Jeff Stelling, a talkSPORT breakfast host and former host of Soccer Saturday, thinks Queens Park Rangers, Charlton Athletic, and Lincoln City will be eliminated from the Championship this year.

Wolves play Blackburn Rovers on Friday night to kick off the new Championship season. Teams from all around the level will be hoping to avoid falling into League One like Oxford United, Leicester City, and Sheffield Wednesday did last season.

This season, championship teams will be attempting to stay out of relegation danger.

Sheffield Wednesday’s off-field problems made it seem inevitable that the Owls would be demoted before a ball was kicked last season. Henrik Pedersen’s team finished the season with zero points, a staggering 51 points from safety, as a result of their 18-point deduction.

However, one of the pre-season promotion favourites, Leicester City, also finished in the bottom three after suffering back-to-back relegations, demonstrating just how unpredictable the Championship can be. Their six-point deduction proved to be expensive.

Lincoln City, Cardiff City, and Bolton Wanderers will all be eager to stay out of trouble coming season after winning promotion from League One, although both the Imps and the Trotters have seen a lot of turmoil this summer.

Last season, West Bromwich Albion, Blackburn Rovers, Charlton, Portsmouth, and Stoke City just missed relegation from the Championship, while Watford, QPR, and Preston North End may have been in trouble if the season had lasted much further.

Jeff Stelling predicts that Lincoln City, Charlton Athletic, and QPR will be demoted.

The 71-year-old Stelling has released his predictions for the forthcoming Championship season, which is terrible news for fans of Lincoln, Charlton, and QPR because he believes the three teams will be relegated.Lincoln and League fled. Stelling stated on talkSPORT, “One final season,

so you can understand why their supporters would be optimistic.”I simply don’t see it.Last season, Charlton finished sixth from the bottom; they haven’t really improved.I’m going to anger every supporter of QPR by stating that I believe this might be their moment.

“Having said that, they’ve signed Tariq Lamptey and brought him back into the Championship.”He’s a gifted young man who has suffered numerous injuries throughout the years, so I sincerely hope he succeeds.”Dennis Cirkin from Sunderland is another excellent recruit from them, in my opinion.I hope I’m completely off, but those are my opinions, and I have them ranked third from bottom.”

Jeff Stelling’s relegation claim may surprise QPR supporters.

Lincoln won League One with 103 points the previous season, but they lost top player Jack Moylan and head coach Michael Skubala this summer, so Sincil Bank may have a challenging campaign.

With a 2-1 victory at Derby County in the Carabao Cup on Saturday, the Imps, who have named Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw as their new joint head coaches, got off to an impressive start. However, there are serious doubts about whether they have the depth and quality required to survive in the Championship.

After a successful start to the previous season, Charlton was as high as fifth in October. However, they fell in the second part of the season, and following a disappointing summer of transfer activity, the Addicks might be in jeopardy this time.

Although Julien Stephan’s team only won six of their final 24 games, QPR was another team that had a drop in performance in the later half of the previous campaign. However, many R’s supporters are feeling upbeat following a successful summer.

Stelling’s relegation prediction will undoubtedly raise some eyebrows at Loftus Road, as the Hoops have signed players like Pierce Charles, Tariq Lamptey, and Dennis Cirkin this summer in an attempt to address the defensive problems that beset them last season. The team has an exciting forward line that might be ready to explode into life.
