Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough

Derby County host Middlesbrough in a Championship clash between two sides showing very different profiles in home-and-away performance. With Derby suffering a dip in form, we predict that the Boro will emerge triumphant (1-2) in Thursday's encounter. The Rams' overall form sits at 1.20 points per game, but their home record remains a concern, collecting just 0.50 PPG at Prid... Read More...

Coventry

Charlton welcome Championship leaders Coventry City in a clash shaped by contrasting form and confidence levels. As the league leaders are determined to start 2026 in style, we predict a 2-0 away win. The Addicks have struggled for consistency, picking up just 0.70 points per game overall, though their home record is more respectable at 1.50 PPG. They average 1.00 goal score... Read More...

Southampton

Birmingham City look to return to winning ways after a 1-1 Boxing Day draw with Derby, but they are without key defender Christoph Klarer, who is suspended. Therefore, a 1-1 draw is on the cards at St. Andrews' Stadium. The Blues’ home form has been solid compared to their away struggles, earning 2.20 points per game at St Andrew’s, but they concede 0.80 goals per home m... Read More...

West Bromwich host QPR looking to bounce back after a 1-2 Boxing Day loss to Bristol City, but with the two teams being evenly matched, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw.
