It is so fun when someone replies to your few months old post just to prove he was right with his voodoo predictions 

My Bets: Southampton (-1)  AH; Southampton (-1.5) AH
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/southampton-fc-v-sheffield-wednesday-658fef427c9c2400011874ce

Both bets won!
This was good weekend for my predictions, much better than other with leagues.

Big surprise for me that Leicester this time, but Coventry is no joke and red card changed situation a lot in second half.
Most of the other favorites won their matches, Ipswich is still holding second position, but Southampton is not far behind.
Rotherham is best candidate for relegation and they have one of the worst defense in league.
Things can change a lot in Championship, there are 46 rounds in regular part of the season and then we have play-off matches.

I agree with you and indeed Wayne Rooney is very good player and was star for Manchester United in his time, this reminds me where Manchester United can have good quality.
He is not great coach for Birmingham but some people still believe in this Manchester United legend, even Berbatov, who is Rooney teammate, still believes and is quite sure that he can be great coach.
But if I were football expert who could have dialogue with them then I would tell Rooney to join another team in the Championship League and lead them to move up to the main Premier League competition.
If Rooney can bring the team he coaches from the Championship League to move up to the Premier League then clearly his performance can be considered and said to be quite good.

Take a good look at the position they was before he was appointed manager and the position they're right now. Embarrassing, it was the right time to see Wayne Rooney leave them.

We can look at what really happened before and after Wayne Rooney appointment, but will it all be worth it?
Of course not so he still needs to prove in the future that he can be great coach, that what he should do.

Who will want such a coach right now?
Wayne Rooney should take a break, take sometime off this thing, have fun, he should go give Marcus Rashford some good levels of knowledge when attacking or he should spend time together with his young lads and kiddos. Take a good look at Zidane and Antonio Conte doing same thing.

It's pretty embarrassing seeing the position they was when he was appointed coach and the latter when sacked. Anyways, Godspeed in his next chapter, I don't go around wishing people down. He could level up his game, yes he can.

Hehehehe... Say whatever you want. Wayne Rooney remains tactically inept. Just not that man for Birmingham City.

Rooney should find something else and do if the coaching job is not working for him. He was a good player during his playing days there is no doubt about that. His records as a coach is not looking good. Instead of going ahead to spoil his CV more and more he can consider working as a second coach under one of the famous coaches around, so he could learn more about tactics. His performance at Birmingham was nothing to write home about.

Championship is back tomorrow with Round 28 and match Sunderland vs Hull City.
This is very important match for both teams as they can get into play-off positions for Premier League.
I think we are going to see goals in this match and Stadium of Light is not easy place to take points.
Both teams are missing some players tomorrow but Hull is hit harder because of AFCON competition with Traore and Seri.
Sunderland is undefeated in last 12 matches against Hull in all competitions, and I dont think they will lose tomorrow.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score; Sunderland (0) AH 1st half.

Swansea City vs Southampton
Southampton have been on a good streak of late, dropping very few points in the league and continuing their successful fight for the top spot. Adam Armstrong and Che Adams have been carrying the team in terms of scoring. I think Southampton's squad is above the league and with this top squad I think they are the biggest candidate for second place. Swansea City, on the other hand, seem to have recovered a bit more in recent games but I don't think they have a realistic target for the play-offs. Southampton need to play every game like a final if they want to be in the Premier League next season. For this reason, I see Southampton as the side that is close to winning.

Tough first half,  My Prediction was for both sides to draw at the end of the game. So far, they have seen a beautiful first half with Sunderland doing more of the attacking than Hull City Though Hull City be also making good moves not good enough though. The way the game be going, Hull City could get red carded for they're too aggressive and have seen too much yellow cards in this game, if Sunderland operates well then they can beat them in midfied and control the entire game to score.

My Prediction still stands though I doubt if a game would be seen in this game. It's Prolly my first time watching the younger brother of Jude Bellingham. Not too outstanding maybe in this game but haven't lost possession as I watch him play tonight.

