Championship

The 2025/2026 Championship season has struck a fine balance between attack and defence. With 1204 goals in 467 matches — an average of 2.58 per game — the competition has delivered plenty of drama without sacrificing tactical discipline.

Title Race. Coventry have opened up a commanding 9-point lead at the top of the table. Middlesbrough, in second on 71 points, face an uphill battle to close the gap before the season ends.

Form & Momentum. Southampton are the form team of the moment, collecting 13 points from their last five matches. That blistering run puts them at the top of the form table, with Coventry (12pts) the next best.

Goals & Stars. Z. Vipotnik leads the scoring charts with 17 goals for Swansea, but H. Wright (16) is close behind in what promises to be a tight race for the Golden Boot.
