EFL English Championship League 2024/2025

[slaman29]

I hit a really nice bet on Championship special last week so I will definitely keep an eye out here again for something like that. For sure there's always one or two whenever there are games but to see something like 15x last week was quite rare. It feels super unpredictable in the Championship so you always feel like 2x or 3x games aren't really "worth it". Agree?

If you are talking about Championship Special Bets in Sportsbet, that is not happening so often, but if you notice it every again you should post it here in this topic.
I am not always opening that icon on Sportsbet website and I need to see what matches are offered before placing a bet.

Yes, I'm talking about those, it's mixed but there's always space to show it when there are big days. I'll definitely remember to post in here if it excites everyone, for sure any special makes me happy to see

Today everything is about Europa and Conference, but I am very sure we get some nice specials tomorrow.

Thank you also for prediction contest

Huddersfield vs QPR
This will be my bet of this round and I think Huddersfield will win and continue with good form.
Both teams will have some missing players for tomorrow but home team is stronger and they have good H2H history against QPR.
With win here Huddersfield will be closer to dream of going directly in Premier League.
My Bet: Huddersfield win

Peterborough vs Blackburn
Last team in table Peterborough is going in lower league next season and Blackburn still can get into play-off zone with win in this match.
I think odds for away win are good and I can't see any surprises from home team who are missing a lot of players tomorrow.
Blackburn is not without problems in sqaud and they got only draws in last two matches, but thewre is no better chance than this to get back on wining ways.
My Bet: Blackburn win.

To interesting matches to watch is Bournemouth vs Middlesbrough and Derby vs Fulham but it's very hard for me to predict them.
Fulham is clear favorite but they are not really motivated to win, and Derby is hoping for impossible miracle to happen so they can stay in league.
It's only mathematical chances and Reading needs to lose matches in next few rounds, and I don't think this is realistic.

Man I really hope Derby win today and keep their hopes alive yet for a few more weeks. I saw Rooney recently on a news interview and he looks more like 50 than 36, so sad in a way I think the job really made him grow old. Not even a fan of the guy but who can dislike him after what he has done?

Anyway, there is a wonderful special today:
Championship - Multi
Blackburn Rovers, Sheffield United & Stoke City All To Win @5x

I took it, looks good

@slaman29 that’s the pressure showing on him, and even if they win there’s a rumour about more points being deducted so I feel it’s about time he leaves them, and move on because he’s done a lot for them and now I’m not sure if he can do anything more for them. Also that’s a strong multi bet and I’ll second that because it indeed looks good, and definitely a good way to make some quick bucks if it’s your lucky day.

^ Sorry about your special, dead on the first leg, heh. Had no idea the games started so early Friday, how the hell are fans going to come support their team when rush hour's on? Or do these teams generally just have no traffic on the weekend?

Anyway, great start for me in the predictions as I had Luton exactly at 1:0, 1 penalty, 12 cards, ah, life in the Championship. Even got the Preston draw right (so far) but Blades down a goal already ouch! I did pick 3:1 so maybe my prescience is spot on ha ha.

Enjoy Friday boys and girls. Come on Derby!

I didn't expect they will start so early and I didn't check exact start time before, but I think this is because of FA Cup matches starting this weekend.
They wanted to finish all matches in Friday and next round is already starting during midweek in few days, so they will have more rest.

There is one more Special bet in Sportsbet for Championship, Fulham To Win & Both Teams To Score with nice odds:

Seems a strange idea, as none of the teams left in the FA Cup are not in the premier league, but you could be right if it's all about viewership -- guess the FA Cup always wants maximum coverage and you can't have fans watching football at stadiums when they could be at home watching Liverpool beat Citeh yeah? Yes we almost let it slip but phew.

Anyway, tough on the specials, but what a win for Derby eh? From a goal down too, I think I picked quite a few upsets (but not all). Curious to see who'll win this week's pick.

[notblox1]

There was surprising results in this round with Derby winning against first placed Fulham but Reading also won against Sheffield Utd, so they are keeping distance from relegation zone and Derby.
My main picks for this round Huddersfield and Blackburn failed to win in their matches and this complicates situation for play-off zone and Premier league promotion.
Interesting in Championship is that difference from third place to twelve place is only ten points, that makes fight for play-off zone very unpredictable.

Fulham is facing some unexpected loss but I think it doesn't matter at the moment because they are still quite some points ahead of the second team and the lead is quite comfortable.
I still think that Fulham is going to be promoted to the Premier League. The question is whale Bournemouth and Huddersfield be able to hold on to their position which seems highly unlikely at the moment.

