After last season, there are even more popular teams in the Championship, and therefore the focus will be on him more than usual. Let’s try to find out who is the favorite of this championship and which clubs can get to the Premier League after the draw results.
The best predictions for today.
Leicester could become a midfielder
The experts prefer Leicester to win the Championship. You can bet with a coefficient of 6.00. However, we believe that this choice is incorrect. “Foxes” can sink.
Leicester sold two leaders and lost the third for free. We talk about Harvey Barnes, James Maddison and Uri Tielemans. Without them, the attack of the “foxes”, even with Jamie Vardy, no longer looks so impressive. But the favorite still does not have amplification in this line, and the big question is whether he will have it at all.
Negotiations between Lazio and Dynamo over Zakharyan may break down.
Thus, the blues lost their main asset and all those who could make a difference in the games. The bet for the new coach Enzo Marescu seems very doubtful. The Italian failed in his only coaching experience at Parma, and the fact that he spent time in Guardiola’s squad at Manchester City does not make him a genius.
Leeds and Southampton are favorites
Leicester is followed by two other teams that have been relegated from the Premier League. You can bet on the victory of Leeds with a coefficient of 8.00, and Southampton with 9.00. “Peacocks” need to be looked at especially carefully. This is one of those teams whose chances of promotion are the most reasonable and real.
By appointing Daniel Farke as manager, Leeds caught their luck by the tail. The specialist is familiar with the Championship and has repeatedly achieved success in it, twice leading Norwich to the Premier League. The Peacocks have borrowed a lot of point guards, they lost Rodrigo, but they have talented youngsters. Thanks to his effort and experience, he can show a good result in the Championship.
Ronaldo and Messi entered the top 3 of the highest paid bloggers on the planet.
Southampton removed promising young manager Russell Martin from Swansea, but received very little transfer money. The Saints once again step on the same rake that left them out of the Premier League, instead of players who will benefit here and now, they bet on young people. It’s good that at least by Championship standards they already have a strong squad.
Who else?
Coventry and Sunderland jumped on their heads last season. His chances of winning the Championship were rated at 20.0. The former’s coach, Mark Robins, lost several players from the main team, including Victor Gyokeres. It will be impossible to replace the Swede and his impact on Coventry’s game has been enormous.
Sunderland also had to say goodbye to some leaders who were on loan. The management found money to strengthen itself, but the club will not even be able to repeat the result of last season. This year the competition will be tougher, and the “black cats” have very little room to progress. And the traumatic nature of some leaders is embarrassing.
The RFU will consider the work of the judges in the scandalous match “Akhmat” – CSKA.
Middlesbrough is trading higher – you can bet on their Championship win at odds of 11.0. At the end of last season it became clear that the ‘Rivermen’ football reached the core and they learned to adapt to it. In addition, in the summer, the team lost several outstanding players who provided powerful attack. And the reinforcement still seems doubtful.
So Leicester or Leeds?
Leeds have the best chance of winning the Championship. The team managed to keep the spine, guessed very well with the new coach, and many players returned from the lease, who are suitable for the second most powerful championship in England. Farke has better reserves at his disposal than he had at Norwich.
