EFL English Championship League 2024/2025

[notblox1]

There are four matches played today in EFL Champinship and some of them are very important.
Ipswich has a massive chance of coming back in promotion race if they win against Rotherham tonight.
Both teams are missing some players today but Rotherham is dead last place and they are in terrible form with only three wins in whole season.
Southampton has a tricky match against Hull City and they need to win to stay in second place.
Both teams are in good form and this wont be easy home win as odds suggest, and Southampton need to look on Ipswich with one eye.
Hull needs to win if they want to have the chance for promotion in play-offs.

Cardiff vs Blackburn
Ipswich vs Rotherham
Plymouth vs West Brom
Southampton vs Hull

My Bets: Ipswich win 1st half; Southampton and Hull: Both Teams To Score.

My Bets: Ipswich win 1st half; Southampton and Hull: Both Teams To Score.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

Both bets won!
Ipswich is back in the race and Southampton lost from Hull and they are back in fourth place.

EFL Championship rollercoaster continues with round 34 and two matches played tomorrow.
Coventry vs Preston and in second match Leeds is waiting for leader Leicester in biggest derby of this round.
I cant pinpoint the winners in both matches, Coventry and Preston are fighting for playoff position and they are both in solid form.
Bookies made Coventry a big favorite but I see value in betting on Preston not to lose in this match.
Situation is similar in second match, Leeds is going to miss some players and I dont remember when I saw better odds on Leicester 

My Bets: Preston (+1) AH;  Leicester (+0.5) AH

My Bets: Preston (+1) AH;  Leicester (+0.5) AH
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

Preston won 3:0!
Leicester lost 3:1

What a derby match this was!
Leicester had the lead until 80 minute of the match and they missed plenty of great chances, and when someone misses so many punishment must come.
Leeds played amazing last ten minutes and scored three goals out from nowhere for another win, and they turned title race very interesting again with only 6 points difference!
Remember that first two places mean direct Premier League promotion and last team will be decided in play-offs.
I just love EFL Championship  



Ten more matches are all played in Saturday and now Southampton and Ipswich have a great to climb the table.
Ipswich is one of my tips for tomorrow, but if you want to get better odds get on Ipswich to win first half.
Southampton should also win and I am going the same route like for Ipswich.

My Bets: Ipswich & Soutampton to win 1st half

Right you are, notblox1. Love the Championship. And, well, if I ever thought the Championship was running out of drama, we have Leeds cutting the Foxes' lead at the top, we've got pswich back in business, we've got Saints now see-sawing in the final third.

Twelve more games to go, it's now going to be extremely crucial each step of the way. Saints want direct promotion but they're going to have a torrid time -- might even be wise to simply make the playoffs without too many injuries if they keep dropping points like this!

Drama is just getting started in Championship! 
Ipswich won against Birmingham, not like I expected in first half but they conceded one goal in last moments, and they finally won 3:1.
Southampton missed a chance to win against Millwall and they are no on fourth place 
Leeds is second with 72 points, same as Ipswich in third place.

Leicester has a hard schedule, in next few days they are playing in FA Cup against Bournemouth, but it will be even harder for Southampton against Liverpool.
This matches could affect them and they could be more tired for league matches in next weekend.

It’s the league cup final: Chelsea vs Liverpool

With a three match winning streak, Chelsea are in high spirits. If Chelsea wins, they will be in the conference league next season. It will be more easier for Chelsea to win the EFL cup, considering the injuries that Liverpool are suffering. Chelsea are at their best when competing against big teams. I’m expecting a high scoring game and a very entertaining match.

[Rruchi man]

I’m expecting a high scoring game and a very entertaining match.

Three goals were scored in the game, two cancelled and left to stand. Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher was very impressive.

Chelsea are at their best when competing against big teams.

It was not the regular Liverpool team that featured, yet Chelsea could not win. Chelsea wasted a lot of chances, Conor Gallagher missing most.

With a three match winning streak, Chelsea are in high spirits. If Chelsea wins, they will be in the conference league next season.

Chelsea make history with this loss again in a final, making them the only team to have lost the opportunity to win a cup in a domestic competition. Pochettino losses a chance to secure his job because I am sure he will be sacked soon failing to a Liverpool team that we did not know the names of some of the players.

Congratulations to Liverpool, this is one trophy they have won which is the Premier League, there is still the chance to win the Europa competition and Premier league to make the exit of the Klopp more historic.

it seems like leicester fans are living a nightmare in these last few games, in the game a few weeks ago leicester played against watford and won but were lucky to have benefited from a draw, it seemed like that was the sign of bad times for the leicester attack. leicester was coming, in the following game against leicester they won without having any difficulties in attack and this time they didn't depend on a draw, but they were playing against one of the worst teams in the table, so the result that leicester managed to obtain makes sense, but in the The following game saw them lose in the 1 half, conceding 2 goals only in the 1 half and in the 2 half, Leicester managed to score 1 goal towards the end of the game, although Leicester managed to obtain 72% possession of the ball, they were unable to score. goals and lost the game

