EFL English Championship League 2024/2025

[buwaytress]

Good to see activity started again here with the early start of new season and first day is not good enough for punters as we have most of the games ends in draw yesterday Burnley done good job under new coach V Kompany a good and aggressive game against Huddersfield today we have few teams done poor job and with this poor start of new season we can feel a quality competition between these teams for next promotion.

On first day of new season we have very few goals from all teams as mostly were on defensive mod with heat is still on and players can face some trouble with this all, hopefully this all will be change after 4 or 5 weeks because after this time weather could be better, and we will have good entertainment from these quality teams.

First games are never good enough to tell a team's expected performance throughout the season, and Championship is even more of an anomaly in that regard I think, mainly because the season's a little longer in terms of games. Give it 5 more games to get a sense of who knows what they're doing, who's going to run themselves into the ground, and who's got hungry players

Former Manchester CT player Vincent Kompanie will have his first game as coach of Burnley.
Bringing in some new faces he will hope they bring the change Burnley desires after ditching
Sean Dyche last season. I see Burnley winning the championship and I am serious about it

Burnley was just insane in their first match against Huddersfield. They destroyed them in statistics and they had over 15+ shots while Huddersfield only had 2 shots,it is really wierd that the result ended just 0-1 but if they continue with this play big things can be expected from them in this season

There is no doubt Burnley is having amazing start of their new season under new coach Vincent Kompnay which came from Belgium for this stunt and most chances he is going to be very aggressive in his new job because after first match surely we can expect results like this from him. Huddersfield were completely outclassed in this match and lucky they have no enough goals from their opponents as they were playing there was chance we have nearly 3 or 4 goals in this match, but just one early goal was enough for them to have full three points in first match of the new season.
No doubt they can win this Championship even it's just first match, but attitude is surely amazing and aggression is also having his own power.

It was a terrific goal from Maatsen on his debut for Burnley. I know that the scoreline does not suggest Burnley actually dominating against Huddersfield. But the truth is Burnley actually dominated very well against Huddersfield in this match. Apparently had a lot more chances and very well-created chances to push ahead and increase their goal difference in this match.

Nevertheless, Huddersfield's goalkeeper did a good job. Even though in the end it was only one goal separating both teams, it was Burnley who were in the driving seat of the match. Never at any point in the match did it feel like Burnley might lose. It was also really enjoyable to see the passing and chemistry between the players. It felt like they knew what their teammates were trying to do.

I remember that Kompany was a leader on the pitch, and he had this winning attitude which made him special hence I’m not surprised at all that he’s already transformed Burnley. Furthermore if this is the trailer of all the good things to come from Burnley then I guess that we’ll have a new favourite team to wager on, but I would like to see them repeat such performances regularly before we start wagering big amounts on them.

Hull City defeated Bristol City 2-1. Ozan Tufan and Michael Seri scored the winning goals for Hull City. I expect Hull City to reach the Premier League next year. Because I think they have made a very good team. The new owner of the team Acun Ilıcalı, transferred good players to the team this year. They deserve to be promoted to the Premier League.

We have very good start from few teams in first round of this season, even it's just start and very long way to go for staying at top but as we have good performance in last season from few teams we can expect good challenge in this season as well. Hull City were not good in last season but new owner Acun llicali was very ambitious about his team and for bringing them into top level hopefully they will do good in new season with Blackburn, Burnley and Blackpool are also in good shape and have some good players those can give them good results in crucial games.

Now we have to wait for how they will be in Championship and can these teams do much better for going into Premier League in next season.

Hull city Got Lucky in my opinion. I thought that Bristol City played better in that match compared to Hull City And honestly, I think Bristol City would have been the deserving winner of that match. The last goal which was scored by Hull City was a really lucky one. A big deflection from the defender of Bristol City caused the ball to end up in the back of the net and the goalkeeper could not do anything about that. But both teams had a lot more chances to score in that match. Two penalty appeals from Bristol City but both got denied. Ozan Tufan played really well in that match. But a win is a win and I believe they will be more confident from now on. And they have also made a good decision with Ozan Tufan.

First games are never good enough to tell a team's expected performance throughout the season, and Championship is even more of an anomaly in that regard I think, mainly because the season's a little longer in terms of games.

First matches are not showing real form and teams are still testing each other, that is the same for all leagues in the world.
After first one or two months we can see the situation much better.

First round of EFL Championship is finished and I saw many results I didn't expect to see, my prediction picks didn't go like I expected so I lost my bet.
There was a lot of draws and only one away win for Burnley against Huddersfield, but it's still early to talk about standings and promotions.
Cresswell from Millwall scored two goals in match against Stoke and he is currently best goal scorer in league.
Next round is coming this weekend so get ready on time.

Generally, I believe that players are a lot rusty at the start of a new season. It can take a bit of time for any player to start playing his most efficient football after the start of the season. But eventually, the players will start to play better. So no players or teams should be judged on their start of the season. As an example, we can look at Barcelona in the last season of La Liga. Even though they started badly, they eventually finished as the second team in the La Liga standings. So it is always possible to make a comeback. And there is nothing to worry about if the first few matches are not producing the most desirable results.

This is not strictly Championship news but related with lower leagues, one more football club Oxford City is going to have Bitcoin logo on their shirts.
Oxford City FC is the first National League football club to accept Bitcoin and Lightning payments using partnership with CoinCorner to accept Bitcoin payments.
This will allow supporters to buy tickets using Bitcoin, other than cash and cards payments.

It is still interesting news for the market.
Now it remains to be seen how many fans will be willing to buy the tickets with Bitcoin. Because I think that's sometimes the difficulty - motivating BTC holders to make purchases with that BTC.

