How are our Championship predictions made?

Championship predictions 2025-26

At Wincomparator, we've been predicting Championship since 2008. Today, in 2025, we bring you our intelligent predictions, the result of years of research. Our unique algorithm enables us to make reliable Championship predictions.

  • Our predictions are based on thousands of pieces of data
  • Artificial intelligence helps us to process the data
  • Championship odds are taken into account in the calculation
  • Our experts validate allChampionship predictions in our tool

Today, we are able to calculate the most likely result to be expected from a Championship match.

Winner prediction: who do we expect to win the Championship?

The Championship is looking particularly competitive this year! A number of clubs are in with a shout of winning the English second division title.

Ipswich Town, Southampton and Birmingham are the bookies' favourites, of course, but Sheffield United should not be underestimated either. 

Indeed, all the teams mentioned above have strengthened their squads in fine style during the summer transfer window, adding a little more to their talented squads. 

Our experts give a slight edge to Ipswich Town, who were in the Premier League last year and will be looking to climb back into English football's elite immediately. Our prediction: Ipswich Town win the Championship.

Who will win the Championship? The odds of the favourite for the title

  • Ipswich Town - 4.00
  • Southampton - 6.00
  • Birmingham - 8.00
  • Sheffield United - 9.00
  • Coventry - 12.00
  • Leicester - 13.00
  • Norwich - 17.00
  • West Brom - 21.00

These odds, taken from the Bet365 website, show that the title will be hotly contested and that winning the Championship is anything but easy. Would you like to bet on the future winner or find out the odds on all the teams? Go to Bet365.com!

Note also that at certain times of the season, you'll have the opportunity to bet on the long term, with bets on which teams will finish in the top 6, the top 12 or those relegated to the Championship.

The impact of Championship statistics on your predictions

One thing we've noticed in all our Championship predictions is that statistics are not to be underestimated, and are fundamental to the success of a bet. In fact, by taking them into account along with other information (such as teams, players, fixtures, etc.), you'll have a much better idea of which bets to favor and which to avoid.

For example, if last year's figures are anything to go by, a Sheffield match is more likely to validate the “both teams to score” prediction (71% of matches last year, the highest total in the Championship). On the contrary, it was better not to place such a bet on an Coventry or Bristol match, which had the lowest rates at 42%.

Don't forget that the main figures and all the stats are to be analyzed before each bet on the Championship, and that we offer you our stats table a little higher up on this page, so don't hesitate to make use of it.

Championship odds: how to use them to bet with bookmakers?

If there's one other thing to remember, it's that the odds offered by operators are also crucial to a good betting strategy. It's important to understand that they reflect the probabilities of an outcome, and our algorithm obviously takes them into account in its calculations.

If you're planning to bet on a Championship match, ask yourself this question: are the odds I want to try really attractive? In other words: are the potential gains worth the stake? Or am I taking too big a risk?

  • For example, you see Blackburn in trouble when they take on Hull City, but the sites offer odds of 1.52 for the Rovers to win.
    Using the formula (1/quote) x 100, you can calculate the probability of success for as estimated by the bookmakers, in this case 65.7%.
    If you're sticking to your guns and don't see Blackburn winning, then avoid a bet. It would be a shame to risk €10, for example, to win “only” €5.2
  • Reversing the situation now, you can see Wrexham taking all 3 points from Milwall.
    The bookmakers are offering odds of 2.12 for this bet, which gives a probability of 47.1% according to the bookmakers. 
    Here, the odds look really good. Why? The books underestimate the Red Dragons in your opinion, and the promised winnings are high in relation to the risk taken!

As you can see, the odds offered by online bookmakers for the Championship are clearly not to be overlooked and should always be taken into account. This is true not only for the English Championship, but also for any other football predictions!

Guidelines for reliable Championship predictions

Championship betting advice tips

All the Championship predictions on our site are based on over a hundred parameters. A real asset if you want to put all the odds in your favour to win as many bets as possible.

If you'd like to carry out an analysis yourself, here are three key tips to apply to your bets on the English Championship, especially for punters who are just starting out.

1. Keep an eye on the fixture list

In the Championship, the top clubs often have a very busy schedule. You have to be wary of this situation because, between the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, a Championship  match can be put aside.

For example, if Birmingham play Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup, host Leicester in the Championship before travelling to Manchester United in the FA Cup, the league match between these clashes could well allow Chris Davies to rotate his squad...

A bet on the Blues could then become a real risk, and we will have to wait at least for the Blues coach's press conference to get the temperature, or even the official line-up for the match!

2. Take account of rivalries in England

In the Championship as in other leagues, there are many rivalries between clubs. Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester vs Derby County, Milwalll vs Charlton, Southampton vs Portsmouth... These are just a few of the many examples, and there are many other classics and derbies that could have been listed.

This is particularly the case in London, where many clubs play in the English second division. And there's regularly a London derby! This is a very important aspect to take into account when betting on the Championship.

This has a big influence on the clubs and players, who obviously want to beat their great rivals and avoid alienating their own fans. It's not uncommon to see a struggling and far-from-favourite club beat a rival every season in England!

3. Take a look at the history of the clubs

The league is fiercely contested in England, where every match is a real battle for 3 points, especially with 24 teams chasing victory every week. If there is no such thing as a “simple game” in football, this is even truer in England.

And if there's one thing you need to pay attention to before placing a bet, it's the history of the clubs in this Championship. It is not uncommon to find that a team has failed to win in a stadium for 20 years, for example!

And yet, every year, they find themselves favourites with the bookmakers when it comes to travelling to that famous cursed stadium, but every year they bite the dust. Our final piece of advice is to pay close attention to these series (whether positive or negative), which are of real importance in England.

Our opinion on the difficulty of Championship betting

Of the European leagues, the Championship is probably one of the most difficult to predict. There are many very big clubs, and the battle for the title is fierce every year. Some low-ranked clubs are sometimes capable of making spectacular leaps up the table during the season.

But betting on the English second league and making a profit is not impossible, far from it. At Wincomparator, we put you in the best possible position with our expert predictions, Championship stats and the best odds to bet on.
