EFL English Championship League 2024/2025

[notblox1]

guy even with so many draws from fulham. they are still in first place, but if they continue with these draws and defeat they will lose the position they occupy and after that it may be difficult for them to regain that position, I do not follow the EFL English Championship League, I want to start following from now on, so what happening to fulham?

Nothing special is happening to Fulham, they have best attack in Championship with 51 goals and they have the best striker Mitrovic, those four draws are normal to happen with teams in any league.
They didn't have luck in some matches, missed a lot of chances and 1:1 with Bournemouth is normal when you play with top teams in league.
Championship is very exciting to follow and unexpected results can happen more than in Premier League, some clubs have financial problems like Derby and they play better than table position is showing.

I can see that there are already seven games which have been postponed already for this weekend. But there are still three games which are waiting for being played. I hope that they won't be postponed too and we can watch some action at least. Covid-19 really damages this league now. It has affected so many players already that we can't even watch nearly single game without a problem.

Oh no, I just saw that Luton vs Bristol City is also postponed, because Luton camp had many positive cases.
That probably means I will have to change something in competition, if many postponed matches happen rewards will probably be reduced.

Well we wont know until 4 or 5 hours before matches start if they will be postponed.In championship even more postponed matches then in premier league and this is starting to become seriously annoying. I hope this three matches are played so we can bet on them.

I think we are safe for the rest of this round and this five remaining matches should be played, but next round on December 29 will be very tricky.

[notblox1]

Big mess in EFL Championship and some surprising results for people who don't follow this league regularly like me and some other guys from forum.
More postponed matches happened, Bournemouth finally won against QPR and they are back on top position with one match more than Blackburn and Fulham.
West Brom lost against Derby that can produce some surprises like we saw this season, shame they lost 21 points because of financial problems, they don't deserve last place on table with coach Wayne Rooney.

Next Round 25 is starting in two days, and so far we have four postponed matches and we can't bet on them:

Swansea - Luton
Birmingham - Peterborough
Reading - Fulham
West Brom - Preston

I hope we are going to see rest of the matches played out, but more postponed matches are possible, so I am waiting until last day before placing my bets.
This matches should happen on December 29 and 30:

Blackburn - Barnsley
Blackpool - Middlesbrough
Coventry - Millwall
Sheffield Utd - Hull
Bournemouth - Cardiff
Bristol City - QPR
Nottingham - Huddersfield
Stoke - Derby

@notblox1 there’re very few users here who’re actively following this thread, and yea it’s sad for Rooney but let’s hope that the team can bounce strongly from this though it’s going to be difficult but let’s hope for the best.

Also thanks for updating which games are postponed because it’s time consuming keeping a track of postponed games, and correct me if I’m wrong in case if a game is postponed won’t one get immediate refund from the sportsbook?.

Blackburn vs Barnsley
I can't see Blackburn missing a chance to win and get three points from this match, making one step closer to direct promotion to Premier league.
Home team is missing few players because of injuries but one of the best attackers in league Ben Brereton is ready and loaded.
Barnsley is a team with worst attack in league with only 15 scored from 23 matches and they are in relegation zone.
Anything less than home win with multiple goals would be huge surprise.
My Bets: Home win, Home win AH -1

Coventry vs Millwall
I don't understand why bookies have Coventry as so big favorite in this match, but I will take that in my advantage.
Coventry have very good home record but their recent form is not very good and Millwal is not easy team to break.
This two teams played three times this year and there was one draw with Coventry wining two times.
They both didn't play any match for three weeks so they are rested and I m expecting draw with both teams scoring.
My bet: Both Teams To Score.

Four matches should be played tonight in Championship league, and some of them are very important for top positions and Premier league promotion.
Fight is interesting even for relegation zone, and Derby needs a miracle to survive in league this season but maybe they will repeat previous season when they secured place in last round.

Bournemouth - Cardiff
Bournemouth was no in great form recently but they managed to win in last match again QPR and with win against Cardiff they would get nice advantage from Fulham and Blacburn.
Previous H2H matches are on home side and they have very good attackers like Solanke, but Cardiff is playing good in away matches this season, so this wont be a walk in a park.
Most of the matches Cardiff is losing at first half and I think this will continue today with Bournemouth, and final result should be home win.
Both teams are missing few players and Cardiff didn't play a single match in last two weeks.
My Bets: 1st Half Bournemouth; Home win.

Bristol City - QPR
Bristol City have a great record in previous matches with QPR, but QPR is just few steps away from play-off zone and they had very good run if we don't count last two matches.
Tricky match to predict and I would just skip this one.

Nottingham - Huddersfield
One more hard to predict match and both teams are in nice form recently.
Judging by their previous meetings I don't think we should see a draw here, so it's double chance lottery for home or away win, or just skip this for betting.

