Big news update in Championship, while clubs are on break because national team play their matches.

Wayne Rooney just signed a contract with Birmingham City as their new manager, and his goal is promotion to Premier League!
Rooney was a legendary player, and as manager he was in charge of Derby County from 2020 to 2022 and after that he had a short expedition with US club D.C. United.
Birmingham is currently in 6th place in Championship, they have great home record this season, and dream of Premier League is possible for them.
First test for Ronney is not going to be easy, as Birmingham plays against Middlesbrough next Saturday.

EFL Championship is finally coming back after break for international matches, and first match of Round 12 is played this Friday.

Rotherham vs Ipswich
This is safest bet this week in Championship and Ipswich is clear favorite to win this match.
Odds are not great on them, but Rotherham is a mess this season and I dont see how they can do anything to prevent defeat.
Rotherham have better H2H record but situation is much different this time and Ipswich already won against them in FA cup this year.
If you want better odds it is not a bad idea to go with Ipswich win first half, they usually win matches like this.
 
My Bets: Ipswich win; Ipswich win 1st half; Ipswich (-1) handicap.

There was a big storm in Rotherham so the match against Ipswich was sadly postponed, and this was my main bet for today in Championship

Nothing to worry about, we have more matches scheduled for this weekend
Southampton is playing important match against Hull City, and they need to win this one if they want to go back in Premier League next season.
H2H is on Southampton side, and they are slight favorite to win, but it is not going to be easy win.
Draw is possible so I think safest bet is asian handicap on Southampton, with Armstrong scoring one or two goals.

My Bets: Southampton (0) AH; X2 double chance.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/hull-city-v-southampton-fc-652168191274080001ed11d3

Stoke vs Sunderland
I cant believe odds I see on Sunderland and I am gladly taking that as double chance.
Sunderland is much better team this season and both teams are missing many players, but Stoke will be affected more by this.
Clarke will be in Sunderland squad and he is one of the best goal scorers in league.
For people who want risky bet on underdog Sunderland win pays very nice.

My Bets: X2 double chance, Sunderland (0) AH.

What do you think about Hull City's new transfer Jaden Philogene? I know there have been nearly 2 months since he joined the team but it can still be considered as new. Anyway he is said to be quite talented at the age of 21 now. To be honest I have been also impressed by his effort so far.

The owner of Hull City Acun Ilıcalı feels himself really lucky about bringing him to the team. He also believes that he is a really promising talent. He came here from Aston Villa for only 6 million euros. But if he impresses people much more in time then maybe we can see him being signed by a much bigger team with a really solid profit.

Leicester City continue to dominate the league, with 11 wins in their last 12 matches, Leicester are currently leading with 33 points. Lanchester, who suffered their only defeat to Acun Ilıcalı's team Hull City, will most likely be promoted back to the Premier League as leaders. In addition to Leicester, Ipswich Town are also doing very well, with nine wins in 11 games and Ipswich in second place.

It is good that Leicester didn't lose the power like Leeds did when coming in the Championship as they for me were the only team not deserving relegation compared to the three teams that were relegated last season from the Premier League.I guess since they are doing this well it means that most likely most of the players when relegated opted to stay with them and hence these results so far.I think that there are about 46 games here about 10 more than in the Premier League and the depth of the squad is extremely needed in order to do well,I think one team that is sure to be directly promoted next season in the Premier League is exactly Leicester.

As you say, we have seen with these results that there are great benefits for teams to keep the same squad when they are relegated. The reason why Leicester's players didn't leave the team was because they saw in themselves the strength to go up again. They will probably dominate the rest of the league and they will go back to the Premier League as leaders. I think they were one of the teams that didn't deserve to be relegated last season but things didn't work out for them and they had to be relegated. They will play more games than in the Premier League so they are likely to add to their squad in the transfer window.

Leicester City has the most amount of points right now. They are also at the top of the table. They are ahead by quite some points and that is going to be hard for any other team to decrease. Right now they are five points ahead of the team that is in the second position. I am quite hopeful that they are going to get promoted this season. But for that, obviously, they will have to perform consistently like this. In the 12 matches that they have played, they have 11 wins and one loss. That is a great record for them so far. Looking at this performance, we can easily say that if they can perform like this throughout the season, they will definitely deserve to get promoted.

Leicester City has proven that they're not in anyway happy to be playing in the second division of English club football and has been absolutely impressive since the start of the season. The foxes having won 11 of the 12 matches they've played this season is currently on 33 points and 5 points ahead of 2nd placed Ipswich Town thought Ipswich has a game at hand. From what I've seen so far, I'll be very surprised not to see Leicester back to the English Premier League next season.

I dont know much about him, but I know that Hull City is not better than Southampton
My biggest positive surprise this season is Ipswich, they played amazing so far and they will be more rested for next match because last one was postponed because of the storm.

Guys dont forget that new Championship round 13 is starting tomorrow, in the same time as Champions League, and six matches are played tomorrow.
Leicester should win against Sunderland that didnt play good last round against Stoke City.
Clearly best bet in this round for me is Ipswich to win against Bristol City, but coach Nigel Pearson is unbeaten in all personal H2Hs against Ipswich.
This season Ipswich is a different team and I cant see them losing this match, but draw is not totally excluded.

All matches in Round 13 are available on Sportsbet:

I have the same idea as you. I'm following Hull City closely. Because Hull City's owner is a famous Turkish broadcaster and this increases the interest in the team in Turkey. They haven't been doing bad at all this season so far. I'm following especially the old Fenerbahçe player Ozan Tufan's performance closely. Southampton's place is already the Premier League. I hope that they come back to where they deserve in a short time.

This is interesting to know about Hull City and I never heard about this before, but it can be very useful information for rest of the season.

