Two newcomers to the Championship face each other in the first official league match on Friday evening. Birmingham, buoyed by a record season in League One, hosts Ipswich, considered by many to be the favorite for the title. Chris Davies’ side dominated last year with their possession-based game, setting a points record in his first season as manager. St. Andrew’s Stadium is sold out, thanks in part to summer investments. However, the Championship is a different story.
They will face prestigious clubs backed by relegation funds, one of which is Ipswich. Kieran McKenna could replicate the plan that led them to promotion in the 2023/24 season: attacking at home, solid away. No team scored more points at home that season (54), and none lost fewer games away (5). But the most interesting thing was the difference in the number of goals per game: games at Portman Road averaged 3.96 goals, while away games averaged 2.56. Davis provided 18 assists last season at this level and 14 the year before in League One. With a career average of 0.36 assists per 90 minutes, the odds offered by bet365 are worth a try.
