Leicester City continues to dominate the Championship and is the clear favorite to secure promotion to the Premier League as champions. They extended their unbeaten run to nine games with a 2-0 victory over Cardiff City, now sitting eight points clear at the top of the table. Bookies heavily favor their promotion, with BetVictor pricing them at 1/50 to go up.
Ipswich and Leeds United are also strong contenders for promotion, with odds of 4/7 and 8/13 respectively. Despite trailing in fourth place, Southampton has also been heavily backed at 1/1. West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland make up the top six, while Cardiff City is considered the more likely Welsh club to go up, although their 100/1 odds show little confidence in their chances.
Struggling teams like Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United are not even on the list of odds, indicating their slim chances of mounting a promotion challenge. The expected finishing positions of the Championship teams are indicated by the current betting odds.
