Championship Betting

One of the greatest testaments to the high quality of English football is the EFL Championship division. Like the 2. Bundesliga betting, few football nations can boast such a high level of football outside the highest division.

A lot of excitement takes place on the field for the players representing their clubs. It has become one of the first choice markets for online bettors.

A challenging and popular league

The online betting schedule on this league is much busier than other European divisions. EFL Championship teams have to play a total of 46 games during the season.

Attracting weekly crowds of over 30,000 fans is the norm. This is one of the highest numbers - more than most teams in the elite divisions in Europe and it is a defining example of the immense popularity and quality of English football.

Betting on the long term

The top teams in the EFL Championship battle every week to give their clubs a chance to win promotion to football's elite - the Premier League.

For the teams that don't quite reach the automatic promotion places, there is an exciting battle for a place in the play-offs that takes place at the end of the season. Not surprisingly, teams often fight for one of these slots right up to the very last game of the season.

At the other end of the table, teams finishing 22nd through 24th are relegated to the third tier, known as League One. In recent years, some big names have faced this harsh reality showing how tough the league is.

Recommended betting on the EFL Championship

When betting specifically on second division matches, the teams are usually very evenly matched, and there are regular occurrences of high placed teams losing to lower-ranked teams.

Therefore, league position is an unreliable indicator for selecting the winner of a game. The goal market is much more popular, and many bettors tend to stick with this proven area of betting.

Betting on the 21/22 season

This season in the English second division: Bournemouth is still undefeated since the beginning of the season and they are at the top of the table 3 points ahead of West Brom in 2nd place. Fulham, who has the best attack in the EFL, has scored first in 83% of their games. Coventry City have won all their home games. Who will you bet on as the winner of the 2021/22 Championship?
