The English Premier League (EPL) has long been one of the most popular football tournaments for sports fans and bettors. Despite playing in England, the teams in this competition have a massive following in various parts of the world, especially those clubs that belong to the “Big 6.” The battle for the title has always been a spectacle for the viewers, as every match is quite unpredictable, and upsets can cause massive disruptions in the standings.
Apart from the battle at the top, countless fans in Singapore are tuned to the lower part of the standings. As of writing, Norwich City, Burnley, and Watford are already at risk of being relegated. With an average of 10 more games to be played, other teams might also stumble along the way and unexpectedly join the fray of those who will be relegated.
But if there are teams that will be relegated, some will also be promoted. The English Football League (EFL) Championship (commonly called “Championship”) is the 2nd tier of football competition in England and is also watched by countless fans worldwide. Apart from the action, many tune in to the Championship as the teams that will be promoted can alter the landscape of the EPL.
Like other football leagues, there are also plenty of market options available on various
sportsbooks in Singapore regarding the Championship. This includes the outright market for who will be promoted to the EPL. And with the season already nearing its end, it is good to know which teams have the highest chances of moving up to the bigger stage of English football.

AFC Bournemouth
After a 4-year run in the Premier League, Bournemouth got relegated to the Championship two years ago. They failed to win the playoffs last season but are looking to clinch an automatic promotion this year as they sit in second place on the league table.
Although they are only three points ahead of Huddersfield Town, Bournemouth is currently on good form, winning 4 of the last 5 league matches. They can still challenge Fulham for the EFL title and remain a favorite to move up to the EPL.
Playoff Picture
Apart from the automatic promotion, the playoffs are another reason why EFL Championship is getting more popular on Singapore football betting. The clubs that will sit on the third to sixth place will battle out on a two-round post-season tournament, with the winner gaining the promotion. The format is usually 3rd vs. 6th, and 4th vs. 5th, played in two legs on both home fields, with the Finals being played on Wembley Stadium in London.
Huddersfield Town AFC
The team from North England enjoyed a brief Premier League run from 2017 to 2019 before going back down to the Championship. Huddersfield Town is looking to book another ticket to the big league as they sit at 3rd place in the standings, 2 points ahead of Blackburn and a game away from Bournemouth.
Despite the recent tough loss against Millwall, momentum has been on the club’s side. They recently have huge and much-needed wins, including a 2-1 victory against Fulham. As of writing, they still have 8 matches left to play, including games against other teams fighting for a playoff spot.
Blackburn Rovers FC
A founding member of the Premier League in 1992, Blackburn Rovers is one of the only 7 teams that won the EPL title. But since 2012, they have been playing in the Championship, hoping to get back to where they started.
Despite their recent struggle, Blackburn had a tremendous run early in the season, allowing them to collect points as much as possible. They are currently 4th in the table with 61 points and are looking good on securing a spot in the playoffs.
Luton Town FC
After spending multiple years on the lower tiers of English football, Luton Town is looking solid this year. Led by striker Elijah Adebayo, the club already tallied more goals than they scored last season with nine more games to play. The Hatters’ recent 4-0 win against Preston North End propelled the team to 5th place in the standing and finally showed their determination to play with the big clubs on EPL.
Queen Park Rangers FC
Another founding member of the EPL, QPR is looking to go back to the top flight of English football as they are currently at 6th place on the table. They are tied with Middlesbrough with 59 points, only leading on goals scored by 5. With Mark Warburton at the helm, the Hoops are looking good all season long and will look to get huge wins on their remaining games.
In Contention
There are still plenty of games to be played in the next two months, and the current league table might still change dramatically. Middlesbrough FC is currently tied with QPR with 59 points. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest FC and Sheffield United FC are tied with 58 points, with Nottingham sitting ahead due to a more significant goal difference.
Conclusion
The fight to survive is getting more interesting as weeks go by, with many thinking that the final placements might be determined on the very last matchday of the season. This makes the remaining games more exciting for countless football fans worldwide.
This spectacle in the Championship also adds a massive thrill for sports bettors, who might need to do extensive preparations to win.
