With almost a third of the Championship season behind us, the battle to avoid relegation is intensifying. Queens Park Rangers may be at the bottom of the table, but they are still in the fight to stay up. Looking at the teams struggling to survive in the Championship, it’s clear that the competition is wide open.
Portsmouth, led by John Mousinho, are currently the favorites to drop down to League One. However, four teams are just three points ahead of them, all with 15 points this season. The tightness of the league at the bottom is evident when considering goal difference as the differentiator.
Looking at the relegation odds, there is no clear favorite among the struggling teams. The top 10 teams at risk of relegation have varying odds, indicating that things could change quickly in the upcoming weeks.
Current favorites to face relegation include Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle, QPR, and Preston. Portsmouth, with only two wins in 15 games, are seen as the most likely to go down, with odds of 8/15. Plymouth Argyle, despite being one point above the drop zone, have odds of 4/6, indicating a potential slide down the table.
The most enticing offer among the struggling teams is Queens Park Rangers at 11/10. With only one win in 15 games and sitting at the bottom of the table, QPR seem destined for relegation. Betting on them now at 11/10 could be a wise choice before their odds shorten even further if changes are made in the coaching staff.
Preston North End, currently avoiding the relegation zone on goal difference, have had a tough season. With a change in management early on and a recent defeat to Portsmouth, their survival hopes are hanging by a thread. At odds of 10/3, a bet on Preston to go down might be a good move given their winless streak.
As the Championship season progresses, the battle for survival at the bottom of the table will only get more intense. With unpredictable results and tight competition, it’s anyone’s game to stay up in the league. Fans will be watching closely as the drama unfolds in the coming weeks, hoping their team can avoid the drop and secure another season in the Championship.
