EFL English Championship League 2024/2025

[blackened515]

Brentford vs Rotherham should be played tomorrow and it's last chance for Rotherham to escape relegation.
Brentford secure play-off spot and they want to continue with positive results but they are going to miss some players for this match and I think they will rest others.
They are favorites here and they will wait and score from counter attacks with best striker Toney, they also have tradition on their side.

Brentford which is behind Watford will be playing tonight against Rotherhan. It really going to be an  interesting match to watch, because the last match both of them played which was in Dec 2020, Brentford won the match. That means Rotherham would be allowed to be beaten home and away. And also the points gap between Brentford and Wafford is large, Brentford will be needing more winning to get more points.

Watford success back to primer league after delegation last season and need one year get back to the great league in the world English Primer League, need to give appreciation and applause for Watford team how their working hard can back to primer league just one year. Maybe they have take good composition player and keep staying on primer league.

Brentford got a 1-0 win but it was really a tough match for them. Rotherham tried their best but it wasn't enough to get even single point. And they are one step closer to the relegation now. They already had a terrible form before this match and they still couldn't change it. It is a 5-loss streak now.

This win was expected from brentford and high odd for it.Rotherham will probobly be relegated to league one after this loss.I think this was a must win for them to try and save themselfs

EFL Championship Round 45 is scheduled for tomorrow and after that we have only one more round and official part of EFL league will be finished and we only have play-offs left until big break.
We only need to see who will be relegated and fight is not finished yet, and I will try to use that making bets with more risk and less stake.

Sheffield Wed - Nottingham
Birmingham - Cardiff
Brentford - Watford
Huddersfield -Coventry
Luton - Middlesbrough
Millwall - Bristol City
Norwich - Reading
Preston - Barnsley
Rotherham - Blackburn
Stoke - QPR
Swansea - Derby
Wycombe - Bournemouth

Sheffield Wed vs Nottingham
This is last chance for Sheffield to try and survive in league if they win today and if Derby slips against one of play-off members Swansea, so they will be highly motivated.
They have tradition on their side and they often managed to beat Nottingham in past but this time it won be so easy and all pressure is n them.
Nottingham is safe, has nothing to play for, and both teams are missing players for this match, but Sheffield have better attackers who can score.
My Bet: Home win Draw No Bet

Brentford vs Watford
Watford celebrated and still celebrating promotion to Premier League so they will be more relaxed in this match and Brentford still have hopes in play-off and can get huge morale boost with positive result here.
Problem is that Brentford can't remember when they beat Watford but bookies still made them favorites here, and I expect both managers to rest some players especially home team.
I don't see Watford losing here but I would not be surprised to see a draw as final result, and both teams scoring goals.
My Bets: BTTS Both teams to score; Draw

Norwich vs Reading
This is banker for me this week in Championship as Norwich will want to celebrate last match at home stadium with a win and Reading is demoralized after ruining playoffs dream.
Not much explanation needed and I expect Norwich to score multiple times.
My Bets: Home win; Norwich (-1) Asian Handicap

Preston - Barnsley
Barnsley managed to do miracle with great recent results and top form along with Watford and Norwich and only two loses in last 15 matches.
Preston is mid table team that will try to win last home match this season but they only managed to win six times at home so far and they will struggle with Preston.
Anything is possible in this match but I can't see Barnsley losing when they need to stay motivated for playoffs.
My Bet: X2 double chance

Rotherham vs Blackburn
Rotherham is desperate for win here but they are in terrible form and anyone can defeat them now, but I am not sure how much motivated Blackburn will be.
Rotherham won only one time in ten last H2H matches against Blackburn but bookies still have them as slight favorites here.
Armstrong from Blackburn scored 3 goals last round and he will try to score few more to catch Toney and Pukki and be best goalscorer in league, currently he score 24, Pukki 25 and Toney from Brentford 29.
My Bets: Armstrong Adam to score; X2 double chance

Swansea vs Derby
I don't expect Swansea to do anything in play-offs but they can still dream of Premier League promotion and Derby is in freefall, they need points for survival and they will miss several players because of injuries.
Swansea have better team but Derby managed to win last two matches against them, Derby will be motivated and I bet they can win some points here.
I learned not to trust Swansea so much so I won't bet on them again.
My Bet: BTTS both teams to score

[notblox1]

Now it's official, Norwich is Champion of EFL Championship league for season 2020/2021 after amazing 4:1 win against reading, and this was my pick of the day like I correctly predicted.
Watford is still celebrating promotion so they lost easy from Brentford, and Derby lost against Swansea but both team scored, and there is till slim hopes for Rotherham, Sheffield, and Wycombe if they win in last round and Derby lost their match against.
Much will be decided in direct relegation battle Derby vs Sheffield Wednesday.

