EFL English Championship League 2023/2024

[casperBGD]

yeah, Championship is back tomorrow, and from this first three rounds, one can say that old rule that 2 relegated teams will fight for promotion and third to avoid another relegation seems to be unveiling here
Southampton and Leicester are having good start, and Leeds is holding back, without a win so far

inline with that, Ipswich is playing against Leeds, odds are solid on a home win @2.25, and seems that it is worth betting

Hull - Bristol City 1:1, both teams scored like I expected but I was a chicken and I didnt place any bet
Tufan from Hull is currently best goal scorer in league with 4 goals, but few players are right behind him with 3 goals.

inline with that, Ipswich is playing against Leeds, odds are solid on a home win @2.25, and seems that it is worth betting

I am not sure what to think about Leeds team this season and they are missing Bamford and few other injured players, but I wont give them big chances against Ipswich in great form.

Huddersfield - Norwich
This is my main bet for this Championship round, and I think Norwich has much better chances to win points tomorrow.
Huddersfield is not the same team from last season and they started with only one point from three matches.
Norwich will have tough competition for top spots but they are always in competition for Premier league spots.
H2H record is totally in Norwich side and odds om them is amazing, but for safer bet asian handicap is not bad.
My Bets: Norwich (0) AH, Norwich win.

Rotherham - Leicester
Leicester win is clear choice for me here and odds are decent, and I think they can win the first half or with handicap
Rotherham is desperate for points and they need to attack but this will create a lot of space for Iheanacho who still didnt score a goal this season.
My Bets: Leicester win; Leicester (-1) AH

Nice betslip, notblox1! I neglected to look at picks from Championship today, but I would have saved myself some grief as I'd counted on Boro resuming their season with three points. Relief for Leeds with their first win (it had to be a goalfest, didn't it?) I see, but Leicester and Southampton probably feeling the happiest?

Hey buwaytress, glads to see you here!
Dont forget to check this topic every week, so far we have very good prediction rate and correctly predicted all today matches
Leicester won against Rotherham, and Norwich easily demolished Huddersfield, with amazing prematch odds.
Southampton was better than QPR and Armstrong  is now one of the best goal scorers in Championship with 4 goals.

One more match left for tomorrow is Watford vs Blackburn.
This is tricky one to predict correct outcome but I think we are going to see both teams scoring and lot of goals.
Watford has only one win this season and they need to push really hard to win in Vicarage Road with support of their fans.
My Bets: Both Teams To Score, Over 2.5 goals

^ My time management for the past few months is an issue that might not go away for a while but I definitely need to give some love to the Championship and check back here before I place bets for future. I think I did all right last season and we have many more teams to follow now.
 Leeds under Bielsa was why I followed for a long time but I think there's plenty to shout for with the Foxes and Saints also plying their trade here now.

GL with Watford! I see it's still scoreless at 52'. I'm all-in on Liverpool back in the EPL!

You are not the only one who has issues with time management, I have some internet issues these days so I cant make posts whenever I want.
Next round of Championship is starting this Saturday and I think I will post some predictions in Friday.
It's getting interesting and things are heating up, Leicester is holding first place with perfect score, but several teams are following them including
Southampton.

I'm all-in on Liverpool back in the EPL!

You mean Southampton?
Liverpool is already in EPL 

[notblox1]

EFL Championship Round 5 is starting tomorrow and all matches are played in Saturday.

Sunderland vs Southampton
Southampton is playing important match against Sunderland but it is not going to be easy to win in Stadium of Light.
Armstrong is currently best goal scorer in Championship and he has good chance to continue scoring goals against Sunderland.
Odd on away win is amazing but I wont exclude draw as final result and I think X2 is good safer option.
My Bets: X2 double chance.