Strange enough though the minute is 75 now and the result is 0-0,I thought that Sunderland would not have that much of a difficulty to win this game.It is true that Hull City have been doing quite some dangerous tackles and fighting but I don't think they will get a red card and even if they get a red card for the 15 minutes of play remaining I doubt it will impact their game a lot at the point so that they can lose the game.I think in that case if they get a red card the manager will interfere with the line up and bring in more defenders trying to defend the situation rather than having a go at goal.

This league though now it has Leicester,Leeds and Southampton who were relegated from Premier League so I believe the level of this season in here is a bit better,it is also shown by the points of the teams,many fighting for a promotion spot.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score; Sunderland (0) AH 1st half.

Bet lost
Sunderland dominated the whole match and had many chances but they didnt score, so late punishment came in second half.

For tomorrow Swansea vs Southampton match should be away win but I dont like low odds, and saints are missing to many players so I am skipping this one.
I never liked prediction matches with Swansea because they are very unpredictable team.
Leeds is playing at home with Preston in Sunday but odds are so low that I wont touch this game, maybe over 2.5 goals is better option.

Southampton had the advantage thanks to goal at the start of the first half in the 6th minute created by Che Adams and as the match started, Southampton really dominated the game with pretty good attack line and really well maintained defense.
It will be difficult for Swansea to match the performance of Southampton, who are currently performing quite well.
Southampton are the absolute favorites in this match so it just luck for Swansea to pull off surprise, but I not sure that will happen.

Southampton has quite big difference from Leicester City, namely 7 points and when in the match against Swansea they can actually get full points, the point difference will be narrowed, allowing Southampton to occupy the top position and be able to return to promotion to the Premier League.

Southampton and Leicester City will definitely always try to fight for the first position they are fighting for, there are still quite lot of matches remaining and there are still many opportunities for Southampton to reach the top position.

Southampton is doing impressive job with right now they are having second spot and their winning streak is also going long with this form we can expect them a challenge for the top spot holder Leicester City which is currently leading the league table by 65 points and having difference of the 7 points from the Southampton and their next game is also interesting against Ipswich which is having third spot even Leicester City can overthrow to Ipswich for staying at the top spot and fair chance for automatic qualification but still things are pretty interesting.

Southampton is having 20 matches without any lost and their current performance clearly showing they will be also trying their best for the automatic promotion even Ipswich is also at same level, but things can any change and near the end of this season we will have tough games which are surely going to have big impact near the end with no other team is going to touch these top three as their quality and consistency is amazing.

[Slow death]

today's game was a leeds game against preston. In this game Leeds conceded the first goal in the 2nd minute, honestly they conceded a goal so early that it seemed like they were going to concede more goals, but they managed to score the equalizer 4 minutes after conceding a goal. which was good, it showed their quick recovery. but what seemed to be a game that promised to have many goals due to the fact that 2 goals were scored in less than 10 minutes after the game started, as time passed it showed that the game would not have many goals. Both teams had many good opportunities to score more goals, but it seemed that the attackers of both teams were unable to find the right place to score. for example, the leeds player georginio had a clear opportunity for them to score but the guy simply wasted it

until the penalty came in favor of Leeds and with that Leeds managed to score a goal. but I think that if there hadn't been that penalty, this game would have ended in a draw. It was a game in which anyone who bet on a team to win must have lost their bet. I'm not placing bets on this competition, but I'm starting to think about including the games from this competition in my parlay, at least I see Leicester doing well even though in the last game they lost. I believe that Leicester will be able to return to the Premier League. they were very unlucky to be relegated from the premier league. I hope that when they return to the premier league, they are better prepared so that they don't get relegated. Often when a team is demoted, even when it returns to the first league it faces greater difficulty in remaining in the league.

Southampton has the opportunity to be promoted and can play in the Premier League if there is stability and can consistently continue to play better to always be able to win, Leicester City will definitely experience some pressure which might make them drop to the bottom.
I want to look back at the match between these two top teams and I want to see Southampton beat Leicester City and be at the top of the standings until the end of the season so that they will have the Championship trophy.
Leicester City is indeed strong team in the Championship League but they don't develop at all when playing in the Premier League and that what they always get, namely being relegated and promoted again and relegated again, this is stagnant development.

