Championship Relegation Odds: Owls favourites for the drop

The Millers' relegation to the third tier has long since been confirmed, so two Championship relegation spots remain with five teams still available to bet at 11/2 or shorter.

Wednesday, in 22nd place and one point adrift of survival, albeit with a poor goal difference, head the market in front of Huddersfield and Birmingham. All the teams who are in the relegation battle have four games remaining.

Struggling Owls have work to do to survive

Sheffield Wednesday, promoted via the League One play-offs in dramatic circumstances last season, have been battling relegation all term and the oddsmakers believe that the Owls are the most likely team to fill the two remaining spots.

Danny Rohl's men picked up four straight wins from mid-February to early-March to breathe life into their survival hopes, but they've claimed just five points from their last six matches and have work to do.

The Owls can, however, draw hope from their remaining four games against fellow strugglers Stoke and Blackburn, a West Brom team who might not be at full strength with their play-off place assured and mid-table Sunderland on the final day.

Toiling Terries keeping their heads above water

Huddersfield's decision to replace Darren Moore with Andre Breitenreiter in February has yet to pay dividends and a recent 4-1 defeat at Preston had the Terriers hurtling back towards the drop zone.

Town currently occupy that magic 21st-place spot, but they are level on points with Sheffield Wednesday and their goal difference, while superior to that of the Owls, is inferior to that of both Birmingham and 20th-placed Plymouth.

Meetings with Bristol City and Swansea are up next for Breitenreiter's men but a lot will rest on the penultimate game of the season against Birmingham and they will not want to have to go to title-chasing Ipswich requiring points on the final day.

Blunt Birmingham heading in the wrong direction

It's been another season of upheaval for Birmingham, who started the season with the popular John Eustace in the dugout before gambling on Wayne Rooney's star quality in a move which went spectacularly awry.

Tony Mowbray came into steady the ship, only to step down temporarily due to illness, then Mark Venus and now Gary Rowett have both assumed interim roles in his absence.

That instability has proven costly for the Blues, who are in 23rd and a point shy of safety with four matches remaining.

A run of six defeats from seven matches has left them in trouble, although they do still have to play both Rotherham and Huddersfield.

Pilgrims hoping to keep clear of main contenders

Of the remaining contenders, it's Plymouth who are closest to the top three in the betting, but the Pilgrims have opened up a two-point buffer with an away win at Rotherham and a home draw with QPR in their last two matches.

A Friday night meeting with Leicester looks a tough task, but they'll hope to earn points from their other three matches, on the road against Stoke and Millwall and at home to Hull on the final day.

Blackburn, three points clear of the drop, face both Leeds and Leicester in the coming weeks, so their survival hopes could hinge on Ewood Park meetings with Wednesday and Coventry.
