Wigan

Norwich City will be aiming to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Cardiff City when they welcome Wigan Athletic to their Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon. The Canaries failed to impress in their opener, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels.

Sheffield United

Monday’s football game between Watford and Sheffield United will bring down the curtain on day 1 of the new Championship campaign. Both Watford and United are eyeing a return to the Premier League, but securing a top-two finish is easier said than done given the number of promotion-chasing sides.

Coventry

Newcomers Sunderland will look to impress on their return to the Championship when they welcome Coventry City to their Stadium of Light in the season opener. The Black Cats secured promotion to the English second tier thanks to a 2-0 win over Wycombe, but they will surely find it hard to secure the Championship survival.

Saturday’s football game at Aesseal New York Stadium pits together Rotherham United and Swansea City, the two teams who meet for the first time since January 30, 2021.

Stoke City

Millwall and Stoke City take on each other at the Den in a highly-anticipated Championship opener. The Lions finished the last season in 9th position, just below the playoffs berth, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to secure a top-six finish this time out.

MKM Stadium will host Saturday’s Championship game between Hull City and Bristol City. The Tigers suffered a heavy 3-0 loss to Peterborough in their last warm-up game, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping.
