Aston Villa Face Derby For Premier League Berth

It’s been a long, hard and gruelling season as we’ve said a thousand times now, but it seems as if the finish line is finally in sight. English football has had one of its best years in a long, long time, and with both European finals being contested by Premier League teams, we struggle to see how people can argue with that. Aside from just Europe, though, there are a lot of other reasons to be excited –

Bohemians Look a Solid Bet to Pick Up Home Win

Charlton Face Sunderland For Place In The Championship

The Football League season is coming to a very gradual end, and what a season it has been. Teams across the Championship, League One and League Two have been battling it out for either promotion or relegation, as is always the case on a year to year basis. The unpredictability of such a race can often lead to some of the best football we see anywhere in Europe all season, and when we say the best,

Aston Villa Battle Rivals West Brom In Play-Offs

The season is starting to come to a close, and that means one thing: the play-offs are upon us. Twelve teams from throughout the Football League are set to battle it out for the right to gain promotion, but of course, the four teams that everyone will be focusing on are situated in the Championship. The winner of this post-season tournament will not only be able to lift the trophy up high at Wembley, but they’ll also be able to proudly say that they are going to be a Premier League team next season.

Leeds to Continue Winning Streak against Wigan on Friday

Just four games remain in the Championship season, and two of those will be played across this weekend, with teams playing on Friday and Monday. Six vitally important points are up for grabs for those teams battling it out at the top, and that includes Leeds United, who are looking to maintain their winning streak here.

Leeds have won their last two games while promotion rivals Norwich and Sheffield United have drawn both of theirs.

Norwich to Take Advantage of Fading Middlesbrough

The Championship is back after the international break and the three teams fighting it out for two automatic promotion spots at the top of the league have just eight games to go in the season. In the driving seat at the moment are Norwich, while Sheffield United hold onto the second spot and Leeds are currently the team on the outside looking in, and currently missing out. There is a long way to go though,

West Brom to Take Advantage of Poor Birmingham Form

The Championship is back this weekend and teams are returning for the final run of games, which are hugely important for some. Teams have just eight games to go, with many still in a position where these games could make or break their season, and for West Brom that is exactly the case right now.

The Baggies are too far back to challenge for automatic promotion, but far enough ahead of the rest in the playoffs that they don’t really need to worry about what it happening behind them.

Leeds to Continue Promotion Push with Away Win at Reading

The push for the Premier League is a three way battle in the Championship, with Leeds trying to bag one of the automatic promotion spots, but facing stiff competition from Norwich and Sheffield United. Each club has 10 games left to go, and all three are in great form so we are going to have a fascinating and exciting finish to the season.

Leeds come into this game with four wins and one defeat from their last five games,

Norwich to Extend Lead at Top of the Championship on Friday

Norwich are the first team out of the top three to play this weekend, and as they are already at the top, they have the chance to extend their lead even further. They go into the games this weekend with a two point advantage over Leeds and a four point advantage over Sheffield United, a win here could take those leads to five and seven respectively.

The Canaries are in pole position for an automatic promotion spot and a chance to go back into the Premier League,

Sheffield Rivals Meet In Steel City Derby

It’s always fun to focus on the Premier League, because let’s face it, it’s probably the most entertaining league in the world. With that being said it can also be pretty fun to take a step back and look a little bit further down the rankings – to the Championship. The second tier of English football is considered to be the most exciting division outside of Europe’s top leagues, and for good reason. The unpredictability of the playoffs,

Can Leeds Fight Back or Are Cracks Beginning to Appear?

Leeds United are one of three teams that are separated by just two points at the top of the Championship. They are in third right now, and a win on Friday night will take them back to the top of the league before Norwich and Sheffield United play over the weekend. However, they have not been playing anywhere near their best recently, and are lucky to have just two wins from their last five games.

Aston Villa and United Set to Play Out Entertaining Draw

On Friday night in the Championship, Aston Villa host fellow promotion hopefuls Sheffield United in what should be a very entertaining game at Villa Park. While both clubs are aiming for the playoffs, United are in a much better position than Villa at this point. The Blades sit in 3rd position, just three points behind both Leeds and Norwich who are tied at the top of the league. With their superior goal difference, a win for Sheffield United on Friday night would put them back to the top of the league before the other two play,

Promotion Chasing Derby a Solid Bet at Preston

Derby County are one of many teams that are fighting for promotion to the Premier League from the Championship this season. As we go into the games this weekend, Derby are currently holding onto the final playoff position, and that is where they will hope to remain.

They are eight points away from automatic promotion so it is unlikely they will be able to challenge for that, so the playoffs and staying in them will be the key.
