Championship Winner Odds

The Championship is remarkably competitive every season, featuring well-supported and historic clubs vying to reach the pinnacle of English football.  

Assess who will most likely become the Championship winner by exploring the odds and the best ways to bet on football at Parimatch. 

EFL Championship Winners: The Odds  

Recently relegated sides tend to do well, but that only tells part of the story. Let's look at the current favourites for the 2024/25 Championship season. 

Leeds United - 6/5* 

Although Leeds fans still feel the heartbreak of losing the 2023/24 Championship Playoff Final, there's plenty of room for optimism.  

Daniel Farke is the man at the helm who knows how to get out of this division. Leeds keeping Wilfried Gnonto is a massive coup, as he is viewed as one of the best players in the division. 

Burnley - 6/1* 

Vincent Kompany's surprise departure to Bayern Munich left Burnley needing a new boss to guide the Clarets back up after relegation last season. Scott Parker took the job and seems right at home already.  

Burnley hammered Luton Town and Cardiff City to start the season but have had to grind out results since then, showing they have the required resilience to go all the way under their new boss.  

Middlesbrough - 6/1* 

Since 2009, Middlesbrough have spent all but one season in the Championship, much longer than their fans would've hoped.  

The club could even be described as ‘Championship furniture’. However, Michael Carrick is showing exciting potential as a manager with his adaptive and efficient style of play. 

Sunderland - 7/1* 

Gone are the woes of League One; the Mackems appear back on track now and ready to challenge the upper echelons of the Championship table.  

Jobe Bellingham, Romaine Mundle, and Patrick Roberts are some of the standout names. People may take Sunderland more seriously this season than in previous years. 

Sheffield United - 9/1* 

There's no hiding from the fact that Sheffield United were abysmal in last season's Premier League, breaking the record for the most goals conceded in a single Premier League campaign.  

However, all the foundations are there for the Blades to rebuild and fight for at least a playoff spot this season.

Maximise your winnings when betting on the Championship winner by considering the following tips and strategies, as recommended by our in-house football experts: 

• Conduct Research: Has a team had a tumultuous summer? Are a raft of injuries hampering a side's hopes of promotion? Staying abreast of as much information as possible gives you greater insight into a team’s chances. Research a team's form, injuries, head-to-head results versus an opponent, signings, and club news before backing them to win.  
• Time Your Selection: Results and other circumstances alter your given Championship odds. For example, had Burnley had a much worse start to the season results-wise, but you still fancied them to improve, their odds would be significantly more attractive than they are now. Placing your bet earlier for favourites makes sense because prices will likely decrease if they're near the top further along the campaign. 
• Manage Your Bankroll: You must manage your bankroll appropriately to avoid losing more money on Championship winner bets. Ensure you visit our Safer Gambling Portal to discover the best tools to help you stay in control when betting and create an effective betting strategy.
