By admin The anticipated final standings for the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship season have been projected following recent outcomes, including West Brom’s losses, Norwich’s draws, and Hull’s victories.
As the campaign nears its end, the race for the Championship play-offs is heating up with just two matches remaining. Despite their strong performances, West Bromwich Albion has stumbled recently, allowing other contenders to close in. Their defeat against Leicester City was particularly painful despite outclassing the top team in the division.
Norwich City poses the biggest threat to West Brom’s playoff aspirations, especially for the fifth spot, as they have been on a good run with two wins and two draws in their last four games, accumulating four more points than West Brom over that period, narrowing the gap to just seven goal difference.
Hull City remains firmly in contention after a crucial victory in their game in hand against Coventry City, moving within three points of Norwich and West Brom. With players like Jaden Philogene, Fabio Carvalho, and Noah Ohio delivering, Hull cannot be discounted from the race.
Coventry City, despite having an additional match to play, still have a mathematical chance of finishing in the top six. However, it would require Norwich and West Brom to suffer two defeats each while they win all their remaining games. While not impossible, it appears to be a daunting task for Mark Robins’ team this season.
Looking ahead, which teams are most likely to secure play-off berths at the current standings? Additionally, how is the rest of the Championship table expected to shape up, with battles ongoing for the title and relegation survival?
