Very strange results today in Championship.
From my predictions only Southampton won against Millwall but this was hard won in last moments of the match in stoppage time.
This is important three points for Southampton that is now on 4th position on table, this gives them chance for next season in Premier League.
Wayne Rooney is not joking with Birmingham and he was very near of winning all three points against Ipswich today.
Harness saved Ipswich today after scoring two goals in last ten minutes of the match.

Norwich vs Blackburn is last match left in this round.
Blackburn is in better form right now but Norwich has better H2H record, and both teams are missing few players for this match.
I am expecting to see lot of goals in this match and both teams to score, they don't have very good defense but they can both score goals.

My Bets: Both Teams To score; Over 2.5 goals.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/norwich-city-v-blackburn-rovers-653cfac81650fc00016dd340

Both bets won!

Blackburn was much better than Norwich today and they managed to win 3:1 and they even had red card for most of the second half.
After this round Blackburn now have best goal scorer in Championship, that is Sammie Szmodics with 9 goals so far, same as Clarke from Sunderland.
They usually have very good attack every season but they have issues in defense, and they cant qualify to Premier League without that.

Round 15 is finished but we have one more match tomorrow that was canceled few weeks ago, Rotherham vs Ipswich.
This is perfect chance for Ipswich to come back after draw in last round and defeat in EFL cup, and Rotherham is perfect opponent for them.
Home team is missing several players and they already lost from Ipswich in FA cup this year.
This is clear away win for me.

My Bets: Ipswich win; Ipswich win 1st half.

Ipswich didnt have luck and patience to keep their lead against Rotherham few days ago, and I am wondering if they are slowly slipping down or not.
They are only three points below Leicester and they will have real test this weekend against Swansea.

Round 16 is starting tomorrow with match Blackburn vs Preston.
Both teams are missing several players for this match, but I am little surprised to see this odds on Blackburn.
They are missing first goalkeeper with six more players and they dont have very good H2H record against Preston, but they have best goal scorer in Championship.
I think we are going to see goals in this match and both team scoring, but I am not sure who will win the match.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score; Over 2.5 goals.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score; Over 2.5 goals.

Both bets won!

Preston won with goal in stoppage time, but this was enough for me
Both teams had more chances for goal and I am surprised we dindt see more goals.

I really like the odds on Leicester against Middlesbrough, and I knw this wont be easy win for them but I expect them to bounce back after losing last round from Leeds.
For me there is low chance of Leicester losing this match and I think asian handicap is very good safer option.
Both teams are missing few players but H2H is on Leicester side and they have firepower to do that.

My Bets: Leicester DNB; Leicester win; Both Teams To Score.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/middlesbrough-fc-v-leicester-city-654665d51650fc00018c4916

Ipswich vs Swansea
I am going for Ipswich win again, but I dont like betting against Swansea who can be very unpredictable.
For this match Swansea is missing many players and I think this is good chance for Ipswich to come back after series of unlucky bad results.
Odds for home win are low but I think they can do it and they can score first goal in this match.

My Bet: Ipswich win.

Championship is getting more interesting after Leicester lost against Middlesbrough with a late goal.
I didnt expect this outcome, but this gives more hope to other teams who are chasing direct promotion.
Ipswich is back on track after with against Swansea, but Leeds are Southampton is right behind.
Another lost match for Birmingham and Wayne Rooney but he claims they are improving in every match.
Next round is break in Championship for international matches and teams can use this time to regroup.

That's Micheal Carrick in charge of Middlesbrough? He's used his Premier League experience to hold them down this they got the chance to score. I must say he is a better coaching option than Wayne Rooney has been over the past few clubs he's managed.
Leicester City regardless, remains at the top of the Championships with full hopes of returning back to the Premier League Campaign next season.

Queens Park Rangers against Bristol City and Coventry against Stoke City were amongst the teams i selected to play fulltime draw, my tips correct but got fvcked with the Everton game, they failed to deliver.

Wayne Rooney? He talks too much but can't do a proper coaching job? Mind you you was appointed manager of the club when Birmingham City was 6th position on the Championship standing. Has anyone checked the position they occupy now? I won't say, go see for yourself. Wayne Rooney should go work with Pep Guardiola to get good grasp of the coaching job.

He came in late to change something in Birmingham and he signed for them a month ago, that is 5 matches as their manager, so I dont know what you are talking about, he was not here from the start of the season.
I dont know what you are expecting from guy who started working as a coach just few years ago with Derby County and he saved them from relegation that season.