I would love to see Southampton with Sportsbet back in Premier league next season, but this is not guaranteed, Championship competition is better than ever and season is very long.
If everything stay the same like it is now, and I am sure it wont, Southampton will play only in play-offs with three other teams.

[execijutiere]

Today Leicester City will host Sunderland. Leicester City will be looking for their 12th win in the league. I think it will be an entertaining and goal-scoring encounter because both teams have no problem scoring goals. I think that Leicester City will be the side to get the three points, even if it will be difficult.
Norwich City will host an in-form Middlesbrough side who are winless in the first seven weeks but have won five in a row in the last five weeks. To be honest, it's hard to predict exactly who will win this game, but I think both teams will be able to score goals in this encounter. The away team will want to continue their winning streak, while the hosts will want to end their three-week winless run.

[notblox1]

Another win for Leicester against Sunderland and they are making solid distance on top from all other clubs, they really want to come back in Premier League next season.
Ipswich is another team I really like this season and they can catch up if they win today against Bristol City, they are well rested I think they will win.
Leeds is favorite against Stoke but Stoke is very unpredictable team and I dont like betting on matches with them.

Southampon have important game against Preston today and they need to win if they want to return to Premier League.
This is perfect time to beat Preston who is not in good form and they didnt win in last five matches.
I think both teams can score today but Southampon should win the match.

My Bets: Southampton & Ipswich win

With so many games all over Europe already in my tickets, I thought I didn't want to add more on there exclusively, instead better to pick a few Championship maybes, right?

So HT live bet on Boro again (I'm refusing to believe their recent good results are a fluke), at over 2/1 I felt was great value given that Sunderland got a man sent off, and they proved me right scoring two soon after restart. Balanced that out with a boring Ipswich win at rather poor value (15/10), so I hope it all works out.

Leicester and Ipswich want daylight between them and playoff spots, so I think a win is "safe". Good luck!

This has been on of the most difficult league to predict as the patterns here isn't regular enough to give a good determining edge, so called big teams loose to small team and in some cases draw and when they manage to win the margin is often small, a case where you predict a three goals for big team against a small team and sadly the match ends with just two or even less goals.

For the mean time I have avoided adding teams in the championship to my bet slips till the championship get to it's mid point where some teams strength could be well determined,this is just my take tho, but for those betting on the championship Good luck.

Stake campaign manager are you seeing the stuff your people are embarrassing the forum with?

This has been on of the most difficult league to predict recently as the patterns here isn't regular enough to give a good determining edge, so called big teams loose to small team and in some cases draw and went they manage to win the margin I often small, a case where you predict a 2.5 for big team against a small team and sadly the match ends with just two or even less goals.

Recently? Where've you been the entire history of Championship haha. Look at the odds markets for any given round and you'll find it's rare to see odds bigger than 5/1 on any team, any game week. Been like that for years (but also why I like the 5/1 teams). Compare that to the Prem where you regularly see 15/1 odds on decent teams (Sheffield is 21/1 next vs Arsenal).

It's not a recent phenomenon...

maybe by then some of them might have crashed out of the bigger leagues and will be willing to fave the championship well enough to see if they can achieve something with it

What do you mean by this? You don't crash out of a bigger league mid-season. Sorry but you quoted me. Explain your nonsense or stop posting spam.

Sorry, the statement about teams crashing out of major leagues was an oversight and a mistake from my end.

As to the point where I said recently, I wasn't referring to the entire history of the championship as I jus started following up the championship recently and still trying to get conversant with the championship, that has been my personal experience trying to predict the championship, that was what I meant while stating that.

My sincere apologies, I didn't intend to spam you, subsequently I will make sure to make my findings properly and make sure my statements are clear with no misinformation..... please do accept my sincere apologies

I dont think they care about that at all

Championship Round 13 completed and I am happy with my results.
I placed combo bet on Sportsbet for Ipswich winning first half and Leicester to win against Sunderland, that produced nice return for me
It sucks that Evans score own goal for Southampton in stoppage time, he just gave free point to Preston  

Leicester is firmly holding the first place and they have best attack with 27 goals, and by far best defense in league with only 7 conceded goals.
Ipswich is not far behind them and they have one match less, than there is a big gap with other teams.
Clarke from Sunderland is currently best goal scorer in league with 8 goals scored.
No time for rest, next round is scheduled for this weekend, starting Saturday.

I saw the scoreline for Saints, didn't read the match report. Must be a real pain for them -- I honestly expected them to have a far easier time than Leicester but they seem to be stuck in some kind of funk along with Leeds. Ipswich won't hold the return-to-mean barrier, so I wouln't worry about them, but the boys in white and red are going to have to knucle down to take proper advantage of like when Leeds slip.

Vardy's on 5 btw, mini-renaissance?

Eyes set on the game between Southampton and Birmingham City. Wazza ( Wayne Rooney ) hasn't been a good manager over the clubs he's been. Even with appointments of former teammate and and england international team mate ( O Shea and Chelsea ex player Ashley Cole ) Birmingham City has been the same defensively. That would take time though.

But I would love him to focus on his managing career and stop getting involved in cases that has nothing to do with his growth and management.
Two games from this game, Birmingham City occupied ⁶th Position on the table, no with double lose, they've found themselves down to ¹² Position on the Championship standing!

Southampton though have shown eagerness to return to the Premier League. Last season I predicted they would be possibly relegated of they don't improve and now here they be! I'd love them back, but that's on em!

Unlike Leicester who were also relegated from the English Premier League last season, Leicester have been poor with their performances in the EFL championship this season as they're already trailing league leaders Leicester by 15 points after just 13 league matches. Leicester has been the best of not just the three clubs that was relegated last season but all the club's in the second division of English club football. With Leicester's current form, I think they're gonna surely play in the English Premier League next season
