270 minutes away from the biggest prize in sport!
May 12, 2023
Championship playoffs:
3. Luton Town
4. Middlesbrough
5. Coventry City
6. Sunderland
Last 17 seasons: The third placed team has won eight times , 4th and 5th on four occasions, the team finishing in sixth just once and not for the last twelve seasons, but Sunderland were promoted from the League 1 playoffs last season and from the "jinx" position then too, so maybe it will be a little bit of history repeating.
In terms of h2h round robin (games between the four teams this season): Coventry 10 points, Luton 7 points, Middlesbrough 7 points (lost all three away games) and Sunderland 6 pts. A lot of h2h draws (6 = 50%) , with only one decided by more than a single point.
Points picked up over the second half of the season : Luton 47 pts (+14), Boro 45 (+15), City 37 ( +4 ) and Sunderland 38 ( +7). Figures in parenthesis are the difference between second 23 and first 23 games.
Points collected over the last 10 games: Luton 20, City 17, Sunderland 17 and Boro just 12.
With such a huge prize at stake these games tend to be close , very tense affairs and many teams make avoiding defeat in the opener a priority. That is borne out by how few semi final first leg home winners there are, only 9 in those last 17 seasons, which is 34 games, a miserly 26.47%, 20 (58.82 %) were level after 45 minutes.
Good luck!
