EFL English Championship League 2023/2024

[Juggy777]

We had almost perfect predictions yesterday, Swansea won in away match against Barnsley and they are now on 9th place with four points below play-off zone.
Blackburn had dominant performance against Peterborough and score four goals, Brereton did it again with two goals and they one point below play-off zone.
Bournemouth slipped against with draw kings Millwall, but so did Fulham against Derby, and I got my stake returned.

Round 20 is starting tomorrow with twelve new matches and West Brom vs Nottingham is only match scheduled for Friday.
Odds are suggesting home win but I think that draw is possible, Nottingham lost only one in last twelve matches and West Brom is not in very good form recently.

West Brom - Nottingham
Preston - Fulham
Birmingham - Blackpool
Bournemouth - Coventry
Huddersfield - Middlesbrough
Hull - Millwall
Luton - Cardiff
Peterborough - Barnsley
Stoke - Blackburn
Swansea - Reading
Sheffield Utd - Bristol City
Derby - QPR

@notblox1 in your opinion is this league easier to predict in comparison to premier league, or you find both equally difficult and challenging to predict?. Also I feel that the home side won’t win because they’re going to be without their captain, and they have injured player’s too hence this a good opportunity for Nottingham to win this fixture.

Easier to predict is the league you are following more and that is not the same for everyone, but I think that odds are often time better in Championship than in Premier league.
I said that I expected a draw in West Brom vs Nottingham match, and exactly that happened with 0:0 final result.

Let's move to predictions for matches played tomorrow, and I have few nice bets.
Bournemouth is looking shaky now, drawing in last match and losing against Derby before that.
Coventry is not easy team to beat, so maybe it's better to skip this match for betting because surprises are possible.

Preston vs Fulham
Fulham is team currently in best form in Championship and they are playing first match in early Saturday against Preston, with win here they will keep distance from Bournemouth and put all pressure on them.
Preston is not easy team to beat especially at home, but they are still class bellow Fulham and I am only watching if attacker Mitrovic will be fit to play tomorrow.
Important thing is that next round on December 3 is played big match at home against second placed Bournemouth, so they must get 3 points this weekend.
Previous H2H matches are showing big Fulham advantage, and Preston only managed to win one time from last eight matches with Fulham.
Both teams will miss few players, so better watch lineups before making any bet.
My bet: Fulham win; exact score 1:2

Swansea vs Reading
In different time this would be match of two top table teams, but Reading is in big problems, they have deducted six points and many injured missing players.
Swansea is usually unpredictable team but they are in good form now, they have full squad and a chance to near play-off zone with win here.
They didn't lose a single match with Reading in last ten H2H matches and I believe they can win again, but not scoring many goals.
My bet:  Swansea win

Stoke vs Blackburn
Both teams are on top and in good form, but Stoke have many injured players for this match so I don't understand bookies odds but I will gladly take them.
Blackburn have one of the top goal scorers Ben Brereton in great form and I expect him to score again in this match.
They score a lot but they get many goals in their net, so I think both team will score in this match.
My bet: Double chance X2

[notblox1]

Bournemouth did slip again like I suspected and they got only draw at home with very good Coventry in interesting match with four goals.
What is good in this situation is that Fulham also got only 1:1 draw with Preston, so it's only one point more than Bournemouth and they are playing next week with each other.

I said that Swansea is unpredictable but losing against Reading with so many missing players was unexpected to me, but at least my Blackburn away win pick was spot on.
Two more matches left for sunday, but they are not easy to predict.
Odds for Sheffield win is unrealistic and low and maybe I will try X2 double chance with lower stakes.
Derby is enigma for me and they lost only one match at home, so anything can happen with QPR, I am missing this one.

[notblox1]

Round 20 had late finish today and QPR had last minute away victory against Derby, and they ae now on high 3rd place in league, below Fulham and Bournemouth.
It was interesting match and our Sportsbet competition winners got decided in this last match.
Next round starts this weekend and we have special competition so don't forget to follow this topic.

[Velvet78]

QPR's rise in the standings has drawn my attention a great deal considering the last weeks. The teams at the top (Fulham and Bournemouth) have been getting unsatisfying results for some time. And QPR benefited from this very good so far. QPR won 4 of their last 5 games and didn't lose the remaining one too. As we know, the first two teams in the league table promote to the Premier League directly. And QPR decreased the point gap with the second team Bournemouth to 7 and with the leader to 8 points. We will see if they will be able to keep this up.

[notblox1]

Big matches in EFL Championship league this weekend with top two teams playing for top stop in the league in match Fulham vs Bournemouth.
Both teams have best defense in league with only 16 goals in their net, but Fulham have much better attack with Mitrovic in charge as best goal scorer in league.
I don't like low odds on Fulham win and H2H matches are showing that Bournemouth is better, but they have many missing players so I expect to see draw and both team scoring.

One more interesting match is Coventry vs West Brom that can decide if one of them is good enough to get directly or with play-offs in Premier league.

Fulham - Bournemouth
Coventry - West Brom
Barnsley - Huddersfield
Blackburn - Preston
Blackpool - Luton
Bristol City - Derby
Cardiff - Sheffield Utd
Middlesbrough - Swansea
Millwall - Birmingham
Nottingham - Peterborough
Reading - Hull
QPR - Stoke

@notblox1 I expect both the teams Fulham and Bournemouth to take a cautious approach in the first half, and then they’ll try and attack for that winning goal. Also the chances for draw are high, but I yet feel that the game could end up 1 - 0, however like you said it’s difficult to say who the winning side will be.

