[notblox1]

EFL Championship Round 5 is starting tomorrow and all matches are played in Saturday.

Sunderland vs Southampton
Southampton is playing important match against Sunderland but it is not going to be easy to win in Stadium of Light.
Armstrong is currently best goal scorer in Championship and he has good chance to continue scoring goals against Sunderland.
Odd on away win is amazing but I wont exclude draw as final result and I think X2 is good safer option.
My Bets: X2 double chance.

Rotherham vs Norwich
This is my main bet in this round, and Norwich win is reasonable outcome for me.
H2H matches are on Norwich side and they have much better team in all positions, and they have great attacking duo Sargent and Rowe.
They are sure to score against worst defense in league and I am expecting minimum 2 or 3 goals and win in first half.
My Bets: Norwich win; Norwich (-1) AH; Norwich win 1st half.

Leicester vs Hull
This is clear home win for me but Hull performed good so far and they have Tufan ready to score.
I think we can see both team scoring and lots of goals cored, but safest betting option for me is home win.
Leicester attackers Iheanacho and Vardy didnt start working with full power and when that happens we can see results like 4:0 or 5:0.
My Bets: Leicester  win

I went for Sunderland in my prediction. Not because I think Saints are shit, I just think they're bound to lose away and the Black Cats are formidable at home. I know this is easier to say now they got the lead, but it's a nice early opener for Saturday football.

Here's my rare all-favourites acca (Boro come on):

[karabiber]

W. Bromwich - Huddersfield
West Bromwich have managed to collect seven points in four league games with a modest squad. After last year's inconsistent performance, this year at least they have become a team with more reasonable results. As for Huddersfield Town, i think the danger bells are ringing in the first weeks of the season. Their performances have been poor, their defense has been non existent and they've been a little bit hampered by a difficult fixture. I see West Brom ahead in this match they are close to three points.

Very good call going on Sunderland!
I didnt expect they would win so easy with five goals, but all other results today in Championship are totally crazy.
Both Leicester and Norwich lost their matches, and Preston has surprisingly taken over the first place in table.
One of the biggest disappointment for me so far is Middlesbrough last place in tbale with only one point from five matches.

[notblox1]

Championship Round 6 is starting this weekend and two matches are scheduled for tomorrow, and one of them is big match between two ex Premier League clubs.
There are plenty of interesting games this round, and I hope little international break helped some teams and players.
Preston is holding the first place and they are one of two teams without lost match this season, second club is Birmingham.

Southampton- Leicester
Home team and fans are waiting for hard match at St. Mary Stadium, and Southampton needs to bounce back after shameful 5:0 defeat from Sunderland.
Last season both of this teams played in Premier League and Southampton won both matches, but it was totally different teams back them.
Southampton currently has worst defense in league with 12 conceded goals and Leicester has the power to score goals, so I am expecting both teams to score tomorrow.
Armstrong from Southampton is currently one of the best goals scorers in league and his teams needs him to perform against Leicester.
I am giving slight advantage to Leicester, but anything can happen in this match so safest option is to be on goals.
 
My Bet: Both Teams To Score
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/southampton-fc-v-leicester-city-64f353ea12740800015462e6

Hull- Coventry
Hull started this season very well, they lost only one match so far, and last season they had better results in H2H matches.
I like the odds on home him but I am taking safer option of double chance, with decent odds.
For anyone who want to risk more you can try asian handicap or straight home win.

My Bet: 1X double chance; Hull (0) AH.

Southampton- Leicester
My Bet: Both Teams To Score

Hull- Coventry
My Bet: 1X double chance; Hull (0) AH.

Both Bets won!

I am sad to see Southampton losing with so many goals against Leicester, but good thing that my bet won and both teams score.
There is no time for crying, new match against Ipswich is waiting Southampton in Tuesday.
Hull saved the day few minutes before end with Connolly scoring a goal.
They had more chances and they deserved to score more than once, but they remain in 5th place in table with one point.

More interesting matches coming tomorrow and they are not easy to predict.
Norwich should win against Stoke but I am not sure what happened with them last round so I am waiting to see results this week.
Preston is probably going to win against Plymouth but their best striker Will Keane is injured so I am not going to risk it.

Sheffield Wednesday - Ipswich
Ipswich is in great form, they started this season with four wins and only one defeat, and they have good chances to continue with another win.
Sheffield is on the bottom just above Middlesbrough, and they scored only four goals this season.
I am backing Ipswich to win while they are hot.

My Bet: Ipswich win.

Good luck everyone!

Someone said something about Leicester, that if they don't win the championship and get back to the EPL that it will be a shame, and I was like... Are you serious about a team that nobody knows when they're in form or not? Today they'll win the next 3 fixtures they'll lose.
But at some point I decided to watch this team play and I noticed they have changed completely, at least to me. I never saw them (Leicester) play with so much speed especially today, against a team that traveled with them to the championship.
Southampton played like they don't have hope of coming back from relegation was expecting that fixture to end in a draw because we're talking about two teams who knows themselves very well. But it wasn't what I was expecting to see after the away team started dropping goals making clean passes and was just shocked at what I saw.
Kudos to Leicester and I hope they return to the EPL.

Judging by Leicester City's performance in the EFL Championship since the start of the season, I'll be very surprised not to see them win the championship and be promoted back to the English Premier League next season. A club that's picked up 15 points from a possible 18 points by winning 5 games out of the the first 6 league games of the season has shown intense hunger to return to the English Premier League and that I think they're gonna achieve by the end of the season.
Their opponents in today's game Southampton has not been impressive like a team that was just relegated to the championship last season and has the hunger to make it back to the top flight. Their performance today at home against Leicester City was poor and I'll be surprised to see them in the English Premier League next season if they continue with such performance.

