VIEW PREDICTION

Norwich

Norwich

Preston and Norwich City square off against each other at Deepdale in what is expected to be a very exciting Championship game. The Lilywhites are on a three-game losing run, and, as a result, they are seen as underdogs in Friday’s football match. Since captain Alan Browne remains on the sidelines through suspension, home win should not be considered.

The Canaries,... Read More...

Rotherham

Rotherham

Milwall and Rotherham United face each other in a highly-anticipated game at the Den on Matchday 39. The Lions quickly bounced back from the 3-2 loss to QPR, with the team beating Middlesbrough thanks to Grant Hall's silly own goal. The capital club aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Millers. The good news ... Read More...

Luton

Pride Park will host Friday’s football game between Derby County and Luton Town. The Rams continue to struggle in the Championship, with the team extending their winless run to seven games before the international break. Derby County failed to impress in a 1-0 loss at Stoke City, and we do not believe that they are capable of beating Luton on Matchday 39. All Jordon Ibe, K... Read More...

Nottingham Forest

Cardiff City will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Swansea City when they take on Nottingham Forest at Cardiff City Stadium. The Bluebirds regained a much-needed confidence before the international break, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to secure a top-six finish.

Stoke City

Stoke City

Ashton Gate Stadium will host Friday’s football game between Bristol City and Stoke City. The Robins aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Rotherham United, but seeing that they have little to play for in the season finale, home win should not be considered. Both Tomas Kalas and Callum O’Dowda are sidelined with injuries, while Famara Diedhiou is a major doubt, and he wi... Read More...

Middlesbrough

Bournemouth will be aiming to bounce back from the FA Cup defeat to Southampton when they take on Middlesbrough. The Cherries will be full focused on the Championship in the remainder of the season, and, no doubt, they will fight tooth and nail in Friday’s football match.

Cardiff

Swansea City and Cardiff City square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game at Liberty Stadium. The Swans aim to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.

Birmingham City

All eyes will be on Vicarage Road when Watford and Birmingham City go head to head on Saturday afternoon. The Hornets look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the Championship.

Bet365 Stadium will host Saturday’s football match between Stoke City and Derby County, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table.