EFL Championship Round 17 is back for this weekend and first match Rotherham vs Leeds is played in Friday.
Leeds is a clear favorite here and with win they can come much closer to first two places that mean direct promotion to Premier League and maybe Championship title.
Rotherham is in bad form, they have worst defense in Championship with 32 conceded goals, and they are desperate to escape relegation zone.
I cant see home side wining any points in this match but be careful with stakes as Rotherham just sacked coach after last week humiliation.

My Bets: Leeds win; Leeds win (-1) AH.

https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/rotherham-united-v-leeds-united-654fc3a3b3c6960001126821

It is clear that Leeds United are the favorites in this match and they also have 9 wins from 16 matches which allows them to occupy third place in the Championship League standings.
There will be who can be promoted next season into the Premier League and I think the battle for that position will occur between Leeds United, Ipswich or Leicester and even though they have also entered the Premier League several times and failed but at least they have always been the team that dominates the Championship League in these few seasons.

Coming back to Leeds United vs Rotherham, even though Leeds are the favorites in this match, Rotherham has home advantage which could make it a little difficult for Leeds to score more goals to win absolutely.
But it is true that Rotherham is a lowly team that so far has only had two wins and that too only against weak teams.
The prediction of Leeds winning with a score of 1 - 0 or 2 - 1 might be worthy prediction in this match.

But it is true that Rotherham is a lowly team that so far has only had two wins and that too only against weak teams.
The prediction of Leeds winning with a score of 1 - 0 or 2 - 1 might be worthy prediction in this match.

Rotherham's last game was not very good for them in defensive terms, they have been a team with poor defensive performance in my opinion and it has become very common for them to concede 2 to 3 goals in their games, sometimes they even manage to avoid the worst causing them to only concede 1 goal. but in their last game against watford they conceded 5 goals, in which 2 goals were scored in the 1 half, the rest of the goals were scored in the 2 half, and a very bad result for them, probably if the game wasn't at home of them, I would say that the players' confidence would be shaken, but the fact that this game will be played at Rotherham's home creates a much more problematic scenario for Leeds

I see that the bookmakers are giving odds of @1.35 if Leeds wins the game and @8.20 if Rotherham wins the game, I suppose that this big favoritism for Leeds is because Rotherham lost against Watford by a big goal difference, conceding 5 goals was simply very humiliating, but Rotherham have done well when playing at home in the last 5 games, they have only had 1 defeat in the last 5 home games and they always score when they play at home, While Leeds haven't done well away from home, they've been losing and scoring few goals, I haven't seen whether both teams have injured players or not. but this odds of 1.35 for Leeds to win, is a trap, I don't see an easy victory for Leeds, I see Rotherham getting a draw in this game

[notblox1]

Leeds again failed to win, and Friday is not their favorite day this season
Rest of the matches in this round are played in Saturday and this is chance for other teams to take over third place on table, maybe Southampton.
Sothampton is playing against Huddersfield and this is perfect chance for them to climb on third place if they win.
Home team is missing several players  and they are fighting to survive in league this season.
This is clear away win for me and I think they will win in first half also.

My Bets: Southampton win; Southampton win 1st half.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/huddersfield-town-v-southampton-fc-654fa01e34ce9a0001b22f2f

West Brom vs Ipswich
I really cant miss this amazing odds on Ipswich, and I know West Brom is not a bad team so I am taking the safer options.
This will be last match in this round and good chance for both teams to progess up the table.
Home team is missing several players, and for Ipswich it is only Evans this time.
I am not excluding a draw result here, but I really think Ipswich can win, they have best attack in Championship and they can score goals when needed.

My Bets: X2 Double chance; Ipswich (0) AH
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/west-bromwich-albion-v-ipswich-town-654fa45134ce9a0001949f54

[notblox1]

All best lost for today
I dont know what happened with Ipswich but Southampton was few minutes away from wining three points against Huddersfield, and they need to win matches like this if they want to come back in Premier League 
West Brom is in terrific form and I underestimated that what I bet against them in match with Ipswich.
Leicester won another match at home and they are again making distance from other teams.

Short break in Championship, and as usual next round is in few days, in similar time like Champions League.

[Slow death]

today we have a lot of games

Hull City - Rotherham United

This is a game in which Hull City comes as the favorite, and I see that this odds of 1.45 if Hull City wins the game if it rises a little to something like 1.70 then it would be an interesting odds to put money on. but betting with this odds of 1.45 seems disadvantageous and less profitable to me, I know that on paper the performance of these two teams in the last 5 games is very different. Hull City managed to have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat, in their last game they had a draw, while Rotherham comes from a sequence of 5 games without winning, but the fact that they managed to get 3 draws and in their last game having had a draw, makes this game complicated for Hull City, which in its last game had a draw, which is why when I look at this odds of 1.45 I think it is a very low odds for the risk of betting on Hull City in this game.