Rotherham vs Norwich
This is my main bet in this round, and Norwich win is reasonable outcome for me.
H2H matches are on Norwich side and they have much better team in all positions, and they have great attacking duo Sargent and Rowe.
They are sure to score against worst defense in league and I am expecting minimum 2 or 3 goals and win in first half.
My Bets: Norwich win; Norwich (-1) AH; Norwich win 1st half.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/rotherham-united-v-norwich-city-64e9ee1f938a0600019fab66

Leicester vs Hull
This is clear home win for me but Hull performed good so far and they have Tufan ready to score.
I think we can see both team scoring and lots of goals cored, but safest betting option for me is home win.
Leicester attackers Iheanacho and Vardy didnt start working with full power and when that happens we can see results like 4:0 or 5:0.
My Bets: Leicester  win
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/leicester-city-v-hull-city-64e9ee20e9b96800018b22b7

I went for Sunderland in my prediction. Not because I think Saints are shit, I just think they're bound to lose away and the Black Cats are formidable at home. I know this is easier to say now they got the lead, but it's a nice early opener for Saturday football.

Here's my rare all-favourites acca (Boro come on):

[karabiber]

W. Bromwich - Huddersfield
West Bromwich have managed to collect seven points in four league games with a modest squad. After last year's inconsistent performance, this year at least they have become a team with more reasonable results. As for Huddersfield Town, i think the danger bells are ringing in the first weeks of the season. Their performances have been poor, their defense has been non existent and they've been a little bit hampered by a difficult fixture. I see West Brom ahead in this match they are close to three points.

Very good call going on Sunderland!
I didnt expect they would win so easy with five goals, but all other results today in Championship are totally crazy.
Both Leicester and Norwich lost their matches, and Preston has surprisingly taken over the first place in table.
One of the biggest disappointment for me so far is Middlesbrough last place in tbale with only one point from five matches.

[notblox1]

Championship Round 6 is starting this weekend and two matches are scheduled for tomorrow, and one of them is big match between two ex Premier League clubs.
There are plenty of interesting games this round, and I hope little international break helped some teams and players.
Preston is holding the first place and they are one of two teams without lost match this season, second club is Birmingham.

Southampton- Leicester
Home team and fans are waiting for hard match at St. Mary Stadium, and Southampton needs to bounce back after shameful 5:0 defeat from Sunderland.
Last season both of this teams played in Premier League and Southampton won both matches, but it was totally different teams back them.
Southampton currently has worst defense in league with 12 conceded goals and Leicester has the power to score goals, so I am expecting both teams to score tomorrow.
Armstrong from Southampton is currently one of the best goals scorers in league and his teams needs him to perform against Leicester.
I am giving slight advantage to Leicester, but anything can happen in this match so safest option is to be on goals.
 
My Bet: Both Teams To Score
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/southampton-fc-v-leicester-city-64f353ea12740800015462e6

Hull- Coventry
Hull started this season very well, they lost only one match so far, and last season they had better results in H2H matches.
I like the odds on home him but I am taking safer option of double chance, with decent odds.
For anyone who want to risk more you can try asian handicap or straight home win.

My Bet: 1X double chance; Hull (0) AH.

Southampton- Leicester
My Bet: Both Teams To Score

Hull- Coventry
My Bet: 1X double chance; Hull (0) AH.

Both Bets won!

I am sad to see Southampton losing with so many goals against Leicester, but good thing that my bet won and both teams score.
There is no time for crying, new match against Ipswich is waiting Southampton in Tuesday.
Hull saved the day few minutes before end with Connolly scoring a goal.
They had more chances and they deserved to score more than once, but they remain in 5th place in table with one point.

More interesting matches coming tomorrow and they are not easy to predict.
Norwich should win against Stoke but I am not sure what happened with them last round so I am waiting to see results this week.
Preston is probably going to win against Plymouth but their best striker Will Keane is injured so I am not going to risk it.

Sheffield Wednesday - Ipswich
Ipswich is in great form, they started this season with four wins and only one defeat, and they have good chances to continue with another win.
Sheffield is on the bottom just above Middlesbrough, and they scored only four goals this season.
I am backing Ipswich to win while they are hot.

My Bet: Ipswich win.

Good luck everyone!

