How next season's final Championship table is now predicted to look as Leeds United favourites, Cardiff City fancied and Swansea City see odds drift

The 2019/20 Championship fixtures are announced next week, and Cardiff City are very much among the front-runners for promotion.

The bookies have the Bluebirds as 3/1 third favourites to go up, while Swansea are now just 15th favourites at 10/1.

The Swans have seen those odds lengthen following the departure of Graham Potter and subsequent appointment of Steve Cooper. They were 9/2 eighth favourites less than a month ago.

Leeds United are now into 15/8 favourites, with Fulham and Cardiff close behind. The likes of West Brom, Stoke and Middlesbrough are also fancied to be in the mix.

Barnsley and Charlton, who could be taken over by Bluebirds chairman Mehmet Dalman in the coming weeks, are the teams predicted to struggle.

Here’s how the odds stand according to Bet365.