[buwaytress]

Looks like notblox1 is on a mini-run of success? I've been saving myself money staying away, not sure why I'm stubborn for Boro but they are not doing well at all -- maybe good timing if I enter later in the season huh?

PNE top of the table, whaaat? Remember me and them last season? Oh and Warnock out. That was shortlived...

@Docnaster you don't see any of my messages? =)

Leicester City left one points from Preston on EFL English Championship League season 2023/2024 and looks are promising with return back or promotion to Premier League next season. Southampton is not difficult opponent team for Leicester City and success won 1-4, talking about Leicester City chance back to Premier League are large opening, but depend with consistency performance will continue until second half season because EFL English Championship League have 46 matches and Leicester City need consistency on the top level games plays until end season, difference with Premier League with 38 matches only in one season and not difficult for team how to manage their player not get injury.

Very good run for me and I hope this continues in BSFL last round for both of us, I want to play against you next season, and we can force cro2 team to add more Championship questions

Easy win for Leeds today against Millwall and Round 6 is now complete.
Preston remains in first place with only one draw, maybe thanks to Keane, and they have one of the best defense in league that conceded only four goals in six games so far.
Leicester  and Ipswich are just behind them with one point less, but Norwich in 4th place has the best attack with 15 scored goals in six matches.
Hardie from Plymouth is best goal scorer with five goals, but Armstrong, Keane and few other players are just behind him with 4 scored goals.

I am reminding everyone that next Round 7 in staring in Tuesday so expect to see predictions probably posted in Monday or Tuesday.
Interesting matches are ahead of us.

[notblox1]

EFL Championship Round 7 is starting tomorrow with six matches and another six matches are played day after that.
This will be a big test for Southampton against Ipswich who is in very good form, and anything can happen in this match.
I expect both teams to score and Ipswich to try and fight for first place in table.
Preston needs to do the same thing against Birmingham and all pressure will than be on Leicester.
Best Preston goal scorer Keane is injured for this match so Birmingham is not without chances and they have a decent team this season.

Southampton - Ipswich
Preston - Birmingham
Bristol City - Plymouth
Queens Park Rangers - Swansea
Cardiff - Coventry
Sheffield Wednesday - Middlesbrough

Preston North End won again. They got 6 wins in 7 matches. Even though they fell behind in the Birmingham match, they didn't get stuck and managed to turn the match around. Their performances this season are truly astonishing. I didn't expect them to start this well. I wonder if they can keep this up until the end of the season and get into the Premier League.

Preston is on amazing good run so I am taking them in next rounds until they stop winning, and I am thinking of doing the same thing for Ipswich.

Six more matches scheduled for today and I am really interested to see how will Norwich play against Leicester.
Both teams have big ambitions in this season and they have promotion in Premier League as a main target.
I would give small advantage to Leicester but I expect to see goals in this match and both teams scoring, this is the safest bet in my opinion.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score

When I take a look at the battles that will start in about 1 hour, I see that there are some good matches. There will be 2 matches that I am curious about the outcome of. The first one is Hull City vs Leeds United and the second one is Norwich vs Leicester City which everyone is waiting for. I expect to see more goals and more goal positions in the Hull-Leeds game than in the other game: maybe I'm wrong, but for some reason I think there will be more goals in this game. Because everyone is waiting for the Norwich-Leicester game, it's possible that this game will be unpleasant.

[notblox1]

EFL Championship Round 8 is starting tomorrow with one match between Birmingham and QPR.
This is tricky match to predict but bookmakers gave much bigger chances for home team to win.
Birmingham won both times last season but none of them impressed me this year.
I am staying away from betting on this match, but I notice other interesting matches in Saturday and Sunday.

Birmingham - Queens Park Rangers
Ipswich - Blackburn
Leeds - Watford
Leicester - Bristol City
Middlesbrough - Southampton
Plymouth - Norwich
Rotherham vs Preston
Swansea - Sheffield Wednesday
West Bromwich Albion - Millwall
Stoke - Hull
Sunderland - Cardiff

Do you have any good betting predictions?

[notblox1]

Ipswich is kicking some ass this season! Their new victim is Blackburn with 4:3 result, and they now have same points like first placed Leicester City 
This is even more amazing if you know that last season they played in lower league, now they are one of the best scoring teams in CHampionship.
Preston got just a draw against Rotherham but they dominated the game and goalkeeper saved the day for Rotherham.

Two more matches are played tomorrow, one in Monday, and I am looking to bet on one underdog in Stoke vs Hull match.
Home team is going to miss several good players for this match, but they have advantage of better results in previous H2H matches with Hull City.
Hull is in much better form and I think they can avoid defeat this time.
My Bets: X2 double chance; Hull (0) AH.

Ah, throwback to last season when PNE were bottom half, flirting with relegation but actually for a really long time held the most clean sheets and best defence.

Of course, they needed goals to turn draws into wins and it does seem they've gone on and done just that,huh?

Borough leading in EFL trophy.... some glimmer in a suit season so far.

I am not impressed with them so far, but Bradford is much worse
Look at Ipswich, another win in EFL Carabao Cup against Wolves!
This guys are not joking this season, and I think they have serious financial backing to get back in Premier Legue next season.

It was bravery, exceptional and very excellent win for Ipswich who has booked their win against premier league side Wolves and got a deserved home win and now qualify to the next round of the Carabao cup; This is the beauty of the English League!!!!! More upsets to come definitely.