Someone said something about Leicester, that if they don't win the championship and get back to the EPL that it will be a shame, and I was like... Are you serious about a team that nobody knows when they're in form or not? Today they'll win the next 3 fixtures they'll lose.
But at some point I decided to watch this team play and I noticed they have changed completely, at least to me. I never saw them (Leicester) play with so much speed especially today, against a team that traveled with them to the championship.
Southampton played like they don't have hope of coming back from relegation was expecting that fixture to end in a draw because we're talking about two teams who knows themselves very well. But it wasn't what I was expecting to see after the away team started dropping goals making clean passes and was just shocked at what I saw.
Kudos to Leicester and I hope they return to the EPL.

Judging by Leicester City's performance in the EFL Championship since the start of the season, I'll be very surprised not to see them win the championship and be promoted back to the English Premier League next season. A club that's picked up 15 points from a possible 18 points by winning 5 games out of the the first 6 league games of the season has shown intense hunger to return to the English Premier League and that I think they're gonna achieve by the end of the season.
Their opponents in today's game Southampton has not been impressive like a team that was just relegated to the championship last season and has the hunger to make it back to the top flight. Their performance today at home against Leicester City was poor and I'll be surprised to see them in the English Premier League next season if they continue with such performance.

[buwaytress]

Looks like notblox1 is on a mini-run of success? I've been saving myself money staying away, not sure why I'm stubborn for Boro but they are not doing well at all -- maybe good timing if I enter later in the season huh?

PNE top of the table, whaaat? Remember me and them last season? Oh and Warnock out. That was shortlived...

@Docnaster you don't see any of my messages? =)

Leicester City left one points from Preston on EFL English Championship League season 2023/2024 and looks are promising with return back or promotion to Premier League next season. Southampton is not difficult opponent team for Leicester City and success won 1-4, talking about Leicester City chance back to Premier League are large opening, but depend with consistency performance will continue until second half season because EFL English Championship League have 46 matches and Leicester City need consistency on the top level games plays until end season, difference with Premier League with 38 matches only in one season and not difficult for team how to manage their player not get injury.

Very good run for me and I hope this continues in BSFL last round for both of us, I want to play against you next season, and we can force cro2 team to add more Championship questions

Easy win for Leeds today against Millwall and Round 6 is now complete.
Preston remains in first place with only one draw, maybe thanks to Keane, and they have one of the best defense in league that conceded only four goals in six games so far.
Leicester  and Ipswich are just behind them with one point less, but Norwich in 4th place has the best attack with 15 scored goals in six matches.
Hardie from Plymouth is best goal scorer with five goals, but Armstrong, Keane and few other players are just behind him with 4 scored goals.

I am reminding everyone that next Round 7 in staring in Tuesday so expect to see predictions probably posted in Monday or Tuesday.
Interesting matches are ahead of us.

[notblox1]

EFL Championship Round 7 is starting tomorrow with six matches and another six matches are played day after that.
This will be a big test for Southampton against Ipswich who is in very good form, and anything can happen in this match.
I expect both teams to score and Ipswich to try and fight for first place in table.
Preston needs to do the same thing against Birmingham and all pressure will than be on Leicester.
Best Preston goal scorer Keane is injured for this match so Birmingham is not without chances and they have a decent team this season.

Southampton - Ipswich
Preston - Birmingham
Bristol City - Plymouth
Queens Park Rangers - Swansea
Cardiff - Coventry
Sheffield Wednesday - Middlesbrough

Preston North End won again. They got 6 wins in 7 matches. Even though they fell behind in the Birmingham match, they didn't get stuck and managed to turn the match around. Their performances this season are truly astonishing. I didn't expect them to start this well. I wonder if they can keep this up until the end of the season and get into the Premier League.

Preston is on amazing good run so I am taking them in next rounds until they stop winning, and I am thinking of doing the same thing for Ipswich.

Six more matches scheduled for today and I am really interested to see how will Norwich play against Leicester.
Both teams have big ambitions in this season and they have promotion in Premier League as a main target.
I would give small advantage to Leicester but I expect to see goals in this match and both teams scoring, this is the safest bet in my opinion.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score
