    Surprised Swansea are the underdogs for our clash if only based on their double over us this season. They are in dire form though.

    Will never get why people get offended by betting odds.

    The odds at sky bet translate to roughly 22% chance for us to win it which seems pretty accurate to me.

    No point pretending that we’re the favourites when we’re clearly not.

    For each team, take the lay odds (the ones in the blue box) and do 1/lay odds to get the probability of them getting promoted.

    E.g. for Barnsley it’d be 1/4.6 = 0.22 = 22% chance of promotion

    to convert to fractional odds, subtract one from the lay odds. So on the exchange the odds are (roughly):
    Brentford 7/4
    Bournemouth 3/1
    Barnsley 7/2
    Swansea 19/4

    so for Brentford and Barnsley the odds are close to Sky Bet’s, but Sky Bet have overestimated Bournemouth and Swansea’s chance of promotion by quite a bit. The bad odds they’re giving for Bournemouth and Swansea are where their profit is coming from: the odds on the exchange are the “fair” odds.

    That would make it us v Brentford at Wembley (or Istanbul). I would be okay with that.

    So Swansea Bournemouth it is then with Swansea winning on Penalties

    Cant decide if we fail who I want to go up - Ideally Brentford but we have a good record against them - Not playing Swansea would be the best for us for next season

    The odds of Swansea doing the treble over us are well long. :)

    I think the odds just reflect the final league position

    An interesting stat I saw today.

    We are 3rd in the league for goals scored from set pieces with 17. However, Swansea are top of the league in goals conceded from set pieces with 7.

    Could be the difference imo.