Stoke - Derby
This one is very interesting and I see here potential surprise of the night.
Odds are on home side to win and position on table is screaming home win, but something is telling me we can see a draw and low scoring match.
Home team is missing more players for this match and Derby managed to get miracle wins against West Brom and Blackpool in last two rounds.
Stats are showing us that both teams often play low scoring under 2.5 goals matches, and first half of Derby matches in draw is very often and they had most draws in league.
Even if Stoke manages to crack Derby defense it will be a narrow win in my opinion.
My bets: Under 2.5 goals; 1st Half Draw; Draw; Derby (+1) AH

Bournemouth won easy like I expected and they scored goal in first half, that makes my prediction correct, and I even predicted possible surprise on Stoke vs Derby match.
With win over Stoke they have 10 points and they are just 10 more points to escape relegation and complete mission impossible for this season, and it is possible if they continue to perform and win.

Today is a new round 26 in Championship with only Blackpool vs Hull is played today, and we have 3 postponed matches until now:
Sheffield Utd - Middlesbrough
Coventry - Luton
Swansea - Fulham

If you ask me Hull is a slight favorite against Blackpool who is in terrible form right now and they miss more players for today match, but Hull never won in previous meetings with Blackpool.
Hull lost only one from last seven matches and I think they can get one point here or maybe their first win against Blackpool in recent years.
My Bets: X2 double chance; Hull City (0) AH

Rest of the matches from this round scheduled for January 2nd and 3rd:

Blackpool - Hull
Bristol City - Millwall
Birmingham - QPR
Blackburn - Huddersfield
West Brom - Cardiff
Nottingham - Barnsley
Reading - Derby
Stoke - Preston
Bournemouth - Peterborough

[notblox1]

This round turned out great for Bournemouth, they collected most points from all top clubs and they are now in first place again with three points more than Blackburn Rovers.
Fulham, West Brom, QPR and Huddersfield Town are currently in play-off zone positions, and some of them disappointed their fans this weekend especially West Brom.
Derby is still keeping their great run without lost match and they won one point against Reading with two goals in last moments of the match.

Top goal scorers for now are:
Mitrovic (Fulham) 22,
Brereton (Blackburn) 20,
Solanke (Bournemouth) 18.

Championship League is taking small but deserved break and next round 27 is scheduled for January 15, but one previously postponed match should be played few days before.

[notblox1]

There is one match Reading vs Fulham played on January 11 in EFL Championship, and this is small warm up for next round starting this weekend.
Fulham is a clear favorite if you look at low odds bookmakers are offering, but previous H2H matches are showing different picture so I would be careful.
Reading won in last two matches this teams played against each other, and Fulham won only two times from last ten H2H matches.
Bad news for Reading is missing of some players, and both teams had to play in FA Cup few days ago, Reading lost against Kidderminster and Fulham against Bristol but only in extra time.
I expect to see goals from both sides but I wont go for a winner this time.

My Bets: Over 2.5 goals; Both teams to score; Mitrovic to score

@notblox1 it looks like Fulham completely destroyed Reading by scoring 7 goals and conceding none in the process, and while Fulham fans would have loved this performance I’m sure Reading fans will be asking serious questions about their coach, because after the FA Cup defeat they were expecting an instant reaction. Lastly do you think Reading coach is now under serious pressure of being sacked, or will the club allow him few more games in the hope that he can yet turnaround their season?.

It was really an incredible victory for Fulham.
Fulham even came from a bad period, in a series of five games without winning a game, but with this rout they are just one point away from the lead, with one game less than their direct rivals.

[notblox1]

Yes they did and I couldn't believe when I saw number off goals going up all the time, Mitrovic scored again like I predicted.
Fulham was always the team with best attacks this year in Championship but they are now dominating with total of 58 goals, from that Mitrovic scored 24 goals!

There is no time for rest, and EFL Championship Round 27 is starting this weekend and I am hoping all matches will be played without any postponed.
I see some good potential bets but I will wait for few more days to see missing and injured players before making my betting predictions.

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

Fulham - Bristol City

Of course, we won't expect another goal fest from Fulham. But right now, they are playing well and are very motivated to get a good result in this match.
Bristol also tend to play well, and their rating can be deceiving, but they certainly won't make the game any easier.

I believe that Fulham will win this match with a two-goal difference.

[notblox1]

New round of Championship matches is starting tomorrow and for now there is only one match postponed Barnsley vs Blackpool, for known reasons.
I can't believe the odds I see on some matches and I will gladly accept that odds from bookmakers.

