Predictions for upcoming Championship matches highlight varied game dynamics. Millwall vs Wrexham is expected to be low-scoring, while West Brom vs Charlton should deliver high goal action. Back QPR and Middlesbrough for likely wins, with odds at 1.80 and 2.00 respectively. West Brom's match is forecast to see over 2.5 goals (1.95 odds), promising a goal fest for fans. The key recommendation: consider QPR and Middlesbrough for outright wins and expect fireworks in the West Brom game.

English Championship Predictions - 2 September 2026, Matchday 4


Millwall vs Wrexham


After the disappointment of missing out on promotion to the Premier League last season Wrexham have had a horror start to the new campaign, with just one point from their first three matches and just three goals in their last five matches including pre-season.

Millwall had four wins on the bounce (two in the League Cup, two in the Championship) scoring seven goals to one before losing their last match away to Southampton in the Championship 5-1. With Wrexham scoring just three goals in five matches and Millwall conceding just six goals and scoring eight in the last five matches, this bears the hallmarks of a low-scoring match.

QPR vs Cardiff


QPR have picked up two wins and a draw from their first three matches and are looking in good form, with away wins to Portsmouth (3-1) and Blackburn (2-1).

Cardiff haven’t won in their last four matches, with three draws and a 2-1 home defeat to Norwich in their last four matches. With QPR having home ground advantage this should be three points in the bank for the Rangers. 

West Brom vs Charlton


Both sides lost in the last round of the League Cup to Premier League opposition, but West Brom have lost their last two games while Charlton have four wins in five, so I’m edging towards a Charlton win which would carry a big payout at odds of 4.40. 

With only two clean sheets between the sides in their last five meetings and a total of 12 goals, this should be a match with a good spread of goals. West Brom have 12 goals in their last five matches, with no clean sheets for or against and conceding nine goals. Charlton kept a clean sheet in their last match but conceded eight times in five matches, scoring nine goals.

Burnley vs Middlesbrough


Burnley are on a horror run, losing their last two matches in the Championship after drawing their opener at home to West Ham. They have scored just twice in their last three matches (all defeats) but they have conceded nine times in four matches.

Boro are riding high with four wins from their last five matches, scoring 10 goals to five. Burnley have only one win in their last five home matches, with that result coming in the League Cup after a penalty shootout against League One side Notts County, so Boro fans should be fairly confident of picking up an away win. 

Verdict

Goals to be scarce between Millwall and Wrexham, while fans should be in for a goal fest between West Brom and Charlton. QPR and Middlesbrough are backed for the wins.