From what Southampton have shown from the start, they have proven that they are worthy enough to compete again in the Premier League and I believe in their achievements this season as champions of the Championship League.

One match for Championship Round 29 is starting tomorrow, Leeds vs Norwich.
I know Leeds is favorite to win at home but Norwich had goods run and they didnt lost in last five matches.
This match is important for both teams if they want to go back in Premie League, and in recent h2h they played close matches.
I think both teams will score tomorrow and I dont think Norwich can lose with more than one goal, so I think asian handicap would be interesting bet.
Leeds is currently best home team and they didnt lose a single match at Elland Road.

My Bet: Both Teams To Score; over 2.5 goals

Three matches are played in Championship this Tuesday:

Coventry vs Bristol City
Leicester vs Swansea
Sheffield W vs Watford

Leicester is clear favorite to win but I never liked betting against Swansea and odds on home team win is very small.
They have good advantage in first place and another win would give them more edge over Ipswich.
I think Swansea can score here so only option I would consider is both teams to score.

I really like odds on Watford to win against Sheffield, but just to make it sure I will take X2 double chance or asian handicap.
Watford is much better in h2h matches, they are in better form and they still have chances for play-off position and Premier League.
Straight away win is risky and it pays great, but I am happy with getting back my stake if match ends a draw.

My Bets: Watford (0) asian handicap; X2 double chance.

Championship Round 30 is starting tomorrow with one match Bristol City vs Leeds.
This is a great chance for Leeds to get back in second place for direct promotion to Premier league if they win against Bristol.
Competition is really good between them Ipswich and Southampton, as Leicester created good distance in first place.
Both teams are missing few players, but Leeds has a great h2h record against Bristol and they should continue this trend tomorrow.
Odds are not bad for Leeds to win and I am taking it.

My Bet: Leeds win.

My Bet: Leeds win.

Bet won!

Big changes in Championship table after today matches!
I didnt have time to post my latest predictions but I placed my bet on Leicester and they smashed Stoke with five goals.
Big thing for Southampton after today win against Rotherham, as they are now in second position that can get them back directly in Premier League!
Ipswich is slowly falling down after losing against Preston, and Leeds in now in third place.
Race for second place is very interesting, but one more team will have chance in play-offs.

Last match for Sunday is Middlesbrough vs Sunderland.
Home team is favorite, but both teams are missing many players, and any result can happen, so I have no stake in this match.

Championship Round 31 is starting tomorrow with match Sheffield W vs Birmingham.
Both teams are not in a good form but Sheffield has the worst attack in league with only 22 scored goals in 30 matches, and defense is not much better.
Coach change for Birmingham didnt bring much needed positive change, but they still have few players who can score goals.
This is going to he hard one, but I have to give slight advantage to away team and they won last H2H match at home.

My Bet: Birmingham (0) AH,  Double chance X2

Watford vs Leicester
This match should be very interesting and I am surprised to see such high odds on away win.
Watford is in mid table and they need to start winning matches if they want to have some chance of going back to Premier League, but they didnt win in last five matches in all competitions.
Leicester is safe in first place but there a ten more rounds in this season and they need to stay sharp and win matches like this.
H2H matches are on away side and I think this will continue tomorrow.

My Bet: Leicester win

Missed a brilliant round of games, all the top runners for promotion getting wins but my, my, Saints had to leave it late, didn't they? I also realised I've not followed this league for so long didn't notice poor Ipswich now just dropping off the pace -- post Christmas?

Does look like all three relegated members of Prem League are desperate to make it back. Leeds will be devastated if things stay this way and they have to do the extra playoff miles!

[Promocodeudo]

Leicester city has being performing very well and with the look of things I think that the will get promotion back to the English premiership next season, though their yesterday encounter with Watford was not easy one for them but the many to win the match and bag the 3points, when Leicester city was in epl they were one of the resilient team, when they got demoted to the championship I know that they will learn their lesson and return back, I think more work is needed in the team, their should be coordination and understanding between the players, I noticed that they concede more goals now than before, this should be curtailed.
