Championship Betting Odds - Southampton now 13/8 for promotion
After a 5-0 mauling from Leicester, Southampton are set for the Championship Play-offs
Having headed to the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening still hoping to grab an automatic promotion spot, Southampton returned to the South coast on the back of a 5-0 mauling from league leaders Leicester, meaning they are now bound for the play-offs.
As short as 5/4 on Tuesday for promotion to the Premier League, Southampton’s Championship promotion odds are now 13/8, as they aim to negotiate a return to the top tier via the play-offs.
Championship Promotion Betting Odds
- Leicester - 1/200
- Leeds - 2/7
- Ipswich - 4/9
- Southampton - 13/8
- Norwich - 6/1
- West Brom - 6/1
- Hull - 80/1
Saints are now locked in a fierce battle for the 3rd spot with Leeds and Ipswich, and securing this spot would likely pit Russell Martin’s side against West Brom or Norwich in the Championship play-off semi-finals.
Team | Matches Played | Points |
---|---|---|
Leicester City | 44 | 94 |
Leeds United | 44 | 90 |
Ipswich Town | 43 | 89 |
Southampton | 44 | 84 |
West Brom | 44 | 72 |
Norwich City | 44 | 72 |
For Leicester, promotion is within touching distance as they moved four points clear of 2nd-place Leeds with two matches left to play.
Ipswich remain third but with the luxury of having three matches still to play in one of the closest Championship title races for years.
The bookmakers now make Leicester 1/14 to be crowned Championship winners and make an immediate return to the Premier League.
