Southampton

Southampton

Blackburn Rovers and Southampton face each other at Ewood Park in what is expected to be an entertaining Championship encounter. The Riversiders do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team failing to win the previous five league matches. As a result, we are not tempted to place our bets on Valerien Ismael’s troops this time out. Adding to their woes, all Baradji, Ca... Read More...

Stoke City

Portsmouth and Stoke City go head to head on Matchday 12 in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Pompey failed to upset league leaders Coventry City in Tuesday’s clash, losing 2-1 in front of home fans, but they are surely capable of matching the Potters at Fratton Park.

High-flying Coventry will be aiming to retain top position in the Championship standings when they face Watford on Matchday 12. The Sky Blues are on a five-game winning run in the English second tier and they must be high on confidence following a 2-1 win at Portsmouth.

MIddlesbrough

Wednesday’s football game between Sheffield Wednesday and Middlesbrough will bring down the curtain on the Championship round 11. The Owls aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Coventry City and Charlton Athletic, but given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Sheffield Wednesday are still seen as one of the main candidates for relegation. Given ... Read More...

Oxford United

Racecourse Ground will be the centre of attention when Wrexham and Oxford United go head to head in the Championship round 11. The Dragons are now on a four-game winless run in the English second tier, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results.
