The new season of the English Championship will start in the early hours of Saturday (5), and the first match will be a home match between Sydney Wednesday and Southampton. Last season, the two teams were two levels apart, with Sydney promoted from League One, while Southampton was relegated. The visiting "Saints" have better cards, but many stars have centrifuges, so they may not be able to score against the motivated Seahampton, so it's better to bet on 2.5 goals. (Saturday 3am kick-off)
After 11 years in the Premier League, Southampton have landed in the Championship this season. Of course, they will win the game on the cards, but the truth is that the likes of Wattles, Ogilvy O'Lavia, and Gavin Peters are thinking of leaving, and centre-half Mohammed Sallissoe has already joined Monaco, so the army will inevitably be disorganized, and in the Championship, which is all about fighting spirit and stamina, the beginning of the season may not be a sweet deal.
"The Saints' new manager Russell Martin wants to introduce the pass-and-control style of soccer previously taught by Swansea, but this technical style of play can't be adapted instantly, especially as the team is undergoing a period of roster turbulence, and the team's pre-season warm-up results are not so good either, with only one win in five warm-up games, and a 0-1 loss against Alkmaar in the last match.
