Sheffield United

Sheffield United

Charlton head into Saturday's game against Sheffield United with a severely-weakened squad, with Bell and Campbell joining an already overcrowded injury list after the 5–1 FA Cup defeat to Chelsea. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 away win. Charlton's form remains poor, with no wins in their last five and just 0.60 points per game overall. Defensive issues continue to cost them... Read More...

Portsmouth and Ipswich Town face each other at Fratton Park with both sides coming into the game in very different situations and moods. Therefore, our prediction points toward a 1-0 away win.
