Championship Permutations: Who could be relegated and who can finish in the play-offs this weekend?

It's been another pulsating campaign of Championship football in 2023/24, with the race for automatic promotion, the play-offs and to avoid relegation all still on the line ahead of the final day of the season.

Leicester City have sealed a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking as Championship winners under Enzo Maresca, but the second automatic promotion berth is still up for grabs between Ipswich Town and Leeds United.

The battle for the top six is still not fully over either, with West Brom and Hull City both seeking to sneak into the play-offs on the final day as they prepare to take on Preston and Plymouth respectively.

As for the battle to avoid the drop at the bottom end of the Championship, there is the potential for plenty drama with a total of four teams still in danger of going down - Birmingham City, Plymouth, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn.

Championship - Top 2 Finish odds

Race for automatic promotion

	MP	W	D	L	GD	Points
Ipswich Town	45	27	12	6	+33	93
Leeds United	45	27	9	9	+39	90

Ipswich Town (1/40)

Kieran McKenna's Ipswich Town are in the driving seat to achieve automatic promotion to the Premier League in second place in the Championship, with the Tractor Boys three points clear of Leeds in third, although the Whites do have a superior goal difference.

A point at home to relegation threatened Huddersfield Town will be enough to see Ipswich safely over the line to return to the Premier League for the first time since the 2001/02 season.

Leeds United (16/1)

Previously looking primed to achieve automatic promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, Daniel Farke's Leeds have stumbled at the end of the season with just one win in their last five Championship games.

Leeds not only need to beat Southampton at Elland Road on the final day of the season, but hope lowly Huddersfield also prevail over Ipswich for the Whites to sneak into the top two.

Championship - To Finish in Top 6 odds

Race for play-offs

	MP	W	D	L	GD	Points
West Brom	45	20	12	13	+20	72
Hull City	45	19	13	13	+9	70

West Brom (1/16)

West Brom are in pole position to secure a Championship play-offs berth, requiring just a point at home to an out of sorts Preston side on the final day of the season.

Although the Baggies have lost their last three league matches on the trot themselves, they should have enough to at least draw at home to Ryan Lowe's Preston who have lost their last four on the bounce in the Championship.

Hull City (9/1)

Hull City's chances of sneaking into the Championship play-offs on the final day of the campaign look slim, with the Tigers not only needing three points away at relegation threatened Plymouth, but they also need Preston do them a favour by beating West Brom at the Hawthorns.

This appears an unlikely outcome for Liam Rosenior's Hull, but stranger things have happened on the final day in the Championship.

Championship - To be Relegated odds

Battle for survival

	MP	W	D	L	GD	Points
Blackburn	45	13	11	21	-16	50
Sheffield Wednesday	45	14	8	23	-26	50
Plymouth	45	12	12	21	-12	48
Birmingham	45	12	11	22	-16	47

Birmingham City (1/2)

Birmingham City are currently in the most precarious position to be relegated from the Championship on the final day, with the Blues not only needing to beat promotion hopefuls Norwich City at St Andrew's, but also rely on results going their way elsewhere.

Gary Rowett's side need a win against Norwich and to hope Plymouth fail to beat Hull City, or either Sheffield Wednesday lose to Sunderland or Blackburn go down to champions Leicester City.

Plymouth Argyle (9/4)

Plymouth are also vulnerable heading into the final day, with the Pilgrims requiring a win at home to play-offs chasers Hull City to guarantee their Championship safety.

If Plymouth fail to beat Hull at Home Park and Birmingham are victorious against Norwich at St Andrew's, the Pilgrims will be relegated back down to League One.

Blackburn (12/1)

John Eustace's Blackburn are not out of the woods yet in their quest for Championship survival, with Rovers needing a point at league winners Leicester to secure their place in England's second tier.

A tough fixture for Blackburn and a defeat for Rovers would see them relegated if Birmingham and Plymouth both win and Sheffield Wednesday pick up at least a draw on the final day.

Sheffield Wednesday (14/1)

Previously looking doomed to return to League One, Sheffield Wednesday have put themselves in a strong position to avoid relegation under the guidance of inspirational German manager Danny Rohl.

The Owls only need a point away at Sunderland to ensure their safety, but would go down if they lose at the Stadium of Light and both Birmingham and Plymouth win on the final day.
