What to know before betting on English Championship?

With 24 teams playing out a gruelling 46-game schedule, the Championship is known as one of the most competitive and most unpredictable leagues in world football. It is on this basis that the Championship is one of the toughest divisions to escape, as many a team recently relegated from the Premier League has found out over the years. 

With fixtures taking place not only every weekend, but on nearly every Tuesday and Wednesday throughout the season, the Championship has become a hugely popular league amongst sports bettors in the UK. For those looking for football betting tips and predictions, don’t worry, we’ve done the hard work, so you don’t have to. 

Championship Betting Tips by MightyTips Experts

The Championship consists of 24 teams, the top two of which receive automatic promotion to the Premier League. Those finishing between 3rd and 6th compete in the play-offs, whereby knockout matches are played to determine the third and final promoted team. The bottom three are relegated to League One. 

As touched on above, the Championship is one of the toughest divisions in the game, not only for the teams competing in it, but for punters too. The league is naturally unpredictable and thus anything can happen. On the one hand, that makes it something of a minefield for bettors, though on the other, it’s not easy for bookmakers to get it right and accurately set prices, which means that there’s no shortage of opportunities for players to cash in. All in all, a Championship prediction isn’t easy to make.

To ensure that high-quality tips are provided, when making their predictions, our experts consider a plethora of factors, not only simple form, or league positions.

If you want to place a bet but aren’t quite sure which way to go, then fear not. You’ll find EFL Championship match predictions for every round of fixtures, so we’ve got you covered. 

Championship Predictions for this Weekend 

If you’re looking for weekend predictions, then you’ve come to the right place. Prior to every single weekend, we’ll have a list of football betting tips and predictions for the Championship. Our team of dedicated tipsters will provide a variety of tips ahead of any given weekend, accompanied by a few paragraphs detailing their thoughts.

When do we publish EFL Championship tips?

We look to ensure that our English Championship tips go live as soon as the previous round of matches concludes. For example, our weekend predictions are usually released during the week, generally on a Thursday after the mid-week round of games finishes on Wednesday evening. When there is a mid-week round of fixtures, our aim is to have the tips go live on the previous Monday. 

You can check out today’s predictions by scrolling to the top of the page, or by selecting ‘Championship’ from the leagues drop-down menu on the main predictions page. 

Championship score predictions 

Score predictions are common amongst football bettors, especially in the UK. Bagging yourself a correct score winner isn’t easy but can be very lucrative should you get it right. 

Ahead of a match, a bookmaker will list each of the possible scores and assign odds to each. By taking several factors into account, players can then bet on what they think the most likely score will be, or which score-line they think represents the most value for money. 

For Championship matches, our experts provide correct score predictions in addition to a main betting tip to give punters some variety. Lots of players prefer to go for something like a correct score bet over a traditional win/draw/win bet because of potential higher pay out.
