Championship Winner Odds 2023/24: Leicester favourites for the title
The Championship fixtures have now been released for the upcoming 2023/24 season, so here at BettingOdds.com we've had an updated look at the Championship winner market.
Leicester City - 6/1
At the start of the 2022/2023 season, punters could have grabbed 16/1 about The Foxes being relegated to the second tier. The former Premier League Champions mustered 34 points across the course of the campaign, finishing two points behind Everton in 17th.
With so many talented players in their squad, bookmakers have chalked up Leicester as the 6/1 favourites to be crowned Championship winners in 2023/2024 and bounce back to the promised land at the first attempt.
Those odds imply a 14% chance that they will be crowned Championship winners, just as they were in 2014.
Leeds - 8/1
Sam Allardyce may have been paid half-a-million to take control of Leeds for just four matches, but his experience could not save the West Yorkshire side from the drop.
Plenty of change is needed in order for a successful Championship campaign which will be measured by promotion, with bookmakers having the still-managerless-club at 8/1 to be crowned champions.
Southampton - 8/1
After finishing at the foot of the Premier League table with a measly 25 points, Southampton will be playing Championship football for the first time since 2012.
Saints, who have appointed Russell Martin as their new manager, can be backed alongside Leeds at 8/1 to lift the trophy next May.
Middlesbrough - 10/1
When Michael Carrick was appointed Boro boss back in October 2022, they sat 21st in the Championship table.
They then went on to finish fourth, but were beaten in the play-off semi-final by Coventry City.
Clear progress has been made in the North East and as a result they are just 10/1 for second-tier glory next term.
West Brom - 16/1
Another team who switched managers in October last season were West Brom.
The Baggies appointed Carlos Corberan after Steve Bruce’s departure and after finishing just three points outside the play-offs after a poor start to the campaign, they are 16/1 to be crowned winners
Others
Watford and Norwich have both earned titles as yo-yo clubs over recent years and also can be backed at 16/1.
Stoke City come next in the market at 20/1, while last season’s play-off participants Sunderland and Coventry, as well as newly promoted Ipswich can be sided with at 20’s.
Blackburn and Millwall both missed out on a top-six finish on the final day after positive campaigns and can be backed at 25/1, along with Swansea.
You can find odds for the rest of the sides confirmed to be playing Championship football next season below.
