West Brom a Solid Bet for Derby Victory over Birmingham
West Brom were fancied to bounce straight back up into the Premier League at the first time of asking by many people and I think after the transfer window now they have had a chance to settle in the Championship, we will begin to see why. The Baggies have four league games to round off September and right now, three of their four opponents are in the bottom half of the Championship table, this is a month of opportunity for them.

Top Two Clash in Championship Thriller on Friday
It is very rare we get a big game in August, but on Friday night when Leeds and Middlesbrough clash at Elland Road, the game will certainly have a special feel to it. Both teams are considered as potential promotion candidates, so it is no surprise to see them start as well as they have done. However, now they come up against each other and put their unbeaten runs on the line. Both have played five Championship games,

Middlesbrough Can Edge Clash of the Championship Big Guns
There are many teams fighting for promotion from the Championship this season and two of them are Middlesbrough and West Brom. Both are ex-Premier League clubs who are trying to get back into the big time, with West Brom having their first year down in the Championship after relegation last season. Both have spent big this summer in an attempt to get back into the big time, and anything other than a top six finish would probably be seen as a disappointment for them.

Bolton Can Continue Winning Start against Winless Birmingham
It has been a surprising, but very good start to the new season for Bolton Wanderers and they can continue that start with another win on Wednesday when Birmingham travel to face them. Many people expected Bolton to be involved in a relegation battle once again this season, but if their recent form is anything to go by then they look set to be well clear of the drop.
With two wins and a draw from their opening three games they currently sit in 6th which is the final play off place.

Bristol City Can Take Advantage of Poor QPR
The start of the Championship campaign has been very disappointing for Bristol City, but they can finally get their first win of the season on Tuesday night. They travel to QPR, a team who have been disappointing themselves and come here on the back of a dreadful 7-1 defeat to West Brom. While neither have been performing well so far, Bristol City are by far the better team in this game and they look a good bet in the second tier of English football on Tuesday.

Swansea to beat Birmingham
Of the three teams to come down to the Championship from the Premier League, Swansea have been the least spoken about. People have mentioned the chances of both West Brom and Stoke making the jump back to the top flight at the first time of asking, but Swansea appear to have slipped under the radar a little.
Can Swansea Bounce Back From Relegation?
The new Championship season is just a few hours away from kicking off, and whilst the World Cup has been a fun distraction, we’ve certainly missed the feeling of watching domestic football on a week to week basis. There’s just something different about the style of play, the fanbases and the overall atmosphere of these games that make things feel special.
As we look ahead to the start of yet another new campaign,

Can Aston Villa Rises From The Ashes?
One of the hardest things to deal with in football is disappointment, and unfortunately, as fans, we all have a tendency to get our hopes up – meaning that thing can oh so easily come crashing back down to Earth at any moment. In a way, that’s what happened at the end of last season when Aston Villa’s ‘Road to Redemption’ of sorts came to a bitter end as they were defeated by Fulham in the Championship Playoff Final at Wembley Stadium.
