This has been a trend for a few years now in all Divisions - a couple of seasons in League 2, for the first time in the top four flights, there were more away than home wins.
Teams are better set up now. 4-5-1 away from home is the norm but, at the same time, teams have more pace to support the lone forward on the counter attack.
Fella I know had something like more than 94 goals to be scored in all leagues this weekend (can't remember the exact amount of the bet) at 15/1 it came in easily!

I was wrong :-(
More chance of a home win in the Championship (45%) than in Premiership (43%), League One (37%) or League Two (33%).
If fact, an away win in the Championship is least likely out of all four divisions.
At 2.92, there are more goals per game in the Championship than in all other English divisions.
