Table Toppers West Brom Fancied to Win at Boro

The Championship returns this weekend and on Saturday afternoon the current league leaders West Brom will head to Middlesbrough hoping to keep their place at the top. The Baggies have played very well so far, and actually they have only lost one of their 11 games so far this season. They lost out in the playoffs last season and have done well to bounce back, another bid for promotion looks likely once more.

Sheffield Wednesday and Cardiff Set to Play Out Entertaining Draw

Club football returns this weekend and the English Championship kicks back off on Friday night with a game in Wales. Cardiff host Sheffield Wednesday on the returning night, and this has the makings of being a good game. Both teams have started well, and in the case on Wednesday they have started better than people were expecting them to.

Going into the games this weekend, Sheffield Wednesday are up in 8th position, just one point off the playoffs while Cardiff are just below them in 11th,

Bohemians Look a Solid Bet to Pick Up Home Win

Fulham Fancied to Comfortably Beat Wigan on Friday Night

We have two games in the Championship on Friday night and as far as betting goes, the one to be concentrating on is certainly Fulham against Wigan. This is a game that the home side really should be winning, they look to be a class above compared to Wigan based on what we have seen so far, and we fancy them to record a comfortable victory.

In terms of recent form, both teams come into this game with similar records,

Derby Take On Cardiff In Friday Night Football

Championship football is set to return this weekend as we put the international break to one side and focus on the domestic game once again. The division has been consistently referred to as the most exciting second tier in world football, and it’s kind of hard to argue with that. There are so many sides that have a chance of making a push for promotion to the top flight of the English game, but reaching the Premier League is easier said than done.

Fulham Offer Value Away at Cardiff in Championship

Fulham head to Cardiff on Friday night for a game that puts together two clubs who were relegated from the Premier League last season. I don’t think either team will be upset with how they have started, but it is fair to say we have only really seen glimpses from them, there is a lot more to come, especially in the case of Fulham. The Cottagers have managed to keep together most of their squad from last season,

Should big clubs be playing much smaller clubs in their pre-season friendlies?

Fulham to Come Out on Top in All-London Clash

Of the three teams that were relegated from the Premier League to the Championship last season, Fulham were the ones who were expected to mount the best challenge for a quick return. An away trip to former League One side Barnsley on the opening day was an awakening to The Cottagers of just how tough this league is but since then they have performed very well and appear to be finding their feet in this division now.

Huddersfield and Fulham Set for Championship Stalemate

Two clubs relegated from the Premier League last season, Huddersfield and Fulham, take each other on this Friday night at the John Smith’s Stadium. Both teams will be desperate to get points on the board early as they look to adjust to life in the second tier but things have not gone to plan so far.

Huddersfield are yet to pick up a win from their first two games with a home defeat to Derby and a draw away at QPR last weekend.

Huddersfield Take On Derby In Championship Clash

The Championship is back in our lives, with a series of entertaining games kicking off what can only be described as a really unpredictable season that we have ahead of ourselves. That tends to be the case in English football’s second tier more often than not, but here, it seems to be particularly evident. There are so many teams that will be attempting to force their way into the top six discussion, and as you can probably tell,

Bristol City Tackle Leeds In Championship Opener

The Championship is back and after Luton & Middlesbrough put on a show for the world to see last night, it’s time to find out what the other 22 teams in the division are going to bring to the table. Two such examples are Bristol City and Leeds United, both clubs that have a lot of history on their side – and a great deal of disappointment, too. With both finishing in the top eight yet failing to make it to the playoff final,

Nottingham Forest & West Brom Aim For Strong Start

The Championship season is set to get underway tonight, but beyond that, we’re already interested in what is going to happen tomorrow as the majority of clubs kick things off with a good old fashioned Saturday afternoon encounter. Two such teams that fall into such a category are Nottingham Forest and West Bromwich Albion. While nobody knows for sure what to expect from all 24 teams at this stage, we think it’s safe to say that both Forest and West Brom are going to be in the mix by the time we get around to the final few months of the season.

Luton Fancied to get off to Perfect Championship Start

The Championship season is back and on Friday night, newcomers Luton will play their first game against Middlesbrough. This is the start of a new era for Boro, with Jonathan Woodgate taking charge of the team in what is his first steps into management. Luton will still be on a high after winning League One last season, and they look more than capable of getting off to a good start.

If you look at these two teams,

A Season Of Success For English Football

The UEFA Champions League final last night brought the curtain down on the domestic football season in Europe, as fans look ahead to two months of international football in order to fill the void. Of course, it’s going to take a while for some to come down off of the incredible high that was the season that has just been, especially in the realms of the English game. Teams up and down both the Premier League and the Football League were able to produce some incredible moments and performances,
