West Bromwich

West Bromwich

A close encounter is on the cards at Fratton Park as Portsmouth and WBA go head to head in the Championship round 30. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 2-2 draw. Portsmouth continue to battle with a long injury list – nine players remain unavailable – yet the Pompey showed admirable resilience in a 1-1 draw with Southampton last weekend. At home, John Mousinho's m ... Read More...

Birmingham City

Birmingham City

Oxford United face Birmingham City at Kassam Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Yellows are likely to be without Przemyslaw Placheta, who missed the last 2-1 win over Leicester, but the rest of the squad is available. Oxford’s home form is modest (1 point per game), scoring 0.6 goals per home match and conceding 0.8, sho ... Read More...

Sheffield United

Millwall play host to Sheffield United at The Den in a match where both sides have some selection worries. Anyhow, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw as close encounter is on the cards. The Lions are missing Jensen, Luongo, Smallbone, and Mazou-Sacko, but still have solid home form, averaging 2 points per game at The Den and scoring 1.8 goals per home match. They conced ...

Middlesbrough and Norwich City face each other at Riverside Stadium in what promises to be a clash between two sides sitting in the opposite halves of the table. As the promotion-chasing hosts impressed in a 4-0 win over Preston, we predict a 2-0 home win. The Boro are showing strong attacking form at 2.8 goals per game overall and we predict that they will adopt yet another ... Read More...

Preston

Ipswich Town host Preston as they look to maintain their push for automatic promotion. With the Lilywhites being low on confidence following a 4-0 loss to Middlesbrough, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Tractor Boys are in strong form, winning 4 of their last 5 games, with home form perfect at 3.00 points per game. Injuries to Nunez, Philogene, and Townsend are notable, but t ... Read More...

Hull City

Blackburn Rovers host Hull City as both sides look to build momentum in the Championship. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. The Riversiders have struggled recently, drawing 3 of their last 5 matches, with injuries to Gudjohnsen, Hedges, Kargbo, Litherland, and Wharton limiting squad depth. Their home form is sli ...

Southampton

Stoke City welcome Southampton in what could be a tight Championship encounter, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Potters have been solid recently, earning 1.50 points per game, with home form at 1.33. However, injuries are a concern with Baker, Bozenik, Johansson, and Tchamadeu all sidelined. Mark Robins' men score 0.90 goals per game and concede just 0.70, keeping clean ... Read More...

Wrexham

Sheffield Wednesday host Wrexham in a League One clash with contrasting fortunes. Therefore, our prediction firmly points toward a 3-0 away win. The Owls are running down a blind alley, with the team sitting at the bottom of the table with just 0.20 points per game and scoring 0.30 goals on average.

Leicester City take on Charlton in a highly-anticipated Championship game on Saturday afternoon. As Charlton are not regarded as good travellers, our prediction leans toward a 1-0 home win.
