Phantom Goal To Decide Championship Promotion? Reading 4/1 To Go Up

With plenty of promotion and relegation matters still to be resolved in the Championship, Sky Bet are offering a range of markets on the final day’s action.

If Reading win at the Madejski Stadium and Sheffield United draw, all three teams will finish on 80 points, in Reading’s case thanks to the point they picked up at Watford last September after the ‘phantom goal’ was given. The Royals’ superior goal difference would see them promoted and Sky Bet offer 4/1 that Reading take the second automatic promotion spot. Birmingham will be promoted if they beat Reading and are Sky Bet’s even money favourites to finish second to Wolves, with Sheffield United an 11/8 chance.

Betting is available on which of the promotion hopefuls will be quickest to score on Sunday and Sky Bet make the Blades 6/5 favourites to find the net first, with Reading at 2/1 and Birmingham at 9/4.

Cardiff, Burnley and Preston are battling for two play-off spots. The Welshmen are 1/12 to secure a playoff berth, with the rival Lancashire sides 1/4 and the 7/4 respectively.

Norwich and Barnsley are locked in a relegation battle with the Canaries 1/12 to go down and the Tykes 6/1.
