Championship: how our predictions work
Middlesbrough currently top the Championship (England) with 25 points. Before every match we compare the odds of several bookmakers and use them to derive our tip and the estimated probability of a 1, X or 2 result.
- The tip is the result we consider most likely. When the favourite is only slightly ahead, we recommend double chance.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar shows the estimated probability of a home win, a draw and an away win.
- Fair odds are 1 divided by the probability. If a bookmaker's odds are higher than the fair odds, the bet may be good value, but that is no guarantee.
The current standings are in the table, completed matches in the results, the remaining matchweeks in the fixture list, the top scorers in the scorers ranking and the players with cards in the cards ranking.
