West Bromwich

West Bromwich

Blackburn Rovers will look to build on their narrow 1-0 win over Birmingham City, but a lengthy injury list remains a concern. Despite a decent 1.40 PPG, their attacking output is modest, averaging just 1.00 goal per game, dropping to 0.75 at home. Defensively, however, they are relatively solid at Ewood Park, conceding only 0.75 goals and keeping clean sheets in 50% of home ... Read More...

Norwich

Norwich

Millwall welcome Norwich City in what promises to be one of the more competitive fixtures of the round. As Millwall have been showing signs of improvement of late, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Lions are in excellent form, winning 7 of their last 10 matches (2.20 PPG), while averaging 1.80 goals scored and conceding just 0.90. The capital club have also been reliable in att ...

Oxford United

Oxford United

Portsmouth head into this clash in worrying form, currently on a seven-game winless run, largely due to a lengthy injury list. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 Oxford United win. The Pompey's home performances are particularly poor, with four straight defeats and just 0.25 goals scored per game at Fratton Park. Despite averaging 1.74 expected goals overall, they ...

Friday’s football game at the Hawthorns pits together West Bromwich Albion and Wrexham.

Sheffield Wednesday

Stoke City will look to recover from a 3-1 loss to Preston when they host Sheffield Wednesday to their Bet365 Stadium. As the Owls have little to play for in the season finale, we predict a 3-1 home win.
