Championship betting & Odds

The Championship offers plenty of thrills and spills and is one of the most hard-fought leagues in Europe.

With three places in the Premier League up for grabs every season, the promotion race is intense. The last few weeks of the season often produce incredible drama and you can get involved with our Championship betting odds.

The second tier of English football is arguably less predictable than the Premier League, with less of a gulf between the resources of the top and bottom clubs, so every team starts the campaign with dreams of earning some of the riches on offer.

With plenty of midweek fixtures, matches in this division come thick and fast and that means lots of Championship odds to choose from.

Championship betting odds

One of the most popular markets in Championship betting is the match result in which you simply predict either a home win, draw, or away win, but that’s not all Coral have to offer.

When you select a Championship game in the sportsbook, take your pick from a wide range of options. Will there be goals at both ends? Check out the Championship odds on both teams to score. Which team will score the opening goal and will it be in the first half?

You don’t have to just bet on the match over 90 minutes, you can decide what the result could be after 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes.

Do you fancy one team to win and concede? Check out the match result and both teams to score option which is one way of boosting your potential returns with increased Championship odds than the match result.

Will there be goals galore or will it be a snooze fest? The under/over goals market may be what you are looking for where the higher you go, the bigger the potential pay-out.

Suspect a team won’t lose but not sure if they will win? The double chance market allows you to have a win and draw at lower odds, while draw/no bet means your stake is returned if honours end even after 90 minutes.

You can also bet on the outcome at half-time and full-time, meaning both selections need to come in, while a team to win both halves is popular especially in games involving some of the Championship betting favourites where the result seems a foregone conclusion.

We also have many #YourCall and ‘Build your bet’ options for all matches in which you can combine two or three markets in a single bet. The more selections you add to your Championship betting coupon, the bigger the potential return.

That’s only a selection of the odds available in Championship betting but what about the outright markets?

Championship winner odds

The Championship is an intriguing mix of relegated teams looking to get back to the big time and others hoping that this will be their season.

Players know a good season in the Championship could earn them a lucrative move to a top club while budding young managers have the chance to enhance their reputations.

Coral offer outright Championship betting markets on the title race which are regularly updated as the leading teams drop points or hit top form.

The Championship winner odds are released well before the start of the season and picking the likely champions is no easy task but following your selection throughout the campaign adds to the fun.

Championship promotion odds

Only one team can be crowned champions but there are three promotion places up for grabs every season.

Every team wants to win the league but the main focus in the Championship is reaching the promised land of the Premier League.

The team which finishes second in the table is promoted automatically while the teams in third, fourth, fifth and sixth contest the Championship play-offs, which are one of the highlights of the domestic football season.

The third-placed team finished the sixth-placed team over two legs, while fourth meets fifth, and the winners on aggregate go through to the Championship play-off final at Wembley.

Billed as the richest game in world football, the final place in next season’s Premier League is up for grabs and the drama and tension is unmatched.

Championship relegation odds

Three teams also leave the Championship at the end of each season via the opposite route as they are relegated to League One.

Deciding which teams will go down is another popular market in pre-season Championship betting and the odds continue to be updated throughout the season.

Some teams may be relegated long before the season is over but for others, survival goes down to the wire and there is usually plenty of last-day drama.

The one thing for certain is that Coral will be there every step of the way throughout the season with the best Championship betting odds.
