Championship Predictions by FootballPredictions.com

When talking about the ultimate second-tier leagues in Europe, there is one that automatically comes to mind – the English Championship. Nowhere else in the world are you to find fans as devoted and religious to their clubs as those from the English second-best football competition. It was founded way back in 1892 by the name of Division Two. Later on it was renamed into Division One and subsequently the Championship as it is called today. As extensive as it gets, the Championship consists of 24 teams – 23 from England and 1 from Wales.

The season runs annually from August to the following May, and each side faces the other on two occasions, once as hosts and once as visitors, resulting in each team engaging in excruciating 46 outings in total. The first two teams topping the ladder gain automatic promotion into the Premier League, while the four teams below them compete in order to try and secure the third and the final promotional slot. Football League One represents the final destination for the bottom three sides after the season ends. The Championship is the third most popular league in Europe by attendance, beating out both Serie A and Primera Division and is broadcasted in most sections of the world.

Championship Tips, Predictions and Betting advice

Having a loyal and passionate fan base can be a huge factor in football, and the Championship is no exception. Playing in front of the home fans has proven to be a big influence on the way that the teams perform and should be something to consider when placing your bets. After the best teams have found their way into the higher division, the club strength appears to be equally arranged and spread through the league at the beginning of the season making the Championship a tightly contested competition without a clear favourite until a certain number of matches is played.

The Championship is around the corner

The most prominent players from clubs all over the league will usually earn their own personal promotion into the clubs from the Premier League or worldwide competitions of a higher rank, which heavily influences the odds and creates great chances for those with the right betting tips. Insider in-advance information on new prospects will get the best potential and bring the most value, making the optimal Championship predictions become whole lot easier. Placing wagers on clubs that have managed to keep the structure of their squad intact is a solid choice in the early stages. Generally speaking, teams with prior Premier League experience tend to do better overall. The Championship is known for its physical and defence-oriented style which makes betting on the number of cards and goals an excellent prospect.

Our Team of Championship Experts

In no other league in the world does information matter as much as it does in the Championship. With that in mind, we have brought together a team of proficient writers, analysts, and local punters in order to find the best wagers in which we can all enjoy and profit from.

We base our betting tips on local, insider information and accurate and reliable data. Over the years, we have had great success in delivering an overall excellent experience to our readers while following the same principles and football predictions that we apply ourselves.