Fulham is surely feeling comfortable after having very healthy lead and now surely they are going to into Premier League without playing playoff, so they are not taking these matches seriously which is giving them unexpected loses from last five matches they already have three. For second spot most chances Bournemouth are also going into Premier League because they have also done good job and have good lead even Huddersfield trying their best for catching them, but sadly their current form is not good to achieve this all so most chances they have to play into playoff and then take their chances for going into Premier League.

In relegation zone now all three teams are already settle for going down feeling sad for Derby, but now things are clearly against them, and they lost their all available chances which is surely given them this big set back.

New EFL Championship Round 43 started today with twelve new matches, after short break from previous round played in Friday.
Huddersfield has a great chance to come only one point less than Bournemouth and with few more points they could go directly in Premier League.
I am supporting Derby to win today against QPR but it's going to be hard and even if they win they would need Reading to lose against Swansea.
This is my bet of this round, Reading is missing few plyers and they won against Swansea only one time in recent h2h.
My Bet: X2 double chance (Draw or Swansea to win)

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

A minute of silence for Derby. Featured plenty in my bets over past seasons. Player manager Rooney made it some kind of legend. Saved them last season on final day with that crazy epic 3-3... But today they go down.

After Leeds, Derby were why I followed Championship football. Of course, still got some Liverpool boys here so am not abandoning but all the same, gotta feel for the Rams.

Although Derby managed to control the match against their opponent QPR, it's a shame that Derby had to suffer a defeat in the final minutes of the match, actually Derby played well, in the previous match Derby managed to beat it. leaders Fulham, with a score of 2-1, but Derbi is unfortunate not to be able to continue the positive trend against QPR earlier, most likely next season Derby will have to go back down to caste, they must play in the 3rd division of the English league, because it is very difficult for Derby, to get out from the relegation zone, because there are only 3 matches left.

[wiss19]

Today a very sad day for Derby fans as now they are settled for going down into League One for next season Rooney done good job but fail to save them from this relegation with today results now mostly things settle for last three teams those are going to down but still we have very good fight at top even two teams are very strong for automatic promotion but playoff having very entertaining matches right now Nottingham is thrashing ten men West Brom and giving themselves a good chance for having higher rank in league table.

After today win they will be at fifth with two matches in hand and having chance for jumping to third spot which could be good for them but still just playoff chance because gape is widening between top two and other teams looking for playoff race.

Nottingham - West Brom

I am picking this tie because it is one that i follow alot, because i get to watch mufc loanee, Garner pull the strings in the middle almost every game week for Nottingham. He was also instrumental today as Nottingham win with 4 unreplied goals against 10 men westbromich albion. Garner forced a handball and redcard for a westbrom player, before swing in an excellent corner for Nottingham second goal. Great tie, great performance, good player. Nottingham  remain 5th, with 7 points off 2nd position and 2 games in hand
 
Nottingham 4 - 0 West Brom

Derby deserve respect for this season and for their good results like it was win against first place team Fulham, and they had 13 wins so far in this season, but that massive point deduction killed them long time ago.
Don't expect them to lose all remaining matches now, I think they are going to give their best efforts and win for pride.
If you look at their home record they are 6th place with only three lost matches!

Fulham vs Preston North End

League leaders Fulham host Preston North End tonight in the championship, knowing fully well that a win leads them closer to mathematically qualifying for premier football next season. It is a must win game for Fulham as they face Nottingham forest next. What are your predictions.

After few sloppy weeks now leaders Fulham back into business and right now as we are heading for end of first half they are leading by 3 - 0 against Preston which is at middle of league table with this win most chances they will stay on top until end of this season as gape is widening between other teams and Fulham.

Metrovic is having magical season as he is leading table with 39 goals which is a record for this league in a season, but they need same this spirit and some good quality for next year's as they will fight into Premier League where things are very tough in last few years as quality of play is improving drastically, and it's not easy for any team to survive here if they are some sloppy or having average performance.

[darxiaomi]

The same as always with Fulham they go up to the Premier and after hey go down again to the championship. I dont know how they can be so dominant in championship but cant stand one season in Premier. Other teams like the teams that go up being second or third stand and they not.

[notblox1]

Very easy win for Fulham against Preston and I think they now officially confirmed promotion to Premier League next season!
Now it's the question what other two clubs will join them in premier league and Bournemouth has highest changes to do that.
Next round44 is starting in few days, so there is not much time to rest.
