Plymouth

Plymouth

Sheffield Wednesday will look to make a flying start to their Championship campaign when they take on Plymouth on Sunday afternoon. The Owls played out a goalless draw with Leganes in their last warm-up game, but they are seen as favourites to beat the Pilgrims in front of home fans. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Olaf Kobacki, who is widely ... Read More...

Coventry

Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Bet365 Stadium when Stoke City and Coventry City lock horns in the opening match of the new Championship campaign. The Potters were having their ups and downs in preseason, with the team beating both Crewe and Bolton, while losing to AZ Alkmaar and Stockport County.

West Bromwich

West Bromwich

Queens Park Rangers and WBA square off against each other at Loftus Road in the opening match of the season. The Hoops aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in preseason, but they face a tough challenge against the Baggies. New signings Zan Celar and Jonathan Varane are likely to make their Queens Park debut against WBA.

Oxford United and Norwich City square off against each other at Kassam Stadium in a highly-anticipated Championship game.

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...

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.

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.

Cardiff City take on Sunderland at their Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Championship encounter.

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.