Watford - Norwich

When I look at these two teams, I always remember the times when they were in the premier league. Since they were relegated, they are very close to returning to the premier league, something very regrettable, looking at the performance of these two teams this season it seems to me that they will not achieve promotion to the premier league either. My prediction for this game is for Watford to win, I think they will do better than Norwich. But I won't place any bets on this game, nor will I watch any of these games because I'm watching the European Champions League games.

[notblox1]

Championship Round 18 is played today and tomorrow, in the same time like most matches in European Champions League.
I really see big value in betting on Preston today against Middlesbrough, maybe with X2 double chance or some good asian handicap.
Bookies made home team a big favorite and they can win, but I am not taking them with this odds.
Both teams are missing some players, but Preston is placed higher on table, and they have solid H2H record against Middlesbrough.
This is risky bet I see value here and if Preston loses with one goal you get your stakes back.

My Bet: Preston (+1) AH
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/middlesbrough-fc-v-preston-north-end-6560abfe0a6c950001847191

[notblox1]

One match is scheduled for today in Championship, but I am not interested in Preston vs QPR and I dont know to predict outcome correctly.
Preston is fighting to come back in playoff positions and QPR is on different side of table fighting for survival.
I think X2 double chance is more likely, but anything can happen in this match.

More matches are played tomorrow and I really like odds on Ipswich to win against Coventry at home.
This is the match to show if they can really compete with Leicester for Championship title and promotion to Premier League.

My Bet: Ipswich win, Ipswich win 1st half

Been a long, long while since I placed some dollars on Championship but I thought it was a suitable Friday for a live pick. I still feel bad going against Rooney after sticking with him for so long during the days of his Derby exploits but one must understand self-fulfilling prophecies of form so I ticked on Coventry after a slight boost after 15 minutes of play.

Very weird selection for an acca, even throwing in basketball. But hey, I'm good.

Very nice bet on Coventry!  
I was busy but I would probably skip this match for betting.
Things are not going good for Rooney, his team is without win in last three rounds, and more hard matches are coming in next few rounds.

Middlesbrough vs Ipswich Town
Call me crazy for going against Middlesbrough in Riverside stadium, but I love the underdog story of Ipswich this season, and I think they can win points in this match.
H2H is on home side but this two teams didnt play since 2018 and lot changed since than.
Home team is missing several important players in defense and attack, so this could be good chance for Ipswich to score goal or two.
Ipswich has best attack in Championship with 41 goals, and I can see both teams scoring in this match.

My Bets: Ipswich (0) AH, Both Teams To Score, X2 double chance.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/middlesbrough-fc-v-ipswich-town-656b38be49a19800017882a4

Very nice win from Ipswich against Middlesbrough, like I expected, now they are in second place with only one point below Leicester.

New Championship round 20 is starting tomorrow and six more matches are played in Wednesday.
I am going to continue riding Ipswich train against Watford, and I think that odds are very good.
Watford is a good team but lets see how they are going to cope with best attack in league, and one of the best team in away matches.
H2H is on Ipswich side but this two teams didnt play for years, so that is not so important for tomorrow.
I expect to see goals in this match and maybe both teams to score, but Ipswich away win is tempting.

My Bet: Ipswich (0) AH, Ipswich win
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/watford-fc-v-ipswich-town-65731833b14b99000160f3ee

My Bet: Ipswich (0) AH, Ipswich win

Both bets won!
Ipswich is flying high with another win against Watford, and they are back in first place.
Now Leicester needs to win against Millwall tomorrow if they want to get back on top position.
Very interesting for neutral spectators

Odds for Leicester win is very low so I wont touch that match and I dont think Millwall is that weak like bookies think.
Southampton looks like a good bet against Coventry, but I am going with safer double chance option X2.
Norwich win against Sheffield is my second bet, but I am again going safer asian handicap option.

My bets: Southampton (+0.5) AH; Norwich City (0/-0.5) AH

This was a very good round of Championship predictions and I hope some of you guys followed then and won
Leicester won against Millwall and they are back in first place, this is so exciting race for first place.
I have to confess that I support underdog Ipswich in this season, so go The Tractor Boys go!

Championship is back this weekend.
