Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers

Derby County look to revive their playoff ambitions after a frustrating 4-2 defeat to Hull City, though the positive news is the absence of any fresh injuries. As Blackburn continue to struggle on the travels, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Rams remain inconsistent, but their overall numbers show promise: they score 1.60 goals per match and create 1.32 xG, while BTTS has lan... Read More...

Watford

Bristol City head into this clash full of confidence after a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers, and although defender Luke McNally remains sidelined, his absence was barely felt at the weekend. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 1-0 home win. The Robins are consistent across home and away, averaging 1.40 points per game in all settings. Their attack produces 1....

Oxford United

Oxford United

A struggling Stoke City side are desperate to get back on course, entering this match winless in eight Championship outings. With Oxford United struggling up front, a low-scoring 1-1 draw is on the cards at Bet365 Stadium. The Potters' lengthy injury list has clearly taken a toll, reflected in just 0.83 points per game at home and a low scoring average of 0.83 goals per home... Read More...

Confident Sheffield United side return home after their fiery derby win over Sheffield Wednesdady, but injuries to Davies, McCallum and Schackleton – plus the suspension of Kalvin Phillips – leave them stretched in midfield. Anyhow, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards as both Sheffield United and Coventry City look sharp up front. The Blades have been strong at Brama... Read More...

Sheffield Wednesday

Norwich City continue their rise under intense pressure, having collected 2.10 points per game across their last five outings and winning four of their previous five. As Sheffield Wednesday are low on spirits following the "Steel City derby" defeat, we predict a routine 3-0 home win. The Canaries' home form remains a major strength, averaging 2.00 PPG at Carrow Road while sc... Read More...

Birmingham City

Millwall return to The Den aiming to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth, but with Birmingham City finding their form of late, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Lions' overall form remains strong, taking 1.80 points per game and staying unbeaten at home this season (2.00 PPG, 50% clean sheets, only 0.50 goals conceded per home match).

Southampton host QPR in a Championship clash, looking to maintain momentum after a 1-1 draw with Charlton. As Tonda Eckert's men have turned their St. Mary's Stadium into a real fortress, we predict a 2-1 home win.

Portsmouth

Wrexham and Portsmouth face each other in an eagerly-awaited Championship game. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 draw. The Dragons have been unpredictable of late, but their recent 5-3 thriller over Ipswich shows they can score freely even when the likes of Cacace, James, and O’Connor are sidelined. Wrexham averages 1.6 goals pe... Read More...
