®️⚽ Rainbet EFL English Championship League 2025/2026

[swogerino]

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?

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

That is out of the question and is going to be 100% true that they will play in Premier League next year.They have been the best team in the English Championship so far and they have also convinced in their goal scoring ability which is one of the best of the league,even in defense they are doing well and as such they will be surely promoted to play in the Premier League next season.

Southampton is an average team which may or may not be directly promoted to the Premier League as their performance has been average while Leeds looks like the team performing the worse from the three relegated teams and I think if I would have big money I would bet on them not being promoted for next season.

Saddest thing when I see top news from Saints on Superbru it's still all about JWP. As I said earlier, over-reliance on a few always bites back eventually and Leicester continue to prove -- on some level at least -- that they've always been a decent unit. I think their return to the summit is a near-given too, but with Vardy surely bowing out and fewer stars left to carry the team, this season needs prudent future planning. They did it before dilly ding, so it's not like there's no template to follow.

Vardy's on 5 btw, mini-renaissance?

I think he is past his prime, but for sure he can still sure score goals  
Iheanacho is currently best goal scorer for Leicester in all competitions.

A lot can change in Championship long season with two teams going directly in Premier League, but play-offs are always interesting for one last EPL place.
Southampton has chance for play-off spots, and they dont have such a bad team but they made a lot of changes from last season, it takes time for all pieces to fit together.
I think they need to fix holes in defense, they conceded more goals from almost all other clubs in Championship, only QPR and Norwich have seen 24 goals in their nets!

Championship Round 14 is starting today with two early interesting matches Leeds vs Huddersfield and Southampton vs Birmingham.
Odds are silly low on both Leeds and Southampton, and I dont think they will win so easily as odds suggest.
All teams are missing couple of players but they all need points today.

Best bet today for me without a doubt is Ipswich vs Plymouth, but I am adding a little spice with first half win for better odds.
Second bet I am taking is Leicester against QPR that is in terrible form right now.

~snip~

Leeds and Southampton each have an advantage over each of their opponents in this match and it is quite surprising that Southampton got two goals in the first half without goal back from Birmingham while Leeds had four goal advantage in the first half without reply from Huddersfield.

From these two matches it is clear that Leeds will find it difficult to beat or end in a draw for Huddersfield because they have to chase four goals or more so it is clear that Leeds will win it.
In fact Southampton still has the opportunity to be chased by Birmingham and could end in a draw or even lose.

The both of em cam through. The foxes are focused, it strikes me that they would be back in the Premier League next season only if they keep up this consistent performance. Thunderbolt from Harry Winks secured them the win to maintain them position at the top of the Championships Standing.

Not that I want to mock Wayne Rooney, but has been a terrible manager, is he any different from Frank Lampard?
They have a terrible defense too, first two goals Southampton scored are due to to defense errors. It seems like they're sleeping on the pitch.
Three lose since his appointment as head coach of Blue Birmingham City. They should face Ipswich next fixture, another win for them I guess and four loses for Wazza?!#

My Bets: Ipswich & Leicester win
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

Both bets won!

Most favorites won their matches in Round 14, and this was not that great start for Wayne Rooney in Birmingham.
He was not happy about VAR and referees after losing the match against Southampton, but this was third defeat in a row for Birmingham City.
We are expecting some big matches in next rounds and Birmingham will have hard test against Ipswich, one of the top teams this season.
Rooney signed up 3 and-a-half year contract but he needs to win some match if he wants to keep his job as Birmingham manager.

Leicester continues to dominate in Championship, they have best attack and best defense in league.
Sheffield finally won their first match this season, but they stil lhave terrible attack with only seven scored goals this season.

Leicester City are making their way to the Premier League without fail. Back to back victories have taken them to a very different level and the team is highly motivated. Since September 2nd against Hull City, they haven't lost a league game. They only lost in the cup against Liverpool but it was an expected defeat. They play against Leeds United and although Leeds also make mistakes from time to time, they continue to improve their game and have moved closer to the top of the league. I can say that Leicester City will add to their winning streak at home in this match.

@karabiber Leicester definitely deserves to be back in the premier league and it was really shocking to see them being relegated but now I’m excited too because they’re playing very well and hopefully they’ll return next season. Also one should not underestimate Leeds as they’re a tricky team and thus I hope Leicester will plan well and not be overconfident when they face them otherwise they’ll risk dropping valuable points.

EFL Championship Round 15 is starting tomorrow with a big match of ex Permier League clubs, Leicester vs Leeds!
Leicester is favorite to win if they want to keep advantage in first place, but both teams have several injured players, and this is a chance for Leeds to come closer.
Home team has best defense and offense in Championship, but Leeds can score and they have good attacking players.
I think that safest bet here is both teams to score, but Leicester is flying right now and they have better H2H record against Leeds.

My Bets: Both Teams To Score; Leicester DNB; Leicester win.

Rest of the matches in Round 15:

Birmingham - Ipswich

 These are my prediction for the matches in Round 15, however in the Match between Leicester City vs Leeds, I agree with you that Leicester are more favorable to win the game cause their performance this season is a top notch and that's why they're currently leading in the table, both teams where previous premier league teams so it's going to be a very tough game, chances of both teams scoring is high and I feel Leicester is high.

Leicester City having complete package at this level with their defense and their attack having impressive combination and not allowing any team to create problems for them currently they are having 5 points difference from the Ipswich which is having one game in hand and these both are comprehensively staying at the top with good difference of points from third spotted Leeds United these things clearly indicating we will have backed them in Premier League in 2024.

Currently, Iheanacho and Dewsbury-Hall both are having good touch and giving their best with Leicester City legend Vardy is also on his way for having his best for them and bring them back into top level with bang they are having 9 matches winning streak after losing against Hull City on 2nd September 2023.

[notblox1]

EFL Championship just go little more interesting after Leicester lost from Leeds at home.
Leeds played smarter and now they are on solid third place in the table.

My main bet for this weekend is Ipswich to win against Birmingham.
I know Rooney is eager to make his first positive result, but Ipswich is on fire and they want to get back with a win after they lost from Fulham in EFL cup few days ago.
I think that Middlesbrough ands Southampton will also win their matches, but I am not totally excluding draw in their matches, maybe some asian handicap would be a good idea.

My Bets: Ipswich win; Southampton (0) AH; Middlesbrough win.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/soccer/england/championship/matches

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.

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.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/rotherham-united-v-ipswich-town-6546668a12740800012bc2c5

[notblox1]

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.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/blackburn-rovers-v-preston-north-end-654665f41274080001b2ee2c

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.

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.

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