Norwich back to primer league and they need to prepare more player composition and not become only one season on primer league and back regelation to championship again, I think primer league is very hard for club never try to prepare good player composition, they need to buy potential and experience player how to be exist and keep stay on primer league.

[notblox1]

Luton vs Rotherham is very important match for Rotherham and they need to win here if they want to stay in Championship legaue.
Luton does not have any motivation to play but this is their last match at home in this season and players would still want to play solid to try and get better deal in transfer window.
Rotherham is actually not that bad as table suggest and they some decent strikers and I expect them to score in this match, but I am not sure if the can win.
Both team played only two days ago and they have one match four days after this one so both of them can be tired and draw is possible.
My Bet: Both teams to score;

Round 46 is last one for EFL Championship season 2020/21 and after this we have only play-offs deciding one more team to join elite Premier league with Norwich and Watford.

Barnsley - Norwich
Blackburn - Birmingham
Bournemouth - Stoke
Bristol City - Brentford
Cardiff - Rotherham
Coventry - Millwall
Derby - Sheffield Wed
Middlesbrough - Wycombe
Nottingham - Preston
QPR - Luton
Reading - Huddersfield
Watford - Swansea

Barnsley vs Norwich is my banker bet in EFL and I can't see Norwich losing their last match in Championship.
Players are missing for both teams but Barnsley is class below Norwich and I don't expect to see them in Premier League next season.
Pukki will be motivated to score for Norwich to try and win reward as bet goal scorer in league and maybe try to get new deal with some bigger club.
We don't see many goals between this teams in history and I expect to see 0:1 or 0:2
My bets:  Norwich Draw No Bet; double chance X2

Bristol City vs Brentford
Whatever happens in this match Brentford will keep 3rd place in league and they will continue in play-offs, so I expect them to rest and rotate some players.
If Ivan Toney plays in this match I will bet on him to score and secure his place as best goal scorer in league, but I will avoid betting on winner here because anything can happen and odds for away win are low.
My bet: Ivan Toney to score (check lineups before start)

Derby vs Sheffield Wed
This is fight for survival between two teams from bottom part of table and Derby lost six matches in a row.
Can Wayne Rooney motivate his players for miracle win against Sheffield who managed to win few points in previous rounds.
Tradition is more on home side, Sheffield didn't win at this stadium since 2006, and I do expect them to try and do something despite missing many players, just like away team.
Bookmakers made Derby slight favorites but anything can happen here.
My bet: Both teams to score

Cardiff vs Rotherham
Only win will save Rotherham in Championship and they must watch with one eye result for Derby vs Sheffield Wed match.
When this two teams played last time Cardiff managed to win but only with goal in 85' minute, and they don't have any reason to push for win today.
Cardiff is missing so many important players and I am willing to bet lower stakes double chance X2.
My bet: Double Chance X2

[notblox1]

That was amazing last round of Championship and all my betting predictions was all correct!
Derby managed to stay in Championship with coach Wayne Rooney after dramatic 3:3 draw with direct rival Sheffield Wed.
Rotherham was leading most of the time in their match but Cardiff score in 88' minute and sent Rotherham in lower league.
Norwich got a 2:2 draw against Barnsley and they rested all their best players including Pukki, and Toey scored for Brentford and confirmed his spot as best attacker in league, and I am expecting to see young 25 year attacker in Premier League soon.

Teams that go in lower league are Wycombe, Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday, and next week we should watch play-off semi-finals with Brentford vs Bournemouth and Swansea vs Barnsley.
Next season new EFL Championship club members are Hull City, Peterborough United and one more team decided from play-offs from Blackpool, Sunderland, Lincoln City and probably Portsmouth.

