Championship (England) — Goals Conceded Analysis

Teams in the Championship (England) concede an average of 1.46 goals per game this season. Southampton has the best defence, conceding only 13 goals (1.00/game), with 5 at home and 8 away. Preston has the most porous defence with 30 goals conceded (2.14/game).

Betting Angle — Defence Strength

A low goals-conceded average is a key indicator for Clean Sheet, Under 2.5, and Asian Handicap markets. Teams with a strong home defence and a weak away defence create value in venue-specific markets — always check the split before betting.