In the next game came another defeat, this time it was against Leeds, in a game in which Leicester were the first to score a goal and they could have had 2 goals early but the referee invalidated it. leeds had a good opportunity which in my opinion the leicester city defense was unfocused and made a mistake which the leicester player took advantage of and scored the equalizer and the funniest thing is that once again the leicester defender made a mistake and leeds scored the second goal and with that Leeds were already winning, once again the Leicester defense came into play and made another mistake which facilitated the third goal for Leeds who celebrated a lot, it seemed like it was a circus in which the Leicester players didn't they knew what they were doing

There are 12 matches left to complete this season EFL championship and Leicester still continues to lead in the standings in pursuit of success in winning the title so they are promoted to the Premier League.
Leeds and Ipswich still have the same points tally with 72 points each, this will make the competition for runners-up even fiercer and of course in every future match they will try to win continuously.
Leeds and Ipswich previously met but Leeds managed to achieve a big win with score of 4 - 0, from this it can also be concluded that Leeds is actually still much better than Ipswich.
Every EFL season can always provide very interesting competition with each top team competing more fiercely to be able to beat each other in terms of points.

But this season is good season for Leicester because they will be in this championship in just one season after being relegated from the Premier League last season, they are guaranteed to be promoted again next season.
But team like Leicester, when competing in the Premier League, was also unable to do much in the competition because they were relegated due to very significant decline in performance over the last 2 seasons of staying there.

Championship Round 35 is starting in Friday with match West Brom vs Coventry.
This should be interesting for both teams that are fighting for their spot in one of four play-off positions for Premier League.
They are in similar form and both teams miss few players, but bookies made West Brom a favorite, maybe because home advantage and h2h history.
Coventry is not without chances here and they will be very motivated after going to FA Cup quarter finals.

My Bet: Both Teams To Score

Leeds vs Stoke
Leeds United hosted Huddersfield last week. It was a fast paced game and Leeds had many chances but ended the first half behind. Leeds then found the goal but couldn't win and so Leeds dropped points after 9 games in the league. The streak is broken. If Leeds United want to go straight to the Premier League, they need to start a winning streak again. They are a team used to winning streaks so it won't be difficult for them to get back on track. Stoke City are at the bottom of the league. However, they beat Middlesbrough in their last league game. Stoke City dominated the game from the start and had many chances throughout the game. As a matter of fact, they won the game. On the one hand a team fighting for the top and on the other a team at the bottom of the league. I think Leeds United, who stand out with their quality squad, will win the match in this tough encounter.

[Slow death]

But this season is good season for Leicester because they will be in this championship in just one season after being relegated from the Premier League last season, they are guaranteed to be promoted again next season.
But team like Leicester, when competing in the Premier League, was also unable to do much in the competition because they were relegated due to very significant decline in performance over the last 2 seasons of staying there.

Leicester was going very well and if they hadn't gotten into a sequence of 3 consecutive defeats, they would be 12 points ahead of the team in second place, but Leicester's latest stumbles make me wonder if this was the end of the stumbles. and the victories returned or if the stumbles were the beginning of their great fall, today they will play against Sunderland AFC which is a team that has performed poorly in the last 5 games, reaching the level of having only had 1 victory in the last 5 games and 4 consecutive defeats, but see how the bookmakers placed the odds:

Sunderland AFC = @4.30
Leicester City FC = @1.72

In other words, the bookmakers are not confident that Leicester is strong enough to beat a team that is in a very bad situation, this shows how Leicester is in decline, I also didn't bet on that game even though I thought the odds were good because I'm still afraid that Leicester will draw or lose the game, that's why I chose not to put Leicester in my multibet bet, in my opinion Leicester runs a high risk of not getting the promotion, if they don't win again in the next games , so Leeds United, Ipswich Town and even Southampton FC will pass Leicencer and Leicester will be in position 4


For today's games I bet on the following games

Ipswich Town - Bristol City

I bet on Ipswich Town to win, they are doing very well in the last 5 games, having achieved 5 consecutive victories, and they are a team with a good attack but I am worried about their defense, most of their victories have not been very easy victories and in in many games they conceded goals. Their opponent, Bristol City, in the last few games has not done well and comes into this game with a sequence of 3 consecutive defeats, looking at the value of the odds encouraged me to put Ipswich in my multibet bet, I hope Ipswich wins this game

Leeds United - Stoke City

I bet on Leeds to win, they did very well in the last 5 games, they had 4 wins and 1 draw, it's true that in the last game Leeds played against a team that wasn't very strong and had a red card and even so Leeds they failed to win the game, something very strange, they had 79% possession of the ball, but only managed to score 1 goal and today they play against a team that is in a similar condition to the previous opponent, I hope that today Leeds can win, the odd seemed good to me and that's why I added leeds to my parlay

[notblox1]

My Bet: Both Teams To Score
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/west-bromwich-albion-v-coventry-city-65d9e5727c9c2400016a3384

Bet won!

