Bournemouth will look to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Luton Town at their Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Barnsley

Bloomfield Road will host Saturday’s football game between Blackpool and Barnsley, the two teams who are level on points ahead of Matchday 9. The Seasiders aim to build on a 2-1 win at Middlesbrough, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.

Preston

Saturday’s football game at St. Andrew’s Stadium pits together Birmingham City and Preston. The Blues suffered a dip in form, with the team experiencing all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Fulham (1-4), and Peterborough (0-3). Considering that experienced midfielder Gary Gardner misses the match through suspension, we are not tempted to put our mo... Read More...

QPR

WBA will be aiming to climb to automatic promotion places when they take on Queens Park Rangers at the Hawthorns on Matchday 9. The Baggies are undefeated in the 2021/2022 Championship season, but they have drawn the previous three league fixtures. Both Dara O’Shea and Matt Clarke remain in the recovery room, but there are no other absentees in the home team.

QPR will look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth when they welcome Bristol City to their Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Matchday 8. The Hoops continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and it is no wonder they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash.

Saturday’s football game at Weston Homes Stadium pits together Peterborough United and Birmingham City, the two sides who sit in the opposite halves of the table ahead of Matchday 8.

Buoyed by a 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough will be aiming to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Blackpool at their Riverside Stadium.
