QPR

Preston North End and Queens Park Rangers square off against each other in what looks like a closely matched Championship encounter, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Lilywhites are without Lang, Lewis, and Ali McCann, which adds to their inconsistency (0.90 PPG). While Preston average 1.40 goals per game at home, they also concede 1.60, showing clear defensive vulnerabili ... Read More...

Birmingham City

Ipswich Town will look to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Millwall, but they are dealing with several absentees, with Burns, Button, Townsend, and Young all sidelined. As Birmingham City are not considered good travellers, we predict a 2-0 home win.

Derby County will look to stay in the playoffs race as they welcome Stoke City to Pride Park. As Derby want this win more than Stoke, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Rams are dealing with several absentees, as Salvesen, Sammie Szmodics, Vickers, and Widell Zetterstrom are all sidelined.

Sheffield United

Bristol City head into this clash with major defensive concerns, missing several key players and struggling for consistency (0.80 PPG). Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-0 away win.

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...

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 ...
