Home / Football / Championship Betting
The Npower Championship is the name of the division given to the second tier of football in England and is a very popular betting heat. With many games televised during the season, plus well supported teams such as Nottingham Forest and Leeds United there is plenty of interest from a football betting perspective.
The Championship is an extremely competitive league with the weekly matches very difficult to predict. Teams that have been promoted to the Premier League in past years include the likes of Burnley, Blackpool and Swansea, making the betting on who will win the league outright very tricky.
The betting on who will win the league this season and earn a place in the Premier League is tight, with recently relegated Blackburn, Bolton and Wolves well fancied to bounce straight back up.Charlton, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield are looking to do well in the Championship after being promoted from League 1 last season.
As well as betting on the outright winner of the Championship, bookmakers will take bets on who will get promoted and relegated, plus you can bet on who will be the division's top goalscorer. You can also bet on a team to win on the handicap, where the bookie attributes imaginary points head start to each team which can be added to the team's real points tally at the end of the season.
