Leeds suffered play-off final heartbreak last term, while Sheffield United suffered a humiliating relegation from the Premier League. Middlesbrough showed flashes of promise in the second tier but their promotion hopes dissipated quickly.
Hull City were taken to the brink of the play-offs last season, led by Liam Rosenior. He has since been replaced by Tim Walter and the MKM Stadium faithful will be hoping for a smooth transition and another promotion charge.
Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, could arguably be considered dark horses for promotion after their great escape. The Owls narrowly avoided the drop under Danny Rohl, who rescued the club from the abyss after a dismal start to the 2023/24 season.
While all of the Championship’s Yorkshire club could be backed for promotion, the second tier is notoriously competitive and difficult to predict. It throws up surprises on a regular basis but as squads take shape, it becomes easier to cast predictions.
SafeBettingSites have used AI (artificial intelligence), combining ChatGPT, Gemini and Bing AI, to formulate a predicted Championship table. Here is how the table is expected to look at the end of the 2024/25 season.
