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.

Competition between the players representing their clubs is fierce, and for that reason, the EFL 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 league 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 can hope for. It is a defining example of the immense popularity and quality of English football.

Betting on the English second division season

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 fight for one of these coveted slots right up to the final whistle of the last game of the season.

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

Recommended EFL Championship Betting

When betting specifically on second division matches, the teams are usually very evenly matched, and there are regular instances whereby high-placed teams lose 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 indicator when placing betting.