Your bet was excellent and it was correct, both teams did score as Wayne Rooney and Derby County escaped an embarrassing relegation shouts on the final day of the season in a 3-3 draw at home to Sheffield Wednesday. The draw means that Derby county stay up in the championship while Sheffield Wednesday are relegated to the league 1 (3rd division) of English football.

Now it is time for the playoff games! Semi finals will consist of two legs. For now, I see Brentford as closer to the final against Bournemouth. And it is the same for Swansea also against Barnsley. But everything can happen in the playoffs of course.

[notblox1]

Here are early odds and pairs from Sportsbet for first round of Championship play-offs that should be played on May 17th for Bournemouth vs Brentford and Barnsley vs Swansea City.
I would give clear advantage to team in best form Brentford that has the best attacker in league Ivan Toney, and to make sure I would play double chance X2 and Away win draw no bet.
For second match I don't like the odds and Swansea results are not easy to predict so I will wait for lineups and news, but Swansea lost only one time in ten matches against Barnsley.


https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

[notblox1]

Supporters started to get back on stadiums in this play-offs and Bournemouth managed to get narrow 1:0 win against Brentford in tough match with chances on both sides.
I expected to see draw or Brentford win but they still have chance in next round that will have 5000 of their London supporters.
Swansea vs Barnsley are still playing without goals and I don't expect to see many goals in this match if anyone is interested in live betting.

[buwaytress]

I included Swansea and Brentford in my picks yesterday but it was Bournemouth that went through, I couldn't imagine how heartbroken Brentford were last season missing out when they lost their last 2 games and fell in the playoffs and I really wanted them in but it's not over yet of course, slim margins from both first legs so we still get to see them fight again.

Bournemouth were cool during the time they were up, but I'd really like to see fresh fresh blood. Nice to see Ollie Watkins but I do feel bad seeing Brentford's stars getting picked off every time. Why do they fall apart late season I wonder grr.

[notblox1]

Second leg matches in EFL Championship are scheduled for tomorrow and we are going to see what two teams will go to final.

Brentford vs Bournemouth
In first leg Bournemouth won but it's different match now and it's time for Brentford to step up in front of their supporters.
They have much better team and best striker in league and golden boot winner Ivan Toney and I expect them to score more goals and qualify in final.
Players are motivated and they want to break their jinx of failing to qualify in play-offs for years.
Bournemouth will try to defend and strike from counterattacks and I think we may see over 2.5 goals in this match and both teams scoring.
My Bet: Home win, Home win draw no bet.

Swansea vs Barnsley
I didn't like hoe Swansea look at the end of regular season but they managed to outsmart and beat youngest squad in Championship Barnsley.
They have very good H2H record against them but anything can happen in second leg but I expect to see draw and I give small advantage to Swansea in front of their supporters.
Crystal Palace wants to hire Swansea boss Steve Cooper and I think he will try to qualify in this match at any cost.
My Bet: 1X Double Chance

Brentford must win the next game and for me are #1 to win this play offs even after a bad result in the first game.With fans will probobly  be much easier. Swansea is going to advance for sure as well.Im expecting Swansea vs Brentford final for the premier league

[buwaytress]

Man I totally forgot the 2nd playoffs started so early today, missed placing outrights on Brentford (the team I really really wish would go on to gain promotion). The live bet when they went down to that early goal would have been really special I think, and now that Bournemouth is a man down before HT, I'll say the odds on Brentford should really improve.

Only 2 shots on goal so far though so probably not a fun game to watch.

[buwaytress]

Well, I got my wish come true. Brentford passes the first stage of the playoffs, so we know at least for sure we aren't seeing all 3 relegated teams make it back into the Premier League. Now Brentford will wait to see if Swansea completes the Welsh revival or if they fight Barnsley for the right to go head to head with the best teams in Englad.

Who else hopes it's Brentford or Barnsley? Brentford have only spent 5 seasons in the top division (the old First division). It has been 81 years for them away.

Barnsley: only 1 season in the top, actually in the Prem League in 1996 (before I ever saw Prem League footie), but got relegated. It has been 15 years for them.

[notblox1]

Both of my picks for Championship were correct and we have the final play-off match like I expected between Brentford and Swansea.
Match will be played on May 29th at  Wembley Stadium in London and Brentford is favorite and better team to win in my opinion.
I expect odds to go down on home win so you better place your bets on time:
