About the Championship
The Championship is England's second tier: 24 clubs and 46 league games, plus a play-off for the third promotion place. It is famously unpredictable, with small gaps between clubs and a draw rate higher than in the Premier League.
The fixture list is relentless, with many midweek rounds, so fatigue, squad depth and late team news play a large role. Clubs relegated from the Premier League carry parachute payments and bigger squads.
This season so far: 2.92 goals per match, 28% draws (119 matches).
