Ipswich

Derby County host Ipswich in an intriguing East Midlands clash as both sides aim to consolidate their Championship positions. As both sides look sharp up front, we predict a 1-1 draw.

QPR

Charlton host QPR in a London derby with both teams looking for momentum in the Championship. Given the attacking potential of both sides, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. The Addicks are in mixed form, having won just one of their last five, though they secured a 2-0 victory over Leicester at the weekend.

Oxford United

Sheffield United host Oxford United in a Championship clash with both sides struggling near the bottom. Nonetheless, we predict a 2-0 home win as Sheffield Utd will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. The Blades are 17th, coming off a 1-1 draw with Millwall, and are missing Shackleton, Riedewald, and McCallum due to injuries. Despite recent inconsistenc... Read More...

Portsmouth host Ipswich in a Championship clash with contrasting situations. As the Pompey head into the match with a severely-weakened squad, our prediction points toward a 1-0 away win. The hosts sit in 20th place, struggling to climb out of the relegation zone, and are missing no fewer than ten players due to injuries. Despite this, Portsmouth have shown some resilience, ...

Hull City host Watford in a key Championship clash as the Tigers look to consolidate their top-three position. As Watford are low on confidence following a 2-0 loss to Swansea, we predict a 1-0 home win. The Tigers remain resilient despite a long injury list, with Ajayi, Belloumi, Crooks, Drameh, Giles, Gyabi, and Matazo sidelined. However, the team overcame Blackburn 1-0 la... Read More...

Blackburn Rovers host Sheffield Wednesday in a highly-anticipated Championship clash as both sides battle poor form.

Watford will look to return to winning ways following a 1–1 draw with Blackburn as they return to Vicarage Road with no fresh injury concerns. However, we predict a 1-1 draw as the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment.

QPR head into Saturday's clash against league leaders Coventry with a long injury list, with seven players sidelined and key defender Amadou Mbengue suspended after his red card in the 3-2 defeat to Wrexham.

A close encounter is on the cards at Fratton Park as Portsmouth and WBA go head to head in the Championship round 30. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw.

Oxford United face Birmingham City at Kassam Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter with 1-1 our predicted outcome.
