Championship Weekend Betting Preview Part 2

Leicester are favoured to get the better of Watford in their clash on Friday and they are getting hit late by the punters with bookmakers trimming them into 11/10. Watford are available at a 12/5 listing and the draw is priced identically. This fixture is likely to be all about who scores the early goal.

Hull really just need one more victory to secure 2nd place and another trip back to the Premier League. They are playing relegation candidates Barnsley who are also in dire need of three points. Barnsley are at home for this one and will have the fans in full voice the entire time.

However, their 21/10 price shows that the bookmakers don’t have a huge amount of confidence - especially when you see Hull trading at a competitive 7/5 listing. Look for the draw at 21/10 - but that’s not going to help either team get what they want. 

Brighton are also in the hunt for a play-off place and they face mid-table Leeds who have literally nothing to play for at this point. Brighton are lukewarm favourites for this one with a 13/10 price tag against Leeds’ 11/5.

The other main play-off candidate Crystal Palace are favourites to topple Blackburn at 8/5 against 15/8. Blackburn are mathematically safe, but are definitely down at the wrong end of the table. Some serious questions need to be asked of their management as their Championship sojourn has not gone according to plan at all. 

In regards to the outright race for relegation, Bristol City are already effectively relegated at 41 points with two sides sitting in the next two places on 51 - Wolves and Barnsley. Peterborough also sit on 51 points but are one place out of the relegation spot thanks to a superior goal difference.