[notblox1]

Bournemouth was leading almost all second half but Fulham managed to equalize in last few minutes and get one point that is keeping them in first place in table.
To be fair, Fulham had more more shots on goal and they totally deserved a draw, but fight for title and Premier League is just getting started.
West Brom was better than Coventry and they are on top of play-off zone just above Blackbun, QPR and Stoke.
Next round is scheduled for this weekend so get ready for new previews, tips and predictions.

@notnlox1 it was a decent match if you ask me as a viewer, and it showed how badly the teams wanted to win it and secure their position in the table. Lastly now it’s all a matter of how mentally strong the player’s are, because both sides cannot afford to drop any points, but which team would you pick after seeing this match to secure the top spot?.

[Cafex]

There is a fierce competition between Fulham and Bournemouth for the first place in the standings now. But they both have a poor form in the recent times. Fulham got draws in their last three games. And Bournemouth got three draws and one loss in their last four games. The next round for them is like this:

Luton - Fulham
Bournemouth - Blackburn

I assume that both of them will obtain a victory finally after weeks. Bournemouth may struggle more than Fulham but I still believe in them.

[notblox1]

EFL Championship round 22 is starting tomorrow with twelve matches and some of them are very interesting.
Bournemouth could take over first position if they win against Blackburn, but it's not going to be easy and Fulham would need to draw or lose against Luton.

Huddersfield - Coventry
Birmingham - Cardiff
Bournemouth - Blackburn
Derby - Blackpool
Hull - Bristol City
Luton - Fulham
Peterborough - Millwall
Preston - Barnsley
Stoke - Middlesbrough
Swansea - Nottingham
West Brom - Reading
Sheffield Utd - QPR

My picks for this weekend:
1. Bournemouth vs Blackburn - Both team to score.
2. West Brom vs Reading - Home win.
3. Luton vs Fulham - Fulham win 1st half; Fulham win; Mitrovic to score.

Most matches for this round of Championship are finished and we had some surprising results and changes in table.
Bournemouth lost from Blackburn and both teams didn't score like I predicted, but my other prediction was better for West Brom who won against Reading.
Fulham was leading in 1st half and Mitrovic did score like I predicted, but they didn't hold the lead until the end of match and final result was 1:1 draw.
Despite this draw Fulham is now two points in front of Bournemouth and Westo Brom is now back on third place with oonly three points less than Bournemouth, making race for title and Premier League promotion very interesting.

One more match is left for Monday and that is Sheffield Utd vs QPR to complete this round.
We have interesting competition in our Sportsbet prediction competition with casperBGD and Danydee leading, but ILuckyGuyI is just a point below them, and they all have different predictions for last EFL match.

[notblox1]

Last match of this round in Championship Sheffield Utd vs QPR was postponed because of some illness cases of some QPR players that had to go in isolation.
It is unknown when the match will be played again but it's possible during some break for international matches.
Quick reminder that Fulham is first place on the table with 45 points, Bournemouth is second with 43 points, West Brom is third with 40 points and Blackburn is 4th with 39 points.
Very interesting fight for top sports and direct promotion in Premier League, and we move on to Round 23 that should start this Friday.

Fulham and Bournemouth have done a great job so far. Fulham are still the leader and Bournemouth are following them two points behind. However, some interesting things have been happening for some weeks. Fulham couldn't have gotten any victory for four weeks and it is five weeks for Bournemouth. This helped the other teams to get close to them a lot. And we are nearly halfway through the season. The competition level can go higher in time as it seems.

[notblox1]

Championship Round 23 is starting this Friday and fight for Premier league promotion is getting more interesting.
All top teams have tricky matches, West Brom and Bournemouth both play away matches, Fulham and Blackburn play at home with chance for 3 new points.
On paper Fulham have easiest job but Sheffield is in great form and not easy to beat.

Barnsley - West Brom
Cardiff - Derby
Middlesbrough - Bournemouth
Blackburn - Birmingham
Blackpool - Peterborough
Bristol City - Huddersfield
Coventry - Stoke
Nottingham - Hull
Fulham - Sheffield Utd

Important news for this weekend is that we have 3 matches postponed for now because of covid cases reported for players:

Millwall - Preston
QPR - Swansea
Reading - Luton

I believe that the recess for international matches play an important role, however I believe that Fulham is stronger than ever, its players are at their best, and as they are playing I see that there is harmony between them, and this is something that very little is understood. See in football I have only seen this behavior in national teams where everyone knows each other perfectly where they understand each other completely, in this case we could say that Fulham no longer takes away the first place.

I believe the timing of the postponed match will effect both the teams, because the player’s will get less time for recovery hence they should work on rotating the squad to keep their player’s injury free. Also currently Fulham is leading and looking good, but if they slip then their lead isn’t big enough, hence they’ll have to keep performing at top level to secure the top spot.

There are three matches already that have been postponed. It seems like covid-19 has started to affect the Championship in a very bad way also after the English Premier League. And we know how much tighter the Championship fixture is than the EPL's. It is going to be even more difficult for the teams whose matches are postponed one by one. The season might end later than the date that was decided at the beginning.

[notblox1]

Barnsley vs West Brom is one match played today in EFL Championship and West Brom is looking like big favorite, but I would be careful betting on them.
Odds are low for away match and they have bad H2H history with Barnsley winning only two times from last six matches.
If we add that West Brom is missing few players for this match this makes me stay away from this match even more.
Barnsley is a team that had seven draws this season and most matches they played with under 2.5 goals, and West Brom is not much better so this will be my bet.

My bet: Under 2.5 goals

Now its already 5 in the championship for saturday and i think before matches start we might have even more. Even lower leagues in England are mostly postponed only maybe 6th and 7th are played much more then others. League two o most all postponed.
