The Championship is back in action on Tuesday night at half past midnight. Former Premier League relegation rivals Walford will host Saffield United. Both teams are dreaming of promotion this season, but they have suffered a challenging start to the season and may be more cautious in this match. Given the solid defenses of both teams and the equal strength of both sides, it will be difficult to produce many goals, so a goal difference of 2.5 goals seems to be a safer choice. (Live broadcast on Cable 601 and 661 at 3:00am on Tuesday, stay tuned!)
Walford were relegated from the Premier League last season as the second last team in the league, and are one of the best in the Championship in terms of player strength. However, due to their high level, these stars don't have many chances to play in the Championship, such as the two star strikers, Ismaila Shaya and Emmanuel Dennis, who are rumored to be in negotiation for a transfer to other big teams. Even if they are able to play, their commitment is questionable.
Wakefield has made frequent changes to its lineup this season and has struggled to stabilize its tactics, with three of its recent four warm-up matches going scoreless, a worrying performance from its front line.
Siffield United ranked fifth in the Championship last season, but were unlucky to go out in the play-offs. The team's top scorer, Billy Schaub, was injured in the play-offs and only recently regained his health, and was unable to feature in the early season matches, which had a serious impact on Saffron's attacking ability. However, Saffron's defense has always been solid, conceding less than 1 goal per game in last season's Championship, and the total number of goals scored in the last 4 matches against Wakefield has stayed at 2 goals or less, so the under 2.5 goals seems to be a good choice.
