to put winning streaks together. I think on home turf, Ipswich should have enough to come through this test.

Nick: 3-1

Simon: 2-1

Leicester vs Middlesbrough (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 1-1 @ 11/2

Leicester City fans were showing their disappointment on Saturday as their side were beaten by Blackburn Rovers at the King Power. The Foxes have now lost three in a row in the second tier and they are not in good shape ahead of their home clash with Middlesbrough.

Boro have lost two of their last five outings in the league and the recent Watford defeat has them looking vulnerable. With both teams in bad form, I think a point would be considered a good result.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 0-1

Oxford United vs Stoke (Tue 19:45 GMT) - 1-1 @ 5/1

Oxford United fought hard to earn a respectable point at home against Millwall last time out and this leaves them in a decent position as they entertain Stoke City at the Kassam Stadium on Tuesday.

The Potters landed a thumping 5-1 victory at home to Bristol City at the weekend but I think the U's can make this a difficult away trip for them. There have already been three draws inside this ground in 2025/26 and I fancy a fourth to drop here.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 0-1

Coventry vs Sheff Utd (Tue 20:00 GMT) - 3-1 @ 11/1

So it turns out Coventry City are in fact beatable. The Sky Blues suffered their first league defeat of the campaign at Wrexham on Friday night and my colleague Simon is very much dreading the episode of Welcome To Wrexham that will follow that game.

Coventry are back on home turf on Tuesday as they take on Sheffield United, who are back on a losing streak after their defeat at home to Derby on Saturday. This looks like the perfect opportunity for the home side to bounce back, even if their defence isn't up to scratch again.

Nick: 3-2

Simon: 2-1

Preston vs Swansea (Wed 19:45 GMT) - 2-1 @ 17/2

After recently losing back-to-back matches, which also saw them lose their unbeaten home record this season, Preston North End have responded brilliantly with back-to-back victories in the Championship.

Up next for them is Swansea City at Deepdale, and the visitors picked up a decent point at Charlton at the weekend. I think this will be a tough place for the Swans to go, however, so I am backing the Lilywhites to make it three wins on the spin.

Nick: 1-0

Simon: 1-1

QPR vs Southampton (Wed 19:45 GMT) - 1-1 @ 11/2

Queens Park Rangers will want to put their 4-1 defeat against Ipswich behind them but they may have a free hit in front of them against manager-less Southampton. The Saints' form has been dismal so far this term and they are in a really bad run of form with three losses on the trot.

The visitors need to turn their fortunes around and quickly. They have players who should be tearing it up at this level so they should at the very least take a point here.

Nick: 1-2

Simon: 0-3

Sheff Wed vs Norwich (Wed 19:45 GMT) - 1-0 @ 10/1

How is Liam Manning still in the job at Norwich City? The Canaries have lost their last six matches, as well as all six of their home league encounters. They sit 23rd in the table, so this trip to 24th Sheffield Wednesday is massive for them.

Manning's job has to be on the line here and anything other than a win surely brings to an end his very brief reign. And unfortunately for him, I can't see anything other but a home win.

Nick: 2-1

Simon: 1-0

Portsmouth vs Wrexham (Wed 20:00 GMT) - 0-2 @ 14/1

Portsmouth are beginning to spiral. They're winless in four and have lost their last three outings in the second tier, conceding four at Birmingham last time out. They host a jubilant Wrexham side at Fratton Park on Wednesday, and the Red Dragons can certainly add to Pompey's woes.

Nick: 1-1

Simon: 1-2