Here comes my predictions, and don't forget to make your and participate in Sportsbet sponsored competition:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5381022.0

Fulham vs Bristol City
My first bet will be controversial and I am taking a risk, but I have a felling of going against what everyone is thinking after last round Fulham won with amazing result 7:0.
Fulham is big favorite in this match and everyone can see that but odds are very low and I don't think Fulham is going to win with big margin in this match.
Bristol City is traditionally hard opponent for Fulham and they didn't lost only two times from last ten H2H matches, winning all five away from home!
That is why I am thinking that one more surprise is possible again, or at least Fulham won't win with more than one or two goal difference.
My Bets: Bristol City (+2) AH; Double Chance X2 (low stakes); Under 3.5 goals.

Cardiff vs Blackburn
Amazing odds on Blackburn and I believe they can win in this match, like they did few months ago at home, confirming they are in top form.
To be more on safe side I wont exclude possible draw result that happened most time when this two teams played H2H.
Blackburn is playing few hours before Fulham and with win here they can overtake second place on table.
My Bets: Blackburn (0) AH; Double Chance X2; Blackburn (low stakes)

Luton vs Bournemouth
I just can't miss betting on Bournemouth win here against average Luton side.
Bournemouth is best away team in the league with best defense and great striker Brereton who is only four goals less that Mitrovic.
Few months ago Bournemouth was better at home stadium and Luon won only one match from last five.
This match is played in same time like Cardiff vs Blackburn, and this is chance for Bournemouth to confirm their first position.
My Bets: Bournemouth (0) AH; Bournemouth

QPR vs West Brom
West Brom is not in great form winning only two from last ten matches from all competition, and QPR could catch them if they win today.
I won't bet on winner here but I think that both teams will score, and anything is possible.
West Brom won inlast H2H match but it was with goal in 88  minute.
My Bets: Both Teams To Score.

My Bets: Bristol City (+2) AH; Double Chance X2 (low stakes); Under 3.5 goals.

I don't see it being such a wild bet! Mainly the aspect of Fulham not winning by more than 2 goals difference. Now, seeing Bristol City win... well, yes, I have some doubts.

They won't make it easy for Fulham, but I don't see them winning. This season Bristol City is not playing very well, and proof of that is the difference in points, 18 points to Fulham. Of course, that doesn't mean anything, and it can be a big surprise, especially in English football. But I don't see Fulham losing, at least a draw.

[notblox1]

This was another fantastic win from Fulham and now they scored six goals, three of them by Mitrovic hwho is now top goalscorer in league with 27 goals!
I watched the match Hull vs Blackburn and they lost in last second of the match, but it would be most fair for draw as final score.

No time for rest in Championship and four matches will be played this midwee starting from January 18:

Fulham - Birmingham
Preston - Sheffield Utd
Hull - Blackburn
Reading - Luton

Fulham - Birmingham match is almost starting. And the favourite side here is definitely Fulham. Birmingham are not having a favorable season now and Fulham are getting ready to destroy them I think. Bournemouth and Blackburn are right behind them by only two points in the standings currently. Fulham would like to win this match somehow and consolidate their position. Fulham won their last two head-to-heads against Birmingham home by 1-0 both. And they can win this by a similar result too.

I don't know what is happening with Fulham but they are playing amazing in last few weeks scoring like crazy, now they scored six goals against Birmingham!
First place on table well deserved for Fulham after scoring 13 goals in last two matches, and next they play with Stoke in few days.
Sheffield was leading with two goals in first half but Preston scored goal in last minutes for final result 2:2.
High scoring day in Championship, and we have two more matches for tomorrow.

@notblox1 I believe Fulham player’s have improved thier game, because they know if they drop points then they’ll lose the top spot, and it seems they’re giving everything on the pitch to preserve their lead.

Lastly if Fulham continue scoring goals at free will then it’ll be very difficult for other teams to dethrone them from the top spot, and that’s why I feel we’ll see more entertaining games ahead because the error for margin is very less between the top teams.

Fulham simply blew away Birmingham, and with that victory they were 5 points ahead of second place.

They are playing very well and the ease with which they are scoring goals, it's really going to be hard to lose games. It's a team that focuses on scoring goals, it doesn't matter if you have to concede some along the way. In the end as long as they score more than the opponent is great.

After winter break they play 3 matches and all results like 0 - 7, 6 - 2, and now 6 - 2 mean they are on top of their game and with these results now no team able to stop them having this top rank for rest of season and going to promote automatically for Premier League, but they need some better quality players for staying into Premier League because last time they were down and out very badly against Premier League teams just because of poor quality.

After 26 rounds now they have still 20 matches and look like they can achieve century of points with their current form and quality of game which is very good for them and their management and re-entry into Premier League.
