Stoke City

Bristol City head into the final round eager to bounce back from a 2–1 defeat to Birmingham and potentially climb into 11th place. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with just a 20% win rate over the last 10 matches and 0.90 points per game.

Sheffield United

Derby County head into the decisive final round with momentum after a 3–2 win over QPR. As Sheffield United have nothing to play for in Saturday's game, we predict a 3-1 home win. The likes of Callum Elder, Tyreece John-Jules Agyemang, Bobby Clark, and Rhian Brewster are all sidelined for the hosts, but despite those absences, Derby’s form remains strong, taking 1.80 poi...

Hull City will look to sneak into the playoffs with a win over Norwich City on the last day of the regular season. As the Tigers want this win more than the visitors, we predict a 3-2 home triumph. Hull's recent form has been inconsistent (1.00 points per game), yet their matches are typically open, averaging 2.80 total goals with a high 80% BTTS rate. Defensively, they conc... Read More...

Portman Road will be packed as Ipswich Town head into a decisive clash knowing that victory will secure automatic promotion to the Premier League. Given QPR's three-game losing run in the season finale, we predict a 3-1 home win. Ipswich's recent form is solid, collecting 1.70 points per game across the last 10 matches, while averaging 1.60 goals scored. At home, the Tractor... Read More...

Millwall will look to clinch automatic Premier League promotion when they face already-relegated Oxford United on the last day of the regular season.

Portsmouth come into the final round on the back of a solid 3–1 win over Stoke City, sitting safely in 18th place with no pressure on the result. As both Portsmouth and Birmingham City will be with guards down, we predict a 2-2 draw. Pompey's recent form shows 1.40 points per game, with matches averaging a high 3.10 total goals.

West Bromwich

Sheffield Wednesday come into the final round already relegated and still sitting on negative points, aiming simply to finish “in positive zero.” However, given huge gap in quality between Wednesday and WBA, we predict a 2-0 away win.

Watford will try to make amends for a 5–1 defeat to Middlesbrough and end a run of four straight losses when they face Coventry on Matchday 46.
