The Championship starts tonight!
This Friday evening you can enjoy the opening match of the season 2022/2023 in England’s second-best football league, the Championship. The campaign begins with the duel between Huddersfield Town and Burnley. Huddersfield ended up last season as the third-placed team in the Championship. Burnley on the other side, was the 18th-placed team in the Premier League, a position that relegated the Clarets into the Championship. The main objective of both teams is to end up at the top of the league and qualify for the Premier League. So there’s no doubt this opening match will bring high excitement.
Huddersfield Town A.F.C. played 5 friendly games this summer. The Terriers managed to win 2 of them, followed by 2 defeats and 1 draw match. The last time they faced Burnley was back in January this year in the FA Cup 1/32-finals. Huddersfield did a great job in that match and won the game with a final score of 1:2. So tonight their head coach Danny Schofield will set another quality formation and go for the first victory in front of the home audience.
Burnley F.C. after 6 straight seasons in the Premier League is back in the Championship. The Clarets played 2 friendly games this month. The good news is that they won both games. First, Burnley beat Rochdale by 1:0, and then they faced Shrewsbury Town and won the game by 1:3. So tonight their manager Vincent Kompany must bring another quality tactical approach and try to start the campaign with a victory.
We are expecting a tough match where both teams will try to end up with a clean sheet. The favorite for the win will be Huddersfield Town because of the home arena advantage.
Our prediction: Market (OVER/UNDER) Tip: UNDER (2.5)
So tune in tonight and watch this opening match at Championship and find out who is going to play better football and start the season with victory at John Smith’s Stadium.
