New predicted Championship table after first games for West Brom, Ipswich Town, Leeds United, QPR, Watford and rivals - gallery

Proceedings are now very much underway for the 2023/24 Sky Bet Championship season and there have already been plenty of surprises despite not too many games being played.

The likes of Leeds United, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday have failed to get off the mark as they would have hoped, whereas Plymouth Argyle, Preston North End, Birmingham City and Bristol City have overperformed.

Ipswich Town have enjoyed a buoyant start with two wins out of two, while Leicester City, Southampton and Watford have met the high standards set out before the campaign began.

Many predictions floated about and filled social media timelines as the anticipation grew ahead of the new season but opinions have already swayed heavily after some early indications in key battles in the opening weeks.

It’s not just supporters who have felt a change of mindset as the data experts at BetVictor have also switched up their predictions. Over 1,000 simulations have been made by a Python-based match algorithm and things are already looking different.

With that in mind, flick through the pages to see where all 24 Championship clubs are expected to finish at the end of the campaign, as well as the likelihoods for winning the title, achieving promotion, reaching the play-offs and being relegated.
