The opening fixture of the season sees Blackburn welcoming Derby County, and Preston welcoming freshly relegated Sheffield UTD.
2024/25 Championship Promotion Contenders
Luton (16/5), Burnley (2/1), and Sheffield United (5/1) have been relegated from the Premier League and are determined to quickly regain their top-flight status. Meanwhile, Leeds United (11/10) are eager to bounce back from their playoff final loss to Southampton last season and secure one of the highly sought-after automatic promotion spots this time around.
Leeds narrowly missed out on promotion last season, losing their final two matches while Ipswich emerged victorious in theirs, resulting in a six-point gap between the two teams. Their disappointment was further compounded when they faced Southampton in the 2024 Playoff Final at Wembley and suffered a 1-0 defeat.
Burnley enter the 2024/25 season with their second manager in less than three years, as Vincent Kompany unexpectedly departed for Bayern Munich. The club has turned to Scott Parker, an experienced manager who has previously achieved promotions with Fulham and AFC Bournemouth.
Despite finishing 18th in the Premier League last season, Luton managed to retain their head coach, Rob Edwards, who has proven his ability to guide the team to promotion. They finished six points behind Nottingham Forest and are determined to reclaim their former glory.
Middlesbrough (7/2), Coventry (9/2), West Brom (11/2), Norwich (11/2), Sunderland (8/1), Stoke (15/2), Swansea (14/1), and Hull City (8/1) have all experienced Premier League football recently and are eager for another opportunity at the highest level.
2024/25 Championship Relegation Candidates
Last season, Rotherham United, Huddersfeld Town and Birmingham were the three to drop out of the Championship while Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn narrowly avoided relegation.Most bookies, including new betting sites, have two newly promoted sites such as Oxford Utd (6/4) and Plymouth (9/4) as as the outright favourites to be relegated at the end of the 46-gameweek long season.
Other clubs that the bookies believe are potential contenders for relegation are Preston, Millwall, Cardiff City, Derby and the other newly-promoted team Portsmouth .
Blackburn Rovers, who finished 19th last season, are also strong contenders in this regard.
Other possible strugglers are Bristol City, Watford, Swansea and Hull.
