2025/26 Championship accumulator & predictions: Coventry to extend their lead at the top

• Middlesbrough and Ipswich expected to cancel each other out

• Coventry tipped to maintain their unbeaten run

• Birmingham to get the better of Hull at St. Andrew's

Looking ahead to the next round of matches, Coral shares its weekly Championship accumulator and predictions, with Coventry tipped to extend their lead at the top of the table.

The league is really starting to take shape now, with promotion contenders slowly coming to the fore, struggling sides feeling the pressure, and some surprise performances catching the eye.

GW10 is just around the corner, so we've put together this football acca to take you through our four standout Championship predictions - including Ipswich's Friday-night trip to Middlesbrough, and Sheffield United's clash with Watford.

With the international break now behind us, the Championship action resumes as Middlesbrough welcome Ipswich to Teesside on Friday night, with the hosts knowing a win would see them climb back to the top of the table - but we think Ipswich will stand firm and leave with a point.

Boro's form has cooled off in recent weeks after a formidable start, with one win in their last five, but three draws in that time shows they're still proving very tough to beat. Ipswich, on the other hand, are turning a corner after their difficult start to the campaign, and have won three of their last four Championship matches. This is a clash between two of the Championship favourites - and Coral is backing them to cancel each other out.

Speaking of Championship favourites, the front-runners for the title and current league leaders Coventry welcome Blackburn to the CBS Arena, with the hosts looking for their fifth consecutive clean sheet. Frank Lampard's side have also scored 12 goals in their last three games, so their defensive solidity certainly isn't coming at the expense of any attacking threat.

This all points towards a very difficult day for Blackburn, who are struggling towards the bottom of the table with one win in their last five. Both of their Championship wins this season have come away from home, but with Coventry unbeaten and showing no signs of slowing down, we can only see one winner here.

Birmingham City haven't quite lit up the league in the way many people expected at the start of their 2025/26 Championship campaign, but they do sit comfortably in mid-table with half an eye on the top six - and we're backing Chris Davies' side to take a big step in the right direction by beating Hull at St. Andrew's.

The Blues have only picked up one win in their last six, but are unbeaten at home. Birmingham and Hull sit level on points ahead of this one, and despite the Tigers beating Sheffield United last time out, Coral is predicting that Chris Davies' hosts will be too strong. Ollie McBurnie does offer a real threat for Hull, with the big striker scoring six goals already this season, but we're tipping Birmingham to win nonetheless.

Rounding off our 2025/26 Championship accumulator and predictions for gameweek 10, we're expecting Sheffield United and Watford to cancel each other out when the sides meet at Brammall Lane on Saturday afternoon.

Chris Wilder's Blades are still rooted to the foot of the table, with just three points from their opening nine games, but performances have been better since the manager's return. Watford are looking steady, unbeaten in three and starting to find their feet - but we're backing Sheffield United to pick up another point in their fight to escape the relegation battle. It won't be pretty, with real tension in the air at Brammall Lane, and we're predicting that Sheffield United vs Watford will end as a draw.

That rounds up our weekly 2025/26 Championship accumulator & predictions. You can bet on each of these matches individually, or group them together in a football acca, as seen below.