Just because of this decision, I hope Oxford City FC has a great season!

Second round of EFL Championship is starting this weekend and first match is played between Birmingham and Huddersfield in Friday.
This is not easy match to predict and I expected to see better performance from Huddersfield in first match because last season they had chance to qualify for Premier League.
Birmingham City has a new coach for this season and they will try to stay undefeated in this match, but they didn't win in last three H2H matches.
I think we could see draw here, but Huddersfield must attack to get first points in this season.
There are better matches for betting this round so I will make more predictions tomorrow.

Birmingham - Huddersfield
Norwich - Wigan
Bristol City - Sunderland
Burnley - Luton
Preston - Hull
QPR - Middlesbrough
Reading - Cardiff
Sheffield Utd - Millwall
Stoke - Blackpool
Swansea - Blackburn
Coventry - Rotherham
West Brom - Watford

First match in second round of Championship finished yesterday with Birmingham 2:1 win again Huddersfield.
This was deserved win, home team was much better in first half and Birmingham is now undefeated and on top of the table.
One match already started today Norwich vs Wigan so I am skipping predictions for that, but I am picking Burnley to win against Luton.
Coach Vincent Kompany made a nice compact team and they started this season in a great way with win against top team Huddersfield.
My bet: Burnley win

Burnley vs Luton Town has already finished. It was a draw between both teams. The score is 1-1 at the end of the match. Burnley is going to play Watford in the next match. The QPR vs Middlesbrough match was quite interesting. A lot of goals and also a few cards in that match. In my opinion, this was a pretty exciting match. And Watford is going to play against West Brom before they face Burnley.

Missed your second round, notblox1 -- but I'm missing in action for a bit more, probably might make it for Round 3 though.

Is ClubTalk Radio on Sportsbet also giving Championship some love?

If Watford win tonight, they'll be just 7 teams in the running for a perfect start to the season, but that'll probably be significantly better than Premier League who'll only have 8 teams max after Matchday 2!

I am not sure if Championship will be mentioned but it would be cool if they do that.
This summer I don't have much free time like Trofo and I didn't manage to joined Fantasy league like I wanted.
Championship prediction competition is best I can do for now and I will try to write my predictions every week.

Nobody won today but Ismaïla Sarr missed a penalty for Watford in second half.
West Brom attacked more, they had much more chances, corners, and shots on goal, so I think draw is a fair result.
Blackburn started this season in a great way with two wins but real test is next round with West Brom.
Huddersfield is one of the biggest disappointment in Championship for me in first two rounds so far.

Sarr give early leads to Watford which was leveled by Grant just before end of first half and in second half Sarr missed penalty which is surely missed their second win and perfect start of this season now they are going to face Burnley in third match of this new season which is going to be very interested because they are also on same points with same results after two matches but here we have some rumors that Manchester United is interested into Sarr for their club and if Watford is going to sell him then it's going to be big problem for them, and they can go down in this season as well because he is a quality striker and can give them some good wins.

Blackburn is the top with perfect start of the season, and they are going to face West Brom in third round which is also good for them as they can keep their unbeaten record and stay at top.

They actually kept track on many games last season (well, they kept track of a lot of games as they were all playing out at the same time) especially towards the end of the season with so much to play for for so many teams. Definitely remember Derby games being part of it, though they lost their relegation battle...

I joined Fantasy but can't change my team until... next week earliest. Oops.

Round 3 EFL Championship is starting this weekend and first match Watford vs Burnley is scheduled for Friday.
Vincent Kompany started very good as Burnley manager that has four points from two matches with strong teams Luton and Huddersfield.
Watford started this season with same points like Burnley but recent H2H matches are on Burnley side.
Looking at odds I think best value is betting on double chance with draw and away win or asian handicap.
My Bet: X2, Burnley (0) AH.

First Championship match already started and Watfrod is leading 1:0 against Burnley at the end of first half, but it was equal match so far and result changes are possible in second half.
Let's talk more about matches played tomorrow and my predictions for them, but better use lower stakes in first few rounds.
Don't forget you can find all matches on Sportsbet website:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

Huddersfield Town vs Stoke City
I lost my faith in Huddersfield because they are in terrible form at the moment so I am betting against them and I think Stoke can win here.
In previous H2H matches Stoke was much better and trip to Huddersfield is not so long.
I don't expect many goals in this match, and draw is not excluded so I think asian handicap 0 is a good bet, and if you want more risk than bet on away win.
MyBets: Stoke City (0) AH; Away win.

Blackpool vs Swansea
Swansea is one of those teams you never know how they will play but I am sure they can win some points from this match.
Blackpool have many missing players tomorrow and it's time for Swansea to make their first win this season.
I am taking safer bet on Swansea to win or draw.
My Bet: X2 Double Chance

Sunderland vs QPR
This is more risky bet but Sunderland started this season in high spirits and they must win points at their Stadium of Light.
QPR needs to travel to the north of England but I don't think they can repeat what they did last week against Middlesbrough.
My Bet: Home win

[notblox1]

I can't believe that Sunderland was leading 2:0 until 87' minute and QPR managed to score two goals in few minutes for final result 2:2, but this is what happened.
Swansea won against Blackpool like I expected, but I missed my prediction for third match with Huddersfield finally making first win in this season against Stoke.
Two more matches are happening in Sunday, Middlesbrough vs Sheffield Utd and Blackburn vs West Brom.
Hard matches to predict but I am expecting Blackburn to win but 1X double chance would be good bet.
Some players are missing from Sheffield Utd so I think that Middlesbrough have better chances to win but draw is possible.
