An Apology Already?! - Championship Preview

The Championship is back for Gameweek 2, and we’re breaking down every fixture across the weekend with analysis, talking points and score predictions. We start with a quick reaction to Cardiff City’s dramatic 1-1 draw with Wrexham before turning to the full Championship schedule. Can Birmingham City build on their opening-day performance against Bristol City? Will Lincoln City mark their long-awaited Championship return to Sincil Bank with a win over Portsmouth? And can Millwall back up an impressive first weekend when Norwich City arrive at The Den? We also preview Blackburn Rovers v Middlesbrough, Derby County v Cardiff City, QPR v Bolton Wanderers and Southampton v Stoke City, before looking at Swansea City’s strong start ahead of Sheffield United, West Ham v Charlton Athletic, Wrexham v Watford and West Brom v Burnley. Along the way, we assess what we learned from the opening weekend, the players and tactical match-ups that could decide each game, which teams might already need reinforcements, and where the early-season warning signs are appearing. Plus, we give our score predictions for every Championship fixture and check in on the Championship Lowdown Predictions League and our Golden Boot Draft. If you follow the EFL Championship, your club’s promotion push, relegation battle or everything in between, this is your full Gameweek 2 preview.