Championship Round 36 is played this midweek and he wave seven matches today.
Battle for first two places is more interesting than ever and four teams are still in play for Premier League promotion.
Leeds is playing at home against Stoke, but odds are very low and Stake is team that can always surprise anyone.

Sunderland vs Leicester
This looks like a perfect chance for Leicester to get another important win.
Sunderland is in bad form and they are missing so many players and best striker Clarke today, so I cant see any other outcome other than away win.
Vardy is back for Leicester after injury and it is time for him to score again.

My Bet: Leicester win
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/sunderland-afc-v-leicester-city-65e33e497c9c240001579e48
 
Ipswich vs Bristol City
Surprisingly good odds for Ipswich, maybe because they are missing important midfield players, but I am taking it anyway.
Bristol City is missing few players also and they lost last three matches in Championship.
Ipswich mostly wins first half when they win matches and I think this could happen today, but they need to win today.

My Bet: Ipswich win
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/ipswich-town-v-bristol-city-65e33d957c9c2400018e8d08

My Bet: Leicester win

Bet won!

My Bet: Ipswich win

Bet won!

It was a real drama in last moments of this match.
Al-Hamadi missed a penalty for Ipswich but few minutes later Davis score for final result 3:2
Ipswich remains in second place with only three points less than Leicester, and two points more than Leeds.

Southampton vs Preston match was postponed for safety reasons, and we have four matches left in this round.
I like the odds on Norwich against Middlesbrough, but draw is possible so I think that double chance X2 is the best bet for today.

Cardiff vs Huddersfield
Middlesbrough vs Norwich
Watford vs Swansea
QPR vs West Brom

Leeds made an important win in Round 37 against Sheffield today and they are now back in second place on the table.
Most of the remaining matches are played in Saturday and fight for promotion continues for top teams.
Leicester needs to win again Hull if they want to keep distance from other teams, but this wont be an easy job as Hull lost only one in last nine matches.

Southampton is palying at home against depleted Sunderland and this should be home win, but I dont like such low odds.
Ipswich is traveling to Cardiff and they are hoping to continue race for promotion with another win.

My Bets: Southampton (-1) AH; Leicester (0) AH

^Nice picks so far on Saints. Ipswich didn't get the win I needed for BSFL (it wasn't important, ultimately, but I needed the win anyway). Foxes survived the first half so far, level again but yeah, they'll really need this win to keep up the momentum and I do want to see them back. They can afford to drop 3 points, but it's a long way on this final stretch.

Too much football for me to consume so will likely re-enter Championship into my bets towards the end.

Ipswich lost in such a stupid way in stoppage time but they are still in the race for promotion because Leicester didnt win.
Leeds is currently in the best form in Championship, the didnt lose since December of last year, and they could take first place if they continue like this.
Nince more rounds left in the regular part of the season, than we move to playoffs.

[karabiber]

Birmingham vs Middlesbrough
Birmingham have failed to win their last four league games. Birmingham have been strong in these games, but they are getting closer and closer to the relegation zone because they are not getting enough points. We might see a reaction from Birmingham in this game as they feel the fear of relegation. It's time for them to take risks. Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have won in the last 2 weeks with quality football. Middlesbrough play up tempo football and create many good positions. I think we will watch a lively match with dangerous attacks where both teams will play positive football and I think 3 or more goals will be scored in the match.

[notblox1]

Championship Round 38 is back this weekend and most of the matches are played in Saturday.
Two teams Leicester and Coventry are playing their matches in FA Cup this weekend, so good luck to them.

Ipswich vs Sheffield W
After losing last round in stoppage time Ipswich now needs to win 3 points at Portman Road, no monkey business this time.
Sheffield is not going to surrender and go down so easy, they are winning in last few matches and they are desperate to escape from relegation zone.
I dont like low odds for home win but I dont see any other outcome, but both teams scoring is probably going to happen and it pays better.

My Bets: Ipswich win (-1)AH; Both Teams To Score.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/ipswich-town-v-sheffield-wednesday-65ec30f57c9c240001b4b0a8

Birmingham vs Watford
Awful form and lot of trouble for Birminghan this season, but Watford is not doing better recently with only one win in last 12 matches in all competitions.
H2H is on Watford side, I think they havbe more quality and I am betting against Birmingham again but with safer options.

My Bets: Watford (0)AH; Double Chance X2
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/birmingham-city-v-watford-fc-65ec309c0e460c00018d8d2f

[notblox1]

My Bets: Ipswich win (-1)AH
My Bets: Watford (0)AH; Double Chance X2

Both bets won!
Ipswich demolished Sheffield with six scored goals, someone had to pay price for the way they lost last round against Cardiff.
They now have best attack in Championship with 80 goals scored for Ipswich in 38 matches.
Watford won against Birmingham like I expected, and I hope someone took this bet with amazing odds.

Leeds is now first place in table but Leicester has one match less because of FA Cup, and Ipswich has only one point less.
Championship is now taking a small break for international matches, this is good time for teams to rest some players.
