Southampton

Southampton

Middlesbrough and Southampton face each other at the Riverside in what looks like a finely balanced contest between two sides, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Boro suffered a 1–0 defeat to Derby in their last league match, yet there are no fresh injury concerns, which is a positive given Hellberg’s recent rotation issues. Their overall form is mixed, but consistent i ... Read More...

Watford

Hull City and Watford go head to head at the MKM Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Championship clash. Given their attacking potentials, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. The Tigers suffered a 1–0 defeat to Stoke in their first game of 2026, where the absence of defender Ryan Giles was clearly felt, and he is expected to miss out again. Overall, Hull ... Read More...

Preston

Bristol City come into this clash in fine mood after a stunning 5–0 demolition of Portsmouth, a result achieved despite a lengthy injury list. Given Preston's defensive struggles on the road, we predict a 2-0 home win.

Charlton

Charlton

Blackburn head into this fixture under pressure and with growing selection issues. Therefore, we predict that the Riversiders will play out a 1-1 draw with Blackburn on Sunday afternoon. Blackburn's injury list was already stretched and has been further compounded by fresh knocks to Hedges and Litherland, both of whom limped off in the 2–0 defeat to Wrexham. The Rovers’ ...

Sheffield Wednesday

QPR return to Loftus Road with no fresh injury concerns following a narrow 2–1 defeat away at Norwich, and their home numbers continue to stand out as one of the strongest indicators in this matchup. As Sheffield Wednesday are stuck at the bottom and with financial issues, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Hoops have taken 2.40 points per game at home of late, winning 80% of ... Read More...

Coventry

Coventry aim to return to winning ways following a 1-1 draw with Charlton, but with Birmingham City being tough to beat at home, we predict a 1-1 draw.
