Leeds United’s title odds slashed as Aston Villa’s promotion chances boosted

The Championship campaign is hurtling towards it’s conclusion and there are just four games to play, including two days of action over the Easter weekend.

Norwich City, Leeds United and Sheffield United continue to charge towards promotion to the Premier League and it was a fantastic weekend for Marcelo Bielsa’s side, as they were the only one of that trio to secure three points.

After Norwich’s surprise draw with Wigan Athletic on Sunday, the Canaries’ title chances, according to OddsChecker, have shifted to 1/7, while Leeds’ own hopes received a boost as they have now shortened to 5/1.

Revealed: How Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest are underachieving and Norwich City, Sheffield United and Leeds United are overachievers  

The Canaries are still favourites to be playing in the top-flight next season though, as short as 1/100, with Leeds ranked at 2/9 ahead of Sheffield United at 4/5 and Aston Villa, who defeated fellow playoff hopefuls Bristol City, are priced at 9/4.

The Robins are still well fancied to reach sixth place and the final play-off spot, priced at 7/1 for promotion and 9/13 to take their season beyond May 5.

At the foot of the table, Ipswich Town’s fate has been sealed and Bolton Wanderers are expected to join them, with bookies no longer offering odds on the club to be relegated, while Rotherham are 1/4 to be the third side playing in League One next season.
