The 2023-24 Championship season will begin at Hillsborough on Friday, as newly-promoted Sheffield Wednesday welcome relegated Southampton.

Both sides head into the term under new management, with Xisco Munoz and Russell Martin set to take charge of their first competitive games as Owls and Saints bosses respectively in the curtain-raiser.

Friday's curtain-raiser at Hillsborough promises to be an intriguing encounter, given the seasons the two sides had last time around. Due to the unrest at Sheffield Wednesday, and with the visitors' superior quality, even with the anticipated departures, we envisage Russell Martin kicking off as Saints manager with a narrow hard-fought victory.

2023-24赛季的英冠联赛将于周五在希尔斯堡开始，新升班马谢菲尔德星期三将迎来降级球队南安普顿。

两支球队都将在新管理层的带领下进入新赛季，西斯克-穆尼奥斯和拉塞尔-马丁将分别担任猫头鹰队和圣徒队的主教练，在首场比赛中负责他们的第一场正式比赛。

周五在希尔斯堡的揭幕战将会是一场有趣的交锋，因为两队在上个赛季都有过这样的交锋。由于谢菲尔德星期三的骚乱，以及客队的出色水平，即使预期的离队，我们设想拉塞尔·马丁作为圣徒的主教练将以一场艰难的胜利开始。
