Cardiff

Saturday’s football game at Ewood Park pits together Blackburn Rovers and Cardiff City, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table.

Millwall

Millwall

Preston and Millwall go head to head at Deepdale in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Lilywhites made a flying start to the season, but they do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the visit of Millwall. As Preston conceded 11 goals in total in the previous three league matches, home win should not be considered. All Alistair McCann, Andrew Hugh ... Read More...

Huddersfield

Sheffield Wednesday play host to Huddersfield Town at their Hillsborough on day 11 of the new Championship campaign. The Owls aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, but given their difficulties in front of goal, we do not believe that the rock-bottom side will record their first win of the process this weekend.

Plymouth will look to recover from a 2-0 loss to Millwall when they take on Swansea in the Championship round 11.
