Sheffield Wednesday – Leeds United 28th September
The fixture Sheffield Wednesday – Leeds United from the EFL Championship will be played on September 28th (Friday) at 19:45 h. UK time. Sheffield Wells have always defeated Leeds, but for now Leeds are champions and I think the battle will be a level and many goals will fall in it and it is difficult to determine the winner from the final exit so I expect at least three goals to be scored in this match.
The coefficient for Sheffield Wednesday to win is 3.50. Draw result is estimated at 3.50. The coefficient for Leeds United to win is 2.20. TV Program for football is available here.
Bristol City – Aston Villa 28th September
The fixture Bristol City – Aston Villa from the EFL Championship will be played on September 28th (Friday) at 20:00 h. UK time. Expectations are for Villa to quit their opponent as at the beginning of the year, but things are far from the same way as before. Villa clearly stated their ambitions at the beginning of the season, but so far they do not justify them on the background of their 13th place with a champion. The hosts, on the other hand, are not particularly convincing at home.
The coefficient for Bristol City to win is 2.50. Draw result is estimated at 3.40. The coefficient for Aston Villa to win is 3.00. TV Program for football is available here.
The English football league system is divided in two levels: the Premier League is the highest level (first level) and the English Football League (EFL) is the second level.
Premier League (Premiership)
The English Premier League is at the top of England’s football hierarchy. The league was founded in 1992 when a number of rich clubs want to increase their revenue. There are 20 teams in the Premier League. The connection with the second level exists, as three teams drop each year from the Premiership to be replaced by three teams that have won a promotion from the top level of the Football League – Championship.
English Football League (EFL)
England ‘s football league is the oldest league in the world, but after the separation of the rich teams it plays a minor role in the Premier League. It consists of 72 teams, divided into 3 divisions of 24 clubs: Championship , First League and Second League. Between them there are promotions and relegations after each season.
Championship is in the second level in the English football league system, but it is the highest tournament in the second level EFL. The first two teams in the final standings win a promotion directly into the Premier League. The remaining four teams up to sixth place play a designated tournament – a playoff to determine the third team to climb and enter the into the Premier League. The last three teams are relegated in the First League.
The Football Association of England (FA) organizes both the entire football system in the country and tournaments for different national cups. All football teams in England, regardless of their status, are members of the FA. Also teams from Wales are members of the FA and participate equally with the rest of the English teams.
