2021/22 English Championship League Betting Trends

English football has such importance that its Second Division, The English Championship League (EFL), better known as Sky BET Championship, has international relevance. Moreover, there is a lot of interest in following the development of this tournament in which 24 teams participate. They compete both for promotion places to the Premier League and not being relegated to the lower division. The top two teams on the leaderboard immediately move up to the Premier League, while a third team seeks their move to the Premier League by winning the English Championship League Playoff.

The 2021-22 season started in August and will end in May 2022. At the closing of this article, 192 games have been played out of 412. This amount represents 47% of the season's matches. Also, this campaign has been characterized by a good number of goals, in total 487 goals for an average of 2.54 per match. Likewise, when placing your bets, keep in mind that the home teams took the highest number of victories with 45% during this season. Meanwhile, the away teams have won 30% of the matches, and so far, the percentage of draws is 26%. Interestingly, in 50% of the matches, both teams scored (BTS), and in 74% of the matches, more than 1.5 goals occurred. Besides, more than 2.5 goals have been scored in 49% of the matches. This figure indicates that it is a very offensive season. As for the teams dominating the leaderboard, two of them thus far guaranteed promotion to the Premier League. They are Bournemouth, leading with 37 points, and Fulham with 35 points. Then, the fight is powerful between several teams that opt for the four places in the playoff: West Bromwich Albion (31 pts.), Coventry City (27), Queens Park Rangers (25), and Stoke City (25).

However, the real battle unfolds between fifth and thirteenth place as only three points separate all of these teams. Therefore, betting on BTS in some of the matches between these teams is a good option. After all, they have such a high motivation to score. The most offensive team of the season is Fulham, scoring an impressive 43 goals, 19 of which belong to their star attacker Aleksandar Mitrović. Fulham is on an excellent run, undefeated in the last five matches, and in the previous eight matches, they have scored an average of 3.13 goals, raising the average for the rest of the season by 16.4% (2.69). While the factor that has kept Bournemouth in the first place is their defense, which has only allowed ten goals, although it comes from losing its first game of the season, Bournemouth continues on an excellent streak. They won 6 of the last eight games, in which its average of goals conceded per game is just 0.50. This number represents 20.6% less than his average for the rest of the season. Bournemouth is a balanced team in every way, while Fulham has taken advantage of their offensive ability and good road performance.
