Norwich

Norwich

Oxford United and Norwich City square off against each other at Kassam Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Yellow are eager to impress on their return to the English second tier, but they will have a big fish to fry in the season opener. The club chiefs have signed permanent deals with Peter Kioso, Jack Currie, and Idris El Mizouni in the summer transfer w ... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION

Watford

Watford

Millwall play host to Watford at the Den in the opening match of the new Championship campaign. The Lions failed to impress in warm-up games against Southampton (0-1) and Colchester (0-1) and that is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Macaulay Langstaff, who joined the capital club from Notts ... Read More...

Swansea

Swansea

Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Heerenveen in their last warm-up game, Middlesbrough will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they kick off the new Championship campaign with a home match against Swansea City. The Boro have big ambitions for the 2024/2025 season and new signings Luke Ayling, Aidan Morris, and Delano Burgzorg are surely going to help t ... Read More...

Portsmouth

Portsmouth

Leeds United will be aiming to make a flying start to the new Championship campaign when they host Portsmouth to their Elland Road on Saturday afternoon. The Whites did well to beat Valencia in their last warm-up game and they are seen as hot favourites to win the season opener as well.

Bristol City

Bristol City

MKM Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Hull City and Bristol City. The Tigers were struggling in preseason, with the team losing four games, while drawing two and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Oscar Estupinan, who is expected to help the team improve offensively in ... Read More...

Sunderland

Sunderland

Cardiff City take on Sunderland at their Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Championship encounter. The Bluebirds defeated Bristol Rovers in their last warm-up game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the promotion hopefuls. The likes of El Ghazi, Calum Chambers, Chris Willock, and Wilfried Kanga have joined the club this summer, ... Read More...

Sheffield United

Sheffield United

Deepdale will host Friday’s football game between Preston and Sheffield United, the two teams who meet for the first time since April 2023. Back then Sheffield United crushed Preston 4-1 in the Championship, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. The Lilywhites were having their ups and downs in preseason, but a 2-1 win over Fiorentina is surely fuelling fans with ... Read More...

Blackburn Rovers will look to kickstart the new Championship campaign in style when they take on Derby County on Friday evening.

Leeds United

A spot in the Premier League will be at stake when Leeds United and Southampton square off against each other in the playoffs final at Wembley Stadium. The Whites rolled over Norwich City 4-0 to set up a meeting with Southampton and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in the decider.

West Bromwich

All eyes will be on St. Mary’s Stadium when Southampton and West Bromwich Albion go head to head in the Championship playoffs semis, return leg.
