Here are five predictions for the final day of the 2023/24 Championship season with Leeds United and Birmingham City tipped to have contrasting afternoons.
as the fight at the bottom – even for this league’s ludicrous standards – had gotten out of hand.
The relegation scene has the potential to be pretty undramatic on the final day if Birmingham quickly go a couple of goals behind against Norwich, but if they earn a miraculous win , it will be squeaky bum time for the couple of teams still in danger above. Since Paul Warne left for Derby County, the club and supporters have gradually drifted apart so Evans’ return has been greeted with widespread excitement when that would not necessarily have been the case a year ago.
Their blushes have been spared somewhat by seventh-placed Hull City’s recent inconsistency in the Championship, but Liam Rosenior’s team still have a sniff of the top six as they are two points adrift of West Brom. Another loss for West Brom would top off a quite extraordinary end-of-season collapse. Given their miserable run and what’s at stake, it’s difficult to imagine Carlos Corberan returning to form this weekend but whether it’s via a nervy draw or Hull slipping up, they should crawl over the line to book their place in the play-offs.Daniel Farke’s side will reach 93 points if they beat Southampton this weekend and this tally is typically enough to earn a place in the automatic promotion places.
Fans of the Championship were salivating at the prospect of Leeds United facing Southampton on the final day as the two sides took turns being favourites to finish second before their recent poor run of results. It had a chance of being a one-game shootout for second place, but the brilliance of McKenna-ball has upset the odds and made Saturday’s clash at Elland Road far less exciting.
