With the season about to enter its home straight, the race for automatic promotion to the Premier League from the Championship is still being eyed up by six sides, with around half the league still realistically having a chance of finishing in the play-offs. Scunthorpe’s 1-0 defeat of Nottingham Forest this week was a prime example of exactly how open this league is and means there is still a lot to be learnt for football betting and tipping.
Before Christmas, it looked as though the top two places in the Championship were sewn up by QPR and Cardiff but that all changed over the festive period, both sides suffering their own losses in form. While the two front-runners have returned to the summit of the table, the chasing pack has all been given a renewed sense of confidence in their fight for the top two.
Neil Warnock looks to have moulded a squad capable of seeing the job through but Cardiff has the look of possible chokers about them. In a squad packed with as many talented players as Cardiff are blessed with, is sure to bring an ego or two up to the surface.
Dave Jones knows the pain of missing out on promotion with this side and he’ll be desperate to avoid that this season, which will bring its own pressure onto the manager. As it stands though the Welsh club are in the top two by right and it will take another club to earn their place in the top two.
For football betting tips, the coming games to watch will be a good indicator of who to back. Leeds and Norwich have both had impressive first seasons back in the Championship and the duo has shown they are in this race till the end. Forest will need to bounce back from the shock Scunthorpe defeat and go on another unbeaten run. Swansea and Leicester add to the unusually busy promotion race this year and one which looks certain to go down to the wire.
